National Hunger Awareness Day

FitSugar — Tue, 05 Jun 2007 00:01:00 -0700

It is true that I write a lot about food here on FitSugar. Things like how to snack responsibly and avoid eating mindlessly. Today however, I wanted to take a moment to focus on the other side of this issue, hunger. Today is National Hunger Awareness Day and the organization America's Second Harvest, the nation's food bank network, is hoping to raise awareness of hunger in America. The theme this year is "The face of hunger will surprise you." Their goal is to bring attention to the growing number of struggling low-income Americans who are often forced to choose between paying for utilities, medicine, gasoline or putting food on the table.

Second Harvest has rounded up some celebrities for their Goin’ Home for Hunger” program. Actors and musicians will be volunteering at the food banks in their hometowns, in hopes to build up support for Second Harvest's effort. So volunteer, and you may rub elbows with Ben Affleck or Nick Lachey while they lend a hand to feed America's hungry.

If you are interesting in participating in today's events - check out this activities calendar (organized by city and state), to find an event in your area. Or you can find your local food bank and make a contribution. Many cities have created Dine Out Against Hunger where participating restaurants are donating Hunger Day proceeds to hunger relief.

There are many ways to participate; I sure do hope we all do what we can.

Get the Bod: Vanessa Minnillo

FitSugar — Fri, 20 Apr 2007 07:30:00 -0700

Vanessa Minnillo has not only been known for being Nick Lachey's girl, she's also known for having a hot bod...

Lucky for us, Vanessa recently told InTouch some of her own tricks she uses to keep her eating habits under control:

Slim down your Starbucks. She replaced her fave fattening coffee drink with a Mocha Frappuccino Light. "It's low-fat and has half the sugar," she explains.

Make smart carb choices. Vanessa orders her sushi and burritos with brown rice, which is healthier than white, because it has more nutrients and three times the fiber.

Look at your portion sizes. Change the way you eat, advises the TRL host, who eats four smaller meals a day.

Find a low-cal treat to satisfy sweet cravings. Vanessa loves to snack on sweet Teddy Grahams (15 crackers have just 82 calories).

Pay attention to when you feel full and stop eating. "You don't have to finish the whole buffet or everything on your plate," she says.

Celebs Heat Up the Beach

FitSugar — Wed, 30 May 2007 13:30:00 -0700

Here is some eye candy to check out. Hopefully it will help you get to the other side of hump day..

Life & Style combed the beaches and found A-list beach bodies and awarded them with a variety of "superlatives." FitSugar had the pleasure of commenting on the honorees.

Here are the FitSugar quotes and some information to go with those celeb shots:

Jessica Biel - Most Athletic
"She's got the entire package."
Jessica told L&S that she likes to mix it up to avoid workout boredom at the gym.

Kate Hudson - Leanest Legs
"Those S Factor strip aerobics classes are paying off in stripes."
Pole dancing and plenty of water keep Kate looking so good.

Jessica Alba - Shapeliest Shoulders
"She looks fantastic."
Fitness pro Ramona Braganza tell L&S that Jessica likes to work her shoulders and back.

Matthew McConaughey - Perfect Pecs
"That hot body doesn't just come from surfing."
Matt isn't a gym rat and says he does serious exercise outside - where there is no dress code - every day.

Tara Reid - Most Improved
"Who cares if Taradise didn't make it - she's looking lovely in paradise."
Tara admits to having a little help - she had her botched belly smoothed after bad liposuction.

There's another spread, so read more

Lindsay Lohan - Hottest in Hollywood
"Looks like dancing at the cubs has actually done Lindsay some good."
LiLo starts her day with a dose of vitamins, flaxseed and iron pills.

Vanessa Minnillo and Nick Lachey - Hottest Couple
"It must've been 98 degrees out there because they both look so hot."
This couple does really workout together - they motivate and encourage each other.

Mario Lopez - Most Chiseled Six-Pack
"That's one hot body mixing with some cool waves."
Mario added boxing to his routine, so his ab work consists of more than just crunches.

Kate Bosworth - Sleekest Frame
"She'd definitely crush and beach-body competition."
It is really great to see her looking healthy again.

Heidi Montag - Healthiest Curves
"Blond and bodacious, she belongs on the beach."
Rumor has it that Heidi recently upped her cup size with implants, but the rest of her looks au natural.
