What Diet during pregnency?

Since it’s not how much but what you eat that makes the difference, here’s how the Healthy Pregnancy Diet can help:
  • You only need about 300 extra calories a day during the second and third trimesters (and don’t worry too much about extra calories during the first trimester — especially if you feel nauseous frequently). This diet includes meal and snack selections that will keep you eating enough calories for you and baby.
  • It’s important to get enough vitamins, minerals, folic acid and fiber in your diet when you’re pregnant. This meal plan includes foods that will help you meet your nutritional requirements (be sure to also take a daily prenatal multivitamin that contains 100 percent of the RDA for most nutrients, 400 micrograms of folic acid and 30 mg of iron).
  • Protein provides materials for the growing tissues (including the placenta, the mother’s blood and the baby). This diet includes at least three servings of protein a day, in a variety of foods like tofu, beans, chicken, fish and meat.
  • Calcium is needed (especially in the last three months of pregnancy) for proper bone formation in the baby, as well as to help preserve strength in the mother’s bones. This meal plan includes at least four servings of dairy products a day, mainly through milk, cheese and yogurt.

Meet ivan Pudge Rodriguez know about his diet

Ivan’s Offensive Winning Percentage, after after MLB came up with a PED policy that included suspensions: .428 (in 1,948 PA) from 2005 to today (at which time Rodriguez reportedly weighs 187 pounds).

Interesting, huh? Pudge Rodriguez was a “losing” hitter, in terms of his Offensive Winning Percentage, before he met Canseco. After Jose Canseco supposedly showed him how to use PEDs, Pudge Rodriguez became a “winning” hitter. And, once MLB had a PED policy with teeth, Pudge Rodriguez became a “losing” hitter again. So, draw your own conclusions from all of this…

But, all of that is in the past, right? This season, to date, Ivan Rodriguez has an Offensive Winning Percentage of .463 (in 328 PA). Yes, that’s still a loser. But, it’s a lot better than the Offensive Winning Percentage of .230 - yes, two-thirty - that Jose Molina has fashioned for the Yankees so far this year. And, that’s why the Yankees are happy to replace Molina with Rodriguez - not because Pudge is a good hitter…more so, because, Molina is a terrible hitter.

How about defense? We know that Jose Molina is a very good defensive catcher. How about Pudge? Is it all rep, or, is he really that good behind the dish?

Healthless Tori Spelling is Buxom and Braless

Tori Spelling seems to have left her bra at home when she and hubby Dean McDermott shopped in Beverly Hills yesterday. The revealing photos leave nothing to the imagination and will likely not be among the actresses favorite candid shots.

The lightweight floral print dress that the actress was wearing did little to provide the support a new mother might be looking for when out in public. Spelling gave birth to her baby daughter Stella just 3 weeks ago. The couple also have a year old son Liam.

Kirstie Alley Weight Loss

The Jenny Craig program doesn't come cheap. It's virtually impossible to determine the exact costs of Jenny Craig as they are not listed, and are calculated on an individual basis. The cheapest membership deals come in at $6 per week plus the cost of food (estimated at $100 per week). That means that if you and I were following Kirstie Alley's routine - the costs would be (52 weeks x $106 per week) up to $5512. That's a lot of money considering it's all processed microwave food.

Motivator or Aggravator?
Reading too many magazine weight loss stories can make you grind your teeth with jealousy - or fuel your self-motivation. We're so used to dramatic rapid transformations (particularly with "extreme makeover" stories) - that we've come to believe it's instantaneous. Transforming your physical self with diet and exercise is not an instant event - it is a long long painstaking commitment that is measured in years rather than days.

Kirstie Alley has demonstrated that change is possible, and it does take time. Kudos to her for that.

Christina Aguilera Vagina Spa

Dr. Lauri Romanzi, a gynecologist who performs pelvic reconstruction surgery, said she came up with the idea for the spa one day while walking by an outlet of BriteSmile, the tooth-whitening chain. She liked that the stores cater to people with healthy teeth.

