How to lose weight after 45, tips from the stars
The ideal figure will not appear by itself. Especially at that age.
What do J. Lo, Naomi Campbell, Kate Beckinsale, Amanda Holden have in common (besides, of course, they are all world celebrities)? The answer is simple: they are all over 40, but their figures are better than those of many young ones. In Hollywood, they and several other celebrities are called “club 18-40”. The face and neck give out real age, but the bodies may well belong to 18-year-old girls. And it’s not just about genetics.
“The price for joining the 18-40 club is sometimes just hellish,” – once said the columnist of glossy magazines Sarah Vine. Indeed, in youth, you can starve for a couple of days or go to yoga several times – and you are a fit beauty. Over the years, keeping yourself in shape is more and more difficult. How do those beauties cope with this? Wday.ru found out what kind of torment they go to for the sake of an ideal figure.
We understand why Kate loves taking selfies in a swimsuit so much. You have to show the world the result of the hard work that you do every day on your body. Beckinsale admitted that she had never drunk a whole glass of wine in her life – a maximum of a couple of sips. Kate also gave up sugar a long time ago.
For a long time, the actress was a staunch vegetarian, but a few years ago, a trainer recommended that she include at least poultry and fish in her diet. The figure turned out to be more important than the principles, and Kate began to eat meat.
In the Beckinsale gym, he works out every day, seven days a week. And the harder the better: “I do circuit training, alternating jogging exercises on a mechanical (not electric, as we are used to) track. This is a real torture, and sometimes it seems to me that I can’t bear it for a second ”.
The singer, pianist and model is now wearing the 42nd Russian clothing size. But before, she barely fit into the 50th. Somehow Mylin admitted that at one of the performances she had to slowly unbutton too tight jeans, because they mercilessly squeezed her stomach. She lost weight with the help of severe dietary restrictions. And he still hates the word “diet”.
“I will not use this word. I won’t even call Diet Coke by name – in my house it is called DC, ”she says. And last year, Maylene launched her own 12-week home workout plan for fans, which includes boxing and cardio.
This TV presenter is called the queen of push-ups – she can easily push-ups more than 50 times on a bet. Exercise has become a real therapy for her since her divorce from her husband four years ago. The pain from the rupture subsided, but the habit of going to the gym remained. The mother of two still regularly engages in resistance training, does not eat bread or dairy products, and prefers a high-protein diet.
Gwyneth has tried all the weirdest diets and fitness programs on herself. She always said that for the sake of beauty she was ready to try anything: from mushroom spores to crazy smoothies with mysterious “moon dust”. In general, we would not advise repeating Paltrow’s diet, but her current training is quite logical and useful. Gwyneth does 45 minutes of cardio and 45 minutes of strength training five days a week under the supervision of a trainer. And if she has a premiere or an important event, she increases her classes to two hours a day, six days a week.
Her desire for eternal youth played a cruel joke on her – she got rid of the consequences of unsuccessful beauty injections for a long time. But the body of the actress is flawless. But Amanda puts in a lot of effort: she hires the best trainers, runs outside every day in any weather, and is a vegan.
The supermodel has stayed at the same weight for over 20 years, all thanks to a vegetarian diet. Naomi is a big fan of the juice diet (when you drink only fruit and vegetable juices during the day). She undergoes serious detox programs three times a year. During one of them, for example, the model sits on a cocktail of maple syrup, cayenne pepper, lemon juice and water. In addition, Campbell trains daily, boxing and pilates and running marathons.
Since 2013, the singer has given up meat, becoming a pescatarian. She ate fish and shellfish, but did not touch chicken or beef. And recently she switched to strict vegetarianism. “We now know that fish can contain plastics, metals, industrial chemicals, so this is no longer a healthy choice,” said Alisha.
The star, among other things, works three times a week with a personal trainer, doing strength exercises, yoga and cardio.
The actress from A Beautiful Mind, The Hulk and Requiem for a Dream, who has three children, is rightfully proud of her slender, toned legs. She runs 16 to 20 km four times a week and says, “All I need to keep in shape is a pair of sneakers.” Jennifer also does yoga. When it comes to diet, the star beauty prefers vegetables, beans, grains, fish, nuts, and fruits.
Bond Girl works hard to withstand the ravages of time. Main prohibitions: no alcohol, sugar and caffeine. But otherwise she eats what she wants: “I don’t see any difference between breakfast and lunch. I had shepherd’s pie in the morning. Or sometimes fried fish and vegetables. “
From workouts, Naomi practices gyrotonia – a mixture of yoga, Pilates and tai chi, and also swims a lot.
The real fitness fanatic trains four times a week – a mix of strength training, barbell training, spinning (stationary bike racing), boxing and Pilates. Without giving herself a moment to relax, Melanie follows a strict diet, avoiding sugar, dairy, gluten, alcohol and caffeine. And he allows himself a cheat meal once a year – for his birthday.
Jennifer Lopez constantly disappears in the gym and exhausts herself with strength training. And recently, realizing that intense exercise alone is not enough for a perfect figure, Jennifer decided to try a new diet on herself: 10 days without carbohydrates and sugar.
“It turned out to be more difficult than I thought,” she wrote on Instagram. – By spending 24 hours a day without sugar and carbs, I am learning a lot about what sugar does to the body, and I want to stay away from it. But when you don’t eat carbohydrates, you feel insanely hungry. ” Now Jennifer is filling her diet with new dishes. This is not only meat, but also raw vegetables, canned tuna, sugar-free jelly.
In spite of everything, the star is determined not only to continue this food experiment, but also in the future to refuse harmful products as much as possible.
