The 41 year old explained how she manages to maintain her fabulous figure by keeping her legs toned and body bikini ready by running, either on the treadmill or outdoors. “I do a lot of running. Exercise is so important”.

Jennifer’s workout comprises of running, yoga and finishing off with 20 minutes of interval training on an elliptical trainer or treadmill, running at 5.7mph at an incline of 1.5.

The disciplined exercise regime is definitely paying off, as now in her early 40s, Aniston has made it into the Top 10 of ‘Best Summer Bodies of 2010’ as featured in Women’s Health Magazine, the poll being topped by supermodel Brooklyn Decker.

A longtime follower of the Zone Diet, Jennifer adheres to a strict healthy, high protein, low-carb diet and claims “Balance is the key”. Further stating, “Work, exercise, diet. You need balance”.

The highly paid and extremely busy actress, who got divorced from actor Brad Pitt in 2005, is vastly becoming a one-woman corporation. Endorsing in fitness products such as SmartWater vitamin water long with her new fragrance Lolavie, the Jennifer is embracing getting older stating “I feel more comfortable today than I ever did in my 20’s or early 30’s”. She also quotes “I’m healthier. I’m more at peace in my mind and with my body. I’m startin’ to live. It’s good!”

Naomi Campbell & The Lemon Detox Diet – Supermodel’s Diet Secret Revealed.

The controversial supermodel, Naomi Campbell has revealed that, 3 times a year she follows the Lemon Detox Diet.

Nudging 40, the supermodel carries herself impeccably while bearing the looks of a woman half her age. Today we’ve had an insight as to how she helps maintain that stunning and enviable figure.

Speaking on “The Oprah Winfrey Show” earlier this week, Naomi said “I try to do this 3 times a year. The most I’ve ever done it for is 18 days. So I started on Sunday. This is the sixth day. It’s good just to clean out your body once in a while”.

The Lemon Detox Diet (also called Maple Syrup Diet) consists of organic Madal Bal Maple Syrup, cayenne pepper and lemon juice in cocktail form, which can be drank hot or cold.

Naomi undergoes the Lemon Detox Diet three times a year in a bid to maintain her stunning figure. The supermodel admits she has just Maple Syrup, cayenne pepper and lemon juice in a cocktail form for days on end and credits it with her being able to stay in shape.

It’s not just Naomi Campbell that follows the Lemon Detox Diet

Other celebs reportedly include…

• Beyonce
• Angelina Jolie
• Gwynneth Paltrow
• Madonna
• Mariah Carey
• Natalie Cassidy

We’ve got great deals on the Lemon Detox Diet and the Full Hamper which contains everything you need to follow the detox, delivered next day to your door.

Ever wonder how celebrities manage to shed pounds and look amazing before hitting the red carpet or starring in a new movie?
Celebrity diets range from the complicated to the plain crazy, but we have taken a look at some of the favourite methods of celebrity weight loss.

While some celebrity weight loss is achieved by following extreme diet and fitness regimes for a short period of time, other celebrities are so absorbed by what they put in their mouths that they have been labelled as orthorexic by diet experts. Orthorexia is the condition that sees sufferers become totally obsessed with eating nothing but healthy foods. For example, the Ally McBeal star Portia Di Rossi will not eat any food with sauces. She prefers to stick to steamed chicken and vegetables and egg whites only. Absolutely no dairy products or foods contain any sugar are allowed to pass her lips.

Both Madonna and Gwynneth Paltrow follow a macrobiotic diet. Again, not so much a celebrity diet as much as an entire way of life! This one is for the truly dedicated. This diet dictates that food should not be altered by cooking and should also be chewed 50 times. The food allowed in a macrobiotic diet is vegan, meaning it is centered around whole grains, organic vegetables, beans and pulses. While this is a long term eating regime which helps digestion of food, the downside is a lack of protein and iron.

Both Beyonce Knowles and Natalie Cassidy have followed the Lemon Detox Diet with dramatic results! Beyonce lost an amazing 22lbs in just 10 days to slim down for a film role.

Liz Hurley is a fan of The Hay Diet. The idea behind this popular celebrity diet is that carbs and proteins are processed differently by the body. And so by never eating them together in one meal, your body can digest your food quickly and more efficiently. Meaning nothing hangs around long enough to be stored as fat! While this may take some getting used to and require a lot of meal planning, it could provide a good way of improving your weight. But Liz has also admitted to eating nothing but watercress soup for days at a time when she needs to really see results quickly.