The spa is essentially a gussied-up examination room down the hall from Dr. Romanzi's medical practice. At the spa, the signature treatment will be a $150 gynecological exam -- in which a client contracts her pelvic muscles around Dr. Romanzi's fingers -- to determine by feel whether muscle tone is weak, moderate or strong.

Steam bath spa

One affordable way to achieve the ultimate personal spa is installing a steam bath. Though steam baths have been in existence for centuries, never before have private versions of these ancient baths been so attainable.
Steaming Things UpEasily installed during new home construction or remodeling, steam baths are available for almost any sized space. Steamist®, a leading manufacturer of steam baths and saunas, offers generators with a slim design that can be mounted in a vanity cabinet, closet, basement or insulated attic. Steamist's residential generators, which can accommodate steam baths from 60 to 1,100 cubic feet, also save homeowners money by conserving water and electricity.
In addition to providing a relaxing retreat from the stresses of everyday life, steam baths offer many health benefits. Steam bathing purifies and detoxifies the skin and body, increases circulation, stimulates the immune system and encourages complete physical and mental well-being. The heat also helps to relax muscles and relieve pain and inflammation, which is often beneficial to those with arthritis. Also, many doctors recommend steam bathing for patients who suffer from allergies and asthma as the heat dilates air passageways and facilitates breathing.

Low-fat diet debunked

A 10-year study of women finds no significant benefits to prevent disease
U.S. dietary guidelines recommend total fat intake between 20 percent and 35 percent of calories for adults, with saturated fats less than 10 percent of calories and most fats provided by polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats, such as nuts, fish and vegetable oils.

Both groups started at 35 percent to 38 percent of calories from fat and the low fat group ate more vegetables, fruits and grains.

The average total fat intake for the diet group was reduced to 24 percent of calories by the end of the first year but did not meet the goal of 20 percent. By the sixth year, the low-fat diet group was consuming 29 percent of calories from fat.

The non-dieting group averaged 35 percent of calories from fat in the first year and 37 percent at the sixth year.

The Best and Worst Celebrity Diets of 2007

This year’s crop of celebrity diets proves the adage “you are what you eat.” Diets full of fruits and veggies have helped trim down Hollywood’s biggest “losers.” This “best” list of celebs also shows that you don’t have to knock yourself out at the gym to get fabulous. This year it’s all about healthy lifestyle activities with Ricki Lake, Andrea Baptiste and Lenny Clarke getting active by walking, hiking and biking.

Brittany Spears, Beyonce and Ashanti top the worst list by resorting to quick fix weight loss schemes. Diet pills and fasting “detox” diets only give dieters false hope, resulting in rebounding weight and yo-yo dieting. Under the body-conscious spotlight of the media, this list proves that eating well and creating a healthy lifestyle are the best revenge.

Marie Osmond has been dancing off the pounds as a contestant on the hit ABC show Dancing with the Stars. At age 48 and the mother of eight children she is dancing up a storm with six hour practices! She revealed that she joined the show not so much to develop her dancing skills but to diet and lose weight. So far she’s peeled 3 inches off her waist. She’s taking the show all in stride and she isn’t worried about being voted off.. she quips that “25 million viewers will vote and 22 million are Osmonds!”

Lily Allen: Hypnosis and Weight Loss

Pop singer, Lily Allen slimmed downed from a size 12 to size eight with the help of $600 dollar hypnosis sessions with hypnotist, Susan Hepburn. Says Lily,

Rocco DiSpirito: weight loss on Atkins!

As many of you know, much of the initial weight loss on Atkins is water loss because as you go into ketosis you deplete glycogen stores which hold on to water. After that, Atkins does result in “real” weight loss. Personally I believe Atkins is easier to follow than most diets, because in our overly processed world it’s easy to “throw out the bun and eat the burger.” Or in Rocco’s case throw out the pasta. Finding veggie and fruit options at fast food restaurants for instance, is a lot harder proposition. By cutting out the carbs (refined carbs) you are essentially cutting out some of the most calorie dense foods (cakes, breads, cookies etc) in the American diet. So what a lot of people don’t realize is that on an Atkins diet you are essentially cutting back on calories. The problem with Atkins is that although it may be easier to follow, it’s too high in animal protein which causes cancer, heart disease, and osteoporosis. Interestingly, although many people report some initial success with the diet, only 1% of people who have on average lost 70 lbs and kept it off for 6 years report using an Atkins style diet.

