Has she always been this thin or is it the travelling and the fame thats causing Taylor to lose weight?

In her latest video from Australia and Japan she appears extremely thin. She travels with her mum though so Im sure she would be taking care of Taylor and making sure that she eats. It must just be all the performing and rehearsing. She doesnt look bad or anything, just incredibly tiny!

Us magazine recently talked to Jessica Biel’s personal trainer Jason Walsh to garner some workout tips.

I list these here not so you can try and be Jessica Biel – but because the advice is very interesting.

Note: points 6-10 are from Jerry Owens (personal trainer of Rachel McAdams). Emphasis added.

  1. Mix it up
    “I’m a big advocate of recreational sports and stuff. If someone can get out there, even if it’s a hike or something like that, just to break up the monotony of going to the gym…I really like that.”
  2. Full body exercises
    “We do full body movements. You are pretty much using as many muscles at once, which in turn will jack that heart rate up.”
  3. Food choices
    “really organic and clean foods, all natural, like nuts.” Also, “an amino acid drink, so that you’re not burning up a lot of your muscle, or protein.”
  4. Medicine ball
    “Get a medicine ball and do a lunge with a twist while you are holding the ball. Those are great. You are activating so many muscles at once, and you are using those muscles over so many different plains.”
  5. Diet
    “Breakfast would be whole grain bread French toast with egg whites and cinnamon. For a mid-morning snack, they’d do a mixed-berry protein shake. Lunch might be sweet potato tuna melt. An afternoon snack might be hummus with celery sticks. Dinner would be spaghetti and meatballs with spaghetti squash and meatballs made of turkey or chicken breast.”
  6. On Yoga and Pilates
    “Those are great forms of exercise for stability and balance, but neither one of those is going to change your body dramatically like training with weights does.”
  7. Fats
    “The biggest problem is that people are fat phobic. It’s clinically proven that we need healthy fat in our diets. You need to eat a balanced diet but not be afraid of fat, like Omega 3 fatty acids like walnuts, olive oil and even coconut oil.”
  8. Weight loss and “toning up”
    “blend nutrition, exercise, and physical therapy. The body responds better. People get too wrapped up in doing isolated movement, like being very body part specific.”
  9. On Cardio
    “People get too cardio-crazy and need to do more weight lifting,” says Owens. He explains that for many people on elliptical machines, “their heart Rate is about the same as if they were shopping around a mall.”
  10. Rest and recovery
    “take one to two days off a week: have a massage, make sure you get plenty of rest. The muscles actually change when they’re recovering.”

Myth 1
Low-fat or no-fat diets are good for you.

Fact
Leading dietician Lyndel Costain says: ‘People tend to think they need a low-fat diet to lose weight, but you should still have a third of your calories coming from fat.’
The body needs fat for energy, tissue repair and to transport vitamins A, D, E and K around the body.
Lyndel Costain adds: ‘As a guideline, women need 70g of fat a day (95g for men) with 30g as the minimum (40g for men).
‘There’s no need to follow a fat-free diet. Cutting down on saturated fats and eating unsaturated fats, found in things like olive oil and avocados, will help.’

Myth 2
Crash dieting or fasting makes you lose weight.

Fact
This may be true in the short term, but ultimately it can hinder weight loss.
Claire MacEvilly, a nutritionist at the MRC Human Nutrition Research Centre in Cambridge, explains: ‘Losing weight over the long term burns off fat. Crash dieting or fasting not only removes fat but also lean muscle and tissue.’
The loss of lean muscle causes a fall in your basal metabolic rate – the amount of calories your body needs on a daily basis.
This means your body will need fewer calories than it did previously, making weight gain more likely once you stop dieting.
It’s also why exercise is recommended in any weight-loss plan to build muscle and maintain your metabolic rate.
Claire MacEvilly adds: ‘Fasting can also make you feel dizzy or weak so it’s much better to try long-term weight loss.’

Myth 3
Food eaten late at night is more fattening.
Fact
Many diets tell you not to eat after a certain time in the evening. They say the body will store more fat because it is not burned off with any activity.
A study at the Dunn Nutrition Centre in Cambridge suggests otherwise.
Volunteers were placed in a whole body calorimeter, which measures calories burned and stored.

They were fed with a large lunch and small evening meal for one test period, then a small lunch and large evening meal during a second test period.
The results revealed the large meal eaten late at night did not make the body store more fat.
It’s not when you eat that’s important, but the total amount you consume in a 24-hour period.

Lyndel Costain adds: ‘It is true that people who skip meals during the day, then eat loads in the evening are more likely to be overweight than those who eat regularly throughout the day. ’This may be because eating regular meals helps people regulate their appetite and overall food intake.’
