The essence of the paleo diet is that you eat like a caveman, eating only those foods that were available to our ancestors in the Paleolithic era - a lot of meat, fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds. At the same time, avoid modern foods - processed grains and legumes, dairy products, salt and sugar. The logic is that historically the human body was designed for completely different food than the one we eat today. Followers of this diet believe that consuming more healthy fats instead of processed and gluten-rich foods can improve health.

This nutritional system is based on maintaining alkaline balance in the body. All products have two environments: alkaline or acidic. “Acidic” foods provoke the body to lose important minerals such as potassium, magnesium, calcium, sodium, which leads to diseases. While alkaline food, on the contrary, neutralizes this acid, restoring the natural pH environment. The theory behind the alkaline diet is that our diet should be approximately 65% alkaline and 35% acidic. “Sour” foods include meat, fish, seafood, milk, flour, sweets; alkaline - raw fruits, vegetables, juices. As for fruits, you can eat apples, citrus fruits, peaches, nectarines, apricots, bananas, melons and berries (black currants, grapes, watermelon). Mushrooms are allowed, and vegetables include cabbage, carrots, eggplants, zucchini, zucchini, turnips, beets and broccoli. But you will have to give up corn and asparagus. Among animal products, it is allowed to occasionally eat beef, lamb and veal, as well as turkey and chicken. Duck and goose are prohibited due to their high cholesterol content. In addition to these products, you can include small amounts of buckwheat, millet, honey, and almonds in your diet.
ANNA SEDOKOVA
Anna Sedokova includes buns and alcohol in her diet
Although fans adore the singer, they have not trusted her weight loss methods for a long time. And no wonder - Anna’s experience in losing excess weight can hardly be called successful. After the birth of her daughter Monica, the star went on a diet consisting of porridge and salads, but ended up gaining several kilograms. Two years ago, the artist managed to regain her former slimness, but soon haters again began to discuss her plump figure. The story with the star’s photographs also turned into a scandal: on the microblog, Anna’s body looked perfect, but then the same pictures without Photoshop appeared on the Internet, demonstrating cellulite on the celebrity’s buttocks.

In recent months, the singer has been desperately looking for a suitable way to lose weight. While on vacation in Greece, she developed her own daily routine and nutritional plan, which her subscribers dubbed the “alcoholic” diet.
“I have developed an ideal system regarding my position in life. You need to please yourself, pamper yourself with a glass of champagne or a delicious bun. My ideal time to workout is early in the morning. You feel like such a good girl that you want to praise yourself and love yourself,” Anna reasoned.
Anna Sedokova hardly manages to limit herself in food, but she does not miss training.
Most users said that Sedokova’s advice clearly will not bring either her subscribers or herself closer to her cherished dream of being slim. “During the diet, you should refrain from alcohol and baked goods, and not have them for breakfast after training, promoting a strange lifestyle. Alcohol diet,” fans were indignant.
The singer also adheres to the system of intermittent fasting, in which you cannot eat for 16 hours, but you can fit two or three meals into the next eight. This method has long gained popularity in America, but has contraindications. Thus, such a nutritional schedule will be harmful for people with ulcers and other stomach diseases, pregnant and nursing mothers. Otherwise, intermittent fasting is not a diet, but rather a way of life that helps to correctly distribute calories throughout the day.
SAMPLE DIET FOR AN ALKALINE DIET
Breakfast:

Dinner:

Confronting your own temptations
A piece of cake or pizza captured by the paparazzi in the hands of a star is expensive, both literally and figuratively, unless it is an advertisement for your own restaurant. Otherwise, sarcastic comments on social networks and the press are guaranteed.
There are, of course, star divas who claim that they cannot deny themselves grilled delicacies, soda and cakes, and have never held dumbbells in their hands, but it’s hard to believe that they owe their figure solely to their parents and good mood.
Lady Gaga, for example. He does not hide the fact that he eats everything that is prohibited by nutritionists: grilled chicken, sushi, sweets. In one interview, she even stated that the preparation of the Born This Way album was accompanied by a “diet” of energy drinks and Snickers.
Where does the gorgeous body that the outrageous Gaga demonstrates with all her might come from?
The fact of the matter is that provocative dancing is on stage, and sweat in three streams is in the gym. How else? Do you want to star in the horror movie American Horror Story? Welcome to the strong hands of personal trainer Harley Pasternak, who has put more than one stellar body in order.
Strength training complements yoga classes. The extravagant singer has already boasted on Instagram about her ability to do perfect stretches and pump up her muscles.
Typically, a workout for a lover of extravagant outfits lasts two hours.

