Christina Aguilera Sheds 40lbs

Featured in US Weekly: In just four months, Christina Aguilera shed almost all of the 40 pounds she gained while expecting her first child, Max. The 5-foot-2 singing sensation is already back to wearing her extra-small jeans and feels a great sense of accomplishment.

To trim back down to her tiny frame, she credits NYC nutritionist Keri Glassman (nutritiouslife.com) and a comprehensive workout plan five days a week. The breast-feeding mom estimates 1,770 calories in her diet six days a week (breast-feeding calls for an extra 500 calories a day) and splurges on her favorites one day a week. Her diet is rich in protein, veggies and whole grain. She watches her carb and starch intake and tries to avoid late-night snacking.

After six weeks of recovery from her c-section, she slowly started to put exercise back into her daily routine. Personal trainer, Tee Sorge, got Aguilera back into tip top shape with a 90 minute, five day a week workout routine. The regimen consists of 40 minute cardio (treadmill or elliptical), toning for 40 minutes (strength training with weights and different ab exercises) and 10 minutes of stretching.

Editor’s Comments: Having a nutritionist and a personal trainer is ideal for everyone looking to lose weight and tone up their body. You CAN do it on your own though with the many diet plans and exercise programs available to you now via internet, books, dvds, etc. Finding a diet and exercise program that’s right for you and sticking with it is key.
