Tori Spelling Sets the Record Straight: "I'm Not Anorexic"

FitSugar — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 03:30:00 -0700

Accusing someone of having an eating disorder is a serious thing, and Tori Spelling has been the object of recent accusations due to her extremely thin figure. Critics thought she was too thin in February after she quickly lost her baby weight. Before she just brushed off comments about her small frame, but now she's setting the record straight. She responded to these assertions recently in People magazine, saying:

"Oh my God, I'm not anorexic. I acknowledge that I look thin in photos. I get it . . . Obviously I don't want to lose any more weight, but people haven't seen me not pregnant in two and a half years. I'm eating healthy, I just have a crazy lifestyle."

Tori admits that she doesn't always have time to sit down for a well-balanced meal. To see how and why she is trying to change that bad habit, read more.

"I want to be a positive role-model for my daughter. The last thing I want to put out there is that it's acceptable to be too thin or have an eating disorder because you're in Hollywood. I have two kids that I need to be healthy for because they need their mom."

Well that's good to hear. I hope she really is taking care of herself and practicing what she preaches.

Tori Spelling Asks, "Now I'm Too Thin?"

FitSugar — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 03:30:00 -0800

Former Beverly Hills 90210 star, Tori Spelling, has always sported a thin frame. After giving birth to her second child, she quickly lost the 50 pounds of baby weight in only about six months. She did it all on her own, by watching what she ate, walking and swimming with her family, and doing strength training moves like crunches and squats.

Now the media is accusing her of being too thin, speculating that this 5'6" celebrity weighs an estimated 112 pounds. While Tori hasn't shared the number on her scale, she's brushing off negative comments that say she's too skinny. In an Us Weekly article, she defended her weight, saying that she eats sensibly and exercises with her family. In the past, she felt "bullied by the press and public opinion about her weight," but now she has more important things to worry about. Aside from spending time with her family, she's been having a blast filming multiple episodes of the New 90210. It's nice to hear that she's doing her thing and not worrying about what the media has to say. I just hope she really is taking good care of herself.

Get the Bod: Tori Spelling Post-Pregnancy

FitSugar — Thu, 08 Jan 2009 10:00:00 -0800

After seeing photos of Jessica Alba's rockin' body just two months after she gave birth, Tori Spelling's initial reaction was disbelief that she, too, would be able to quickly bounce back to her pre-pregnancy weight. Tori had gained 50 pounds during her second pregnancy, and after giving birth just six months ago, the mother of two is sporting a teeny bikini in In Touch magazine.

Six months is longer than the time it took Jessica Alba to shed her baby weight, but losing weight is not a race. This is the mentality that enabled Tori to lose weight healthfully and at her own pace. Here are the highlights from Tori's In Touch bikini feature.

Her diet: While losing weight, Tori didn't count calories but watched what she ate. She said, "Breakfast was yogurt, fruit and nuts. Lunch was homemade soup with a sweet potato or soy milk base. We'd snack on celery and peanut butter, and then I'd make lean protein with vegetables for dinner." Her maintenance plan involves three well-balanced meals each day with snacks in between, and she'll indulge on her cheat days.

To see what she did for exercise, read more.

Her workouts: Tori said, "For me to go to the gym and leave my kids doesn't make sense." She walks with her family and takes her family swimming when weather permits. For toning, she does three sets of 12 crunches and sit-ups every day, does squats, and lifts weights.

Tori is proud that she achieved her goal weight on her own and said, "I'm a working mom of two, so to know that I did it all by myself was huge." Props to her for confidently doing things her own way.

Get Physical: Kickbox With Your Honey

FitSugar — Sat, 05 Jan 2008 03:30:00 -0800

One of my favorite ways to burn off some serious calories with my hubby is by kickboxing and it looks like Tori Spelling and husband Dean McDermott feel the same way. (Sidenote: Didn't she just have a baby? She looks amazing!)

Kickboxing is part boxing, part martial arts and part aerobics all in one. Not only is it a blast, but it also uses the muscles of the upper body, lower body, and core, which means you're working a lot of muscles in a little time. It's a great exercise to do with someone else because you can practice your jabs, cross-punches and roundhouses with (and on) someone else. What's more? A 150 pound woman can burn 700 calories per hour with a vigorous session of kickboxing. So do it just the two of you, rent a DVD, or sign up for a class. It happens to be one of the only classes I can get my husband to join me in - apparently the words "kick" and "boxing" add enough masculinity to cancel out the far less masculine words "group class." I love Tori's pink boxing gloves, too. I may have to upgrade from my mini pink glove on my key chain.

They Lost The Baby Weight Already!

