Mariah Careyreveals that getting back into shape after giving birth to twins has meant more than going to the gym. This is something every new Mom would like to know. She has admitted that it wasn't an easy feat to get her figure back, particularly after gaining so much weight during her pregnancy.

"I realize that 90 percent of losing weight is my diet," Carey, 43, who promotes the Jenny Craig plan, says in the May issue of Shapemagazine. "Today my workout routine is more about getting and staying toned," she says. "And for me, that means either taking hour-long walks a few times a week or jumping in the pool three or four days a week to do 45 minutes of aquatic exercises."

The star, who is married to Nick Cannon, admitted to the magazine that being pregnant with Monroe and Moroccan was a tricky time for her. "Pregnancy was probably the best and the hardest thing I'll ever go through."I know for a lot of women, it can be wonderful and relatively easy. But for me, it was like "Okay, honey, do you have to do everything the hard way?"" she added.

Miley Cyrus may have encouraged her fans on Twitter to try a gluten-free diet, but nutritional experts claim she should not be promoting gluten-free diets because many of her fans may not have been diagnosed with a gluten-related disorder.

On Sunday, the "Can't Be Tamed" singer denied rumors she's battling anorexia and seemed to explain her recent weight loss as a result of a food allergy.

"For everyone calling me anorexic, I have a gluten and lactose allergy," the 19-year-old actress tweeted. A gluten-free diet excludes foods containing gluten, a protein found in wheat. "It's not about weight -- it's about health. Gluten is crap anyway!"

Cyrus then told one fan: "Everyone should try no gluten for a week! The change in your skin, physical and mental health is amazing. You won't go back!"Rachel Begun, a registered dietitian and food industry consultant, told Today's Health that only those who have been diagnosed with a gluten-related disorder should go on a gluten-free diet.

In fact, Begun said "People who go gluten-free may gain weight if they rely mostly on highly-processed gluten free foods, many of which tend to be higher in fat, calories and sugar than their gluten-containing counterparts."Karen Ansel, also a registered dietitian and spokeswoman for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, agreed.

"There's absolutely no evidence that a gluten-free diet promotes weight loss," Ansel explained. "However, there is data that indicates that following a gluten-free diet can result in a diet that's low in key nutrients -- especially iron, zinc and B vitamins such as folate and niacin."

Courteney Cox-Arquette refuses to diet before getting in front of the camera.  As said on theage.com.au, for the show Cougar Town she didn't mind shooting semi-nude scenes for the show but admits she doesn't have the "discipline" to lose weight and did not go on a diet.  Yeah, finally a woman who is not following the crowd! She is 45 years old, WOW and a 5 year old daughter.  She does exercises regularly and has been quoted as saying that she has quit smoking. In  an interview for Look magazine she told readers "Well, first of all, I never exercised during Friends - I just smoked loads of cigarettes. Now I eat and exercise, and you know, do everything I can... I just try a lot harder than I used to." Yes, we know how that feels. Also just a quick note, l never realised she was 40 years old when she had her daughter! Nice shoes in pic below, n ot sure about the head-band though, lol. (Source)

Molly Ringwald told people.com "I try to make sure that I eat something green. "I think that's just a really good rule of thumb. I love all different kinds of vegetables, but the green ones are generally the best for you and the best for your diet."  Can you believe she is 42!!!!!

She was looking amazing at the Oscars in a purple Todd Thomas dress over the weekend - eight months after delivering the twins.
