How Kimora Lee Simmons Lost 25 Pounds

By Rob Shuter Posted Apr 14th 2011 12:15PM

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!

Here is the problem...All these celebrities lose alot of weight trying to fit in and think they will look better but at the end they look worse. She is a Big Gal and she doesn't need to lose to much weight. In my opinion I think she lose to much....she looks sick.

This just makes me angry! I feel so sorry for her daughters! The example and expectations she is setting for them is absolutely horrifying. With younger and younger girls developing body image issues and eating disorders, she needs to watch what message she is sending to her girls. Instead of not eating, how about practicing portion control, exercise, and nutrition? I lost 25 pounds through exercise and nutrition, not starvation. How about embracing your body, instead of starving yourself to attain an ideal that is unrealistic? Ms. Simmons doesn't look healthy at all. She looks like she's got an eating disorder(which she does). Ms. Simmons, you disgust me!

By Deena

Didn't your mother ever teach you, if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. Just my opinion but, you sound like a HATER~

By Steve

I would shave her butt and make her walk backwards on all 4's
Then she might look better,her neck looks like the band on a earth worm!!

HATER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

By Big T

She look nasty

By Sara

I liked the "before" better too.

By Southpaw

Not eating is not the way to lose weight (if you want to keep it off). Screws up the metabolism by slowing it down. She didn't do herself any favors, and I'm surprised she would actually tell anyone. Doesn't sound very bright.

By Donna

She looks the same in both pictures to me.

If this is the cost for CELEBRITY or FAME, the price is too high. How high is the IQ of these women and young women, who starve themselves to be so thin they endanger their health and the health of other young women who are being raised to think this is a lifestyle to emulate. When are we going to empower and support young women to be happy with the skin they are in and be independent thinkers?

What does her I.Q.have to do with this? I hear the insult. Sounds like a HATER!

By mszags

women are taught from a young age that they must please men and men want slender women with big boobs and butts....but they don`t want fat. Sex sells and fat is`nt sexy. When we stop teaching our kids and ourselves to visually be pleasing to others at any cost then we empower them. Sad that celebrities and designers, and advertisers can`t process this.