FitSugar — Wed, 11 Jul 2007 15:45:00 -0700

I am always amazed at new celebrity moms and how fast they slim down. Apparently I am not alone since InTouch recently named the top ten starlets who quickly lost their baby weight and how they did it.

Marcia Cross: Marcia stays away from junk food
After reaching 197 pounds during her pregnancy, Marcia Cross is delighted by how quickly she lost the baby weight since having her twin daughters, Eden and Savannah, on February 20. “It’s happening a lot faster than I expected!” says the 45-year-old. Marcia melts off the pounds by working out at home with exercise DVDs and taking treadmill and weight classes at LA’s Burn 60 gym. She also follows a healthy diet. “I’m not eating cookies and candy and all of that,” says Marcia. “Just protein and vegetables.”

There are more, including Julia Roberts and Heidi Klum so, read more

Tori Spelling: Tori’s dieting for the first time
Sleepless nights and diaper duty aren’t the only ways that her son, Liam, has changed Tori Spelling’s life. The 34-year-old had never been on a diet before her pregnancy, so losing 40 pounds of baby weight was a new challenge. “I was huge!” says Tori, who gave birth on March 13. She’s now on the NutriSystem diet to return to her 115-pound figure - and husband Dean McDermott is helping. “He’s doing the diet with me,” Tori says.
Julia Roberts: Julia runs errands on foot
While pregnant with her son Henry, Julia Roberts worked out until the very end. “She did yoga in her ninth month of pregnancy,” a pal reveals. “She also watched everything she ate and didn’t gain too much weight.” Since giving birth on June 18, Julia - who also has 2-year-old twins Phinnaeus and Hazel - has continued to eat healthy (she loves whole-grain pancakes with no butter or syrup) and stay fit. “Julia walks everywhere - to the market, dry cleaners and day care,” says the insider. “She burns a lot of calories running after her twins.”
Heidi Klum: Heidi’s kids keep her fit
Heidi Klum credits being a mom to two other children with helping her get back into supermodel shape following the birth of her son Johan on November 22. “It’s true that running around after three kids is a lot of activity in itself!” she tells In Touch. “I’ve bounced back to my pre-pregnancy weight naturally without having to do anything drastic.” But a healthy diet helps, too: Heidi, 34, fills up on fruit, vegetables, chicken and fish and snacks on hard-boiled egg whites when she’s hungry.
Melanie Brown: Mel’s trainer got her in shape
When Melanie Brown was pregnant, the Spice Girl didn’t have much energy to burn. “I didn’t feel like working out,” she admits. “I just ate and slept.” But after indulging in her mom’s home cooking toward the end of her pregnancy, the 32-year-old says she was ready to get back into fighting shape after her daughter, Angel Iris, was born on April 3. That’s when her personal trainer, Joey Kormier, stepped in and helped Mel drop 28 pounds. “He’s been killing me,” she jokes. In addition to a strict exercise regime, Joey has her on a healthy eating plan, too. “He makes me eat salmon - I hate it, but I lost 10 pounds in a little more than a week.”

Naomi Watts's Secret to Losing the Baby Weight

FitSugar — Thu, 15 Jan 2009 10:00:00 -0800

It amazes me how celebs like Tori Spelling, Jessica Alba, and Christina Aguilera have slimmed down so quickly after having their babies. Another new mom, Naomi Watts, can join that list too. The 40-year-old actress is already close to her pre-baby figure since giving birth to her second just about a month ago. She owes it all to breastfeeding. Naomi explained to People magazine that her son is "sucking it all out of me, it seems. And when the baby comes out, it's a lot of weight right there."

While it's true that breastfeeding does burn up a lot of calories, solely nursing to lose baby weight isn't the magic pill. It's a combination of that, eating right, and exercising that can help a new mom shrink down to the size she was before becoming pregnant. It is good to remember that some women just lose baby weight more easily than others; I think genes play a role in this process.

Are Dog People Healthier Than Cat People?

FitSugar — Tue, 17 Jul 2007 03:30:00 -0700

It seems so. I am not trying to make all you cat people (sorry Giggle) feel bad about your chosen companions, but a recent finding out of Queen's University in Belfast has found that when it comes to health, dog owners take the cake.

Dog owners tended to have lower blood pressure and cholesterol as well as fewer minor ailments and serious medical problems. This is in part due to increases in physical activity (walks) but also since owning a dog can aid in the development of social contacts, which may enhance both physiological and psychological human health indirectly.

Although their smiles could have been due to an animal of another kind, the dogs definitely brought a few social celebs, such as Hilary Duff, together recently at the Much Love Animal Rescue Benefit at the Playboy mansion.

Don't give up on your feline companion just yet though -- Pet owners in general tended to be healthier than the average member of the population.
