Filed under: Celebrities and Entertainment First Lady Michelle Obama has been busy recently, from meeting the Queen of England to planting a vegetable garden at the White House. But on one blog, her arms still take center stage. Her toned shoulders and biceps have a dedicated following on First Guns, a blog that celebrates her figure while also questioning why one body part gets so much mileage in the media. It is worth noting that the First Lady does not claim shortcuts or quick fixes. She works for that definition. Mrs. Obama recently told People magazine that she hits the gym nearly every day with the President , often before the sun rises above Washington. And while her arms are enviable, it is even more impressive that they are part of an intelligent woman who puts a healthy diet and fitness at the top of her agenda. Hollywoods Hottest Diets Post-Holiday Hottie The average person is bound to feel a little guilty after some holiday overindulging, and maybe even resolve to lose weight in the new year. But Gwyneth Paltrow’s post-holiday binge is far from ordinary. Her seven-day elimination diet consists of liquid meals and snacks (think room temperature lemon water, coconut milk and the occasional handful of berries and almonds). In her newslettter, she doles out detox advice: “I like to do fasts and detoxes a couple of times during the year, the most hardcore one being the Master Cleanse … It was notpretty. Or easy. It did work, however.” Paltrow cautions that her doctor doesn’t recommend the Master Cleanse since “the liver is not supported by the nutrients it needs.” She says her version diet is designed to be a “good detox” but that before following hers, or any other, you should check with your doctor. We couldn’t agree more.
