How Kimora Lee Simmons Lost 25 Pounds
EXCLUSIVE: Kimora Lee Simmons shocked everyone recently when she hit the red carpet 25 lbs lighter, but now she's ready to reveal how she and other famous stars lose that kind of weight.
"By not eating a whole lot," Kimora half-jokingly tells me. "But I don't like to tell the kids that so they think they shouldn't eat. No, I watch my portions, and I eat leaner proteins and vegetables and stuff like that."
The gorgeous Missouri native was in a giving mood during our afternoon rendezvous, so she listed her food intake for the entire day.
"So I woke up this morning and ordered breakfast at 4 AM. I had egg whites scrambled, spinach, turkey bacon and a glass of orange juice," she said, noting she skipped lunch. "The reason I had such a big breakfast is because I hadn't eaten in two days. I've had fruit, I've had a smoothie, I've had a protein bar, but it's not like I've had Doritos."
Also, running around after three young children (two with Russell Simmons, one with Djimon Hounsou) keeps her active. But moving to LA certainly made Kimora want to lose weight.
"I was out one night with two famous sisters" -- Kimora asked that I not reveal the identity of the young reality stars -- "when a bunch of burgers were being passed around. I went to grab one and the two of them looked shocked. They said, 'We don't eat.' Then after I grabbed a burger, they said they were joking but I knew they weren't!"
Move back east, ladies. Where NOT starving yourself is far more chic!

Not for nothing, I think she looked a lot better and sexier before. Cant stand people who think a size 2 is sexy. Guess they dont remember the real sex symbols like Marilyn Monroe and others who had healthy and beautiful bodies.

She went out with 2 sisters...gag ...please...as they told her they did not eat....likely the old addicted twins. They do not eat, they snort. She is using these two freaks as role models for her diet? Very sad. Evidently Kimora has a lot of learning to do. GROW UP!

First off--Deena, are you Kimora or one of her friends? Because you are trolling this board like a crazy person on crack! You feel the need to point out every person with an opinion that varies from your own, labeling them as a 'hater' Umm no. I'm sorry but it's called an OPINION and this is an opinion piece based on an interview, learn something about journalism please. Secondly, for everyone who says "worry about your own life, not hers" that isn't possible when you deal with a celebrity. She is putting her life out there for young girls and women to read and view, allowing them to see her as a role-model and take her advice on matters. Saying you are watching your portions, eating higher protein, etc..and then telling people you haven't eaten in two days so you gorged on a bigger breakfast and then skipped lunch is unhealthy not only for your body but your mind. If she wants to mess up her metabolism, then she can go ahead and keep up with this routine. If she wants to be a bad role-model, then she can keep preaching it. And sorry--that isn't hating, that physiology, biochemistry and TRUTH. :)

I always thought Kimora was strong woman that doesn't let anyone influence her. The sad thing is that she has 2 lovely daughter that are going to be influenced by their mom's decision that you have to be thin to be beautiful. People should be happy with theirselves and not be influenced by the media and stars.
Kimora you looked fantastic before and should keep true to yourself and be happy just to be yourself.

I totally agree with those who said that they wished the media wouldn't encourage unhealthy eating as a way to loose weight. Also, frankly, before she lost the 25 lbs, she looked great! She had curves like a woman, vs. looking like she hasn't hit puberty yet. Hollywood is so out of touch with reality it's sickening.

Hey,When I was young...I kept my weight off by not eating in small spells. Later I ballooned out to 240lbs. I went back to my old ways, mostly eating 1 small sumthin' a day. I have lost back to 170, and am 5'10. Food is a long lost lover.
Go fly a kite and quit judging others for what works for them.
