Celebrity Trainer Secrets: How Stars Lose Weight Fast

By Amber James Posted Jan 3rd 2011 08:00PM

Ever wonder how celebrities tone up so quickly? Well, PopEater got the inside scoop from celebrity trainers and discovered the workout secrets that keep Hollywood's hottest stars in shape. As one of Tinseltown's most sought-after trainers, Michael George has helped sculpt the physiques of Reese Witherspoon, Toby Maguire, Julianne Moore, Christian Slater and Dennis Quaid. Here are his tips on how you can work your way to an A-list body.

► Diets don't work. They never have and they never will. Choose a way of eating that you can adhere to for life, one that supports weight loss and management -- like the Mediterranean or Zone nutrition plans.

► Eat three light meals and two small snacks daily to support a high-functioning metabolism.

► Eat strategically. Eat starchier carbs in the morning or early afternoon, tapering them off throughout the day, so your last meal of the day is just protein and vegetables.

► Drink lots of water. If you have a problem with portion control, and most people do, make it a habit to drink a full glass of water before each meal.

►Do not use restriction in your meal plan unless you can't eat certain foods (pizza, sugar, cookies, bread) in moderation. Restriction only promotes the feeling of deprivation, which in turn pushes you to crave and obsess about the very foods you are trying to restrict.

These stories always make me laugh. Stars have personal trainers, live in chefs and possibly a gym in their home. How many of us can say that? They tone up so quickly....yeah...I guess they do.

I agree. And they're even paid for that!
