We tested : super-idea. This gluttony is chewed for a long time and gives a little lash.

Better than a personal coach: to keep smooth curves, the heroine of "Fantastic Four" is exercising in front of his TV with his Wii console, Nintendo. Tennis, baseball, bowling ... she practices all sports, with a predilection for boxing. That's good, that's what would burn the most calories
We tested : rather effective, and for once, we move without being bored.

If Kate Bosworth and Renee Zellweger practice running regularly to keep the line, Reese has one more thing: on the advice of her trainer, she walks backwards with weights of 2 kg ankles.

When the singer-actress wants to lose weight, she orders the same salad every day at the Loggia Italian Café. It now bears his name on the menu.
The recipe: 2 Asian pears (in delicatessens) cut into pieces, 10 slices of strawberries, a cup (the equivalent of a Chinese bowl) of grilled chicken breasts cut into strips, 10 sheets of crumpled romaine salad, 1 small handful of croutons. For seasoning: 2 tbsp. olive oil, 1 tbsp. balsamic vinegar, 1 egg yolk and 1 tbsp. coffee of Dijon mustard. Salt, pepper.

Always in her pocket, she allows the actor to "A marriage too perfect" and "How to be dropped in 10 lessons" to brush your teeth after each meal. Why ? Because a nutritionist explained to him that the taste of toothpaste acted as a signal of satiety on the brain. And the more toothpaste is minty, the more effective it is.
We tested: it works even better if we brush our teeth also before each meal, because the taste of menthol alters the flavor of food and slows the greed.
Cheaper than a gym club membership and as effective as Pilates: the muscle building elastic makes working progressively and smoothly. Place it around the ankles and lift fifteen times each leg in front, on the side, behind. Repeat the exercise three times a day. Buttocks dreams guaranteed.
We tested: space-saving, not expensive, it offers a resistance that optimizes bodybuilding.
The party girls trick to not take a gram in the evening? Swallow a small bowl of high-fiber cereals (Kellogg's All-Bran type) with skim milk, because it cuts the appetite.

According to Maoshing Ni, a Chinese medicine doctor and darling of Beverley Hills stars, eating a plum every day is a good way to boost elimination and keep a flat stomach.
Good to know: blending plums with a chopped steak does not distort the taste of meat, but quickly brings a feeling of satiety. The earliest plums are the least caloric (52 Cal per 100 g). All varieties contain 2% fiber.
A desire for sugar? The TV presenter always has ice cream with homemade fruit juice in her freezer.
The recipe: cut 12 passion fruits to recover the juice and the pulp. Then add water and sweetener powder to prepare the syrup. To boil. Out of the heat, add 1 lemon juice. Pour into an ice cube tray by sliding a wooden spatula into each box. Put in a container, then in the freezer.
We tested: with frozen raspberries, it's also delicious, and even less caloric.
Before going to dinner, she always swallows salad seasoned with vinegar. It's amazing to avoid jumping on the first little oven that passes. A recent study published in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition shows that white vinegar increases satiety and lowers glucose and insulin levels.
We tested: 1 tsp. white vinegar in 1 glass of warm water in the morning combined with a balanced diet boosts the result. But no abuse, toxic to the stomach.
The idea of the Hollywood Cookie Diet, the method followed by the actress of "Dreamgirls", is to enjoy 4 cookies of 150 Cal for breakfast and lunch, then to end with a balanced dinner (600 to 900 Cal), with emphasis on soups, salads, fruits, vegetables and fish.
We tested: you really have to be a "sugar addict" to settle for 2 cookies at lunch.
It is well known, drinking a lot of water cuts the appetite. Too insipid for the singer, who prefers bouillons of vegetables or chicken, which do not bring more than 20 Cal.

We tested: a preparation a little tedious. Double the dose for a detox weekend.
When she has a few pounds to lose, the actress removes sugar, dairy products and dried fruits. Typical day: 1 fruit in the morning, 1 large bowl of vegetable soup for lunch and fish (or beef once a week) and vegetables in the evening.
We tested: good idea, provided you bet on a homemade soup or "ready" but without added (no salt or cream).
