Dita Von Teese

Dita Von Teese is just a little shy of 40, but you would never tell it from the burleque dancer’s perfect sleek physique and silky smooth skin.

Her secret?

It must be the green smoothies she consumes on a regular basis.

Dita told Bang Showbiz: “Basically what I’d do is I’d have the green smoothie in the morning. Sometimes I’d have it for lunch, or from early morning until midday. Then I’d have a small lunch, vegetarian based, like a salad. Then I’ll eat my normal dinner at night.'”

Fran Drescher

Fran Drescher gave a lot of credit to a vegan diet for her weight loss success and overall good feeling she’s gained since eliminating animal products from her diet.

Guess that means she traded sour cream and lard-refried bean and cheese dips for healthier versions like her white bean hummus spread.

“This can also be made with garbanzo beans,” Drescher says of the dip. “It’s a super healthy snack, it’s high in protein, it’s vegetarian.”

Watch the clip below for instructions on making Drescher’s white bean dip.

Mark Bittman

Mark Bittman agrees that the new soda ban in New York pushed by Mayor Bloomberg is a step in the right direction toward fixing America’s health problems. But more can be done, as he explains in an interview with The Daily Ticker.

Bittman is asking fast food establishments like McDonald’s to make calorie content more visible and start offering more plant-based options.

“If McDonald’s wanted to make a dent in obesity, they could do something much better than posting calorie counts,” he says. McDonald’s could “encourage the consumption of smaller sodas rather than encouraging the consumption of bigger sodas. What I say to them is: how about falafel? How about hummus? How about more plant-based food that’s becoming much more mainstream in the U.S.? People know what this stuff is.”
