He's the gossip guru who somehow became as famous as the celebs he dishes about. Now Perez Hilton has undergone a truly Hollywood transformation, losing weight in a fashion that leaves us all scratching our heads and wondering how the heck he did it. Over the last year, he's lost an astonishing 10 inches from his waist. So just how the heck did he do it?

According to this article from the Daily Mail, Hilton (aka Mario Lavandeira) says the lucky number is five -- as in, the number of days he works out, often with a personal trainer. But his weight loss started by healthifying his eating habits, and these days, he has healthy meals delivered to him six days a week, allowing for one treat day.

As for inspiration? Says Hilton: "My goal is not be skinny. I wanna be in good shape. I'd love David Beckham's body."

how can you use star jones as an example when everyone knows she had gastric bypass surgery

Gee, he works out 5 times a week and eats sensibly.
What a secret!
Gee thanks, I never knew that's all one had to do in order to slim down!
And to think, all this time, I've been Hoodiayaing, hydroxycutting,Cortislimming, and gastric bypassing, when I coulda had a V8 and a jog!
what an epiphany!

It's hard to gain weight when you always have a d*ck in your mouth...

It's called PHENTERMINE. Crack by prescription.

franco parilo 9-09-2008 @ 3:44PM

IT'S CALLED PHENTERMINE. CRACK IN A CAPSULE. JUST ASK YOUR FRIENDLY DIET CENTER PHYSICIAN AND HE'LL BE HAPPY TO JACK UP YOUR HEART RATE FOR THAT QUICK FIX.

They've got it all wrong. The magical cure....AIDS...That's right AIDS. Now all he has to do is cover up the lesions and he is all set.

WOW! Just like every other celeb with more money than they know what to do with! They get a trainer and 'healthy' food delivered to their home weekly. How convenient... if only every other Joe Blow could do it. I hate when they announce 'CELEB WEIGHT LOSS- HOW THEY DID IT' and the article ends up telling about a trainer and having meals delivered. Now if I could find time between raising a 2 year old working and keeping house, then I might be able to exercise. Regular people in the REAL WORLD cannot have these finer things and it SUCKS!

Maybe that cum guzzler has AIDS

THE BEST WAY FOR THIS ASS HAT TO LOSE WEIGHT WOULD BE FOR HIM TO CUT HIS OWN HEAD OFF,OR SEW HIS FAT MOUTH SHUT SO WE DON'T HAVE TO HEAR HIM AND HE WON'T EAT HIS WEIGHT IN WEINERS ,OR CUT HIS OWN HANDS OFF SO HE CAN'T TYPE ANY MORE GAY ASS RUMORS

Love him or hate him, his column is entertaining and he clearly lost a ton. I read an interview of his and he attributed his weight loss to eating healthy and adding flax to his program. I agree and am a HUGE flax and breakfast advocate!

My best tip for weight loss or maintenace in general is to eat a healthy filling breakfast and not eat donuts, muffins or bagels! I feel eating a healthy breakfast helps me to make smarter decisions all day. If I don't eat breakfast as I want to save calories, I usually end up pigging out later in the day and making poor food choices. I also think that flax seeds are huge in helping with weight loss.

I have the same breakfast every day. I recently lost 30 pounds following the weight watchers program http://www.weightwatchers.com and I now just am more watchful every day of what I eat. I have a banana low fat yogurt with golden roasted flax for breakfast every
day. It is filling, keeps me regular and tastes fabulous. My Weight Watchers leader recommended fitflax to me and it definitely helped the last 10 pounds to melt off. It is a flax and chia blend and I think I read about it in O mag. They also listed a code to get 15% off. The site is http://www.fitflax.com and the code for 15% off is FIT15

You seriously need to stop shilling this flax website in every comment you make.

Oh yeah.. of course the only way gay people can lose weight is through AIDS or by having a dick in their mouth huh?

I guess all you assholes are from the Sarah Palin school of education ( if you can call it that)

Maybe fat women can only get thin by getting fracked consistently huh? or having a dick in their mouth or pussy.. whichever

or maybe cancer?

You people are all jackasses
