 We
are all guilty of flipping through
the latest fashion magazine, dreaming
of looking like those thin, leggy
creatures we call celebrities. How
do they do it? With their flowing,
shiny hair, size 2 bodies and flawless
skin—it is only fair they
let their adoring public in on the
secret. Sure, the Jennifer Lopezes
of the world have entire teams of
makeup artists, fashion designers,
trainers and personal chefs working
together to make every snapshot
look beautiful, but Hollywood stars
are also turning to natural health
for their fresh, beautiful looks.
Ashley
Judd’s flawless appearance
and slender 5’7”, 125-pound
frame may be due to her avoidance
of all dairy products. Judd uses
soymilk instead of cow’s milk
for her cereal and begins her day
with a drink of hot water and lemon
juice to cleanse and stimulate digestion.
The lanky supermodel, Claudia Schiffer,
consumes nothing but fruit until
noon as part of her personal health
practice. Demi Moore claims that
herbal teas and vitamins help boost
her energy, keeping her alert for
her busy schedule.

Certain Hollywood
stars have made their fortunes in
the diet industry. Suzanne Somers
has created a multimillion dollar
business with her Somersizing diet.
The theory behind the Suzanne Somers
diet is a mixture of food combining
and low carbohydrate/high protein
meal plans. Although some weight
loss seekers have found success
with this diet, it has been criticized
for its lack of scientific evidence.
For example, Somers’ diet
claims that when proteins and carbohydrates
are eaten together, their digestive
enzymes cancel each other out, causing
disrupted digestion and weight gain.
This is simply not true.
Other stars
shed pounds by following meal plans
similar to the Truestar method of
eating (the 40:30:30 method of eating)—Friends
star Jennifer Aniston lost 30 pounds
following this method! The 40:30:30
method of eating (otherwise known
as the Zone Diet) has been shown
to balance blood sugar levels, thereby
causing the pancreas to secrete
an appropriate amount of the hormone
insulin. When eating in hormonal
balance, weight loss is easily achieved.
Truestar’s
hormonally balanced, delicious and
easy-to-prepare meals offer whole,
live foods filled with energy-boosting
minerals, vitamins, essential fats
and enzymes which are necessary
for optimal wellness.
In addition
to following Truestar’s hormonally,
calorically and pH balanced meal
plans, you can use the following
tips to naturally achieve weight
loss, beautiful skin and glorious
hair:
1.
Do not smoke. Smoking
is one of the quickest ways to age
youthful looking skin.
For
beautiful skin and shiny hair eat
foods that contain omega-3 essential
fats, such as cold-water
fish (salmon, tuna and mackerel),
sesame seeds, walnuts and omega-3
eggs. Because it is often
difficult to obtain a sufficient
amount of omega-3 fats from diet
alone, it is best to supplement
with fish oil capsules daily. Our
mothers were right when they fed
us cod liver oil!
3. Drink
a minimum of six to eight glasses
of water per day. In the cooler
months, when the body tends toward
warming foods and drinks, lean on
herbal teas as a good source of
hydration.
4. Exercise
and stretch daily to keep your muscles
strong and your joints lubricated.
A short 20 to 30 minute workout
at the gym or at home is enough!
Visit the Truestar Exercise section
for more details.
5. Avoid
processed white flour and white
sugar. Stick to whole grain pastas
and breads such as flax, multigrain,
kamut or spelt.
