Q. Hi Fitz! How come all of the celebrities are so skinny? There has to a be a secret in L.A. which we just haven’t heard about yet here in Texas. I see that you work with celebrities a lot. Any insight? I don’t want to be famous…I just want to be thinner. Thanks in advance, Rachel
A. Great question Rachel. Of course, not all celebrities are super thin. But I have worked with a decent amount of celebrities and I do know what is keeping many of them in such great shape. It’s probably one of the best kept secrets in Hollywood as well. Here it is…..they work their asses off and eat really well, because if they don’t…..they could lose their jobs! It’s not a sob story, it’s just reality. Most of the “hot looking” performers got their first job because a casting agent or producer thought that they had both great talent and a great look. Once hired, these performers needed to keep up their looks in order to maintain their popularity and continue to get hired.
How many jobs do you think the uber-buff Taylor Lautner would get if he gained 33 pounds of fat? Not too many! Think about the heat Jessica Simpson takes for gaining weight. Fergie gained about 12 a while back and got ripped to shreds. The public is not incredibly forgiving when stars lose their sexy physiques.
Every celeb I’ve worked with has adopted a rigorous workout routine and makes aggressive efforts to eat nutritious, low fat, and low calorie foods. Imagine the things you’d do if you had to perform on television in a bathing suit! Of course some lucky people have the wild metabolisms that allow them to eat atrociously with no aesthetic price to pay. Those jerks are everywhere though. (Just kidding)
The things celebrities do have that work in their favor are:
- Pressure to look great on screen
- Financial ability to hire trainers, nutritionists, chefs, therapists and more.
If a magic pill existed, would Oprah have it already? Wouldn’t SHE be a size 10? Celebrities aren’t privy to magical skinny secrets. They are however, in a position where every aspect of their appearance seems to count. Your livelihood probably does not ride on your looks. I’m not a super celebrity Rachel, but I am an expert on the subject of becoming fit and am wildly successful at helping others earn the bodies they love living in. You should focus more of your attention towards folks like me who have real answers.
Be particular about what you put in your mouth. Sweat often. Avoid things like drugs, cigarettes, alcohol, saturated fats, white flour, sugar, diet pills, supplements and other items of snake oil. Strive to become more FIT and maybe someday people will ask what your secrets are!

Great post. And so true. If only the majority of the population had the same pressure and assets of celebs!
