Comments Off on Bob Barker Pays For PETA Los Angeles Headquarters

Comments Off on “The Biggest Loser” Jillian Michaels Praises Subway Choice
On a recent episode of The Biggest Loser, coachJillian Michaelscongratulated a contestant for a job well done when he ditched the vending machine snacks and opted for a veggie sub sandwich at Subway instead.
Biggest Loser contestants have some great support on the show.
Michaels is a pescatarian, while Bob Harper is totally veg!
Harper pitches a vegetarian diet to the contestants on the show, or at least one that’s primarily plant based.
“I always bring up the option of a vegetable-based diet, which I call Diet A, and talk about the many easy ways to get protein, such as from beans, tofu, broccoli, and quinoa,” he said. “For the contestants who insists they need their meat, I have Diet B, which is still very heavy on veggies.”
Diet A sounds like the best way to be the biggest winner!
Kelly Bensimon revealed the disgusting details of how she prepped for her photo shoot for Playboy.
The Real Housewives of New York City star told US Magazine that she ate nothing but chicken to make her body look full and voluptuous.
“I literally drank beer — Corona — and ate chicken wings for two weeks!”
Bensimon said that between running and riding horses, she gets really thin, but wanted a different image for the cover.
“I’m pretty full in those pictures, but I like it. That’s really me. That’s what I look like. It’s real,” said Bensimon.
“I want people to enjoy their life, not be starving and going to get a colonic because they think they need to be skinnier.”
Playboy is suppose to turn people on, but the thought of eating a potentially salmonella covered leg ripped from a cute little bird at a factory farm sounds like a real turnoff.
The next time she aims for the full figured Anna Nicole look, Kelly should just load up on some tomato pie dipped in garlic flavored olive oil.
