Skinny VS Curvy

Elle Magazine says that Kate Hudson lost a lot of weight in the recent months. Here’s the exact paragraph:

Yes, this really is Kate Hudson. When ELLE met up with the actress in New York to shoot our December cover, we were pretty amazed, too. We’ve photographed and interviewed Kate before, of course, the last time for our April 2008 issue, some 20 months ago. But while the bright smile and easy-going persona were familiar, Kate’s incredible new body was something of a shock.
In the process of losing weight for a role in which she plays a terminally-ill woman, 30-year-old Hudson describes her body as ‘Pretty solid, actually. I’m not, like, 110lbs. But I’m probably heading towards that.’

Writer Choire Sicha meets Kate for lunch, but when she turns up at the restaurant she’s already eaten. Apparently, her meal consisted of some beetroot from a plastic container that’s now stained red and that, for no apparent reason, she will carry around for the rest of the day.

I would certainly not describe Kate’s weight loss as “shocking”, because she was always slim and still is slim. She’s 5′6”.

You might remember that 35 year-old Alanis Morisette lost weight last year – People Magazine has a detailed story about it:

Morissette is proud of her new, fit body – because, for the first time, she achieved it in a healthy manner. In addition to her workout regiment, Morissette, 35, follows a mostly vegan diet inspired by Dr. Joel Fuhrman’s book Eat to Live. “I’m eating like an adult rather than like a 7-year-old at a candy store,” she says. “Now, around food, I can be trusted.”

The star’s eating issues began in her early teens, when the budding singer was told by a music exec that she had to lose weight if she wanted to succeed. She quickly took the criticism to an extreme, turning to anorexia and bulimia. “I’d go up and down at least 20 lbs. fast – sometimes in two weeks,” says Morissette, who became “covert, lonely and isolated.” After years of feeling helpless, she reached a turning point at age 17 when a friend “followed me to the bathroom,” she says. “I just started sobbing. She held me, and that was the beginning of the end. I took myself to therapy.”

But Morissette insists there was no heavy emotional issue behind her weight gain last year – not even her highly publicized 2007 split from fiance Ryan Reynolds… “Any breakup I’ve been through, the weeks following are fragile,” she admits. “But when I go through emotional shifts in life, I actually don’t eat as much.” So what was the cause behind the curves? Simply having fun on the road. “I was eating Italian food at two in the morning, drinking wine and margaritas,” says Morissette, who dubbed this period her “Indulgence Tour.” “It was the most fun I’ve ever had! But I didn’t want to stay there…”

[Inset information] The Book. Morrissette’s “redefining moment” came when she discovered Dr. Joel Fuhrman’s diet, which stresses nutrient-dense foods such as cucumbers and collards. “It was a big lifestyle change for me.”

Her Meals. The singer starts out with a spinach banana smoothie and then digs into a kale salad for lunch. For a snack, she’ll have her favorite grapefruit.

Mini indulgences. “If I’m PMSing and I really need chocolate, I’ll eat the chocolate.”

“I am a size 8 now since losing more than 14lbs from all the dance training. I’ve been that small before, but it was when I was taking drugs and was really unhealthy. Now I’m so fit and even my skin looks better – I think it’s from all the sweating!

“I am not loving my upper arms to be honest – I think I’ll start doing some weights to tone them up.”

In case you’re wondering, Kelly is 5′3” / 160 cm.

Whoa! This girl has lost a LOT of weight, I barely did not recognize her.

The weight loss was truly unnecessary, I wonder why she lost so much and I hope she is OK.

I think she looked much better (and younger) before – she is 30 years old.

I noticed that Raven-Symone has lost some weight, but I didn’t estimate it around 35 pounds. Here’s what Star Magazine says:

Raven-Symone has always been frank about her weight struggles. “When I’m stressed, I gain,” she says. Judging from her appearance at the September 25 Teen Vogue party in LA, things are going great for the Disney star! Dr. Michael Aziz, author of The Perfect 10 Diet, believes the 5′2″ actress shed 35 pounds over the past few months. “Raven was obese,” Dr. Aziz tells Star. “Although she’s naturally a full-figured girl, she’s at a much healthier weight now.”
