Celebrity Diet Profile: Sarah Jessica Parker


I saw the trailer for Sex and the City at the movies last night and I couldn't help but notice how skinny Sarah Jessica Parker is! She has always been slim, but seems to be losing more weight as the years go by.

According to reports she is 5'3 and weighs 100 pounds. I believe she may be slightly thinner than that.

Parker adheres to a low carb diet and it seems to be working for her! Though she has claimed in the past that she would love a voluptuous look, she doesn't seem to be trying too hard to gain weight. And despite criticizing other celebrity moms for trying to lose weight too quickly after giving birth, there's no baby fat anywhere on Sarah Jessica (source:starpulse).

What are Sarah Jessica Parker's secrets for staying slender?
1. She maintains to a high protein, low-carbohydrate diet, which helps curb the appetite. She has followed both the Zone and South Beach diet plans.
2. Sarah Jessica Parker limits her portion sizes at meals.
3. She's not afraid to leave some food on her plate when dining out (this reduces your risk of overeating).
4. She engages in a lot of non-intentional exercise. Rather than only going to the gym, she tries to walk as much as possible and avoid driving.

How can you adopt Sarah Jessica Parker's smart slimming style?
1. Learn portion control and stick to it:
A serving of protein is the size of a deck of cards.
A single serving of bread is about the size of a cassette tape (about 1/2 a slice of most breads).
A serving of pasta, rice or potatoes is about the size of a tennis ball.
2. Get more exercise--and not just at the gym! It's essential for raising your metabolism and keeping you strong.