Keto diet: Kim Kardashian, Alec Baldwin, Kobe Bryant, Miley Cyrus
“The purpose of dieting is to change the source of fuel for our body and brain. Due to the fact that an insufficient amount of carbohydrates enters the body, the body begins to process fat and use it for energy and brain activity,” says Nadya Andreeva. That is, instead of carbohydrates, the body begins to use ketones to get energy, due to which weight loss occurs. This diet has fairly strict restrictions: only 25-50 g of carbohydrates per day.
Pros: supporting normal brain function, getting rid of imbalances in blood sugar levels, completely avoiding fast food, adding a lot of healthy fats to your diet.
Disadvantages: dangerous for people with significant excess weight, long adaptation period (1-2 weeks) with loss of strength, brain fog, constipation may occur, problems with hormonal balance in women, often a person experiences nausea during a diet.
When switching to such a diet plan, some social problems may arise. “So, the choice of products that can be ordered in a restaurant will come down to a green salad with olive oil and a very small piece of meat, poultry or fish,” explains Nadya Andreeva. “This can lead to dieters trying to diversify their diet by consuming excess amounts of animal fats such as lard, cheese or bacon, and this will cancel out the anti-inflammatory effect of the diet.”
Acceptable option: If you decide to go on a ketogenic diet and increase the percentage of fats in your diet, be sure to make sure the quality of these fats. For example, avocados, nuts, eggs from grass-fed chickens, olive oil, coconut oil. Be sure to drink enough water and eat plenty of greens. By the way, according to experts, cardio exercises during a keto diet can be harder, so it is better to limit them or replace them with short cardio exercises or strength exercises.
“You need to understand that the ketogenic diet is based on a high content of proteins and fats and can only be indicated for those patients whose weight gain occurs due to impaired carbohydrate metabolism,” explains Natalya Artemyeva, nutritionist, fitness testing specialist at the federal network of fitness clubs. X-Fit. “Now it’s easy to find out by taking tests for nutritional genes and several indicators of a biochemical blood test. If, when switching to this diet, you feel weak, unwell, or tremors (involuntary vibration of body parts), then it is better to increase the level of carbohydrates and look for another way to lose weight.”
Minus 3 kg in 7 days
According to Megan, she is a woman prone to being overweight. During pregnancy, I gained 20 kg because I didn’t deny myself anything. “I ate what I wanted! And steak at 2 a.m., and sandwiches... I didn’t understand at all how difficult it would be to lose those extra pounds later,” the actress admits in her interviews. To get back into shape, a special diet based on mozzarella was developed for Fox. The actress begins each meal with a small ball of mozzarella - this cheese contains a special protein that starts the process of breaking down fats.
General information
Dietary nutrition is very important in the career of every actress or actor, any artist and TV presenter. It allows you to always be in shape so that you can be on set at any time and not worry about your appearance. That is why stars use systems based on the principles of proper nutrition, actively engage in sports and choose effective methods for rapid weight loss. At the same time, they manage to develop their own methods that help them out in difficult situations.
All star diets for permanent use are based on the following rules:
- Systematic examination and consultation with a doctor and nutritionist is necessary to maintain health;
- Meals should be split and in small portions, and the last meal (dinner) should be taken no later than 7 pm;
- Drinking regime is mandatory (at least two liters of liquid (still water, green tea) per day);
- It is necessary to completely exclude fried and fatty foods, sweets and confectionery, meat and dairy with a high fat content from the diet;
- It is recommended to give up bad habits, and reduce the frequency of drinking alcohol and its volume;
- If you reduce the consumption of salt and other spices and seasonings, water in the body will no longer be retained and the body will get rid of edema and constant weight gain in the morning;
- Rest and good sleep are very important for well-being and appetite.
The diet menu should consist only of low-calorie foods.
In this case, it is necessary to exercise regularly (at least three times a week), and also strictly adhere to the chosen diet.
1.5 kg in 7 days
Actress Charlize Theron is getting married to Sean Penn in August. In order to look luxurious in a wedding dress, the actress is now on fractional meals. She eats 6 times a day, preferring pasta with tomato sauce and ricotta, grilled vegetables, and fruit salads. Charlize has dinner at 5 pm. Bread, red meat and seafood are strictly prohibited, as are snacks - you can only drink mineral water between meals. However, such a diet allows the actress to sometimes indulge herself with sweets - her favorite pistachio ice cream. And gym classes, which she doesn’t like, successfully replace long walks with dogs, bike rides and dancing.
Listen to your body
Those who are fond of gastronomic parties are not allowed near fashion magazines and shows. Plus-size models don't count. The girls don't look like standard runway sized models. The majority of celebrity ladies are still trying to get closer to the coveted 90-60-90. Not everyone inherited a slim figure, so many stars undergo intensive training under the strict gaze of a personal trainer almost every day.
The natural characteristics of stars are just as susceptible to the influence of time as those of ordinary people, but showbiz workers are distinguished by the fact that for the sake of a great goal they know how to work hard to keep their body in decent shape.
The main thing in this matter is a properly selected individual set of physical exercises and a balanced diet.
And in this case, a strict diet does not save the situation. More precisely, if for the opening ceremony of a film festival you need to “fit into” a new outfit that does not involve folds on the body, then you can use Beyoncé’s diet, based on detox lemonade, when for a short time (just a few days) the main “food” is lemonade, which is a mixture of:
- freshly squeezed lemon juice;
- distilled water;
- maple syrup;
- Cayenne pepper.
In the morning, in this case, you need to drink a glass of salted water, and end the day with a cup of tea with a laxative effect. In addition to lemonade, still water and green tea are allowed.
The not-at-all-skinny Beyoncé took advantage of such a strict diet before filming the film “Dreamgirls,” where she portrayed a skinny singer. With the help of “special lemonade,” the actress and dancer lost a record amount of weight: 9 kg “melted” in two weeks.
Not everyone can handle the Big Cleanse, so listen to your body before you try. People with kidney, liver, stomach and heart diseases are better off avoiding the cruel lemonade diet.
To get the effect you need (a slim figure for a long time), it will be enough to put your own diet in order without canceling your fitness routine.
