Answer 1

Eat Real Food: Avoid fast food and frozen stuff that you microwave. Try your best to eat whole food that doesn't have a long shelf life. Watch your portion sizes: Eat three small meals (don't skip on breakfast) and a couple of healthy snacks. A bagel is not a snack. Try something like a turkey and cheese roll up. Easy. You take the piece of meat and slice of cheese and roll them up together. Voila. Protein and fat. Functional and satisfying.

Drink Water: You want that skin to glow? Skip the flavored drinks and stick to the H2O. Boring? Add a lemon or a splash of your favorite juice. It's just a habit. Sweat 4 days a week minimum (I don't mean by sunbathing either). I'm not going to tell you what kind of exercise to do-I'm just saying sweat 30-45 minutes per day, 4 days a week if you want to have a flat tummy and toned butt. I didn't even mention it giving you clarity or more energy. Just a better butt and tummy.

Keep Stress to a Minimum: Back to the flat tummy. Wanna get those washboard abs? Chill out. Stress contributes to the body holding on to fat. It's not about the quality of your life or healthy living, it's just about giving yourself the best chance possible for being thin, so relax on the reactions.

Do Resistance Training: Twice a week, do some resistance training. This could count as one of your 4 sweat days, but if you want to get that hard hot body, then you have to do some resistance training.

Stretch or Do Yoga: Keep that body pliable. It helps avoid injury, and if that's not motivation enough, the breathing is helpful in staying young looking. Oxygen.

Find Some Happiness, Laugh and Smile Regularly: This is connected to what I wrote about stress. Happiness keeps your thighs thin.

Go to the Restroom Regularly: This is a big deal. A lot of people have issues with this. A good diet and water will help you keep things moving. Going to the bathroom is especially good for flattening the lower ab area. Not to mention (I'm committing the ultimate sacrifice here) it will lower the number on the scale. It's been said that we walk around with 8 to 10 pounds of crap (literally) in our system. Move it on out.

No you don't want to look like her ...she looks unhealthy. At 115 you should be happy...I mean I'm tryna get to your weight because that's a nice weight. But 1 thing you should know is that no matter what don't EVER starve yourself because 1 its not healthy and 2 you will gain all the pounds back. I think that you should be happy with the way you look now...but if you do wanna lose weight you have to exercise and eat the right foods. So don't starve yourself just eat healthy.

Answer 3

Believe it or not, when you starve yourself you might loose weight but it isn't the weight you want to loose. Loosing weight by starvation and deprivation only results in muscle loss. If you want to loose weight, eat very lightly 5-6-7 times a day, and exercise to regain that muscle that you have lost!! You will not only look better but you will feel better, and also feel better about your self. You may still weigh 115, but it will be a healthy 115, and you will look much more trim. Expect to take at least 5 months of this kind of diet exercise program to get to where you want to be.

Answer 4

well the reason you look fatter when u starve yourself is because your body will go into a starvation mode......remember those children in other countries starving and how their bellies stick out real far??? So the best way to lose weight is to eat lots of green veggies and fruits nuts seeds and fish lean meats too and drink water lots of water - it helps flush the toxins out of your body. Try walking for 30 to 60 min a day as well to tighten up. Good luck!!

oh and I think nicole ritchie is sick looking - she even admits that she has a problem and is trying to gain more weight. BE CAREFUL!!!

Answer 5

Starving yourself only causes your metabolism to slow down which causes you to gain weight in the long run! This is because your body is trying to protect itself by hording what you eat. It is very bad to starve yourself! If you really want to lose weight try exercising. It doesn't sound like you need to lose weight though. Most women would kill to weigh only 115 pounds. Take good care of yourself and EAT! Eat healthy foods like veggies and drink plenty of water. Don't worry about what other people look like. Each person has an ideal weight for their body type. Personally I think Nicole Ritchie looks bad! What ever happened to curves on a woman's body? That's what makes us sexy and separates our look from the way men look. Please take care!

Answer 6

nicole richie is really unhealthy looking. starving yourself will not do any good. it just slows your metabloism, which makes you gain the weight back and MORE as soon as you eat again. weight loss is a whole lifestyle change. you have to exercise doing aerobics or cardio to burn more calories than you consume and lift weights or do some kind of resistance training to boost your metabolism and tone your muscles. you should cut out refined sugars and solid fats from your diet or at least limit them. do a search for a calorie needs calculator and figure out how many calories your body needs a day, then subtract 200 from that number and eat about that many calories. itll go slow but your efforts will pay off. anyway good luck :]

Answer 7

Ok first of all Nicole Richie doesn't look healthy! So don't starve yourself, b/c what happens is when you start eating again, you'll gain even more weight. So start exercising if you want to drop some pounds.

Answer 8

Don't starve yourself and don't try to lose weight. Find a gym to go to or something. Turn what you think is fat into muscle. There is no way you can look like Nicole Richie, and if that is your goal. I think you need to seek professional help because you could do some serious damage to your body and you could kill yourself.

Answer 9

if you think you look fatter when your thinner than you a little something called anorexia. It is not healthy to be that small and thin. Rarely is a girl or womans body made to be that tiny. (as in 100 pounds) If you don't lose anymore weight naturally then you are at your proper weight. (emphasize the world naturally, because starving yourself is not) Seek help sweetheart, you are not a healthy person.

Answer 10

Okay your sick. Nicole Richie looks like she is about to croak. I'm 115 lb.s & I'm 5'6" if I were any skinner I know I'd look like skin and bones. You have got to be kidding me. You need to go see a doctor. You have a real problem. Being that skinny on purpous is not cool. Hollywood is full of metally ill stick figures and Nicole Richie is one of them.
