Skinny VS Curvy

A few days ago, we admired model and actress Molly Sims in a bikini on the pages of Shape Magazine. Today, Molly is back to tell us that her fit figure requires diet and exercise in order to look this good:

‘This does not come naturally. I have to work out 60 to 90 minutes at least five days a week and stick to a high- fibre, low-calorie eating plan.’

‘I wanted to be consistent with my exercise, so I committed to working out for 30 days in a row, no matter what. For an hour every day, I did something. I was on the elliptical or the treadmill, and if someone asked me to go to a class — whether it was spinning, boxing, yoga, you name it — I went. By the end of the month, I felt so good, I just kept going. I didn’t want to lose my momentum.’

At high request, a weight loss story on British socialite Peaches Geldof (22), who managed to lose a significant amount of weight since last year (see pictures above and below). The Sun reports that Peaches is doing a ‘gross’ juice diet because she sometimes ‘feels fat’ and pressured by fashion magazines – here’s the full story:

It was feared that the OMG! With Peaches Geldof host’s new tiny frame may have been down to drug use after she was photographed in September with dark bruises close to veins on her left arm. But Peaches – whose mum Paula Yates died of a heroin overdose in 2000 – has now claimed that her weight loss is down to a fad diet which consists of just liquefied vegetables. Peaches has told how she can drop ten pounds on the dangerous slimming plan.

She said: “I do juicing. You juice vegetables and then you drink it three times a day. It’s gross. I do it usually for about a month. I have no willpower but with the juicing I’m like, ‘I have to do it because I have to lose this extra ten pounds. I will lose it then I’m back going mental for the chips. I’ll juice and then I eat chips.”

Peaches was estimated to have lost one-and-a-half stone between March and July this year, slimming from 10st to just 8 1/2st. But in August she reassured worried fans by tweeting: “To those telling me I look skinny and to eat something, I can assure you I’ve just cut out eating crap. I still eat like a horse.”

However, Peaches, who is often pictured in celebrity magazines, has now said that she felt pressured by fashion mags to be thin. She said: “Sometimes it’s hard. If you open any high-fashion magazine, the girls in it are stick-thin and then they’ve been airbrushed down to the point where it’s just ludicrousness. I have days when I wake up and think, ‘I’m so fat.’ ”

What do you think of her story and body makeover?

“I exercise and eat well. I do it so I can indulge every now and then. I can have half a bottle of wine and not sit around thinking, oh my God, all those calories! However, when you’re working and getting up at 4am to train for three hours every day, drinking isn’t what you necessarily want to do. The discipline it takes to keep to that schedule sucks.”

Nicole Scherzinger recently told us that she once tried every diet imaginable – today though, Nicole is less obsessive about food and claims she eats a lot:

I eat – a lot! Even with my crazy schedule, I never skip meals. I’ll often have soft-boiled eggs, smoked salmon, and whole-wheat toast for breakfast; cold cuts, veggies, and fruit for lunch; and usually chicken or fish with rice and more vegetables for dinner. But to really satisfy my cravings, I turn to my roots. I was born in Hawaii, so I love dried tuna dipped in soy sauce, kalua pig [pork cooked in an underground oven], banana pancakes with coconut syrup and chocolate-covered macadamia nuts. My gosh, I could gain ten pounds just talking about those foods.

Nicole Scherzinger embraces the cover of Shape magazine this month – and you know what this means: interesting body and weight-related quotes coming right up! Let’s see what she has to say:

I started jogging and counting calories when I was just 14. I’ve been on every diet you can imagine. By the time I was in the Pussycat Dolls, I was on the scale all the time. It became my enemy because I noticed that when I exercised really hard, I’d gain weight. Now that I’m in my 30s, I’ve stepped off the scale – I just go by how my clothes fit.

My new motto is: Stay active, eat everything in moderation, and stop being so tough on myself. I’m more accepting of my body and have learned to really embrace it. These days it’s all about finding balance.

… says Nicole.
