And the results of her regime speak for themselves in the super-fit physiques of clients <b>Gwyneth Paltrow</b> and <b>Madonna</b>, not to mention her own transformation (the 5-foot mom dropped from 140 to 95 pounds). </p> <p>“My formula works on everyone as long as they’re consistent,” says the trainer, who has a studio in L.A. She developed her signature strategy, to shape any body into a “teeny-tiny dancer type,” after testing 100 women for five years independently (because “the government isn’t going to fund seeing if you can get a Victoria’s Secret butt out of any woman!”).</p> <p>The key, she says, is to constantly change the routine. Her students log six two-hour sessions weekly, dancing and hitting the Hybrid Body Reformer (a pulley-system machine available only in her studio, but not necessary to this plan). Promises Anderson, “You’ll keep the weight off!” </p> <p><b>The Diet</b><br /> This short-term diet “ensures you lose between 3 and 5 pounds a week,” says Anderson. The diet bans processed food, dairy and all spices (“They’re bloating and upset your digestive system, which causes you to store fat”), oil and sauces (“They’re just added calories”), discourages drinking alcohol or caffeine (sip 1.5 to 3 liters of water daily instead) and prescribes one serving of whole-grain carbs a day. Once you’re at your target weight, adopt a healthy but less restrictive diet.</p> <p>Below are three weeks’ worth of menus. You can follow as is, or mix and match complete days’ menus to your liking. </p> <p><b>WEEK ONE</b><br /> <i>Sunday</i><br /> <b>Breakfast</b><br /> 1 cup Kashi cereal, with ½ cup plain — or vanilla —

Anderson explains, “It’ll get you to your tiniest, tightest point without overdeveloping muscles.” Get video footage of the workout at <a href="http://www.tracyandersonmethod.com/index.swf" target="_blank">tracyandersonmethod.com</a>.</p> <p><b>WEEK 1</b><br /> Make a 20-minute iPod playlist and do a different cardio activity (treadmill sprints, jumping rope, running on a trampoline) for each song. Switching activities will keep any one group of muscles from bulking up. “You should be dripping sweat and taking very few breaks,” she advises. </p> <p><i>Get crunching! Do these three moves on a mat:</i><br /> 1. Lie flat on back, legs straight, then bend legs and pull to chest, feeling exertion in abs (50 reps).<br /> 2. With legs at 90-degree angle, do 50 crunches.<br /> 3. Lie with legs straight, feet apart. As you slightly lift one foot, crunch straight up and down; return foot to floor and lift the other while crunching. Do 60 times, each side. </p> <p><i>Tone Do 100 reps each, or 200 for moves that alternate sides:</i><br /> 1. With feet shoulder-width apart, hold arms out in a T and rotate palms from -facing floor to ceiling.<br /> 2. In same stance, bend one wrist and pull across body, arm straight, in a smacking motion across your body. Alternate arms.<br /> 3. Then, with arms straight behind you, palms to-gether, snap your wrists from side to side.<br /> 4. Hold a 3-pound weight above your head with elbow bent at a 90-degree angle. Then lift weight straight over head. Do all reps on one side, then switch arms.<br /> 5. With weight in hand, hold one arm out in a T, bend at elbow to cover eyes, then straighten, keeping arm lifted. Do all reps on one arm; switch.<br /> 6. Do grand pliés: Stand with feet -shoulder-width apart, toes pointing out. With hands on hips and back straight, slowly bend knees until thighs are parallel to floor. </p> <p><b>WEEKS 2–6</b><br /> Increase cardio 10 minutes each week, so by week six, you’re up to 60 minutes daily, plus toning exercises. </p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-text field-field-us-exclusive"> <h3 class="field-label">Is this an Us Exclusive, Breaking News, or just regular Top Story?</h3> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item"></div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-number-integer field-field-include-poll"> <h3 class="field-label">Include Poll</h3> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item"></div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-number-integer field-field-pop-up-poll"> <h3 class="field-label">Pop Up Poll</h3> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item"></div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-image field-field-us-blog-image-preview"> <h3 class="field-label">Blog Photo 155x103</h3> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item"><img src="http://www.usmagazine.com/files/madonna-gwyneth-paltrow-gym-p.jpg" alt="Madonna and Gwyneth Paltrow" title="" width="155" height="103" /></div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-image field-field-breaking-news-image"> <h3 class="field-label">News Main Photo 155x175</h3> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item"><img src="http://www.usmagazine.com/files/madonna-gwyneth-paltrow-gym-n.jpg" alt="Madonna and Gwyneth Paltrow" title="" width="155" height="175" /></div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-image field-field-us-blog-image"> <h3 class="field-label">Story Photo 290 x TK</h3> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item"></div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-text field-field-us-blog-image-caption"> <h3 class="field-label">Us Blog Photo Caption</h3> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item">April 16, 2008</div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-text field-field-us-blog-photo-credit"> <h3 class="field-label">Us Blog Photo Credit</h3> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item">Splash News</div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-number-integer field-field-related-posts"> <h3 class="field-label">Related Posts</h3> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item">0</div> </div> </div> http://www.usmagazine.com/madonna-and-gwyn-diet-tips#comments Gwyneth Paltrow Madonna Weight Loss Thu, 01 May 2008 08:32:43 -0400 Mandi Illuzzi 17209 at http://www.usmagazine.com http://www.usmagazine.com/angelina_jolie_opens_up_about_her_weight_loss <div class="field field-type-text field-field-celebrity-news-dek"> <h3 class="field-label">Celebrity News Dek</h3> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item"></div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-text field-field-body"> <h3 class="field-label">Body</h3> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item"><p><b>Angelina Jolie</b> is finally speaking out about her significant weight loss over the last several months. </p> <p>At the NYC premiere of A Mighty Heart Wednesday night, Jolie, 32, <a href="http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/showbiz/article-23400649-details/Has+exercise+gone+to+Angelina%27s+head/article.do"target="_blank">told</a> reporters that the reason she’s been shedding pounds is because she’s been grieving over the death of her mother, Marcheline Bertrand, who died of ovarian cancer in January. </p> <p>"I've always been lean and this year I lost my mom and I've gone through a lot,” said the actress, who is currently in New York with boyfriend <b>Brad Pitt</b>, 43, and their children, Maddox, 5, Pax, 3, Zahara, 2, and one-year-old Shiloh. </p> <p>"I have four kids and I finished breastfeeding – it's been hard to get my nutrition back on track."</p> <p>Jolie sparked concern among fans earlier this year when her already thin frame grew even smaller and the veins on her arms started protruding.

