Did you know that the average nursing mother burns 500 calories per day? That’s how Golden Globe winner Actress Rachel Weisz lost her baby weight “I don’t really have a magic potion or pill.”I do Pilates. Nursing burns a lot of calories, 500 calories a day. So, if I could help promote breast-feeding, that would be a good way.”

Not only is breast feeding a great way to drop that baby weight, but is also beneficial to your child’s health. Breast-fed children are significantly more likely to do well in measures of stereoscopic vision than are those who received formula during infancy, according to UK researchers.

Gwen Stefani tells Elle magazine all about her baby weight!

On her public Pregnancy:

“It was weird being pregnant in a fishbowl situation. Especially on days when you feel really fat and disgusting and not cute. Pregnancy was challenging in a way I didn’t expect. I was on tour and I was so sick. It was like PMS times a million.”

On her baby weight:

“I worked out with my trainer throughout my whole pregnancy until about two weeks before. I cried during my last session. I was like, ‘I can’t breathe, I can’t do this anymore. What am I doing?’ It was crazy. All my life I had to work hard to stay in shape. I’ve always struggled with it. I was a little chubby when I was younger, and I didn’t want to be that person forever. I became a swimmer at school – but only because I wanted to be skinnier! I’m extremely vain. I like wearing cute clothes.”

On getting her body back:

“There aren’t any tricks, it’s simple math: you put this much food in, you burn that much working out. I gave myself three months – but if I didn’t have an album coming out, there’s no way I would have gotten back into shape in that time. I worked out with my trainer five days a week, with weekends off. I would really recommend doing weights. I’m not into yoga and pilates – they don’t work for me and I don’t have the patience. I’m more like a man. I like going to the gym and lifting weights or doing a little boxing.”

Here she is looking stunning at the Golden Globes with hubby Ben Affleck!

“It took me a long, long time. I just wasn’t that motivated. I wanted to play with her. Then I got on the treadmill, stopped stuffing my face and lost the weight. I cut out croissants, bagels and muffins – all the good stuff. And went back to having a salad once a day and protein.”

Halle put those baby bump rumors to rest at the People’s Choice award show. She looked absolutely stunning and slim in dress she wore!

“I wish they would stop that. Because being pregnant is such a serious event in a woman’s life and to make light of life when I had an extra burger is getting a little annoying. So I wish that would stop.  When I am pregnant the world will know.” – Halle Berry

By the way 5-10 pound weight fluctuations are normal for women. Sometime I think I look pregnant when it’s that time of the month too!

Foods For Health & Beauty

We all know that Britney Spears has been having a very hectic past few weeks. We found out last week that she is divorcing her loser husband K-Fed. Recently Brit has been shedding the lbs and even invested in breast implants. From the looks of it Britney has turned to smoking as a comforting aid. Smoking cigarettes is a well known appetite suppressant that I would not recommend for the obvious reasons.

- Smoking Kills

- Hundreds of thousands of people from around the world die every year from diseases caused by smoking

- One out of every two people who smoke their whole lives will die from smoking. Half of them will die at middle age.

- The combination of nicotine and carbon monoxide increase your blood pressure, straining your heart and blood vessels while smoking.

- Smoking tobacco causes cancer

- Smoking slows down your blood flow cutting off oxygen, and in some circumstances can lead to amputation of limbs.

- Your lungs become coated with tar

There are many more reasons not to smoke cigarettes. Exercise is a better alternative to losing weight and relieving stress.
