Celebrity Diet & Slimming Tips For The New Year
Oh boy, here we go again… there is a “Jessica Simpson Weight Loss” story on the cover of the latest In Touch Weekly! The article talks about how she has lost weight for her new man and now weighs 112 pounds.
I hate to say it, but the photo inside the article (not on the cover) suggests that she has actually gained weight recently. Besides, she doesn’t look to be at 112.
To stay/get slim, Jessica claims to eat 1800 calories per day, drink a lot of water and work out most mornings.
Other celebrities like Lauren Conrad, Carrie Underwood and Naomi Watts have tips and suggestions in the article as well. Tips like “eat clean and organic”, “have gourmet meals delivered”, “do pilates”, and more can be found in the scanned article here.

Who in their right mind would take diet advice from Jessica Simpson - yoyo diet queen?? I’d rather take safe s.e.x advice from Paris Hilton.

I just love when they guess celebrity weight. Then I can compare myself and feel really, really, bad

I’m surprised that Jessica Simpson only weighs 112 pounds. It does say she’ s only 5′3″ (I also had no idea she was that short!) but she still looks heavier than that to me.
I think Ricki Lake probably has some VERY serious mental issues.
And that dog, the “hiking buddy”? He can probably walk a mile or so. I guess after that it is an arm workout too because she’d have to carry him. For a real exercise buddy, get a coonhound. You can’t tire them out!

you really cant believe these tabloid stories. another one used the pic of jessica on the cover to say she gained weight. and just this past week, Us reported LC was 5′6 and 119 pounds. and another used a longer version of carries “i write down everything i eat” quote to suggest she has an obssesion with her weight

There’s no way JS is 112 pounds. I’m 5′4 and 123 and I’m thinner than her.
By BBGIRL on Jan 7, 2008 | Reply
112 lbs @ 5′3 is a BMI of 19.8
Looks about right to me… she looks healthy but not underweight in the picture on the cover.
I had no idea she was that short. She looks taller!
I call BS on the 1800 cals a day though. That’s not dieting.

NO WAY does Jessica Simpson weigh 112 pounds. well… I guess fat DOES weigh less than muscle….so maybe she’s just all fat. She doesn’t look toned at all. I’ sorry but I don’t like her at all. She has to be more than 110.. especially if the article “estimates” carrie underwood is 115!!!

Oh wow, I just saw the pictures of the scans and I change my mind.
NO WAY that Jessica Simpson is 112 based on the picture on the picture on the inside. She looks like at least 120 lbs.
By Beth on Jan 7, 2008 | Reply
I think the bigger part of the picture is why in the heck did she “lose weight for her new man”? That’s ridiculous. If you have to lose weight for anyone, it should be YOURSELF.

Uh… yeah… I’m going to take diet tips from Jessica Simpson, the famous yo-yo dieter who only exercises when she has to get ready for a film. What a joke. Of course, taking diet advice from any celebrity is a farce, because they have all the time and money in the world to work out. Right, like it’s difficult to stay slender and in shape when you only work three months a year!

How can Jessica Simpson possibly weigh less than Carrie Underwood if theyre the same height! Just compare the pics of them in that article and it’s quite obvious that there’s at least a 10lb difference with carrie looking way slimmer.
They should at least try to write a coherent article!
By tiffany on Jan 7, 2008 | Reply
Jess is definitely NOT 112. I’m 5′0 so I know what weight looks like on petite women. You can’t ever trust celebrity weight posts because they’re always off and most of the time just plain made up. Too bad, since I’d really like to know the real measurements of some actresses.
By victoria on Jan 7, 2008 | Reply
not gonna lie i was excited to read this article when i bought in touch. as has been said before, there is absolutely no way that j.simp weighs less than carrie underwood. they are the same height and carrie is tiny now! if they’re really the same height, i would guess carrie around 113 and jess more like 119.
i do think they both look pretty great though.
i’m less convinced about lauren conrad’s body. she’s cute, and slim, but is she that slim? i just can’t tell.

By poops on Jan 7, 2008 | Reply
Jessica Simpson hasn’t been 112lbs since she was thirteen.
Lauren Conrad looks like she fell off of a garbage truck face-first and her body is completely unremakable.
Carrie Underwood looked better before.
Ricki Lake - is it really necessary to have 1800cals worth of meals delivered? Save your money for those ongoing therapy sessions.

a coonhound is a type of dog. There are actually several breeds of coonhounds, and they are dogs generally used for hunting raccoons. I don’t know if they have a different name in England? They are in all the dog shows, AKC and everything. Mine are half Black and Tan Coonhound and half Redbone Coonhound. Because they are bread to chase raccoons through the woods, they can run FOREVER.

andrea, I was thinking exactly the same thing. That poor little guy’s face looks like “Please! Help me!”. Dogs really do help though. To be around a creature whose absolute happiness depends on being able to run around outside….if only I could bottle that.
I love the Naomi Watts ‘Then’ and ‘Now’ pics. Yeah, getting rid of that extra person she was carrying around really did the trick. She does look amazing, though. She looks 20 yrs younger than Nicolette Sheridan (actually 4 yrs).

