Mischa Barton Doesn’t Do Crash Diets… She Does Pilates

OK! Magazine says:
In recent days, slender star Mischa Barton’s even slighter frame has been cause for concern among many celebrity weight watchers, but the former O.C. actress insists to OK! she isn’t taking matters to extremes, and reveals that pilates is her secret to looking svelte.
“For me, it’s all about pilates recently,” the 23-year-old told OK! during Tuesday night’s G-Star Raw luxury jeans fashion show at NYC’s Hammerstein Ballroom. “I’m obsessed with pilates. I think it’s so fun.”
And whatever you might believe, Mischa says she’s certainly not starving herself.
“I don’t do any crash diets,” she explained. “There’s nothing that I really do like that, because I’m always working. I mean, before I go do a film, I do workout more. I do get ready for a film and try to be healthy and in shape. And when I’m not working, I do less of it.”
To get into fighting form, Mischa says it’s all about the gym.
“I do more cardio because I work long hours. Jogging, running — stuff like that’s really good before you do a film so you have more energy.”
oh yeah like we will buy that crap!
is she “working” right now? I haven’t seen her or heard of her being in anything lately.
Pilates will never make you drop so many pounds so fast, b****sh*t but they do sculpt your body! She is lying…. her best answer will be “I starve myself”!
i hate how everytime a celebrity divulges their “weight loss secrets” it’s more or less the same thing-
“i eat 6 times a day and i do yoga/pilates/kettlebells/some-trendy-exercise 3 times a week…and i’ve lost 20 lbs in the past month!”
as. if.
either they’re doing pilates (for hours and hours, seven days a week) and eating six (150 calorie) meals a day, or they’re lying.
if it were that easy to lose weight, i’d already weigh 100lbs.
yeah its defo pilates. and not eating.
Too bad she gets criticized for being healthy, eating right, and looking great. I will never understand you people. Seems like she in order to meet your requirements of being “healthy”, she would need to gain 50+ pounds.
JJJ you are totally missing the point. Most of us would congratulate her on shedding the weight healthily (because i admit, she was starting to get a little too heavy) but this is just complete bullsh*t. there is no way she lost that much weight without essentially starving herself. I think the dreadful complexion seen in some recent pictures would be testament to that!
I don’t buy it. She doesn’t look newly slim in a “I work out” way, she looks slim in a “I don’t eat b/c I’m baked 24/7″ way.
I was going to complement on how she look god in this picture(wel she does. i can’t deny)
but then i had to scroll past the sickly gaunt picture in the related posts box, and I changed my mind…hmmm, Maybe she looked sickly that day b/c she was really actaully sick…
She has clothes on, I don’t get how she doesn’t look like she lost it in a healthy way. The “gaunt” picture, well anyone can look like that in the right bad photo. That doesn’t mean anything. The way her head is, she is straining her neck muscles. I don’t get how thin people can be thin, but when heavier people get thin, they must be unhealthy or starving themselves. Rather than congratulating them for wanting to be healthy instead of unhealthy (overweight).
Well, considering the fact she wasn’t overweight to begin with(untoned, a little out of shape, but not in any way overweight), I can see how people are adamant that she isn’t healthy thin right now. She was close to healthy thin a couple of months ago(talking about the bikini pics), but now she isn’t. The gaunt picture, she’s not turning her head enough to be straining her neck muscles, well, unless she’s really pissed and trying to hold it all in, but she doesn’t looked pissed, she looks really tired/worn out.
IMO
yeah, what’s ironic is that a few months ago, when she was being ripped apart for being heavy, she was probably #still# barely at her ideal weight on the bmi scale. i mean, i would bet money she was still on the low side of normal. most celebrities are underweight now. if every celebrity in hollywood was forced to reach their optimum on the bmi, they would probably look ‘fat’ to a lot of people. i realized how warped my perception of weight was when i went to the doctor recently and realized i was fourteen pounds below my optimum bmi.. i’d even been worried i was getting too heavy! but was still underweight on the bmi… i couldn’t even imagine what i’d look like fourteen pounds heavier. it’s made me realize how crazy everything is.. and im trying to change my perception
She looks pretty in this photo. I prefer this style than her hippy style.
