We all know Alicia loves her dogs, but who would have thought she would have this type of relationship with them??? That’s right, Alicia’s nutrition coach seems to be her dog! She claims that she actually taught her dog to train HER not to midnight snack. She trained her dog to bark on command when she opened the fridge after dark and told him to “speak” and then would reward him with a treat. Eventually, he started to run to the fridge and bark when he saw her heading there, which served as a reminder not to snack.

A clever trick to say the least! However, I think if a dog barked at me every time I opened the fridge, my neighbours would start to complain!

P.S. Alicia Silverstone is a vegetarian. Check out other vegetarian celebrities.

Christie Brinkley finds that keeping a food journal helps to to take charge of her eating habits and ultimately her weight.

 There’s no real mystery about this: when you must write down everything that goes in your mouth, it forces you to realize exactly how many calories you consume through out the day. Keeping a journal is also beneficial because you can find patterns in your eating.

For example if you become ravenous at a certain time of the day everyday or if your meals and snacks are spaced too far apart. It can also be helpful to note your frame of mind you are in when you eat or even mention the circumstances. If you begin eating as soon as you get home from work it could indicate a stressful job or it could mean it’s simply just been too long since lunch. A basic food journal will require you to enter the food you ate, number of calories, amount of fat, and how much you consumed.

Throughout the ups and downs of Christie’s relationships in particular, the stress is bound to take toll on her body sometimes. This journal helps her to see her eating patterns, and hopefully her latest divorce doesn’t end her up on the coach eating cookies all night! But with a food journal you’re sure to catch patterns of emotional eating like that, and prevent yourself from eating for the wrong reasons in the future. You’d be suprised at how many of us do it!

To download a free food diary go to Smartcalorie (online diary) or Mealsmatter has a good one too (pdf printout version).

Keira Knightley may be young, gorgeous and slim, but the 22-year-old hates her bum so much that she had body double for Domino because she thinks it’s too big! The super-slender actress told Glamour magazine, “Believe me, I have a J-Lo bum!”

O.k. this lady obviously has serious self esteem issues. If she’s a J-lo bum then what is the rest of the world?? Goodness gracious, this is not the type of role model we want for our children is it? No wonder why Hollywood is such a death trap for eating disorders, and why our children are following in their footsteps. The glitz and glamour of hollywood is all too appealing to young minds and when Keira Knightley makes a comment like this about herself, she’s setting unrealistic expectations for other young women her age. Keira Knightly has been known to be so self obsessed about her body weight and type that she won’t eat anything but breakfast. She has a big breakfast and nothing else. Why just breakfast? Because she figures that by the days end she will have burnt off all the calories from breakfast and won’t have to worry about gaining weight. Well this also goes to show why she has very little muscle mass as well. Shes running herself down because shes simply not eating enough. Keira you’re beautiful, with or without a J-lo butt! Stop the insanity!!! Dailystrength.org has a friendly community that specializes in eating disorders. *for legal purposes please note we are not implying that Keira has or has ever had an eating disorder.

Nicole Richie is finally eating, she says! This is good for her and baby…and even though shes eating for two, she says she going to do her best to eat junk food in moderation to keep her post-preg weight normal. She also says that she never lets herself get hungry. This way she wont end up binging on the high calorie carbs and junk food she loves so much.

Keeping yourself nourished and hydrated throughout the day will keep baby happy, and mom to be will be less likely to binge. I’m happy to hear that Nicole’s one meal a day diet she was on previous to her pregnancy is a thing of the past.

Hopefully she can keep her new eating habits, as the never let yourself get hungry diet trick is a good way to feel satisfied 24/7 and keep your weight under control by never letting yourself get hungry which always ends up in overeating. When you always have calories to burn, your body won’t try to “hold” on to the fat. That’s why its a good idea for everyone, and not just pregnant women.
