Millions of people are trying to lose weight both through conventional or even unconventional means. A survey by the CDC found that the percentage of Americans who are on a special diet to lose weight is higher by 17% compared to a decade ago. It’s no secret that weight loss has many benefits, such as improved self-esteem and better physical and mental health. These are the same reasons why celebrities have their own weight loss strategies to maintain their figures.

Countless celebrities advocate for different methods to lose weight fast, and these methods have become trends in their own right. People want their bodies to emulate those famous people who seem to have no problem getting in shape. Today, we’ll discuss four weight loss strategies made famous by celebrities.

1. Sirtfood Diet

Adele’s body transformation has been making headlines since she released her latest album, 25. The singer committed to losing weight after giving birth, thanks to her Sirtfood diet—a way of eating that focuses on foods that boost metabolism and burn fat—she was able to drop an impressive amount of weight in a short amount of time. She credits “sirtfoods” such as green tea, citrus fruit, parsley, kale, capers, blueberries, apples, and red wine for her current figure. This is based on research from University of Oxford doctors who found that certain foods can affect the body’s levels of sirtuins or proteins that help control blood sugar levels and regulate metabolism and inflammation.

2. WeightWatchers

Although crash diets and diet trends come and go, some programs have stood the test of time and have proven their effectiveness over the decades. WeightWatchers’ weight loss plans, with their focus on community support, goal-setting, and continued health education, have been around since the 1960s. The plans feature individualised programs that are fully customisable based on your lifestyle and food choices. Their mobile app lets you track your food intake and choose healthy items that fit your personal preferences and caloric budget. As a testament to their effectiveness, big-name celebrities such as Jennifer Hudson and Oprah Winfrey became ambassadors for WeightWatchers after achieving sustainable weight loss success from the programs.

3. Guardians of the Galaxy Workout Plan

Some celebrities like Henry Cavill have signature workouts to tone their body for their iconic superhero roles, some turn to exercise for extreme body transformations. Chris Pratt’s impressive 60-pound weight loss in six months surprised many of his fans. The Star-Lord’s chiseled abs and shredded muscles resulted from a carefully designed plan in collaboration with personal trainer Duffy Gaver and nutritionist Paul Goglia. Dubbed the “Guardians of the Galaxy Workout Plan,” his routine consisted of three hours a day of exercise targeting different muscle groups, with a few days of rest in between. This routine was coupled with a diet plan featuring an increased calorie and water intake to build mass that eventually would be converted into lean muscle. Pratt, who was once out of shape, has stuck to his new lifestyle and never looked back.

4. Intermittent Fasting

Intermittent fasting is one of the most manageable and widespread weight loss approaches. Vanessa Hudgens is one of Hollywood’s most famous intermittent fasters, having maintained her weight by using the method for years. A quick Google search will tell you that there are plenty of ways to do intermittent fasting, but Hudgens’ approach is one of the easiest: she simply fasts for 16 hours every day and then eats as usual during an eight-hour window. Other celebrities that practice this weight loss strategy include Jennifer Aniston, Halle Berry, and Kourtney Kardashian.

Many celebrities have found ways to lose weight that work for them and are now sharing their secrets. Losing weight is not easy, but with the proper research and consultation with medical professionals and nutritionists, you are bound to find a weight loss strategy that can be healthy and sustainable for you.