Kirsten Dunst keeps her slim frame by following something called The Acid Base Diet. With this celebrity diet you must eat 70% alkaline foods and 30% acid! Sounds confusing! Basically processed foods, fish, grains and meat all have a high PH level and so you must balance these foods with alkaline foods such as Fruit, vegetables and soya. Again this seems a bit too complicated and is probably nothing more than a basic balanced eating plan when it is broken down.

Claudia Schiffer does not follow a particular diet, but has instead devised a way to balance her diet in a way that works for her. She eats nothing but fruit before noon and has 3 meals a day to keep her metabolism steady and healthy. Those meals though are small and light, for example steamed fish or chicken with vegetables.

This seems like good sense when compared to Reece Witherspoons diet of choice. She likes to restrict herself to jars of baby food when she needs to drop a few pounds. While this would probably not be the most fulfilling diets to follow, but it is actually not as crazy as it sounds as good quality baby food is actually packed with nutrients. But you would be bored to tears in no time!

Another popular celebrity diet, the principles of which are followed by the likes of Sharon Stone, Gwen Stefani and Kylie – is the GI diet. This is a system of ranking foods according to how quickly your body absorbs them. While it may seem quite tricky to get the hang of, having to remember the GI value of different foods, it is actually a healthy, balanced diet to follow.

Another similarly complicated but balanced diet is The Zone. Fans of the zone include Demi Moore and Jennifer Aniston who have both lost weight and maintained their shape by following this high protein diet. 5 small meals should be eaten everyday and each of those meals should be broken down so that 40% of the calories come from carbs, 30% from protein and another 30% from fat.

And finally, Heidi Klum and Black Eyed Peas singer Fergie’s method. They believe that by drinking 2 tablespoons of cider vinegar every day before dinner will suppress appetite, speed up metabolism and breakdown fat. Now that doesn’t seem too complicated!

The celeb has been enjoying showing off her svelte figure in a variety of outfit at New York Fashion Week and told Life and Style magazine that she has overhauled her eating habits.

Kelly said that she has changed the way she eats since appearing on Dancing with the Stars, during which she lost around two stone.

“A trick I’ve learned is to eat just a little bit of something that has no carbs and no sugar in it before you go to sleep … like half an apple or something like that,” Kelly recommended.

The daughter of Ozzy and Sharon explained that this keeps the metabolism going during the night.

This week she has been photographed in a racy black PVC outfit, yellow polka dot dress, a royal blue above-the-knee number and a girly frock in nude pink.

Do you have any quirky diet tips?

The comment was made in jest, having been questioned on the Today show as to how she would prepare for the ceremony, which is to take place on March 7th.

“I do believe some liposuction is in order, a very strict diet regime, and I will acquire a very light English accent,” she said.

The Miss Congeniality star told E! Online earlier this week that she had only just started to look for dresses for the big occasion.

Ever the joker, she told the entertainment news provider that she would wear a bin bag and cover it in rhinestones herself if she had to.

For those who have a big occasion coming up and want to look a little more svelte, the NHS recommends reduce the amount of fat in a meal by trimming the fat off meat, drinking skimmed or semi-skimmed milk instead of full fat and choose a reduced or low-fat spread.

Would you opt for liposuction if you could afford it?

The ex-Atomic Kitten singer and reality-TV regular has dropped to a size ten thanks to the gruelling exercise boot camp.

Mum-of-four Katona told Closer magazine that, despite her weight loss, she has held on to her curves.

“And my boobs, which is good,” she added.

“I’d much rather have a body like Kimberley Walsh than Cheryl Cole. Exercise has transformed me – I’m getting my life back on track,” she explained to the news provider.

She was ditched by supermarket chain Iceland last year, having being the face of their TV advertising campaign for years, when a video showing her snorting what is thought to have been cocaine was leaked.

The I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! 2004 winner has famously yo-yo dieted for years and underwent £15,000 of liposuction in 2008 in an attempt to slim down.

If Kerry Katona asked you for weight loss advice, which diet would you recommend?

As stated in New Magazine, most women do not want to end up looking like their mothers. However, with the discovery of the so called fat gene, you may not have much choice. Even if you’re not carrying the fat gene, you may have picked up bad eating traits from your parents, and as for your body shape – thats inherited, too.

