It’s all well and good to get the inside info on Charlotte Church’s home gym or what type of fruit we should eat to get a flatter stomach, but isn’t it more useful and refreshing to hear how real women diet?
Many of us juggle high-pressure jobs and a busy home life, with barely a second to even think about going to the gym.
Katy O’Hara, 21, from York, tells us how she stays in shape.
New research in Australia has found that breast cancer can be prevented for some women who take part in physical activity.
The report amalgamated results from over 60 studies that looked at the link between breast cancer and exercise. The results were resoundingly positive, with the most physically active women reducing their risk of breast cancer by an impressive 25%.
Recent reports have stated that over half of adults with diabetes in the US have also got arthritis, which has led to the unsurprising conclusion that diabetes patients are less likely to partake in exercise.
It’s the ultimate Catch 22 situation, as diabetes sufferers could well use exercise to improve their condition and general health. Exercise is also know to stop the onset of diabetes, as it can help with weight control.

We asked student Jess McCarrick, 20, from Stockton-on-Tees, about diet, fitness and health.
Elderly people who undertake cardiovascular exercise, such as jogging or running, increase the risk of blood clots that lead to serious complications.
The new study, in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, warns against intense workouts, but highlights the importance of light exercise in order to keep older people fit.
There has previously been confusion over the effects of strenuous exercise on the elderly, especially with regards to blood clots and the related ailment, thrombosis.
How far would you go in the pursuit of physical perfection?
Would you wash your hair in animal semen, eat placenta, or scrub your face with bird poo - just to make yourself look a little better?
No!? Well, even if you wouldn’t, there are plenty of people who would. In fact, there is a whole industry dedicated to such odd treatments.
You don’t have to spend hours on the treadmill or go on a punishing diet to start getting into shape.
The road to better health can start with adding simple things into your daily routine - like chewing your food longer, taking deeper breaths and cutting down on how much alcohol you thrown down your neck.
Ok, the last one is not that simple. DietPixie’s writers have always been partial to the odd drink - or seven!
Most women have problems with their ‘muffin top’, that unsightly tyre of flab that rests smugly atop our jeans - a constant reminder of the family-sized bag of Maltesers we ate just after lunch.
Unfortunately, flab manages to squeeze its way out in other places. Hands up if you’ve got a fat back? Yes, it sounds strange, but if you’re storing excess fat on your back, it will spill over the edges of a tight top - a second muffin top, if you will.
She’ll be Mrs Wayne Rooney in less than two months’ time, so DietPixie’s favourite celebrity shape Coleen McLoughlin is working on trimming her tum for the big day.
The 22 year-old Scouser is reportedly marrying Rooney in an unsurprisingly flash do in the south of France. She’s also rumoured to be having a ’second’ wedding in England, as well as two hen dos to boot.
With her enviable figure we’re sure she’ll make a cracking bride, but Weight Watchers fan Coleen is taking no chances and has been following a special fitness plan with her personal trainer.
Jackie Warner, the star of the US hit TV show Work It Out, wants to help perennial waster Britney Spears to turn her life around.
“She needs someone who will do more than put her through a routine,” says Warner. “She needs a life coach, and I consider myself to more of a life coach than a trainer. She would love me and hate me. We’d be a great match.”
In an exclusive interview with fancast.com’s celebrity blogger Todd Gold, Jackie Warner shared her thoughts on troubled Britney and offered some sound advice.
Geri Halliwell is really annoying. OK, we all know that.
But apparently, the Spice Girl has found a new way to annoy people - apart from simply being Geri Hailliwell that is - and it’s driving her new boyfriend nuts.
It’s her alleged obsession with fitness and exercise. Apparently, Ginger Spice goes through a punishing two-hour daily workout every day to stay in shape.
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.
