Jordin Sparks : How she lose 30 pounds !

One way to motivate you to lose weight is reading real success stories of how one shed weight not by diet pills like phenteripped but through eating right and exercising. One example is Jordin Sparks.

Jordin Sparks is an American pop / RB recording artist, songwriter and actress who rose to fame as the winner of the sixth season of American Idol. She hails from Glendale, Arizona. Sparks won when she was 17 years old, making her the youngest winner in Idol history. 

When she got pneumonia at the end of 2010, she couldn't even walk a few feet without getting winded. She hated feeling so weak, and that's when it clicked. If she wanted to feel stronger, inside and out, she had to make eating right and exercising a priority and so she did! She ended up losing 30 pounds over the next year, but according to her the real payoff was learning how amazing it feels to treat her body right. She's thankful too to her personal trainer:

“Any time I find time — or I’m not sleeping — he’s like, ‘Let’s work out, let’s do something.’ I’m like, ‘no,’ but he gets my butt up and I’ve got to do it,” Jordin says. “It’s fun to do that. He doesn’t keep the same thing every time,” Jordin says. “He shocks the body so you’re running, you’re doing throw downs, you’re doing stairs, you’re doing lunges.”

What do you think about the change?

Fitness flash!

Do you like reading Diet Success Stories? I do. They're inspiring because they lost 10Kg each simply by changing the way they eat (though one admit that she's taking one of the top fat burners before she took the natural way of losing weight. One shares that her weight loss secrets are the following :

• She cut sugary and fried foods.
• She ate meals regularly and had earlier dinners.
• She changed from unhealthy snacks to fruit and plain crackers.

With what she shares, I doubt if she could keep the weight off. According to the Dietician, her weight loss is ideal, slow and gradual. It could be sped up with exercises, though. Having meals on time and earlier dinners are good practices . Not sleeping with a full stomach is also very important. Sugary foods do boosts her energy but also increases her weight!Yes, snacks like fruits and crackers with fiber will sustain hunger and fill one up plus they are low in calories.

The verdict of her diet practice is OK. This eating pattern will shed the pounds and keep it off. We can try this diet, too. If it works for this woman, then it will work for us!

Would this be Angelina Jolie's diet secret?

One of my favorite actresses is Angelina Jolie . I really liked her in her new movie, SALT- in which she plays a CIA agent trying to prove she is not a Russian spy. Angelina filmed the movie only 6 months after giving birth to the twins, which is a pretty amazing feet to get back into that good of shape that quick.

I read in Globe that the “Sexiest Woman In America”, Angelina Jolie, used Hoodia to drop her 25lbs of baby fat super fast. Malcolm Balfour reports that “Angelina appears to have already lost most of the 25 lbs she gained during the pregnancy… in fact, she looked toned and fit just 19 DAYS after giving birth….”

How has she done it? Sources in the arid African country wonder if she has been using the miracle slimming extract Hoodia. Hoodia is a cactus that grows in the south African desert.

Dr. Richard Goldfarb - The medical director of research and development at Bucks County Clinical Research had this to say after he done test on hoodia...

"The appetite suppressant effect -- after it accumulates in your system, after only a few days we saw in our study -- People will cut their calories probably in less than half and not desire any additional food."

Weight loss expert Madelyn Fernstrom says...

"You strip off the skin, you strip off the spines, then you Eat it and you won't want to eat anything else"

Wanna be sexy like Angelina Jolie? It's up to you to look for that Hoodia...he..he...

The reason why I didn't use diet pills

Remember my post about considering diet pills. I was serious at about that because I was so desperate to lose weight as soon as possible. In here, a number of weight-loss pills are available at local drugstore, 7/11 convenience store and in Watsons or Boots. I did my homework before trying any weight-loss pills. I also check the FDA Web site for alerts about safety concerns and product recalls. I read reviews about diet pills that claimed to be safe weight loss pills to further know about their effectiveness and safety.

I haven't yet tried any diet pills because as I said it would be my last resort if my seven-day meal plan won't work. Because it works for me, I'll just stick to my strict diet coupled with exercise.

The best way to reach our ideal weight is with regular exercise, diet and nutrition.

This seven-day meal plan works for me

I once found a torn magazine in church about the seven-day meal plan that claims to get rid of tummy fat first (you could stop searching the net for answers on how to lose weight coz you could see you drop 7lb in a week if you follow it right).

Here's the easiest way ever to get on the plan-just follow these rules for one week (no more, though, this is strictly a fast fix)...

1. Breakfast on eggs. Boil them, scramble them, poach them, fry them, make them into an omelette with a couple of extra whites, but for the next week it's only eggs for breakfast. Add 1 tomato or a glass of tomato or fresh vegetable juice (not carrot) as well.

2. Make lunch a portion of lean protein (fish, chicken, turkey, ham) with lots and lots of salad veggies.

3. make dinner more fish, chicken or lean steak with lots of boiled, stir-fried or casseroled vegetables.

4. If you want snack, have a 50g(20z)serving of any low-fat cheese or 75g (30z) cottage cheese. Haven't tried this instead I ate wheat crackers for snacks.

I tried this plan and I could say it works! Try this and maybe it will work for you too and you'll get a flatter tummy!