I have no idea what to write here….my mind is spinning between garbage trucks, coon hounds and the creepy hysterical idea of Paris Hilton safe S.E.X. seminars. You all are too funny. I would say that Miss Jessica weighs more like120-125 on her small frame. And Carrie Underwood is really only 5′3??…wow…she is little and looks thinner than 115 (anybody agree, disagree??). Poops, do you really think Carrie looked better before? Do tell please! Conrad looks like 120 easy. P.S. I hate these articles.
By poops on Jan 7, 2008 | Reply
cat - Carrie looked better before. I think her former weight is more consistent with her actual image, too. She’s a more convincing naturally cute country bumpkin than contrived country seductress.

By mamalisa on Jan 7, 2008 | Reply
like I always say in celebrity eating/workout stories…I find it very hard to believe that anyone is honest about what they eat. I am so sure that Jessica Simpson eats 1800 calories a day. I can;t tell you the last time I ate that many calories in a day, esp. if I am trying to lose a few pounds.
By Adrienne on Jan 7, 2008 | Reply
Carrie is definetly less than 115. I’m 5′6 and when I was 115 I looked about the same, if not slightly heavier than her. I say she’s like 105.
By allison on Jan 7, 2008 | Reply
for sure carrie is less, jessica is more, and lauren is more.

I’m with Tiffany. At 4′10″ I know what it is like to be short/petite. Her chest may weigh 112.

Am I alone in not thinking that 1800 calories is too much for someone to take in daily? What the fuuuuuck? How the hell are you people surviving, if you’re even moderately active?
By SarahK on Jan 7, 2008 | Reply
I agree Jodi. Maybe I’m the giant here (5′8″) but I hover around 1700-2000 cals a day. And yes I work out, and no I’m not fat. I’m just not trying to be stick thin. I’d rather have some muscle and, yes, (gasp!) some HEALTHY FAT on my body. Keep in mind that if you’re in the “normal” height range you shouldn’t ingest less than 1200 cals a day. That is considered malnutrition.

unless jessica is like 5feet tall i doubt she’s 112lbs.. maybe they’re referring to 2/3 of her. she looks good regardless. i’m so sick of seeing lauren conrad everywhere.. she’s so common and i really don’t get the reality tv stars.. i like my own friends and really reality tv is only watching people just like you do the things you’d do.. working, dining out, clubbing. why does LC have such a huge fanbase? i really am so over it.

By Granger on Jan 7, 2008 | Reply
Jodi, I agree. I think it’s really strange that there are people on this site who don’t believe Jessica Simpson eats 1,800 calories a day.
First off, though, I don’t believe she weighs 112 lbs. She’s an inch shorter than me, and I’m 120 lbs, so it looks to me like she’s at least 120 or even 125.
With that in mind, then, if she is happy with her weight and exercises 4 or 5 times a week, than 1,800 cals is a perfectly reasonable amount for someone of her height and activity level to consume to maintain. It would only be if she wanted to lose weight at the healthy rate of 1 lb a week that she’d eat less.

Ok, you’d expect me to squeal with glee after reading the comments about Jessica Simpson looking chubby, but not anymore.
She is not the sharpest knife in the drawer — always sliming down “for her man”, hah! — but I don’t want to kick a dog while it’s down anymore. Her career sucks and her plastic sister is now the hot one!
Those diet tips and weight estimates are retarded of course. So I just read the scans for a good laugh.

