Skinny VS Curvy

“There’s been a few stories this week stating that I’m trying to lose two stone before Christmas and I don’t eat anything but fruit after midday. It’s all nonsense!

“I’m comfortable with the size I am. I do train a few times a week, but it’s only so I can eat more! I don’t want people to believe what they’re reading – it’s a negative thing to be putting out to young girls and I don’t want to be part of it.”

… says Girls Aloud’s Kimberley in a recent statement, as a response to various tabloids that claimed that the star was on a strict diet.

Joan Collins recently told us that in her opinion, ‘people eat way too much’ – today, the veteran star is back with another quote:

“What dismays me… is the emphasis now on women who are excessively thin, both in magazines and on TV. I think that is terrifying.

“I know a producer who, when there were two actresses up for the same role, and one was a little heavier about the hips, said, ‘No, she’s too fat’ even though she was much better for the part.

“It’s impossible, if you’re over 25 or 30, trying to get down to be extremely thin. I still remember the pain of slimming down for a film when I was in my 40s, when I had to subsist on a meagre 850 calories a day. I could still do it; a couple of boiled eggs, a tablespoon of tuna, quite a lot of lettuce and a tomato. Anyone can do it but why should they? Life is too short and food is too good.”

Hot mommy / supermodel Adriana Lima recently opened up about her post-baby body, her diet and weight loss program:

“I always change my diet constantly every year I do something different, and this year it had to be exceptional because I just had a baby. So I had extra weight that I put on, and also my body was completely different — I felt like my bone structure just changed completely. I really had to work in a different way, so I did a few different things.”

“I started with a liquid detox and then, after I did only protein . . . I went to a nutritionist — everything is followed by a doctor. It’s not that I just decide on my own, ‘I’m doing this! I’m doing that!’ No. I have a nutritionist, and he does a series of exams, breathing, blood and everything else. And from there he sees how my metabolism works. If my digestion is fast, what type of food makes me bloated and not — all of these types of things . . . Food-wise I eat like anything green, any green vegetables grilled or any type of meats grilled, like four ounces of anything, for lunch and dinner. Between that I have either a shake or cereal bar.”

… says Adriana, here pictured while posing for VS in July 2010.

“Bagels – they’re the best thing ever! Americans just love variety; there’s so much choice, it’s overwhelming. But I love trying the blueberry and raisin and cinnamon bagels. Luckily, I exercise a lot.”

… says Emma.

Hilary Duff recently opened up about the time when she lost a lot of weight back in 2005:

“I literally ate nothing but steamed vegetables and broiled or grilled chicken, with nothing else.

“I was touring all the time, traveling everywhere, and I felt so run down. Not giving your body enough of what it needs is really dangerous. I regret it because I don’t think I was happy then.

“At the time, I felt almost proud of being skinny, but one day the mother of a fan came up to me and said, ‘Are you OK? Are they not feeding you?’

“After that, all of a sudden, I stopped being as concerned about everything. It wasn’t a big intervention or anything. I got off tour and changed. I started hanging out with my friends and cooking and had a more normal life.”

… says Hilary.
