Just how many slices of white bread, fried eggs, cheese and scoops of mayo do you need to be an Olympic gold medallist? Flipping loads, it turns out.
Enormous man-mountain, Michael Phelps, he of eight golds and counting fame, has shared his diet with the world. It makes for incredible reading, not least because it’s not much different to that of enormous teen-mountain, Georgia Davis.
Perhaps. According to the Daily Mail, which has got itself all hot and bothered about the latest really bad [definitely not silly season story] Apocalyptic craze sure to cause mass moral destruction to all four corners of, er, the Home Counties.
Mobiles ringing, tinny, happy house bubbling out of earphones, sweaty communal saddles and overt-grunting have all set gym-goers off on a Falling Down-style rampage.
Katie Price, aka Jordan, has been yakkering to Now Magazine about her skinny body and rapid weight loss. Apparently it’s not, repeat, not apple juice and ice cubes.
She rocked up in LA on Monday looking really bony and the respective onlookers were their usual shocked selves.
Children who are clumsy will exercise less and become obese in later life, says a new study.
The research began 50 years ago and found that kids who hand control and co-ordination were lacking, were more prone to weight gain as adults.
The legendary soul singer, Scientologist and South Park favourite was found dead at his Memphis home on Sunday, the cause of death has now been announced as stroke.
No autopsy was carried out but the cause of death was given as a stroke in the paperwork filed by the Hayes’ family doctor, who had been treating Isaac for high blood pressure.
This week’s question for our agony uncle, David Allen, is from Gavin, who hasn’t been able to quit uni-style boozing and soon turns 30.
Dear David,
While I was at Uni I used to drink socially along with everyone else. There was a pretty full-on drinking culture, in that we drank most nights (lots of cheap deals and two-for-ones in clubs) and then hair of the dog the next day.
The woman credited/blamed for Celebrity Size Zero fever, stylist Rachel Zoe, has ‘bravely’ allowed Harpers Bazaar to photoshop her from size zero to a size eight.
Gosh, imagine that, size eight. Imagine being so grossly, enormously fat. Wowee. Seeing those pictures was probably like, you know, her Road to Damascus moment or something.
Despite looking like a Dallas wig on an actual-size Barbie doll, Cheryl Cole is unhappy with her figure and is putting herself through a punishing schedule to look good for the new series of The X Factor.
According to Reveal magazine, she’s keeping to a strict diet and having regular sessions with a personal trainer so she looks tip-top.
We don’t mind bitching about pampered, preening A-listers caught with hairy toes or a big, lumpy backside, but when it’s someone we like, we feel bad.
So we’re going to try not to use mean words to describe Lucy “Dawn from The Office” Davis, who has gained weight, like, quite a lot, due to (according to the NotW), marriage problems.
So does this mean normal water is fattening?!
According to the Daily Mail, ‘marketing men’ (grr, those jerks again) say that the new product, Skinny Water, is made to suppress hunger and fight fat.
But the exact skinny science behind all those is a bit more woolly. In other words, no clinical trials have been carried out.
Seriously? 33 stone. In 15 years. That’s over two stone a year on average, and for a few of those years she was a baby and toddler.
We’re all for understanding, but this is pretty inexplicable. And yes, there are reasons why some people put more weight on than others, there is such a thing as puppy fat and there have always been podgy kids. But 33 stone?
Breaking news: Amy Winehouse is not, at the time of going to press, on the brink of death. As recently as yesterday, she was frolicking on a beach in the sun like an actual human.
The troubled singer-songwriter (where “troubled” is an euphemism for ‘we expect her to be found dead in a ditch any second’) spent Sunday on a beach in St. Lucia. We thought she was in rehab in London, but OK.
So far, her latest stint in treatment doesn’t seem to have done Wino any harm; splashing around in a pair of bikini bottoms, she’s distinctly less skeletal and has clearly undergone the process that the Daily Mail refers to as “packing on the pounds” and we at DietPixie call “starting to consume something other than crack”.
Amy has also reportedly started working out for two hours a day - and it seems ‘working out’ is not just code for ‘rolling around on the floor, clawing at the walls and screaming for drugs/booze/Blake’. She has apparently hired a personal trainer and “bounds in to work out on the bikes, weights and Power Plate”.
On the one hand, I’m pleased to see Amy looking a bit more human and actually smiling for a change. On the other hand, things have got pretty bad if Amy freaking Winehouse spends more time in the gym than I do. Who am I supposed to use now as my ‘it could be worse’ person? “It could be worse, you could be Amy Winehouse.” It’s not going to work if she’s running around on Caribbean beaches, now is it?
Still, there’s always Britney.
