Hey everyone!
I was just watching friends and they mentioned Atkins! They were talking about Amy and Rachel's sister who had gained 15 pounds.
Rachel was like "I thought she was on Atkins?"
and Amy goes "she was but the carbs found her"
LOL. perhaps not truely accurate since we DO eat carbs on Atkins, but I thought it was funny. Did anyone else see it?
Just thought I would share!

I did catch that, as I was passing through the living room at just the right time. I guess it's a sign that we're actually becoming part of popular culture, since the script writers must have felt that most of the viewing audience would "get it."

I remember reading (or on E channel) that Jennifer Aniston is on a low carb diet, either The Zone or Atkins. Does anyone else remember this?
I saw the same thing last night, and I thought it was funny because she's low carbing.

She also used to have a huge honkin' nose.

I don't know that Jennifer Anniston was ever overweight. I know that if you watch the earlier episodes of friends, she is about 10-15 pounds heavier than she is now...but she still looked good! I know she follows low carb, but I am not sure which one.

Before Jennifer was on friends, she lost like 30 lbs. She had what she called "the greek butt." So while she may not seem like she ever had a weight problem, she kind of did. She was probably never that big though

I remember her in an episode of Quantum Leap... I was looking just now for an old pic of her to show how she used to look, but I can't find one. She was very attractive, but she looked very different -- big butt, BIG nose, very large breasts. I didn't think of her as fat at the time, although I guess she was probably heavier than she is now. And she is Greek. She's related to Telly Savalas.

I believe Jennifer Aniston is a loyal follower of 'The Zone'. I do think she's just a bit too thin, though. A few pounds would look great on her!

I happen to have a copy of "In Touch"magazine right here in my hot little hand that discusses what certain celebs are following in their eating plans:

Jennifer Aniston followed both Atkins and The Zone. (she's sticking with the Zone)
Catherine Zeta-Jones used Atkins to lose her post pregnancy weight. Cindy Crawford is on The Zone. Bill Clinton does South Beach. (I guess you could take that in many different ways.) And Fran Drescher, Kate Winslet, Jenny McCarthy and Sarah Ferguson are Weight Watchers advocates.

Here are some photos...

In my own opinion she's too skinny in this first picture. - Linda



Looks very healthy, but would Hollywood agree?



Older photos...





I'm going off to hide my own BIG nose.... I no had idea it was considered to be that big until now! --- sad to think her butt was once considered big!! There sure are different standards between Hollywood and the real world.
