Jessica Simpson's Weight Loss Failures and Successes

There are so many roads to weight loss. Permanent or otherwise, weight gain can creep up on you while weight loss can come at the most unexpected times. Some people handle stress with food and some just don't have that need to eat. Jessica Simpson a recent new mom and weight loss achiever of over 60 pounds was caught showing off her new body during this year's Halloween season.

Kudos to you Jessica Simpson for beating that rough road that so many women struggle through after having a baby. Many women find themselves in a place of desperation after their once beautiful body becomes stretched and tired. Many women don't find the strength or the desire to move forward into something better, weight loss takes work and people who tell you otherwise are not dealing with the underlying problems.

Here is an example of Jessica Simpson's daily regimen (per the Examiner) that has caught the media's eye:

Her daily weight-loss diet and workout program typically consists of the following:

7 a.m. - Jessica wakes up and feeds Maxwell, then has breakfast: half a flat-bread sandwich with egg whites, peppers and fat-free cheddar

8 a.m. - Simpson walks up to an hour a day, trying to get at least 14,000 steps on her pedometer. Afterward: a snack of berries, bananas, melon or grapefruit.

11 a.m. - Four days a week, Simpson works out for 45 minutes with a trainer doing a combination of cardio and circuit-training exercises such as dumbbell triceps extensions, hamstring curls and crunches with a medicine ball.

1 p.m. - Jessica eats lunch of spinach salad with 4 ounces of chicken satay and pear.

2 p.m. Simpson walks again outside or on the treadmill, then has a berry smoothie.

6:30 p.m. Dinner of fish (4 ounces of halibut or tilapia) with roasted eggplant, broccoli or asparagus. Low-fat ice cream for dessert.

10 p.m. Bedtime.

The media is so hard on movie stars and women in general, high expectations of always being beautiful and catching them at that glorious moment when they let their hair down must really be stressful. But just like the normal everyday Joe's life, weight loss takes discipline. Including mental discipline, deciding what and what you do not want to have in your life and in your thoughts can help you succeed and push through to your goals. 

"I have to separate myself from the world's expectations," she said, "I have to look inside myself. I'm not a supermodel...I just wanna be a better version of myself." - Jessica Simpson -

Paula Deen Cuts the Fat, 250 Favorite Recipes All Lightened Up, Exclusive: 7-Layer Molded Salad from PaulaDeen.com

This version of the seven-layer salad is cool and creamy and crunchy and chewy. Sometimes I make my molded salads with vegetables, but I decided to make this one chock-full of sweet, yummy fruit. And what a wise decision it was.

Ingredients

2 packages (0.3 ounces each) regular or sugar-free lemon gelatin

2 cups boiling water, plus 1 ½ cups cold

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

½ cup drained mandarin orange segments

¼ cup coarsely chopped walnuts

2 tablespoons raisins

1 banana, peeled and sliced

2 tablespoons chopped dried apricots

1 can (8 ounces) crushed pineapple, drained well

1 cup cottage cheese

Directions:

In a medium heatproof bowl, mix the gelatin with the boiling water until completely dissolved. Stir in the cold water and lemon juice. Refrigerate, covered, until the gelatin is just wiggly but not firmed up (like loose jelly), about 1 hour.

Spoon ½ cup of the gelatin into a 6-cup mold. Arrange the orange segments over the top and cover with another ½ cup gelatin. Scatter the walnuts and raisins on top and cover with another ½ cup gelatin. Next, layer the banana and apricots on top of the gelatin.

In a small bowl, fold 1 cup of the gelatin into the crushed pineapple and spoon evenly over the banana layer. Fold the cottage cheese into the remaining 1 cup gelatin and spoon over the pineapple layer. Refrigerate until firm, about 4 hours or overnight. Unmold and serve.

Serves 8

Developed by smell and taste expert Dr. Alan Hirsh, the theory behind Sensa's Sprinkle Diet is that your senses are all connected. 

Biography

"Dr. Alan Hirsch, a Neurologist and Psychiatrist who specializes in the treatment of smell and taste loss, is the Neurological Director of the Smell & Taste Treatment and Research Foundation in Chicago, IL. He is a Faculty Member in the Department of Medicine at Mercy Hospital and Medical Center, and Assistant Professor in the Department of Neurology and Department of Psychiatry at Rush Presbyterian St. Luke's Medical Center.

Since being accepted into medical school at the age of 16, Dr. Hirsch's career has been dedicated to studying the sensory system of the human body. He lectures frequently around the country, and has conducted and published over 180 research studies on sensory phenomena. His 20-plus years of research regarding the impact of smell and taste on weight loss led him to develop the patent-pending technology used in the Sensa Weight-Loss System.

As America's foremost researcher on the effects of odors and flavors on human emotion, mood and behavior, Dr. Hirsch has helped create the sensory experiences for thousands of products and places, from the refreshing fragrance of your favorite shampoo to the welcoming scent in a hotel lobby. In fact, there's an excellent chance that at least once in the past four days, you've come in contact with a product or place he's helped to odorize!

Dr. Hirsch has been featured in major magazines and has appeared on Dateline NBC, CNN, Good Morning America, Extra and the Food Network." Excerpt, Amazon 2021.

Matthew McConaughey: Why would the fit & attractive Matthew lose 30lbs?

Matthew McConaughey was recently caught with a physique nothing like the hot and sexy Matthew that we are all so used too. Once voted by People Magazine as the sexiest man of the year, what would make him drop an incredible 30lbs? Film of course, a new film in which McConaughey starred in in 2013.

Image courtesy of: insider.com

How did he do it?
When asked what weight loss method he used for loosing so much weight, well not eating was the answer. In what seems like a trend in the movie industry for absolute devotion to their work; discipline, coaches and maybe no food around probably helped out a bit. But don't get any bright anorexic ideas there are better ways to losing weight than starving yourselves.

He had mission though, and hopefully does not plan to stay that thin, because although some men look good thin he looks better tan and built! Stay tuned next year for "The Dallas Buyer's Club".
