Skinny VS Curvy

Kristen Bell can be found on the cover of Self Magazine this month, where she talks about her diet as (and reasons for becoming) a vegetarian – here’s what she says:

On what she eats as a vegetarian:
“I’ve been a vegetarian since I was 11, because I couldn’t understand why if we didn’t eat the dog I should eat a burger. I love animals, and I stand by my values. So in the morning, I have an apple and, if we have leftover pizza, I scrape the toppings into egg whites. Pizza eggs are better than you can imagine! For lunch, I’ll have a big salad and a veggie burger. I’m a fan of multicourse dinners. Last night, I made brussels sprouts baked with balsamic vinegar, grapes and walnuts; butternut squash ravioli; and a “garbage disposal” salad, which is everything in the veggie and fruit drawers: lentils, spinach, romaine, blueberries, cucumbers, raspberries, almonds, carrots and avocado. Literally anything. You don’t even need a dressing because there are so many tastes.”

… says 31 year-old Kristen.

‘I had a buttered Pop Tart this morning,’ she said. ‘I’m eating a lot of stuff that I ate in my childhood. Kraft Mac n’ Cheese, Pop Tarts, Cap’n Crunch. Everything’s filled with sugar. I’m like, ‘Yeah, I can do it. We’ll worry about the rest afterwards.’

Rachel McAdams has a little diet-related quote for you:

“I was one (a vegetarian) once, but it made me very tired. I just ate pasta – I was the most unhealthy vegetarian ever! I’d like to try it again now that I know about (popular meat alternatives) quinoa and bulgur. I think I’d be better the second time around.”

Eva Longoria had a similar thought recently, check it out here!

Eva Longoria covers Health magazine this month and she has a few interesting thoughts to share:

On how she defines a healthy life:
“People think health only has to do with your physical being, but for me, it’s so much more. I remember after my divorce, I was so thin and everyone kept saying how great I looked and it was probably the most unhealthy place I’ve ever been. So it was funny what people would see as ‘healthy.’ In my worst time, people were saying I’ve never looked better. [But now] I have a great diet and exercise routine. And I try to have a healthy outlook. I’m your everlasting, hopeless optimist!”

On her big health regret:
“Well, I think the time that I became a vegan. [Laughs] I love the philosophy behind veganism, but I went from one day eating chicken and meat to eating just salad. I didn’t know how to be a vegan. I didn’t know about soy or almond butter. I didn’t know that there are great breads. So I literally stuck to salads. And I think I passed out the first week.”

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.’

… says Molly.
