That’s what celebrities are currently gorging themselves on to maintain their figures even with their grueling schedules and lavish lifestyles. Most of these products work but as seen in many cases, obsession with beauty and add to that the strain of living under the ever present scrutiny of the public and pap’s can take its toll on life. Most shun the public eye and suffer greatly from criticism they often turn to Chinese herbalists who use time proven techniques of herbs and other medicinal plants. They are also capable of modifying their diets to the extent they not only get the figures they desire but maintain them. Being in the spotlight can be very demanding on the mind and body which necessitates these hidden cures, away from the public eye, getting them some peace of mind, sort of.

Fergie Does Vinegar Shots
We know Fergie of the Black Eyed Peas has both a strong & beautiful voice as well as a well toned and built body. But how does she maintain the weight despite a grueling tour schedule? According to a recent interview in Glamour Magazine she does Vinegar shots:
GLAMOUR: That’s good advice. Health-wise, is there anything else you do?
FERGIE: I do vinegar shots. It has to be organic apple cider, unfiltered.
GLAMOUR: You do a shot of it?
FERGIE: Two tablespoons. For some reason I’ve noticed a difference on my stomach. I just trusted [my trainer] on this one. I’m sharing. I’m all about sharing secrets. [Fergie's trainer, Natasha Kufa, told Glamour that she believes vinegar shots flush out fats in the colon, which helps the body digest food and gets rid of cravings.]

Be fit, be tight. Go kickboxing!
Kickboxing is popular nowadays amongst people who want to lose weight. It does not make use of the different eating strategies like veggie diet, “low-carb†consumption and the like (though some do this). The reason why people fall in love with this kind of “slimming†strategy is that, kickboxing promotes not only weight loss but it also makes the person healthy and fit. They say diet is nothing without exercise. Since kickboxing makes use of the whole body (i.e. the limbs, the torso, the shoulders), some followers of the sport claim that they have lost a total of 20 pounds for 2 months.

Zit busters.
Wait, is that a zit I’m seeing? A new, fresh zit? That will probably ruin your night out with the girls later. Don’t touch it. It might get bigger and inflamed due to the added bacteria from your hands. Jennifer Love Hewitt’s advise on eliminating zits on your face is a home remedy one—meaning, the materials needed for zit busting can be found right inside your cabinet: toothpaste that is.
Toothpaste has chemicals in it that helps the zit dry up. Hewitt claims that she applies the toothpaste on her zit just before she goes to bed. A warning though: don’t put excessive toothpaste on the zit as it might burn it. You wouldn’t want to have dark patches on your face, don’t you?