A little coaxing and a lot of bravery! <b>Us Weekly</b>'s fashion director Sasha Charnin Morrison takes us inside the photo shoot in L.A. last weekend.</p> <p>"I was lucky enough to have known Ricki since we were kids, as we used to perform and sing together, so it like seeing an old friend," Morrison tells <b>Usmagazine.com</b>. </p> <p>"When we saw her, all jaws dropped. I had been told she was a size 4 to 6 (which usually means a 6 because no one really knows their sizes and you always go for a lie and a smaller number.) She was a hell of a lot smaller, more angular and extremely sexy."</p> <p>Morrison knew immediately that Lake needed to flaunt her new figure in a swimsuit, but the former talk show host and <i>Hairspray</i> star was hesitant.</p> <p>"I didn't want to get into it at first and was so scared but Sasha was amazing," says Lake. </p> <p>They finally settled on a red skirted swimsuit by Norma Kamali that was both streamlined and chic.</p> <p>"She looked like a Vargas pinup girl," says Morrison. "When we did our unveiling of the swimsuit for her publicist and her friends, they were all screaming, almost crying. This was going to show how hard she worked and that she deserved to reveal the fact that she's sexy and fierce!"</p> <p>Lake, 38, never looked in the mirror once, but got right on the set and "modeled the hell out of it," according to our fashion director. "Everything changed for her...her posture straightened, her body elongated, she looked absolutely stunning."</p> <p>Morrison added: "I think she felt supremely sexy for this time in a long time. It was a joy and a pleasure to watch."</p> <p>Now that the cover is out on newsstands, what does Lake think of the final product?</p> <p>"I f--king love the cover! It’s amazing!” she tells <b>Usmagazine.com</b>. “So many people from my past have come forward telling me how great I looked, and it has been an overwhelming response.

(Bosworth and Orlando Bloom, 30, split in September.) "Kate is human. We all go through tough times." </p> <p>Now? The actress' new regimen includes strength-building activities like hiking. </p> <p>"She's leading a happier, healthier lifestyle" with model beau <b>James Rousseau</b>, 26, says the pal. </p> <p>Indeed, as Edward Abramson, author of <i>Emotional Eating</i>, tells <b>Us</b>, "Having a new relationship may have lifted her mood and restored her appetite." </p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-text field-field-us-exclusive"> <h3 class="field-label">Is this an Us Exclusive, Breaking News, or just regular Top Story?</h3> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item"></div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-number-integer field-field-include-poll"> <h3 class="field-label">Include Poll</h3> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item">0</div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-number-integer field-field-pop-up-poll"> <h3 class="field-label">Pop Up Poll</h3> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item"></div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-image field-field-us-blog-image-preview"> <h3 class="field-label">Blog Photo 155x103</h3> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item"><img src="http://www.usmagazine.com/files/kate_prev_2.jpg" alt="" title="" width="76" height="94" /></div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-image field-field-breaking-news-image"> <h3 class="field-label">News Main Photo 155x175</h3> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item"><img src="http://www.usmagazine.com/files/kate_news_5.jpg" alt="" title="" width="174" height="236" /></div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-image field-field-us-blog-image"> <h3 class="field-label">Story Photo 290 x TK</h3> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item"><img src="http://www.usmagazine.com/files/kate_blog_6.jpg" alt="" title="" width="290" height="400" /></div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-text field-field-us-blog-image-caption"> <h3 class="field-label">Us Blog Photo Caption</h3> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item">Before: September 11, 2006 After: May 23, 2007</div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-text field-field-us-blog-photo-credit"> <h3 class="field-label">Us Blog Photo Credit</h3> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item">Jean Catuffe/INFGoff.com; Janet Mayer/Splash News</div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-number-integer field-field-related-posts"> <h3 class="field-label">Related Posts</h3> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item">0</div> </div> </div> http://www.usmagazine.com/how_kate_got_her_body_back#comments Kate Bosworth Thin Weight Loss Wed, 02 May 2007 07:27:26 -0400 Noelle Hancock 8758 at http://www.usmagazine.com
