In a recent interview, Dancing With the Stars Cheryl Burke revealed some details about her diet.

What’s you diet like?

I try not to eat after 7 p.m. In the morning, I’ll have coffee, and I might have a low-fat, whole wheat muffin.

For lunch, I’ll have a salad. In between, if I’m hungry, I’ll have Myoplex Lite bars. (more…)

Continued from Janet Jackson’s 2007 Diet.

After Janet Jackson works out for half an hour with her trainer, Tony Martinez, she joins him to exercise the dancers in her show. “She has the sergeant in her and says, ‘You aren’t doing your abs correctly!’” her trainer says.

“It’s so funny. She cracks me up!” But since her slim-down last year, the devotion she has to her shape is no laughing matter. “We work out harder now in shorter spans of time,” says Martinez. “She is getting better results this way.” Her is Janet Jackson’s workout routine:

Interval training, in both cardio and resistance work. “She’ll walk on the beach for a minute, then side-shuffle for 30 seconds, then run for a minute,” he says. “Next, we go to a reverse lunge with 3-pound weights for 30 reps, and back to a run again.” (more…)

By now, you probably know that walking has more benefits than a number of times I can bench press 400 pounds in a single set.

But to ensure that you get the most out of your walking program, it’s important to pay attention to your body’s signals to make sure you are not under- or overexerting yourself.

Taking your pulse and using the target heart rate chart is the most accurate way to measure your aerobic intensity. By finding out what your target heart rate is, you ensure that you are working at a safe and effective level for you. (more…)

For Jaslene Gonzalez, the second time was the charm. The Puerto Rico native, 21 – who was cut during the semifinals of America’s Next Top Model in 2006’s cycle seven – took the top prize this year.

In a recent interview, Gonzalez was asked if she has a fitness regime. Her answer was a bit shocking and sounds like a joke, but here is what she said:

“No, not at all. I’m naturally thin, believe it or not. To stay in shape I eat cheeseburgers, cheese fries – that’s my diet.” Sure, people that are naturally thin are not that hard to find, but fries and cheeseburgers as a fitness regime? (more…)

Roadblock It’s too easy to blow off exercise.

Success Strategy Team up with a personal trainer.

How many times do you wake up on Monday morning and say, “I’ll get to the gym tonight, right after work.” But life gets in the way, doesn’t it?

That’s where a personal trainer comes in. You get motivation, inspiration, and accountability. You’ve got an appointment to meet your trainer at 6 p.m., for example. (more…)

Reserve a table for two: Dinner dates can make you thin. In a recent study, researchers at the State University of New York at Buffalo observed that men downed 35 percent fewer calories when eating with their significant others, compared with eating with their buddies.

“People tend to match their own intake to the amount their dining partners eat,” says study author Sarah-Jeanne Salvy, Ph.D. “Women may be more cognizant of how gluttonous they appear to their partners.” (more…)

She has climbed to the pinnacle of the modeling world (in four-inch stilettos). But off-camera, she’s surprisingly down to earth.

Gisele Bundchen recently admitted that she has gained 20 pounds after she stopped smoking, “I just accepted it,” she says. When asked if she was an instant success as a model, here is what she told Allure: (more…)

Continued from Tyra Banks’ Weight Loss: Tyra Banks Lost 30 Pounds.

Tyra Banks can’t attribute her recent weight loss of 30 pounds to just hard work. When she appeared on The View on April 26, Tyra showed Rosie O’Donnell her jiggle-free secret — Spanx!

(Tyra has admitted to wearing Spanx on 80 percent of her own talk show’s episodes).

“I’m trying to get rid of some of this in my booty so I don’t have to wear Spanx,” she said about the girdlelike undergarments. “But I’m not going to obsess.” (more…)

Tyra Banks’s weight loss is quite impassive. In just six months, Banks lost 30 pounds by eating healthy and exercising. What a “novel” approach! Tyra’s current weight is estimated to be around 140 pounds.

Life & Style is reporting that in order to lose weight, the 5-foot-10 Banks has switched her old food habits for better choices like fruits, vegetables and protein, which rev her metabolism and keep hunger at bay.

“It’s more of a lifestyle change than a diet,” says an insider. Tyra starts the day with an energy-packed meal of eggs and papaya slices or a bowl of whole-grain cereal and fruit, says the insider — that’s a far cry from her old IHOP breakfasts.

Another strategy is portion control. For lunch and dinner, she eats a serving of lean protein (chicken, shrimp or fish) with veggies, salads and soups she makes herself. Finally, she snacks on fruits and vegetables that satisfy her sweet tooth and keep her feeling full. (more…)
