Are you kidding me? Kelly Clarkson is fat now? Well, Star is reporting that the 5′4″, 150-pound Clarkson is desperate to lose 25 pounds before her summer tour kicks off in mid-July and before the release of her eagerly anticipated album, My December.

“She’s feeling really down on herself,” a source close to Kelly says. “She feels pressure from her label, her handlers and her friends to lose weight.

She’s always moaning about how she can’t find a boyfriend, and she blames this dry spell on her weight.”

The source notes that Kelly might feel better about herself if she tackled her body the way she approaches her career: with consistent hard work. “Kelly is the ultimate yo-yo dieter,” says the insider, who adds that crash diets have never worked for the singer. (more…)

True of false: Creatine causes weight gain and interferes with weight loss.

We’re not sure how this myth got started, but a number of people seem to think that when they start a diet, they have to stop taking creatine in order to get lean.

Maybe it’s the notion that a mass builder like creatine will prevent “weight” loss, since mass gaining and fat loss typically are considered two opposite goals.

It could also be due to some reports that creatine can cause more water retention under the skin, giving a smoother appearance that can be mistaken for higher bodyfat. (more…)

You have probably heard about the Shettles method, which claims an astonishing success rate of 75 percent, but is it possible to increase your chances of conceiving a boy by making certain changes to your diet?

Some people believe that your diet plays an important role in determining your baby’s gender. Want to conceive a boy?

Eat lots of red meat, walnuts and have the man drink espresso – or so they say. Of course, “eat this to have a boy� “eat that to have a girl� theories are mostly unscientific.

However, there are some things you can do to increase your chances of conceiving a baby. For example, did you know that Jacuzzis have chilling effect on conception? (more…)

I do not know what the big deal is, but many of you have asked about Jackie Warner’s protein shake recipe. I did some digging and after I have found it, I realized that she stole my recipe.

Okay that was a joke; she did not steal my protein shake recipe. The recipe, however, is very close to the one I have been using for years.

The only difference is that I use actual flaxseeds (because they contain fiber) instead of flaxseed oil and I do not add amino supplements or green powder, and I add natural peanut butter to my shake. (more…)

The Hills‘ lovebirds Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt enjoyed a romantic afternoon playing carnival games and fishing at the Santa Monica Pier in LA. “We’re fun,” Heidi says. (more…)

Continued from Is Kelly Clarkson Fat?

At a NASCAR event, she looked heavier, and friends tell Star that Kelly Clarkson’s weight gain is the result of a fast-food-laden diet.

“And forget about exercise — she hates working out. Kelly wants to get down to 125 pounds before her tour starts, but that’s not going to happen when she’s eating croissants for breakfast, burgers for lunch and fried chicken for dinner!

“I’ve never seen Kelly as down as she is now. She was ecstatic last summer when she was 125 pounds, but she did that by practically starving herself. [...],” says a source close to Clarkson. (more…)

The Hills‘ Heidi Montag looks better than ever with a new nose and body — and now, she’s considering showing it all off!

According to her boyfriend and manager, Spencer Pratt, Heidi has been offered seven figures to shed her clothes for Playboy magazine and says she’s seriously considering the offer.

“Playboy is interested in shooting Heidi’s new body,” says Spencer. “They’ve offered her $1 million to be in their magazine.”

As you probably already know, Heidi Montag had plastic surgery on April 2, which included a boob job to boost her chest to a C cup. She also had a rhinoplasty surgery to repair a deviated septum as well as sculpt her nose. (more…)

Sure, a lot has been written about how to lose weight fast. In fact, I have been receiving a steady stream of questions about this very subject matter. One of our readers, for example, wanted to know how to lose 10 pounds in 3 days, that is pretty damn fast.

Although there is nothing wrong with wanting to know how to lose weight fast, I do not actually recommend doing so.

Do not get me wrong, certain individuals (read trained athletes) can safely use accelerated weight-loss methods, but they know what they are doing and it is usually done under medical supervision.

Okay, truth be told, some take things too far and do something stupid, i.e., use clenbuterol or some other substance that sooner or later gets them in trouble. (more…)
