Q. Hey Fitz, I have a question. How come Hollywood celebrities lose weight with such ease? There has to be some secret. I can't figure out why Renee Zellweger can gain and lose 20 pounds with ease, yet I can't get eight pounds off once! What's the deal? Elaine.

A. Good question Elaine. It does seem easy for the celebs to shed pounds quickly doesn't it? I can tell you for the most part, that besides the few that are blessed with oddly high metabolisms......the other popular hot bodies stay hot due to discipline and hard work..

Celebs do have certain benefits that make their efforts easier. First, they have budgets that can afford them personal trainers and chefs. Having a team of fitness professionals to guide and harass you would make one more likely to stick with a healthy eating and workout plan. Second. They have extra motivation to stay in great shape knowing their next job relies heavily upon their appearance. Imagine if you had to maintain a certain weight to keep your job! It may be half great and half crappie, but if you wanted to work ... you'd probably maintain your ideal weight.

Besides the benefits of celebrity and wealth, the bodies don't stay 'hot' without the same old fashioned exercise and conscious eating habits that I recommend to you non-celebs. The "Rich and Famous" may have trainers standing over their shoulders, but they still have to put in hours on the treadmill and do endless amounts of squats, push-ups crunches. Chefs may provide perfect meals, but the celebs still need to avoid the ice cream shops, candy, and fast food.

It's easy to feel inadequate and frustrated in a society where most of the folks we see on screens and in magazines are physically fabulous.Since you seem interested in celebrities, I encourage you to accept your different roles in life and try to find someone you can be inspired by. Pick a person with a similar body type and find an article on their fitness habits. Maybe you can learn from the advice given to them by their celebrity fitness staff! Fitz

Q. What's up Fitz? I see Matthew McConaughey splashed all over the magazines and that guy is definitely ripped. I think he's on steroids though. What do you think? Jason

Hi Jason. Yep. I see Matthew in the magazines too, and you're right...he's amazing. Since you're a boy and I'm a girl......I'll take it to the next level. He is physically spectacular and makes most of us chicas drool. Absolutely gorgeous! Now, I don't know him personally........so I can't give facts on what he does or does not do. But, my professional opinion is that the man does NOT use steroids. If I've ever seen a naturally perfect physique it is his.

Matthew is not overly developed nor overly vascular which are tell-tale signs of steroid use. He's muscular, but not in a way which is inappropriate for his body. Plus, in all of the photos in which we see his great body.......he's exercising! He seems to spend his free time surfing, cycling, jogging, jumping rope, and strength training. The man has a flexible work schedule and enough money that he can spend his off time doing what he loves.

Jason. Instead of being a creepy steroid user, Matthew is more of a role model. He does what I wish my clients would do. He exercises for enjoyment. He loves the feeling he gets from moving his body and being outdoors. He relishes the feeling he gets from being strong, lean and energetic. All good things.

*** And FYI, I've seen reports that he smokes marijuana. Definitely gross in my book, and that habit of his, I do not suggest anyone emulate. It certainly would have no positive effect on his or your physique.

Punches & Kicks,

Fitz