REF: Carrie Underwood: ….I HONESTLY believe Carrie did begin a lot of touring and (and had been a vegetarian for the past 10 or 12 years! …. So, I do believe that Carrie did hire a personal trainer and also special chef to prepare her healthful “veggie meals” and over the course of time 1 to 1/2 years she tone down and ate healthful foods and also “nibbled on” like fruits, veggies (in-between) !!
ALSO, My ( I.M.O ). that Jessica Alba’s “comings & goings” are way, way too overdone (by the paparazzi & other “photogs” … way too much attention (obssessive, in fact) is given about Jessica A. ! ! J.A. is ( or she can be quite attractive when she has her make-up on and her FASHION ( OUTFITS) PRECISELY selected for her and poured on to her or Jessica Alba’s being “sewn into her outfit(s)” at the the very last minute !
I can NOW UNDERSTAND that when she was on “Live with Regis & Kelly” about 2 weeks back…it was discussed how she (Jess Alba) had been doing like pictures (one right after the other) for the past for the past two years (like nearly “non-stop”) Jessica A. also mentioned to Regis & Kelly that she would NOW be taking an eight month break from EVERYTHING (in her life/schedule) in order for her to just rest, relax, and “re-group”, etc ! On the “Live Show” she …. (Jess Alba) had on the most gorgeous little black dress … just so fashionably gorgeous which appeared to accenuate a small petite type of figure ! I thought she looked gorgeous. Now, after her comments about taking “time off” just for herself for the next 8 (straight) upcoming months…it ALL makes sense !!
About 2 (or so) weeks later, the news broke of her pregnancy with Cash Warren !!! NOW IT ALL SOUNDS feasible. Jess A. specificied in no uncertain terms and without even “blinking an eye”; so to speak , KNEW FOR A FACT that she was, indeed, pregnant, during her guest appearance on Live With Regis & Kelly !!! What do some of the others of you think ??? She has ALWAYS been a frantic exercise individual ( 7days/week)!!!! NO MATTER what ! If she is still continuing to go to the gym, I’m certain she is undoubtedly being careful regarding which exercises she is doing and she’s doing the exercises “geared” towards expectant moms-to-be”!
What do all think ???????
By May on Jan 7, 2008 | Reply
I also agree with Jodi. I’m 5´6 and if I eat 1700-1800 cal a day I don’t lose or gain. Little less and I lose weight. Although I do exercise and I don’t consider 30 min walk an exercise.
By Ana Brynn on Jan 7, 2008 | Reply
I think 1,800 calories sounds about right. I eat 1800-2000 per day(I am an active person and I’m only trying to maintain weight, not lose). I think 1,200 calories sounds like not enough- I could never eat only 1200 calories for an extended period of time! I guess it depends on your metabolism, build, etc…
Anywho- Jess looks like she weighs about 120-125, Carrie looks great and to be around 112. Oh, Naomi looks gorgeous!

i dont believe in counting calories. i eat two meals a day and an organic granny smith apples for snacks.
-i am a vegetarian
- i try to buy organic foods
- I workout 3-5 days a week - i do weight training and use the treadmill. weight training burns calories throughout the day and cardo will slims me down. I do alot of squats and bicep curls to tone and i used all the machines- i do circuit training. Every machine for 30 seconds- lift your maximum weight and every four machines jump rope.
Women should not starve themselves!

Was it reported that was was down to something like 102 when she was in really good shape for Dukes of Hazard? It’s believable to me that her musle turned to fat making her appear larger than her actually weight. I’d still say she’s a bit over 112 though.
By Spectra on Jan 7, 2008 | Reply
LOL, for a sec I thought the little Yorkie dog was her workout buddy until I read that she has a Rottweiler puppy that she hikes with. That makes a bit more sense.
I also think 1800 calories a day is kind of skimpy if you work out a lot. I eat like, 2300 or so calories a day and I barely weigh 100 lbs at 5′3″. And who the heck would take diet advice from Jessica Simpson? She’s like a little robot…she just does what any Hollywood trainer/diet book writer will tell her. And all that crap about losing weight “for her man” is such BS. You should never lose weight for a guy. If he doesn’t love you as you are, he’s not worth loving.
By MarikaJ on Jan 7, 2008 | Reply
“Stop walking”? Jogging the wrong way can actually be less strenuous than walking the right way. In any case, some people would rather sacrifice a few calories than deal with all the wear ‘n’ tear from jogging.

I’m in full agreement with everything you just said Spectra. Gem, and SC, you both had me laughing, and I have laryngitis right now! I don’t count calories, couldn’t tell you what was in anything. I can approximate that I eat a good deal more than 1800 though, or I’d weigh 70 lbs at 5′3″. I think it’s more like what Spectra put it at, about 2300 sounds about right. Jessica is beautiful, but does look much better leaner and toned.

Sorry, AG. This is just my experience, but it’s the truth:
I used to run 3-5K 4 times a week and didn’t lose a pound. When I started walking (fast, with hills, about 1 hour, 6-7 days a week) I lost weight. I’m 5′5″, weigh 117 and am 44 years old. And my diet has stayed the same.
Low intensity cardio burns the calories –I thought that was a well known fact.
