Jennifer Love Hewitt loses 18lbs


After being subjected to the long lens of a papparazzi, Jennifer Love Hewitt was roundly ridiculed for her weight gain recently. But unfair though the papp shot was, there is nothing like an unflattering photograph to prompt you into action, and the Hollywood actress is no exception.
In the latest issue of US magazine (www.usmagazine.com/jennifer-love-hewitt-reveals-new-thinner-body) the star reveals her new slim-line, size 10 figure after losing an amazing 18lb in ten weeks. She's achieved it with the help of her trainer, Stevie Sant'Angelo, who customised a nutritional plan made up of 1250-1500 calories a day.
''The less processed the better,' says Jennifer. 'When you teach someone to eat properly, it's all about eyeballing the portions.'
But the real secret behind her amazing shape up, is a dynamic exercise routine, involving skipping, running and spinning, as well as building lean muscle with the help of kettlebells.
Originally used by Russian strongmen, these ball shaped weights are renowned for helping people shape up fast.
Resembling cannon balls but with a hande, this means the weight is off set, helping to challenge the muscles more than traditional dumbells. And because the movements use several muscle groups, you get twice the workout in half the time. Check out this YouTube video to see how a kettlebell workout could help you.
