Vegetarian Diet

A vegetarian diet is the key to losing weight and staying fit. Celebrities such as Pamela Anderson, Natalie Portman and Alicia Silverstone, who are confirmed vegetarians, are well-known for their beautiful bodies as well. Vegetables and fruits, especially the ones which are high in fiber, such as broccoli, beans, avocado, mushrooms, potatoes, spinach, pumpkin, apples, oranges, guavas and peas, should be included in the diet. This is because fiber rich foods make a person feel fuller for a longer time, and hence reduce the overall food and calorie intake. Besides, high fiber vegetarian foods, high protein food items, such as low fat milk, low fat cheese and yogurt, should also be taken as they help in maintaining the muscle mass, thus aiding in body's fat burning process.

Famous Celebrity Diets to Lose Weight

Five Factor Diet

This diet is very famous among the celebrities and promises to show results in just five weeks. It is based on the philosophy that small meals should be taken five times a day, and each meal should be prepared from five different ingredients. According to this diet, there are five cheat days, i.e., one per week when the people following this diet can take a break from it. In addition to the diet routines, there is a twenty five minute workout routine which has to be performed daily. 

Atkins Diet 

This diet is based on the philosophy that the diet should be such that it shifts the body in a state of ketosis, by which the body uses fat as a kind of fuel, resulting in immediate weight loss. In the first two weeks of this diet, a person eats only fats, cheese and meats. Carbohydrates are almost eliminated from the diet. From the third week onwards, carbohydrates are reintroduced into the diet. However, high sugar foods and refined foods such as white flour have to be completely eliminated. 

Blood Group Diet

This diet is based on the philosophy that lectins in food will react differently to all the blood groups, hence, a person with a particular blood group should eat only certain kinds of foods to stay thin and fit. For example, people with blood group O, are recommended to include lots of meats in their diet. Blood group A people should eat mostly vegetarian foods and completely refrain from red meat. Blood group B people should eat lots of dairy foods and blood group AB should eat a diet which is mix of that recommended for blood groups A and B.

These are some of the ways how celebrities lose weight. Although, on a personal level, I still feel that instead of blindly following what they do, one should stick to a healthy diet which is a mix of foods from all the three major groups, i.e. carbohydrates, proteins and fats. Along with this, one can adopt a lot of good things from the celebrity's ways of losing weight such as exercising everyday, practicing yoga, eating vegetarian food and eating small meals, and incorporate them in one's daily routine, to lose weight and to remain healthy.