So if your mother is overweight or has a larger than average bottom, then it’s likely you will follow suit. Take the Duchess Of York, Sarah Ferguson and her daughter Princess Beatrice. When the pair went jogging together in Spain recently, it was clear that Beatrice’s pear shaped figure has been inherited from her mum. On the other hand, toned Kate Hudson has been blessed with the athletic shape of her mother Goldie Hawn. And 45 year old Demi Moore’s daughter Rumer Willis has also developed her mum’s slim look. “We are all individual and have different genetic blueprints as well as inherited family traits,” says Lyndel Costain, a registered dietician and healthy writer. “As research progresses, it has become clearer that genetic differences can make people more likely to stay slender, or gain weight than others.” But it’s not just our genes that play a role. “Families usually share the same diet, lifestyle and cultural influences, and these habits persist into later life,” Lyndel adds.

The Fat Gene

Studies have shown that obesity tends to run in families. Children with two obese parents have about 70 percent risk of becoming obese compared to less than 20 percent in children of two slim parents. However, experts believe this can be explained by children’s diets being influenced by that of their parents. Studies have shown that adopted children have weight patterns similar to their natural parents, and scientists have discovered a ‘fat gene’ known as FTO. More than half the population carries a variant of the gene, making them up to 70 percent more likely to become obese. However, Lyndel says, “Even if people carried two copies of the variant gene, they were only 3kg heavier in average, so it is not the cause alone. But it may help to explain why in the environment we live in – where food is abundant and it easy to be inactive – some people find it harder to manage their weight than others,”

Eat like your mother, look like your mother

“Families usually share the same diet, lifestyle and cultural influences,” says Lyndel. “These habits tend to persist later in life. So if you were given sweets as a child when you needed comforting then it’s a safe bet you’re still feasting on them.” And Lyndel says as obesity has increased rapidly over the last 50 years and the gene pool has remains constant, it suggests that environment factors rather than genetics play a bigger role in obesity. A good example of this was shown when style guru’s Trinny Woodall and Susannah Constantine took a DNA test to see whether they had the fat gene. Stick-thin Trinny was shocked to discover she has it while the heavier Susannah does not. Trinny said “I was expected to be told that I don’t have the fat gene, so it was quite a surprise. I am a healthy eater, and feel it makes no difference to how I will maintain my figure from now on.”

Can you change your bodyshape destiny?

If you’re an ‘apple’ who needs to lose weight around your middle, there is some good news. Studies suggest that abdominal fat stores are especially responsive to regular physical activity, which gets your heart rate up like, walking, running, cycling, dancing, gardening and exercise classes,” Lyndel says. A US study among obese, middle aged women found that despite losing the same amount, women who dieted and used the treadmill for 30 minutes or work, three times a week, reduced the size of their abdominal fat cells by 18 percent. Adding in some regular resistance exercise such as weights may enhance the benefits too. Abdominal fat also has been linked smoking, drinking too much alcohol, stress and lack of exercise. Eat a healthy diet, restricting high-fat, processed and sugary foods and having plenty of vegetables, whole grains, fish and lean meat. Madonna’s personal trainer, Tracy Anderson is a firm believer that you can overcome your genes. The 5ft-tall dance guru, whose father is obese, believed she would grow up to be fat, especially when she gained weight in her twenties. But with a lot of hard work she now has an enviable, toned figure and a client list including the queen of pop herself and actress Gwyneth Paltrow.

Body Shapes

Brace yourself for some bad news. “Our basic body shape is inherited and cant be fundamentally be changed,” says Lyndel. “So if you come from a long line of ‘pears’, then losing weight will mean you will become a smaller, trimmer and healthier pear”. A ‘pear’ – where you tend to store fat on your hips, thighs and bottoms – and is considered to be a healthy shape unlike an ‘apple’, who stores excess fat deep below the skin the stomach area, increasing the risk of serious conditions such as heart disease, raised blood pressure, some types of cancer and type 2 diabetes. “When we lose weight, we burn fat stores proporionatley from all over our body,” says Lyndel. “This isn’t very helpful if you just want a smaller bottom”

Scientology is a purification program, known as Clear Body, Clear Mind whose ritual is “Purification Rundown” or “Purif”. The purification program utilises a regime of exercise, saunas and vitamins and minerals to help cleanse the body and is all about the ridding of the body’s harmful toxins, cutting out refined sugar, junk foods and carcinogens that create toxicity.

