Skinny VS Curvy

37 year-old actress Eva Mendes recently told Health & Beauty Magazine that even though she doesn’t diet, she does have to work out to maintain her figure:

“[My philosophy] is to work out and eat what I want. I really like brown rice and vegetables, and always have a couple of apples in my bag. I always drink a glass of water with squeezed lemon juice before bed and when I wake up. I have a seriously sweet tooth, so I eat dark chocolate to satisfy any cravings.”

… says Eva in Health & Beauty magazine.

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.

Gwen Stefani, who recently told us that she puts on her elaborate make-up every day,  covers InStyle UK this month and she also brings by a few quotes on her workout and eating habits:

On maintaining a healthy lifestyle:
“In the past, I was a runner and kick-boxer. I also did weight training. These days, I do Pilates, yoga and a lot of walking – now, it’s more about feeling good than looking good.”

On eating the right foods:
“I’m conscious of what I eat, but sme days I cave and have cookies. On fun nights with the family, my husband cooks amazing things and there will be carbs.”

… says 42 year-old Gwen.

“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.”

… says Scarlett.

A pretty abrasive statement in the title – let’s find out the details from People:

Two months after revealing her new, 100 lbs.-lighter figure, Kirstie Alley is looking svelte and fabulous as ever, despite the pitfalls that come after losing weight.

“Maintenance probably is the hardest part,” Alley, 60, told PEOPLE at last night’s Dancing with the Stars. Her solution? Dancing.

“I dance almost every day,” says Alley, adding that her own run on the show “gave me something that I can do every day that I actually love that doesn’t feel like a hardship or a grind. Come on, getting on a treadmill every day would make me slit my throat.”

And she’s got her former dancing partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy to thank for keeping her exercise tedium at bay.

“To warm up, I do the cha cha that Maks and I did,” she says, adding that her current dance teacher does ballroom fitness with her, which “kicks your ass, it’s crazy.”

To supplement her dancing, Alley uses a weight loss product called Rescue Me that she also promotes. Thanks to it, she says, “I probably have more energy than I’ve ever had in my life.”