Tyra Banks Fat no more


She went on a public relations blitz, appearing on the cover of People magazine and devoting a whole episode to the great “weight debate” on her Tyra Banks show. As these new photos reveal she is back in super-model form. How did she do it?

Discussing her weight gain on Extra in January, she admitted to enjoying an “IHOP breakfast, a burger or pizza for lunch and steak and some sort of sweet come dinnertime.” In the latest issue of In Touch weekly she reflects “I needed to take better care of myself.” Tyra’s diet and exercise plan for losing an estimated 30 lbs in five months and getting back in shape included.

Cameron Diaz Diet Tips

Since her much publicized breakup with Justin Timberlake, Cameron Diaz is back on the market and looking better than ever as you can see from these promo pics for her recent film Shrek 3. According to a source at In Touch weekly the starlet “got a little out of shape toward the end of her days with Justin, but now her body is in the best condition it’s ever been in.” What’s her secret for staying in great shape?

Beyonce Knowles uses the Lemonade Diet


She reportedly told China Daily, “Back in the sixties, models like Twiggy were popular and I knew Deena would have been thin then, so even though I really love eating, it was necessary to lose weight really fast because we shot Deena at 16 and Deena at 36 two weeks apart.”

The Master Cleanser, also known as the “Master Cleanse diet”, “lemonade diet”, “lemonade fast”, “Master Cleanser lemonade fast” and the “maple syrup diet”, was popularized by Stanley Burroughs as a way to cleanse, detox and lose weight. Far from being a “detox diet” the master cleanser actually causes a build up of toxins. Please see the dangers of the Master Cleanser.

According to Beyonce, “My nutritionist suggested the only way to do that was the (lemonade diet) fast.” “I would never recommend it to anyone unless you are doing a movie and it’s necessary, and you have proper help. There are ways to lose weight healthily if you want to lose weight, but this was for a film.” Not surprisingly, she states she ” was cranky” on the diet, while those around her, on the set, scarfed down Krispy Kremes.

Lauren does 1 hour sessions of weight training and treadmill work twice a week. She incorporates 45 minute hiking sessions in LA’s Runyon Canyon when she’s not working out.

About her slim down Lauren says “The first place I lost weight was my little belly. Now I’m happy about my arms because they were a little mushy!” She adds “When I work out regularly and eat healthy, I feel better.”

Celebrity Diet Doctor weigh in
Eating small meals throughout the day helps keep her metabolism up. Her exercise regimen is not only sensible but realistic. Many celebs endure “Navy Seal” type regimens when preparing for movies to get their bodies in top form. Lauren manages to do the same with only 2 weekly strength training sessions. It works for her because she is physically active hiking on her off days. Lauren shows you can tone up by exercising smartly without spending all your time in the gym.

She works with her trainer on strength training and runs the treadmill three times a week. Rihanna has replaced skipping meals with frequent small meals and snacks every 4 hours. She’ll have pineapple and lemon water for breakfast, soup for lunch, snack of egg whites, and chicken for dinner. Her hard work is obviously paying off. Recently she dropped a size and looks fabulous!

Jenny McCarthy and Weight Watchers


Weight Watchers is essentially a calorie counting plan based on their proprietary points system. Like any standard calorie counting plan, you can basically eat anything as long as you stay within your alloted daily points. While Weight Watcher points are calculated from calories, fat and fiber ( the higher the calories and fat the more points, the higher the fiber the less points), the biggest factor in determining a points value for a food is far and away calories.

Jenny McCarthy’s Diet Plan
According to US weekly, a sample menu from her daily diet is: Watermelon for breakfast, Tuna salad for lunch and a 3 ounce steak for dinner.
