In Touch Weekly: Thin By Memorial Day!
April 29th, 2008 by Rian | Filed under Miscellaneous Celebrities, Tabloid Magazines.
The latest cover of In Touch Weekly promises to tell you what the stars (Eva Longoria and Lauren Conrad) do to get skinny by Memorial Day.
Unfortunately as usual, the article is a rehash of the same old thing. (Also, hasn’t Lauren Conrad put on weight recently?)
Here’s a quick roundup of the story:
- Lauren Conrad did a two-week detox (which one, we don’t know) to kick start her bikini diet. After that, she stuck to 1200-1500 calories per day starting with a protein shake and berries in the morning, followed by salad and hummus for lunch and fish and veggies for dinner. If you are wondering why this diet sounds familiar, it’s because it’s the same one printed in nearly every tabloid celebrity weight loss story…
- Audrina Partridge got in shape for bikini season quite simply. She claims that she isn’t prone to gaining weight, so she just doesn’t drink soda and doesn’t eat a lot of sugar and does lots of sit-ups.
- Heidi Montag works out - a lot - to stay fit and toned.
- Eva Longoria lots those 10 pounds she gained during the writer’s strike by simply avoiding frozen or preserved foods. She only eats what is fresh and expires quickly. “The fewer ingredients, the better,” she says.
- Mariah Carey worked out with a trainer and ate veggies and lean proteins like artichoke hearts, zucchini, tomatoes and chicken to slim down. (Hey, what happened to the fish and soup diet?!)
The article is followed by that same diet that is printed in 90% of tabloid celebrity weight loss diet articles…

eh
lc
You pretty much have to starve yourself on a detox diet- a lot are fasts or fruits-only. She would be way skinnier if she did that for two weeks.
Adriana stays skinny thanks to drugs. Her eyes are always rolled back into her head, she’s definitely on something.
Stupid Hills Girls — GET OVER YOURSELVES!!
“After that, she stuck to 1200-1500 calories per day starting with a protein shake and berries in the morning, followed by salad and hummus for lunch and fish and veggies for dinner.”
Uh, that HARDLY equals 1200-1500 calories. 500 *maybe*. duh.
i can swear they are all lying.
I’m with Fangango- that “diet” Lauren is on seems more like 800 calories, not 1500.
But… Lauren, Audrina, and Heidi must be doing something right because they all look great. Then again, they are only 22 and should look like that pretty effortlessly.
I love how they use pictures of Lauren from nearly a year ago.
those tabloid weight loss plans are so predictable..its getting old
they need a new sort of gimmick to hook readers in haha
i only read them to look at the pictures now
and even then, they still use old or outdated pictures and claim it’s the celebrity at their fantastic new weight
Ok, I heard Heidi got butt implants. Her butt has been looking larger lately. Check out the pictures of her and Spencer in Washington DC.
The only diets that I believe are Mariah’s and Eva’s. Mariah had a lot of weight to lose so a diet that strict makes sense. And Eva’s diet of not eating processed foods and sticking to fresh foods is totally my diet. It’s a lot of extra work in the kitchen, but makes a huge difference.
I’m with h_valentine.
Lauren conrad isn’t even pretty, she’s just average looking…theres nothing special about her.
Audrina looks like she’s on drugs and she looks like a chickmunk(spelling?)
They starve themselves, alot of girls my age,22ish, have weird eating patterns..well as far as I know from friends or people I come across.
Audrina “isn’t prone to gaining weight” — sounds like bulimia to me. that sounds like something you say when you throw up all your food and can’t really do anything else for your diet unless you cut out caloric liquids. she’s got chipmunk cheeks, too.
yeah I gotta say, I don’t know what’s so special about the Hills girls. They’re your typical 22 year olds that I see in college every day…. big whoop. I don’t think I believe a lot of the diets, I don’t know who can effortlessly resist pizza and cookies every day lol.
Heidi Montag works out a lot, but she claims that she eats a lot too. I’m betting she’s lying, but on Tyra she said she ate “like 3 tacos and a quesadilla and some fajitas…the server looked at me like, ‘what’s wrong with that chick?’ I just like to eat”. Riiiight.
I bet theres some shake, pill or injections that the stars use that no one knows about and they all use it. its a “secret”
nono, lauren conrad actullay DID lose weight.
ah those days when I used to pop the hunger killing pills once a day everyday..it also effortlessly helped!
can you please post a few recent photos of Liz hurley, she definitley looks like she has put on weight. thanks and I absoloutley love your blog
I love lauren conrad,she’s very healthy and toned,eva longoria is not as thin as before and heidi montag is still the same as always..
I think lauren looks like she gained weight. Audrina and Heidi both look naturally thin to me. Lauren has the type of body that she has to work out extra hard to be thin/toned. And she’s not even that thin OR toned.
I think Audrina has the best body of them all.
and the crunches thing…you CANT get a toned stomach from JUST crunches..even if you do 500 a day….you need to lose the FAT first.
I agree AmyQ- they don’t eat & want people to emulate their “healthiness” that won’t get the same results. These girls are only 22. If they ate right & worked out, they’d lose the weight- I’d know, I’m doing it.
Lauren is average (glad I’m not the only one who sees it- not hot @all!), and Audrina does have the cheeks of a possible bulimic. I wish we could all get over them.
HOLLYWOOD, BRING BAK REAL MOVIE STARS!
ugh when will those hills wenches go away
Eva is the only one that is really what you would call a cute skinny. The only reason Heidi Montag looks so thin now is because she had her boobs done and the other girls are boring and average!!
montag and conrad are in a skinny contest, that’s pretty well known. looks like montag is winning so far. yes a lot of them are taking speed and stuff to keep the hunger at bay.
eva still hasn’t lost the 10 she gained during the strike.. i’m sure she will though.
1) the reason they mention that diet so often is because of all the stupid fad diets, that one actually works a little. It’s the closest “diet” to actual healthy eating, and as such gives better results than (for example) cutting out all carbs. Of course, you could always just try eating healthy and exercising.. but that won’t sell so many magazines.
2) full cheeks do not a bulimic make. That’s like saying that all blondes are from Norway.
3) why the hell are Tom and Katie such tabloid obsessions? are they ever seen anywhere outside the pages of trashy magazines?
Lauren looks like she lost some pounds from the last season. And remember she was bigger on Laguna Beach too. I heard she does Adderall, but if she did, I think she would be thinner. I just don’t think she cares about skinny, but wants to be healthy.
I’ve heard Spencer makes Heidi work out really hard 6 days a week lol probably. I believe her about eating alot but I think she’s exaggerating on HOW MUCH she eats.
What drug is Audrina on??
i watched the hills for the first time the other day and it was painful. i do not see how that show is so popular. they all act like morons
I dont believe Heidi eats that much. I think that is a lie. I do believe she works out alot. Eva Longoria used to brag about how much she eats than it caught up with her a few months back when the writers strike was going on. I dont believe any of there eating habits they all starve thenselves practically.
I would much rather read the story about Ashlee.
