Skinny VS Curvy

A few days ago, we had a highly popular post on Ford+ model Marquita Pring, where she promoting the idea that designers should embrace a wide range of sizes and shapes. Marquita is back today to tell us that just like slim model Kelly Brook, she has to work hard to maintain her figure:

How do you maintain that physique?
I work hard to maintain my size. People often think that by being a plus-size model we just let go of ourselves and have no self-control. I work harder than some of the smaller girls. We have to maintain our size and be careful not to fluctuate too drastically, especially when we have consistent clients that need us at specific measurements. I’ve always been athletic, so working out is something I enjoy and do regularly. As far as diet goes, I’m a fairly healthy eater. Love to start my day with oatmeal or Ezekiel bread and fruit. Salads, chicken, and fish are major parts of my diet. I’ve never been a fan of red meat. I also try to be as gluten-free as possible because I find I feel a lot less bloated after a meal. But of course everyone has their own indulgences. Chocolate happens to be my guilty pleasure.

… says Marquita in NY Magazine.

Kelly Brook admitted that maintaining her figure takes a lot of work and unlike many celebs, Gwen Stefani agrees:

“Maintaining my post-baby body is a daily struggle. I’d like to have no rules and eat what I want, but I’ve learned over the years that I’m so disappointed when I can’t wear the clothes I want to wear.”

… says 41 year-old Gwen in a recent interview.

Super skinny TV personality Giuliana Rancic just launched a new diet and fitness website that promises to offer its readers workout tips and lots of low-calorie recipes for a ‘fun and healthy’ life. Let’s find out more from Giuliana via Radar:

“I love Fab Fit Fun,” Giuliana said. “It is a way to connect directly with people and offer up healthy tips for everything from food to drinks to my favorite new exercise. I love sharing all the cool things that I have learned about and hope that it inspires other people to live in a healthy, fun way.”

“If you’re drinking you can have skinny drinks – don’t do a margarita, they’re so much sugar. Drink tequila on the rocks with extra lime juice so it tastes really yummy.” She also warns against going overboard on sweets:

“As far as cupcakes, don’t have it! Just don’t do it. Or do it once a week. Maybe twice a week. If you start doing it too much the taste gets in your system. Especially if you’re drinking a little bit so just skip dessert. Instead when you’re craving something sweet just have an apple. You’ll feel so much better the next day.”

Giuliana and her husband Bill Rancic have gone through grueling fertility treatments, none of which have resulted in a baby for the couple. She spoke to RadarOnline.com about the mean advice people give her on Twitter, especially the taunts about her weight, telling her to just “eat a cheeseburger” and she’ll get pregnant.

“I tried eating a cheeseburger, it didn’t work! I took a pregnancy test right after I ate a cheeseburger so sorry everyone who tweeted me that great advice – it didn’t work. It’s kind of crazy that there are ignorant people out there. The bottom line is a lot of people have fertility issues. Overweight people, underweight people, healthy people. At the end of the day, unless your doctor tells you, weight doesn’t really have anything to do with it.”

Jennifer Hudson recently shared more info on how she’s transformed her figure:

“I just made sure I stuck to my Weight Watchers…I also took the extra mile to delete the carbs. I didn’t eat any carbs until today. I made sure when I felt the need to eat something crunchy I ate nuts instead and stayed away from the carbs.”

… said Jennifer at the Vanity Fair Oscar party.

Wow… ‘deleting all carbs’ sounds kinda strict / unnecassary. Are you fans of low-carb diets?
