Victoria Beckham shunning “moron” food

Not that Victoria “Posh Spice” Beckham needs to lose any weight, but she’s recently been spotted with the book Skinny Bitch, a guide to vegan eating with a sassy, Hollywood attitude. One critic says the book dispenses pretty common weight-loss advice: stop eating junk food, sugar, sweeteners, caffeine, dairy, refined carbs and alcohol. The book is apparently militantly anti-meat, calling people who try to lose weight while eating meat morons and referring to the Atkins Diet as the rotting meat diet. It’s more an advertisement for vegetarianism than it is a diet book. There’s a joke in there somewhere about the authors being bitches because they aren’t eating junk food, sugar, dairy and alcohol, I’m sure…

Gabby calls junk food child cruelty

Speaking of Brits and their diet plans, BBC sports announcer Gabby Logan has a plan for getting rid of the childhood obesity problem: banning junk food. Or, barring that, warning labels on junk food to the effect of “this food could make your child obese.” Logan, 34, is married to a former rugby player and is the mother of 22-month-old twins. She refuses to have junk food in the house and lost her baby weight (more than 50 pounds) in about three weeks without doing “anything special.” She says feed kids junk is “tantamount to child cruelty because you’re handicapping their development if you don’t feed them properly”…

Taylor’s brown rice and chicken-noodle soup diet

Finally, another season of “American Idol” has come and gone, and last year’s Idol, Taylor Hicks, is showing off a trimmer physique. He’s lost 22 pounds since last year by cutting out fast food and fried chicken and eating lots of salads, brown rice, fish and chicken-noodle soup. He’s also running 45 minutes a day and using his performances as cardio. But he still cheats on nights he’s not performing, and his favorite indulgence is chocolate cake.
