    Carmen Electra has done almost everything. She’s an actress, dancer, singer, and TV host. Not to mention, sex symbol and former Playboy Playmate, so she’s used to having a sexy and attractive physique. However, Carmen is still a human, and as such still has to be disciplined and work to maintain her figure. So how does she do it?

    Carmen Electra’s weight loss secrets started with a diet plan that set her mind and taste buds on the right track. Like most people, she tried more than one diet plan, one of which was a Mediterranean weight loss diet plan that has become quite popular. As the name suggests, it is mainly based on recipes from Mediterranean countries such as Italy and Greece. Most of these recipes make use of eating fish on a regular basis, as well as fruits and vegetables, and using only healthy oils such as olive oil and canola oil.

    She has since changed from the Mediterranean diet to the Macrobiotic diet plan. Carmen Electra finds that this diet plan, which requires fresher ingredients and more traditional methods of cooking rather than using processed foods cooked quickly, is much more steady and effective for her. Like the Mediterranean plan, the Carmen Electra’s Macrobiotic weight loss diet plan consists of a mix of cooked and raw vegetables (30-40%), whole grains (25-30%), naturally processed ingredients (5-10%), beans (5-10%) and soups, such as miso soup (5%)

    But she’s not placing her figure solely on a diet. She knows that diets need exercise as well, and Carmen Electra’s fitness program is, like her diet, something she enjoys doing. She uses dancing to get her cardio done, not just because she loves dancing, but because dancing involves the movement of many muscle groups at once, giving a total body workout that is both fun and effective. She also does strength training at least thrice a week to build lean muscle and increase the rate of fat burning.

    It is this combination of proper diet, proper exercise, and proper mindset that has given Carmen Electra the sexy body she is well known for.

    R&B superstar and former Destiny’s Child member Kelly Rowland was recently spotted on the beach with a hot rockin’ body that is proof of her discipline in weight loss and keeping fit. But when asked what she has done, she simply stated that she didn’t even try to lose weight, and just ended up cutting the sugar from her diet.

    She said she read a book from author Gillian McKeith, titled “You Are What You Eat”, which promises a “slimmer, healthier, and happier you”, to help her with her weight loss routine.

    The book educates readers about the benefits that can be attained just by simply adjusting the diet, which includes preventing 1/3 of possible cancers, decreasing the tendency to have depression and mood swings, increasing the immune system to protect one’s self from colds, flu, and other sicknesses.

    It also contains tips on what to reduce, cut out, and avoid. These include coffee, red meats, dairy goods, foods that have been fried, alcohol, and sugar. It is these tips that Kelly Rowland has followed, although she admits that for the most part, it’s only the sugar that she has cut out completely. And after just a few months, she has lost 10 pounds just from removing sugar from her diet.

    Although, it is safe to assume that she is also living a more active lifestyle than most average people. Being part of Destiny’s Child, who is known equally for their dancing and singing, required Kelly to be very fit in order to execute the intricate dance moves of their songs. And because she is now a R&B star in her own right, dancing is probably still in her list of very frequent activities.

    Nevertheless, Kelly Rowland’s weight loss routine is something that can be followed by anyone, simply by starting with reducing sugar in the diet.

    Comedians can’t look funny all the time, and when Chelsea Handler’s friends and family made a comment that she looked bigger on TV than she really was, she came to the realization that she had to cut down on some of her favorite foods, and focus on getting her health and fitness back on track.

    She’s doing this by committing to a fitness program, and sticking to a strict regiment of nutritious but still delicious food, as per recommended by her nutritionist. What’s amazing about this celebrity weight loss plan, is that Chelsea Handler was just like any normal woman, who loves eating mac and cheese and the occasional bag of potato chips, and her road to weight loss is something that is reachable by the average person.

    Her fitness regiment is composed of Pilates exercises, which she finds gentle, yet effective, and best of all, not boring. This in addition to running and other cardio-vascular exercises, make her work out diverse, exciting, and prevents her from getting burned out. Pilates, she says, is much more fit for her mind and body, because yoga took too long with little results, and the regular gym exercises bored her long enough that she lost interest.

    She combines this with her diet that is light, fibrous, high protein, low calorie, yet still delicious and nutritious. A typical day for Chelsea Handler consists of a breakfast of oatmeal with ground flax seeds, a midmorning snack of turkey salad, a light sushi for lunch, and a turkey meat loaf and green salad for dinner.

    She admits to having to exert effort in maintaining the discipline required for this regiment, but shares that once she got used to her weight loss and diet plan, it became easier and easier to do. In fact, it even reached a point that she realized that she didn’t want to go back to some of her fatty foods.
