Skinny VS Curvy

From US Magazine:

Kristin Cavallari’s workout mentality? No pain, no gain.

The Hills star, 23, takes a circuit training class at her gym that “kicks your ass,” she tells UsMagazine.com.

“I never want to go and I walk out dripping in sweat and it kills you, but it works,” she admits of the class, called Burn 60. “And I feel good… This is the first time in my life where I’ve really been working out consistently.”

“Once you see results, you want to maintain them and you want to keep it going and that makes you want to go to the gym,” she tells Us.

As for her diet, Cavallari’s secret to staying slim and trim is all about control — and a reward!

“Control for six days of the week,” she says, “and then letting yourself eat whatever you want on that one day!”

Are you supporters of the “control 6 days, eat whatever 1 day” diet/lifestyle?

Anyway, Kristin got very thin and I personally think she looked prettier / healthier before the weight loss. Pictured: Kristen 14 months ago (in yellow) and Kristen now (in purple).

Which Kristen do YOU prefer?

Us Magazine’s got a little article about stars that got fit recently (?)  - and since it’s a lazy Sunday, let’s take a look!

Nicole Richie
After giving birth to her son Sparrow in September, the star has debuted an impressively svelte post-baby physique. Her secret? Jay-Z! “I’ve lost 10 lbs. from dancing!” she boasted on Twitter. “H to the izzo. V to the izza!”

Lady Gaga
The breakout pop superstar of 2009 — known for her avant-garde and often revealing outfits — has been sporting a thinner, more muscular frame as her celebrity continues to grow.

Kelly Osbourne
The 25-year-old dropped 20 pounds during her stint on Dancing With the Stars, but not without sacrifice! “I’m f—ing starving right now!” she told Us. Although the size-2/4 star didn’t win, she says she “already proved myself.”

Christina Aguilera
“I feel sexiest in the nude,” the 29 year-old told British Cosmopolitan magazine. Of her post-baby body, the mother to son Max (he turns two in January 2010) says “it’s important to keep a strong sense of yourself when you’re a mum… be confident in your sexuality.”

Britney Spears
“I’ve had to work hard at getting [my body] back to where it used to be,” Spears, 28, told Glamour magazine of her much-publicized comeback from a meltdown breakdown — and a flabbier look.

P.S.: Britney’s comparative pics show nothing else than the fact that the second dress is more flattering. And what do you guys think about Kelly Osbourne’s quote and size?

The first winner of America’s Next Top Model turned Playboy model Adrianne Curry had to share a weight “tragedy”:

“I was hiding my fat ass until I lost a bunch of weight. A few weeks ago I went in for my yearly womanly exam and I weighed in a 150.5 pounds and I crapped my pants,” Curry added. “I am on a no-carb diet. So I’ve started eating fish, steamed vegetables, no butter, no sugar, no bread, and no fun and now I’m at 136 pounds. I’m also going to the gym, I don’t believe in being thin disgusting. I like to have muscle.”

To resume, she is 27 years old, 5’10” ( 179 cm), was 150 pounds (68 kg) and is now 136 pounds (62 kg). She was always slim.

Elle Magazine says that Kate Hudson lost a lot of weight in the recent months. Here’s the exact paragraph:

Yes, this really is Kate Hudson. When ELLE met up with the actress in New York to shoot our December cover, we were pretty amazed, too. We’ve photographed and interviewed Kate before, of course, the last time for our April 2008 issue, some 20 months ago. But while the bright smile and easy-going persona were familiar, Kate’s incredible new body was something of a shock.
In the process of losing weight for a role in which she plays a terminally-ill woman, 30-year-old Hudson describes her body as ‘Pretty solid, actually. I’m not, like, 110lbs. But I’m probably heading towards that.’

Writer Choire Sicha meets Kate for lunch, but when she turns up at the restaurant she’s already eaten. Apparently, her meal consisted of some beetroot from a plastic container that’s now stained red and that, for no apparent reason, she will carry around for the rest of the day.

I would certainly not describe Kate’s weight loss as “shocking”, because she was always slim and still is slim. She’s 5’6”.

You might remember that 35 year-old Alanis Morisette lost weight last year – People Magazine has a detailed story about it:

Morissette is proud of her new, fit body – because, for the first time, she achieved it in a healthy manner. In addition to her workout regiment, Morissette, 35, follows a mostly vegan diet inspired by Dr. Joel Fuhrman’s book Eat to Live. “I’m eating like an adult rather than like a 7-year-old at a candy store,” she says. “Now, around food, I can be trusted.”

The star’s eating issues began in her early teens, when the budding singer was told by a music exec that she had to lose weight if she wanted to succeed. She quickly took the criticism to an extreme, turning to anorexia and bulimia. “I’d go up and down at least 20 lbs. fast – sometimes in two weeks,” says Morissette, who became “covert, lonely and isolated.” After years of feeling helpless, she reached a turning point at age 17 when a friend “followed me to the bathroom,” she says. “I just started sobbing. She held me, and that was the beginning of the end. I took myself to therapy.”

But Morissette insists there was no heavy emotional issue behind her weight gain last year – not even her highly publicized 2007 split from fiance Ryan Reynolds… “Any breakup I’ve been through, the weeks following are fragile,” she admits. “But when I go through emotional shifts in life, I actually don’t eat as much.” So what was the cause behind the curves? Simply having fun on the road. “I was eating Italian food at two in the morning, drinking wine and margaritas,” says Morissette, who dubbed this period her “Indulgence Tour.” “It was the most fun I’ve ever had! But I didn’t want to stay there…”

[Inset information] The Book. Morrissette’s “redefining moment” came when she discovered Dr. Joel Fuhrman’s diet, which stresses nutrient-dense foods such as cucumbers and collards. “It was a big lifestyle change for me.”

Her Meals. The singer starts out with a spinach banana smoothie and then digs into a kale salad for lunch. For a snack, she’ll have her favorite grapefruit.

Mini indulgences. “If I’m PMSing and I really need chocolate, I’ll eat the chocolate.”