For best results, five hours of saunas and exercise each day is required. The program is known to be very gruelling and leave you tired and drained as it eats away all body fat. The detoxification process involves long periods of fasting on nothing more than water and juice, heavy doses of niacin, colonics and long heated saunas to purify the body.

Katie Holmes follows a tense workout routine which involves running on the treadmill in a state of the art gym in her shared home with Tom Cruise in Beverley Hills, California. Katie enjoys running around her neighbourhood too, ensuring she keeps herself as low key as possible. Also, she has been seen drinking “Celsuis” which is a drink that contains 10 calories and burns up to 77 calories in a 3-4 hour period. However, it seems like Katie has experienced a side effect of Scientology which is the discoloration of hands. Katie’s hands have reportedly turned purple during this detoxification process which makes her ensure that her hands are well covered up before she even thinks about stepping out in public.

Scientology may seem like it’s a great way to shed a lot of unwanted weight and all you have to worry about is the discoloration of your hands; however there are many serious health risks with it which are:

Ø  Liver Damage.

Ø  Hair Loss.

Ø  Brain Swelling.

Ø  Nausea.

Ø  Fatal heart and Respiratory Failure.

Ø  Peptic Ulcers.

Ø  Skin Rashes.

Although you may only wish to drop a few pounds, you could end up with a much worse condition than body fat using Scientology. So as Katie Holmes body is deteriorating, soon she will have more than her purple hands to worry about!

Just as revealing as what she said, was what she ate. Posh, a self-confessed “control freak”, is known to be extremely picky about what she puts in her body. During the first part of the interview, which took place over lunch at London’s Cipriani restaurant, Victoria ordered a plate of steamed vegetables but complained as they were dressed in something possibly butter, according to the journalist.

During late meetings, Victoria was seen drinking champagne and eating nothing but fruit (satsumas and grapes), fish, steamed vegetables and edamame beans.

She ate no fats and didn’t touch the sandwiches that were laid out for her.

There has been endless speculation regarding Posh’s eating habits, with stories in the past suggesting that she exists on sushi and pineapple, and one even claiming she followed the peppermint-tea diet. The latest insight into her eating habits certainly suggests that Victoria remains on a very similar regime to the strict diet she followed while living in Spain.

“I eat really healthily”, she said. “I love Japanese food, lots of fish, any sort of vegetable, lots of fruit, that kind of thing”.

Iain Marber, co-founder of The Food Doctor has said that a diet of this kind has its advantages and disadvantages. “It is healthy but perhaps not varied enough”, he said. “It’s a very high-protein diet and a very low-calorie diet. There are carbohydrates in the fruit and veg but not enough, and someone on this kind of diet is missing out on complex carbohydrates such as whole grains and wholemeal bread. If you don’t get complex carbohydrates, you’ll be hungry all the time and your energy levels will be low.

The short-term benefit is that you keep the weight down. The downside is that it’s not sustainable in the long term”, Ian added.

But Victoria seems happy with her diet. “I would never put my health at risk”, she said. “Eating disorders are an incredibly serious illness, but you’ve got to be realistic about who are and what you are”.

Posh was also reported to drink Pu-erh Slimming Tea to help maintain her size 0 body.

As for exercise, it’s not high on Posh’s agenda. “Obviously working out is important”, she said. “Well, I don’t. I have joined a gym but I can’t bring myself to start. What do you wear on the running machine? I can’t bring myself to wear flat shoes”.

The Food Doctor’s verdict

Steamed veg

“A plate of steamed veg is the perfect food, but it depends on the combination. For instance, if you live on steamed vegetables all day it wouldn’t be good for you. If you live on steamed vegetables and fish, however, there’s lots of quality to it”.

Fish

“Fish contain omega-3 fats, which are essential good fats. However, unless you’re having, for example, nuts and avocados you won’t be getting omega-6 and omega-9 fats, which you need as well for balance”.

Fruit

“Fruit is obviously good as its part of your five a day. The sugar content isn’t great but some fruits are higher in sugars, for example papaya and pineapple, than others such as apples and pears”.

Edamame beans

“These are young soya beans, which are low in fat and high in protein”.
