Skinny Gossip

I have lots of emails from you guys (which I love and appreciate), mostly starving tips, and I’m trying to get caught up on my emails so I thought I’d post a few extra tips for today.  If I haven’t posted your tip yet, please be patient – I promise I’ll post it.  Thanks for understanding : )

These starving tips of the day came from SkinnyGossip reader “almost.skinny”:

Food Tips:

• Teas! There are so many options, green, black, herbal, fruity, spicy… Teas like Chai, which are usually served with a LOT of milk and sugar can still be great with a tiny bit of milk and no cal sweetener (as a plus people will assume its made the regular way)
• Weigh up your options, if you can’t handle the monthly chocolate cravings one square of dark chocolate (20 cals) is a lot better than falling for the slice of chocolate cake (400 cal).
• Eat raw foods (vegetables & fruit) as much as possible, they fill you up for longer with fewer calories due to the higher water content. And you’ll get more nutrients from them.
• Vegetable Soups are a life saver in winter. Made with veggies and water with a tsp of stock powder you can stretch your calories further, keep warm and full for longer! Asian style broths (ginger, soy, chilli, lime, stock + veg) are a great alternative!
• Cocoa powder (unsweetened) sprinkled on low cal fruit- apples, strawberries, oranges etc. is a yummy and low cal, low fat way to kick the chocolate cravings.
• A small amount of home made hummus (puree chickpeas, spices, tiny bit of tahini, no oil) as a dip with veggies makes for really filling snacks. You can water it down and use as a protein rich salad dressing/vegetable sauce.
• Weigh everything!! Measuring by ‘cups’ can lead to unwanted calories, break out the kitchen scales, they’re much more accurate.
• When eating out talk and drink lots, by the time everyone else is full they’ll be more likely to believe you when you say you are too!
• Small regular meals (5-6) are more successful for most people as you don’t feel deprived. 6 x 50cal meals vs 1 x 300cal dinner… your choice!
• Prepare your vegetables ahead of time- chop and portion (you could even cook and freeze) ready for those nights when you would otherwise reach for quick higher cal options.

I wanted to share some more thinspo music from the group Jussy.  I posted a YouTube video of one of their songs a few weeks ago, one of the most extreme songs they’ve written, and wanted to follow up with a few of their others that aren’t so intense.

I’ve been emailing with the vocalist/lyricist of Jussy, a follower of SkinnyGossip, and getting some inside information about some of their songs and their underlying messages.  Jussy has billed themselves as The World’s First Thinspirational Band, with most of their songs being thinspired.

If I scared you away when I shared their first one, Let’s Go Starvros, give these another shot.

For this weeks Thursday Thinspo I wanted to post the rest of the pictures I had of Vlada Roslyakova eating, or pretending to eat – hehe.  Enjoy : )

Eating a pastry.  I love the look on Vlada’s face in this one.

OMG… am I caught?

Sweets anyone?

Sitting at the sushi bar…. I wonder what she ate?

I’m curious…. do you guys like it when I post pictures of models eating?  Want to see more of it?

This starving tip of the day came from SkinnyGossip reader Mandi:

If you are only allowing a certain kind of diet but live with someone make your own shelf in the fridge or pantry and you can only eat off of that shelf…Nothing else. I have a bunch of stuff in there for when my husband is home and then in the morning I move most of it off. Leaving fruit and carrot sticks and diet coke and such….

A few weeks ago Erin Heatherton and Chanel Iman were at the Victoria’s Secret store in SoHo NYC promoting the “Incredible Bra.”  So many of you have requested a post on Chanel and it is finally here – I hope you don’t mind that she shares it with the lovely Erin Heatherton : )

This starving tip of the day came from SkinnyGossip reader Mona:

We all know the tip about applying perfect lip gloss and lipstick to avoid over consumption, but remember to stay hydrated in the process! It’s important for your body to use up water to burn the fat off, so you’re not losing water weight. Sip lots of water or green tea through a straw in order to keep your makeup perfect.

Here is a skinny quote that was sent to me by one of our readers, Irene:

“Wasting food is wasting food – whether in a body that doesn’t need it, or in a trash can. The difference is that it won’t hurt the trash can, but it will hurt you.”

Thanks for the great quote Irene!  I love it!

Megan Fox was recently spotted leaving the gym in some tight workout pants.  Megan has been in the spotlight recently for losing weight and there is no doubt that she has.

This starving tip of the day came from SkinnyGossip reader Mona:

When you give into a craving, like having that energy bar or piece of chocolate you shouldn’t have eaten, make it a point to work it off at the gym! Burn at least 1/3 more of the calories indicated on your indulgence to be sure that you’ve gotten it out of your system as calorie counts on most machines can vary by 20%! You will feel much better about your misdemeanor.
