Jeremy Piven: I Grew "Breasts" From Drinking Too Much Soy Milk

The Entourage actor has sworn off the healthful dairy milk substitute -- he chugged 12 cups a day -- because of an unflattering side effect, reports the Huffington Post.

"I was the guy that dabbled in soy milk, but now I've found out soy milk has enough estrogen for me to grow breasts," the Emmy winner explained. "I had to put the soy milk down. It was a very confusing time."

Well the estrogen may not have given him man boobs but the calories could have. Soy milk is a 100 calories a cup . So if he drank 12 cups a day that is 1200 calories on top of what other foods he ate during the day. 12 cups of anythings besides water does not equal moderation in healthy diet. So remember just because the food has health benefits it doesn't mean you can forget about portion control.

Kate Winslet Wins $40,000 in Libel Suit about her Weight

Academy Award winner Kate Winslet said Tuesday she was "delighted" to win a payout of about $40,000 from a British newspaper that said she lied about her exercise regime.

"I strongly believe that women should be encouraged to accept themselves as they are, so to suggest that I was lying was an unacceptable accusation of hypocrisy," the 33-year-old mother of two said in a statement.

I am glad Kate Winslet stood up and told the truth. So many people try crazy celebrity diets to look like the stars based on what they read in the tabloids. Therefore, it is important to point out fact and fiction in these issues in order to protect people from themselves.

The "Pistachio Principle" of Weight Loss

The key to the "Pistachio Principle" is to eat food that take a long time to eat. Such as food that have shells. It i the belief of James Painter, PhD, RD, that we aren't fat because if calories eaten, but because we eat to fast for our body get fullness queues from the brain.

How you might put the Pistachio Principle to the test:

Instead of drinking juices, where calories are quickly consumed, eat fresh fruit instead--a whole orange or tangerine, for example, eaten slowly and section-by-section after peeling it, takes longer to consume and has fiber you don't find in the juice.

• If you have a hankering for peanuts, go with shelled vs. unshelled.
• Try cutting up fresh fruits and veggies into much smaller pieces than you normally would and see how slowly you can eat them.
• The bottom line is that it takes your brain 20 minutes to get the signal that you're full.
• The Pistachio Principle may slow your eating down to the point where you can feel that the stomach is full before you tuck into that second helping.

iZO Cleanze

Mandy Moore, Allison Janney and Emily Deschanel are fans of the raw, vegan organic juice and superfood cleansing program, which according to the company's CEO and founder Tim Martin, promotes optimum health and weight loss.

"The idea of the mechanics of cleansing is that you're taking away the need for digestion and digestion normally absorbs most of your energy," Tim says. "So when you take away the need for digestion your body can focus that excess energy on healing itself and giving your body a surplus of energy."

iZo features two types of cleanses.

1. The iZO Juice Feast, which is also known as the "Couture Cleanze" consists of fresh organic juices, teas and superfoods made overnight and delivered fresh every morning.

2. There is also the iZO Superfood Cleanze, which is made up of nutrient-dense superfood powders you mix with juice or water yourself.


The fact is Celebrities have lost their minds yet again. The notion that digestion takes up so much energy, that you have to take a rest from it. That is plain crazy. There are plenty of naturally skinny people who eat daily without needing to take a break.

The second kicker to this "diet/scam" is that is cost $150 a day to not eat. You can have raw food meals or the zone meals delivered to your house for about $70 a day. At least you are chewing something with these plans.

People never be so desperate to lose weight that you stop chewing food. You will just be angry and hungry.

Diet Myth Debunked

THE MYTH: Significant weight loss is needed to see any health benefits.

Meeting your weight-loss goal can be daunting, especially when you have a double-digit amount to lose. But shedding even just a few pounds can have a huge impact on your health. For every 2 pounds of excess weight you lose, your cholesterol drops an average of 3 points. And in a study from the Kaiser Permanente Center for Health Research, men and women were able to bring their blood pressure down after losing as few as nine pounds. "Our bodies can tell when we lose weight, even when it's a minimal amount, and they adjust very quickly," Snyderman says. "So even if you have a significant amount of weight to lose, taking it a few pounds at a time will boost your overall health—and make your ultimate goal more manageable."
