Skinny VS Curvy

Tweet

Hair color: I always wanted to be blonde when I was little, like Barbie and Pamela Anderson, but it would really damage my hair. It was exotic to me, as my entire family has dark hair. If I did it, I would go white- blonde- really platinum.

No cardio: Sport gives me positive energy so I exercise everyday with my trainer, Harley Pasternak. Each circuit is 45 minutes long and I lift weights but never do cardio

No diet: I eat five times a day and don’t diet, but I do eat healthily- mostly raw and vegan food, with no dairy. It’s not always possible with travel and filming, but I try. I also take supplements like silica and fish oil religiously.

Makeup: I try to keep my make-up fresh, clean and pretty on the red carpet. My signature look is red lipstick worn with plain eyes, so I apply a light foundation, then on my cheeks I use blush or sometimes the same lipstick that I’m wearing. Giorgio Armani Rouge d’Armani Lipstick in 400, £23, contrasts well with my pale complexion and dark hair.

No makeup: Even when I’m working I don’t like wearing too much make-up, but when I’m on my own I go bare-faced as I like to give my skin a rest.

Another celebrity-what do they eat story: actress Sophia Bush reveals the top 3 foods she can’t live without:

1. Oatmeal. Bush says she tries to keep a lot of healthy, whole grains in the house, including oatmeal. And why not? Oatmeal is nutritious, versatile and makes for a satisfying breakfast (not to mention it’s a superfood for better sex!) What’s not to like?

2. Brown rice. This whole grain is another smart choice. A 1/2 cup of brown rice has almost 2 grams of fiber, while its counterpart, white rice, has none. And not only can you cook brown rice with basically anything, but it’s full of manganese, which is an anti-aging property, and antioxidants.

3. Kilwin’s ice cream. Ok, so the ice cream itself isn’t really that healthy. But it is healthy to indulge once in a while. “When I’m in North Carolina, I can’t get enough of it,” Bush says. “I’m like a bloodhound; I can pick up the scent a mile away.” It’s all about balance — it is important to maintain a healthy diet of whole grains, fruits and vegetables, but it’s also important to enjoy yourself once in a while, and sometimes that means letting yourself give in to your cravings, whatever they may be.

Since you guys seem to love the ‘what do celebrities eat?’ posts, here’s Desperate Housewife Vanessa Williams and her one day menu, plus her exercise routine – from OK Magazine:

BREAKFAST
“I’m in Athens, Greece at the moment so food for summer has been light,” she tells me. “To start my day, I had a cup of herbal tea followed by a cup of mango juice. I eat scrambled eggs and yogurt with fruit when there’s time for me to sit down.”

LUNCH
“Lunch was prosciutto wrapped around Greek cheese and small cherry tomatoes.”

DINNER
“I had a traditional Greek dinner with saganaki – hot cheese – salad, fries, grilled chicken & beef, eggplant and yogurt dressing.”

EXERCISE
“Weight training, yoga, Tae Bo, biking and salsa dancing all help mix up my routine.”

SHE MIXES IT UP
“I was In Japan recently and ate all Japanese while there. So – when in Rome. I love variety in food, my workout, and life in general.”

WHAT SCALE?!
“I don’t weigh myself and leave my clothing to be the judge.”

DIET MOTTO
“My motto is to live and be prepared to work hard. It works with diet, exercise and our chosen professions.”

… says 48 year-old Vanessa.

Actress Emily Deschanel (who is currently pregnant and vegan) has a little quote for you:

“In Hollywood there’s so much pressure to appear a certain way — to be skinny and to look young. When I was growing up, I never cared about whether I was pretty or not. But when I was 12, a friend’s mom told me I was flat-chested and had fat thighs.”

“That really hurt my feelings and it kind of scarred me. I started becoming aware of how other people judged me.”

… says Emily.

Just yesterday, Giuliana Rancic told us that she eats whatever she wants. Check out the post here! Today we’ve got another thin celebrity who says that she indulges in pasta, pizza and all things yummy: Candice Swanepoel!

“Lately I’ve been eating whatever I want. When I was younger it used to affect me a lot more, I would feel it in my face, but as I’m older I can eat whatever I want. To feel good and healthy I eat a lot of vegetables, drink a lot of water, and I eat a lot of meat like steak because I want to build muscle.”

“But people don’t realize how hard it is to keep eating habits consistent when you’re traveling,” she said, while admitting that she never deprives herself! “I’ll indulge in pasta, pizza and lots of yummy things.”

… says Candice.
