My non-healthy eating plan

OK. Here's the cold, hard, embarrassing truth: I'm not sticking to a super-healthy eating plan while working out at Barry's. While my coworker, Anna, stuck to lean proteins and salads while she was following this hot Hollywood workout plan, I've been eating my usual diet. And that would be fruit, yogurt, and an occasional bagel for breakfast; a frozen meal for lunch; fat-free pudding, string cheese, and trail mix for snacks; and whatever Brooks cooks for dinner, from shrimp enchiladas to pizza. Oh, and some low-fat ice cream for dessert and the occasional late-night pancake run.

Even though Barry warned me at the beginning that I needed to follow a healthy eating plan to see the best results, I'm not really listening ... so how are those tight jeans fitting me after my month-long Barry's Bootcamp adventure, you wonder?

Work out and PUSH YOURSELF. Watch portion sizes. Nobody needs to go to Kim Kardashians trainer to get in shape. You have to actually want to do it.

This was nice to see that you arent going to get those results that quickly plus Im sure Kim does a lot more then just his bootcamp. When you have money like she does you can afford a lot more.

Well written! I love the honesty.

A woman with curves, yes!

would like to try something like this - right now I am tying to run in the mornings and ride bike in the afternoons and work in floor excercise and weights

Kim Kardashian is not an example of beauty. She has a HUGE derriere, which is very unattractive. I cannot stand her and all of the publicity she gets. I am disappointed with TB that you would have an article about her.

Kind of disappointing.... Work out like crazy, but still guzzle soda. Not shocking she barely lost any weight.

I have physical disabilities (bones). I need low impact. But I need to lose 70 lbs. Will yoga do that?

Interesting. Thanks for sharing!

I didnt know you could get addicted to exercise!

Nice article...with some good info.

OMG that sounds so hard. Keeping in shape, or skinny is so hard.

by yestfl Thursday, February 23, 2012 at 11:16AM Report as inappropriate

I do the same thing. I'll work out really hard but I'll slip up and binge on junk food. It's a struggle. Good article, though.

Great article. Real life experience and honest results.

Good, honest article.

2lbs and a couple of inches for 30 days of that?! That's a bad trade. No mention of pulse rate, plus injury, makes it seem like the guy couldn't care less about anyone's health.

Great article. I have always wondered about the berrys bootcamp and know we know. You look great

by laurie72 Sunday, January 22, 2012 at 05:49PM Report as inappropriate

awesome article! it was interesting to see how someone did on one of these workouts without eating crazy healthily

This article really helped out. We dont have to look like Kim K. to be beautiful, we alrady our in our own way

like it, well done!

Different body types and metabolisms need different workouts. She may not have been happy with the results b/c she lost only 2 pounds, but she can consider herself more in shape. it's not about the pounds as it is about being active.

by Minibear Saturday, January 7, 2012 at 12:40PM Report as inappropriate

I love this article and I feel plenty identified with it! I had almost the same experience exercising, I've done exercise for like a month or so and I've only seen four pounds down out of 20 I want to loose :-( After so much research I have found that the only way to loose weight quickly and get lean results is to eat 1200 calories a day (but no any food! lean protein and vegetables only!!) and intense exercise for at least 1/2 hour, 5 times a week... yes! that's it.. exercise a lot, and be a friend of hunger... no pain=no gain...

She's built I give her that, but you know what, we are all beautiful even if we don't look like her

goood articlee

This is a very good article. That's really nice of you to share your experience and don't worry about not looking like Kim, she's not really that pretty, and her beauty is artificial, listen to what the other girls below on what they have to say. :)

In light of the latest Kim K folly, you may want to advertise someone else. I am no longer interested in anyone so wasteful and ridiculous!

by imdbtoo Wednesday, November 23, 2011 at 06:55PM Report as inappropriate

Good, real, funny, motivating story! Glad to know that you are proud of your real self and not envying her fake plastic surgery/photo shopped one!

by voyager24 Tuesday, November 22, 2011 at 12:41PM Report as inappropriate

I happen to think, based on your posted picture, that you're a beautiful woman. Kim K. has store-bought beauty and she has a HUGE rear end! I commend you for wanting to build up your endurance and trim down, but please don't look like one of the "death-camp survivors" that we see coming out of Hollywood. You'll find that you feel better, and us guys appreciate a beautiful, natural woman!

by RedMCRider Tuesday, November 15, 2011 at 12:30AM Report as inappropriate

well it helps if you have big boobs and big hips to get kims body

by breakitdwn2420 Sunday, November 13, 2011 at 07:37PM Report as inappropriate

Due to genetics, there's no amount of exercise that can mimic Kim's body, esp if you have a flat butt and chest. Plastic surgery gives "Kim" results. Unless of course you had a humongous rear and giant rack to start with; then maybe exercise is your best bet. articles like this I feel are misleading to women who have low self esteem. How can we learn to accept ourselves if you're constantly chasing unrealistic ideals such as looking like Kim when in fact you are NOT Kim.

Kim Kardashian is NOT in good shape. If you want to look like her, you don't need a trainer, you need a box of donuts.

by LittleBunny Saturday, November 12, 2011 at 08:39AM Report as inappropriate

This was a really good article. Exercising is just about being diligent and consistent. And it goes for heallthy eating too. Although keeping a journal about what you eat is hard, ive tried and i have failed at this.

by andyv1217 Thursday, November 10, 2011 at 08:46PM Report as inappropriate

Kim Kardashian really doesnt have a great body. Pictures are manipulated. Exercise is a lifestyle change. I love it. I am in my 40's and will boast. I look better than she does. And I work hard in doing so. I love to exercise,eat clean and take care of my skin.

even if you didn't lose as much as you wanted, I think you should stick to it to see more results
