If you want to lose weight your in the right
place.
 Diets
come a dime a dozen in Hollywood. They practically fall out of
the sky. Any doctor or layman who manages to have an original
idea or, at least, a new twist on an old idea, and is marginally
successful in selling it to the public is thinking of setting up
a shop in Hollywood. There’s probably no other place on
Earth where diets and any other idea that could keep a body slim
are so venerated as in Hollywood. Hundreds of young women and men
(and some of them not so young) employ personal trainers and are
up to date on the latest dieting trends because it’s good
for their jobs to do so.
The general public is also
interested in finding out the dieting secrets of movie stars and
singers.
They think that actors might have some tricks up
their sleeves if they manage to stay so slim and good-looking
through the years. Actually it’s not quite like that.
Actors and singers are normal human beings. They have their
unique genetic make-ups which means that no single diet works for
everybody. So each one of them tries a couple of diets in order
to find out which one suits him or her. Moreover, not all
Hollywood stars stick to their diets. The crave for a treat does
not discriminate.
Celebrities don’t have
some sort of secret knowledge that opens the path to a beautiful
body.
Most of them get their tips just as the rest of
the people do. They hear them from hairdressers and make-up
girls. They get them from agents and publicists. Or they follow
the latest fashionable trainer or dietician, just as they pick up
on the latest philosophies or mystical experiences. Moving from
Atkins to cabbage soup is not more complicated than dropping
Buddhism in favor of Kabbalah. Some stars hire people who know a
lot about diets to make these decisions for them.
All these famous people have to
deal with the same kind of issues we all do.
Sticking to a diet is hard on them, too, so they
eat things they shouldn’t and resent the fact that they
can’t do it all the time. They worry about the effects of
such and such diets on their skin and they don’t look all
that great all the time. But for every star there’s a small
army of lighting experts, make-up artists, beauticians, image
editing and visual effects people who work hard to make sure that
the faces we see on screens and in magazines look perfect. No
blemishes, no unsightly skin, no sagging anywhere. Just
perfection.
One thing that could be said for Hollywood stars
is that they work harder at their diets than most people. It’s
very important for their jobs and popularity and so they try
really hard to stay in shape and look good everyday. They’re
not dieting experts and it’s unrealistic to expect them to
be so. They’re good at other things and we’re content
with them being that way. So, the bottom line is that there
really is not secret to Hollywood dieting. Just the will to carry
on and the struggle to stay fit.
