Strange Fruit
‘WHATS plump, red and covered in hundreds of dimples? No, not Elton Johns sun-kissed thighs – nothing good be further from the truth.
| ”Strawberries” |
The answer is, of course, a strawberry. And as fate would have it, the small, succulent fruit can actually prevent your skin looking like its been modelled on a cottage cheese golf ball.
Just take a look at Sarah Jessica Parker, who, as the Enquirer reports, has lost an amazing 28 pounds since giving birth to her son James, now aged two.
Those who have seen the actress on the small screen may be forgiven for worrying that SJP now weighs not much more than a punnet of the fruits she chomps on.
But youd be wrong, because the Enquirer reminds us all that when pregnant SJP did put on weight, and managed to look something other than the rather drawn, ovine-faced creature weve so learned to love.
But now shes back to her old self, and, as weve already said, its all thanks to a ruthless regime of strawberries.
If you eat sensibly, healthy meals that include a small portion of protein and limited carbohydrates to total 1,200 calories a day, you will lose weight, says Dr Stacy Title, a weight-loss specialist. But if you include calorific snacks, youre destroying your diet.
Hence, she commends to our attention the strawberry. And for added daring, a cup of blueberries, which has only 40 calories compared to a 300 calorie donut.
Dr Title could doubtless go on, and enthuse about the wonders of gooseberries, raspberries, mulberries and, who knows, if shes feeling up to the challenge, the wonderful blackberry.
But that for later. Because right now SJP looks BERRY GOOD, positively fruity, and not at all like shes sucking on a lemon…’
