11 Celebrity Looks You Can Steal – Without Plastic Surgery, by Expert Dr. Oz Garcia

From Kim Cattrall’s sculpted stomach to Susan Sarandon’s well-endowed décolletage, a leading authority on nutrition and anti-aging offers wowOwow simple and inexpensive tips on how to achieve a celebrity’s look.

Photo Essay

We all want Kim Cattrall’s abs, Michelle Obama’s arms and Demi Moore’s perfect skin, but who can afford the cadre it took to get them looking that way? Because most of us can’t afford personal trainers, celebrity chefs, stylists and, dare we say, cosmetic surgeons, wowOwow consulted celebrity nutritionist and author of Redesigning 50: The No-Plastic-Surgery Guide to 21st-Century Age Defiance, Dr. Oz Garcia, on ways to steal celebrities’ trademark attributes without Botox, plastic surgery or breaking the bank.

Since Liz is on this list… I want to know if she’s eating blueberries, fish and nuts?!

No More White Anything in my Kitchen Pantry!

Ladies,

I cannot tell you how quickly you will drop at least five pounds, by simply giving up bagels, pasta, white rice, white flour. It is amazing. Just open your pantry and fridge, and start tossing. You won’t believe it.

I do miss pasta so much. A friend just told me about Yam Bean Noodles (Shirataka) and Tofu Shirataka. Apparently they have No Carbs! I’m going to buy some this weekend, and experiment with some recipes.

Switch to whole wheat pasta.  There are some tasty types out now, no longer the cardboard stuff.  You can also find gluten free pasta, protein enriched pasta with added fiber, and more.  There is some sort of revolution in the pasta purveyors.  No need to miss it.  Just switching to whole grains will do the trick.

Hi Elizabeth,

Thank you for mentioning the whole wheat pasta! I’m going to research that a little more. If I can find a low carb whole wheat pasta, that would be perfect. I’m pre-diabetic. So I really have to cut the carbs. I’ve got a whole wheat pasta that has 40 grams of carbs (less dietary fiber of 5g makes it 35, I guess) per serving size of 2 oz! So this one’s out. I’m going to look around some more. Hopefully I can find a low carb whole wheat pasta. I would be in heaven. Thanks again. I am a woman on a mission now!

Purchasing short-grain rices from the Asian stores will net far better whole germ rice, that is high in protein as well. I particularly enjoy a Japanese rice that has the whole germ in it, at 12 G protein/cup. (Far less expensive too - long grain rice is essentially garbage.)

Basically, avoiding anything that comes in a bag, box, bottle, or can - (quoted from my own published book), is wise. And OD’ing on vitamins/supplements only gives us the best sewage in the world (our bodies excrete what we don’t need, but remember that’s a task of the right colon, liver, and kidneys).

Mrs. Obama has lovely arms, but maybe because she is tall, she seems to not stand straight.  In this picture her shoulders are rounded.

Now Carol, I bet not always do you stand or sit straight! After a while nit picking is very ….. crazy.

I bet Mrs. Obama does tend to stoop (unconciously?), I just read she is 5’11 so that would explain it.

I don’t want to seem mean-spirited or cynical.  For the tips the doctor offers up, sure, good sound advice, but I doubt many women would sit around rubbing orange peels and strawberries on their teeth.  What is getting to me about these "You can be fab" articles you keep producing is that they aren’t true.  Demi Moore?  My God.  Before she made that Charlie’s Angels movie, she went and had over $50,000 in plastic surgery, and then some.  Let’s be honest here.  Racquel Welch?  Sure.  Natural gifts…. and plastic surgery over time.  Madonna? Ahahahahahahaha.  Pause.  Hahahahahaha.  Pause.  Gasping for air. Ahahahahahaha.  This is a joke right?  wowOwow?  Stop it.  You’re killing me.  :::munching a blueberry to recover::::

Hope the blueberry revived you;-)  Cute post.

Funny post…I could pay my mortgage on what Madge supposedly spends on cream to slather on at night.  That said, I did look at the fab slideshow…and the only one who ‘looks’ like she just takes care of herself; no nips or tucks or even blueberries, is Meryl Streep.  She looks like a nice approachable lady of her age.  And what is wrong with that?  Nothing except the blather that any of us can ‘get’ (from apparently our kitchen cupboards) what costs the Hollywood swells tens of thousands.

Pass the blueberries.

:::Handing a blueberry to Mary.:::  Here.  Take two.  Stick them up your nose.  Instant rhinoplasty. See?  No surgery?  I wanna be interviewed for my "Pick a Little Pawpaw All Natural" beauty plan.  It starts with picking up a pawpaw off the ground (that’s the natural part,) and putting it in your pocket.  No wait.  It starts with finding out what a pawpaw is, then you put it in your pocket.  Then you pick up another pawpaw…well…you get the drift Mary Q-C.  Before you know it, your pockets are loaded with pawpaws….and somehow….it’s nature at work trust me…the weight…the gravity….of the pawpaws pushes things up and hauls things down and just gets everything… where you want it to be. I wish Gloria Swanson were still around, just to hear her say "pawpaw."    I’m still working on this one.  In the meantime, have another blueberry.

Right you are, WC - and … plums have replaced blueberries and pomegrants for those special nutrients. Just think of the most lucious foods naturally grown, and you’ll have the best foods for our bodies. Would you eat a cow (raw)? ;-))

These enlightening (out of date) articles do open us up to chatting though, don’t they!

Lee?  I’m just getting started. :) Here. Have a blueberry.  Rub it somewhere.  It will do wonders.
