Celebrity weight loss secrets: Posh’s favorite diet book, Taylor Hick’s transformation, and more

Not that Victoria “Posh Spice” Beckham needs to lose any weight, but she’s recently been spotted with the book Skinny Bitch, a guide to vegan eating with a sassy, Hollywood attitude. One critic says the book dispenses pretty common weight-loss advice: stop eating junk food, sugar, sweeteners, caffeine, dairy, refined carbs and alcohol. The book is apparently militantly anti-meat, calling people who try to lose weight while eating meat morons and referring to the Atkins Diet as the rotting meat diet. It’s more an advertisement for vegetarianism than it is a diet book. There’s a joke in there somewhere about the authors being bitches because they aren’t eating junk food, sugar, dairy and alcohol, I’m sure…

Speaking of Brits and their diet plans, BBC sports announcer Gabby Logan has a plan for getting rid of the childhood obesity problem: banning junk food. Or, barring that, warning labels on junk food to the effect of “this food could make your child obese.” Logan, 34, is married to a former rugby player and is the mother of 22-month-old twins. She refuses to have junk food in the house and lost her baby weight (more than 50 pounds) in about three weeks without doing “anything special.” She says feed kids junk is “tantamount to child cruelty because you’re handicapping their development if you don’t feed them properly”…

Finally, another season of “American Idol” has come and gone, and last year’s Idol, Taylor Hicks, is showing off a trimmer physique. He’s lost 22 pounds since last year by cutting out fast food and fried chicken and eating lots of salads, brown rice, fish and chicken-noodle soup. He’s also running 45 minutes a day and using his performances as cardio. But he still cheats on nights he’s not performing, and his favorite indulgence is chocolate cake.

I just thought Taylor Hicks was big boned. :-) Hmm. I read some of the reviews of the book, some of the people said they lost "some" weight and that they weren't skinny bitches yet. I bet ya if they ate some meat they would be.

Taylor Hicks only lost 22 pounds? That before and after picture is amazing.. Looks like he lost way more. Hell, I lost 30 and my before and after don't look nearly as amazing, LOL. Anyway, I saw this book at Borders (yeah, its actually sold in the Diet/Nutrition section.. sadly) and picked it up to see what it was all about. C'mon, who wouldn't pick up a book called "Skinny Bitches" LOL, anyway, to me it was more of a book about humor, the ones where the higher class picks on the lower class or thinks they are better than everyone else, but its humorous and not overdone, anyway, that's how I took it, LOL.
