Megan Fox says she relies on balsamic vinegar to help cleanse her system and maintain her killer physique.

Megan explained, “It just cleanses out your system entirely.  It will get rid of, for women who retain water weight from your menstrual cycle and all that, it gets rid of it really fast.”

“I’m not one for dieting or exercising, ’cause I’m lazy and I have a really big sweet tooth, so I have to do cleanses every once in a while ’cause of the amount of sugar I take in.”

I have been eating way too many desserts during the hoildays. I used to be a fitness freak [@ Equinox, NYC]. But for the last 1 year I did not renew my gym membership due to a lot of travelling

My goal for 2010, is to eat healthy and at least workout for 1 hour at least 4-5 times a week.  By healthy, I mean more low carb veges  & fruits. Cut out processed food. Drink lots of Water & No more Diet Coke! 

 I would do more cardio [treadmill, elliptical]  to stay lean and yoga for definition and flexibility. I am planing to do 2 day water or green tea fasts every 3 weeks to detox the body consistently.

 Will keep you guys posted on how ‘my strict diet/fitness regime’ goes

I would love to know whats your diet /fitness goals are for 2010 or tell us whats your favorite diet, that has worked for you in the past. You can leave a comment to this post or email me at skinnymaria@yahoo.com

So whats your Favorite Diet Tip?

According to Life and Style Magazine here’s the Skinny On The Biggest Loser Abigail Rike’s Diet.

Abigail Rike’s diet, compared to her old diet, has improved rather dramatically. But if you think that Abigail Rike’s diet is now full of healthy salads and fat-busting foods, well, it is not. Before we take a closer look at Abigail Rike’s diet, it is worth mentioning that contrary to what you may have heard, her new diet has nothing to do with the food combining diet.

Her new diet focuses on balance and on inclusion, rather than on exclusion certain food groups. She is not afraid of carbs, for example, but she does not start her breakfast with a load of simple carbohydrates as she used to do. In short, she has made a number of important improvements to her diet without going into extremes. Here is how Abigail Rike’s diet looks these days:

Breakfast  Abigail says, “I love Greek yogurt with a couple of blueberries and Kashi,” a protein-and-fiber-rich combo that has just 273 calories. Some days she will enjoy an egg-white omeletwith asparagus and spinach or Kashi cereal with vanilla soy milk.

Lunch “I like wraps,” says Rike, who combines Laughing Cow cheese, low-sodium deli meat, spinach, tomatoes and onions into a filling meal that has about 336 calories. Or, because she is not a big cook, she will simply enjoy grilled chicken over salad with Galeos miso dressing.

Dinner While she is not afraid of complex carbs during the day, Abigail tries to limit them at dinnertime. She will amp up her protein intake with grilled salmon or some other fish and a side, like asparagus, for a filling 312 calories. “I always try to incorporate a green vegetable,” she says.

Snack Rike makes sure to combine protein and fruit (maybe watermelon and a slice of turkey) so her blood sugar does not spike. Apples with a measured amount of organic peanut butter or almond butter (about 245 calories) is one of her go-to noshes.
