Gwyneth Paltrow likes to eat lots of vegetables, brown rice and fish. All organic if possible. She has given an easy fish recipe to Oprah which I'd like to try cooking soon. 
Apparently Angelina Jolie, 31, only gained twenty five pounds during her first pregnancy. She doesn't have much weight to lose to get back in shape. 
Update: August 2006. Here's a photo of Jolie on Maddox's 5th birthday. She looks like she's lost all the post baby weight already.

She takes garlic tablets, flaxseed oil and salmon oil and has oatmeal and apples for breakfast. She also meditates about 10 minutes a day. Her name is Gwynne Walker and she is 57 years old.

Ronaldo, the international soccer star from Brazil, and one of the best all-time soccer players ever, is being called flabby and overweight in the media these days. His performance in the current World Cup has not been impressive so far.
Oprah is planning a special show for this Monday. It will be all about weight loss and will feature two success stories. One is a man who lost 500 pounds without surgery. The other is a woman who lost 85 pounds and will show off her new slim body in a bikini. I'm guessing that the surprise female guest might be Kirstie Alley? I'll update on the show here later next week.
Who is the sexiest World Cup player? Someone was telling me their version of the answer the other day. I don't follow the game but it seems everyone is talking about soccer these days. Especially my husband.Soccer is a glycogen-dependent sport, making carbohydrate feedings repletion of critical importance. Therefore, the ability to sustain late-game running speed and goal-scoring and to avoid injuries are dependent on glycogen levels. Adequate dietary carbohydrate in the days and hours before strenuous training and competition is critical to maintaining adequate glycogen levels in the muscles. Similar to the detrimental effect of inadequate carbohydrate intake, even slight dehydration can be detrimental to impair performance in soccer, and sports drinks containing moderate amounts of carbohydrate and electrolytes, especially sodium, are better than plain water in maintaining hydration during soccer play and in rehydrating during recovery. Soccer players typically do not eat enough carbohydrate and begin soccer matches with less than optimal stores of muscle glycogen. Moreover, they usually do not drink enough fluids during practice and competition to adequately replace their sweat losses. Coaches and athletic trainers must continually reinforce the need for dietary carbohydrate and fluid replenishment, ensure that fluids are available on the sidelines, and, when possible, supervise the eating and drinking behavior of the players. All levels of play can benefit by following sound nutritional guidelines.

I've been focusing on writing celebrity weight loss stories for the past few weeks.
Ralph Klein, 63, decided to do something to lose some weight and get back in shape. This was twenty years ago. At the age of 43, the 5'8" politician weighed somewhere between 230 and 240 pounds. He says he was 'grossly overweight' at the time. 
Those magazine covers in the check-out counter of your local grocery store are terribly misleading. It's amazing how much retouching goes on to make beautiful people look even more unrealistically beautiful.
Anna Nicole Smith, 38, has announced that she's pregnant.
