Sarah Jessica Parker is a fan of The South Beach Diet and it seems to be working well for her! Here’s how you can follow the South Beach Diet (below).

There are 3 phases to the South Beach Diet Plan:

Phase 1 – 2 weeks of strictness: This happens over a 2 week period of time (and is the most strict part of the diet), where you only eat the following foods: eggs, reduced-fat cheese, beans, vegetables, nuts, and lean meat. Foods that are completely banned in phase one are: rice, bread, pasta, potatoes, fruit, sugar, and baked products.

Here is a typical day with meals during phase 1:

Breakfast: glass of V8 juice, and poached eggs with spinach
Lunch: low-fat feta in tuna salad
Dinner: fish fillet or chicken breast with steamed veggies
Snacks: celery with low fat cottage cheese, nuts
Drinks: water, herbal teas

Phase 2 – Slow liberation of meals: This phase allows you to slowly add whole grains and fruit to your diet plan. The idea is to monitor your weight loss after Phase 1, and gradually add in the amount of grains and fruits that you want to your diet, at a comfortable level. Phase 2 is meant to increase your carbohydrate intake while continuing to lose weight, or staying at a comfortable weight. If you start to gain weight during this phase, return to phase 1 for a short period of time, and then slowly transition back to phase 2.

Phase 3 – All your life: At this stage you are happy with the changes that phase 1 and phase 2 have made to your lifestyle. By this time you should be comfortable with the diet plan you are following, the weight you are maintaining, and the minimal cravings that you should be having. If you start to gain weight again, you can always change this by starting at Phase 1 again and going through the phases to try and return back to your ideal weight.

There are a number of weight loss diets trying to make their way in the world. One of the most successful diets today is the Zone Diet. This simple diet is a great way for anyone who needs to lose weight to do so in a healthy balanced way. This diet is proven over and over again and offers many other great advantages along with it.

Foods like low fat proteins, low glycemic-load carbohydrates found in fruits and vegetables, and heart healthy monounsaturated fats are suggested the most. The next step is to increase the amount of Omega 3 that you consume. This is a great anti-inflammatory fat that can help keep you feeling great. The Third step in the Zone diet is polyphenols, which are also an anti-inflammatory but are also a great anti-oxidant. This will help rid your body of unwanted and unneeded things. The next step is the physical fitness step. With only thirty minutes of moderate exercise six days a week, you can really help yourself become a healthier person. The fifth step in the Zone diet is supplementing. You may need to add some additional supplements to the Zone pyramid, depending on your conditions.

To celebrate the Sex and The City Movie (yayy it comes out on the 5th of June in Australia!) I am posting on my four on screen besties Starting with SJP of course! Is it lame that I feel like I am part of their friendship group?

Oh..it is?

Anyway back to Sarah Jessica Parker. I do believe I’ve already posted on her. The article can be found here.

Here’s a picture of the lovely and beautiful Sarah Jessica Parker at the New York premiere of The Sex and The City Movie.

We all envied Sarah Jessica Parker playing Carrie in Sex in the City. She had the gossipy friends, the cute boyfriends, the hot social life but most of all the amazing toned body! I know I was frothing her body in the scenes where she was in underwear. I’m not some sort of lesbian, I like looking at girls with good bodies (my own personal thinspiration). After a sex in the city marathon I’d be hitting in the gym for about 2 hours.

So how did she do it? Well we do know she follows the South Beach Diet, but as always….we go a little deeper than that! I’m sure you want to know how many calories she eats, how she works out, any little secrets she might have. And yes of course you can find them here.

Do me a favor, don’t just read it and think about it, if you are serious about making changes in your body, actually do it! Get up off your fat sorry ass and do something about it!

How Does Sarah Jessica Parker Workout?

She says she does ‘everyday exercise’ and admits that she struggles to put on weight (I wish I had this problem!). Here is what the star says about her skinny frame “I’m always trying to put weight on.” She added: “I’m an eater – and I love junk food. I’m going to wake up one day and I’ll be triple my size and I’ll say, ‘Ha, the joke’s on me!’”. She can have some of my weight if she’s that desperate.
