Seriously just stop. The fact that you truly cannot figure this out is absurd. How old are you and where did you grow up?

Everyone else on this thread has contributed some kind of intelligent and insightful observation, thought, point, etc. You're the only one being rude, and not posting anything of substance. You do not have to read this thread or post here if you don't have anything to contribute.

Do you really not know how celebrities and other normal human beings stay thin? You either need attention or are a complete moron. I posted because I could not figure out if you were being funny or what.

The ones who aren't have to starve themselves (for example Gisele vs. Jessica Simpson, see what happened to each after having a kid). It is absolutely possible to be slim without starving yourself. I am 5'8" and 120 lbs. I have one child. I go to the gym may be once per week. I do not starve myself ever. And honestly, to gain more weight I would have to eat some serious desserts every day. It's genetic for me, so I do believe that it can be genetic for a lot of the celebrities, although probably not all of them.

True. However, it's a matter of perception: what for you is sufficient nourishment, for others it might be restrictive and considered a diet.

Hell if someone were willing to pay me a few million I would get my ass to the gym for a few hours a day!
Plus if they are eaters they eat very healthy, haven't you ever read what the stars eat when they are telling a magazine how they lost the baby weight
Breakfast: protein shake
Snack: celery sticks
Lunch: broiled chicken or fish with steamed veggies and a little brown rice
Dinner: salad with a little drizzle of oil and vinegar
Add in an hour of daily exercise and we would all look good
Also according to one of the Victorias secret models they go on a 9 day liquid diet before the big angels show, NO THANKS!

I really thing there far less "naturally thin" people out there than what you'd believe. Many won't admit to putting significant thought into calories in/ out ratio.

Airbrushing. This is the secret treatment only celebrities get. Well, you can do this yourself, if you cannot appear perfect in real life, you surely can in the photos.

I see the photos of Claudia Shiffer all over the buses here in NYC. She looks like she is in her 20s in these photos, perfectly smooth skin, no sagging whatsoever. But, she is an old lady by modeling standards and surely doesn't look like this in real life. There is just no way. There is some obvious hard core airbrushing going on. And, they do this on young girls too. There was something on TV about the crazy amount of airbrushing going on on magazine covers and how it's wrong. Not only they airbrush the small skin imperfections like zits and under-eye circles, but they actually distort the images, making people look taller/thinner, reducing the size of the waist, shape of the face, nose, etc. Just slight adjustments to make sure people still look like themselves, but definitely makes them look thinner, younger and more beautiful than they actually are in real life.

I am sure they do diet pills and I am 100% sure they do plastic surgery even if they never want to admit it. There is non-invasive liposuction you can get, laser treatments to even skin tone and make skin thicker to reduce the appearance of cellulite, detox wraps, etc. A lot of this stuff is cost prohibitive to avg. women and it is not like you have scars you get that you have to explain. You can say you never did this or that procedure and nobody will ever know.

Ok, here is the question. How do all these models pose for bikini shots after having kids and have perfectly flat belly? They either have a mini-tummy tuck of sorts or they just get airbrushed. Even if you are skinny, the big belly will stretch your skin and naturally thin women with very flat stomachs before pregnancy are more prone to get stretch marks. Where does the skin go 3 months after pregnancy and how come they never have a single stretch mark? It's surgery/makeup/photo retouching. It's all fake.

Interesting. I had a flat, taut stomach, and BMI of 19-20 pre-pregnancy, gained about 20-25 pounds. No stretch marks yet (at 8 months), will see what the stomach looks like after baby comes.

If I had to eat like this for the rest of my life, I'd shoot myself now. I'd rather be size 6 and eat what I want, than be size 2 and never enjoy all the wonderful culinary treasures. And, there is always a tummy tuck, I am not ashamed that this is definitely in my near future and give a rat's behind that whatever model/actress has a flat tummy without it.

I think it depends on what age group we are talking about.

It is probably pretty easy for the young 20-somethings to look thin.

Add a couple of children and a decade, then the number of naturally thin women I think shrinks quite a bit. The women who look fantastic right after giving birth for, like, the second or third time (thinking Heidi Klum here), they are a serious minority.

FWIW, I know a handful of naturally thin women who I know eat and drink quite a bit. My BFF is like that - she can pretty much eat and drink anything and she looks freaking amazing. Granted, she doesn't have kids, but we are close to 40 by now...

The other women I know are asian or african american. The white women I know who are slim work their butts off and honestly, they don't seem to eat much..at all.

(I'm white by the way).

Honestly - I have to eat like that to even get to a size 6. Seriously. I will probably die of starvation before I get to a size 2. Just isn't in my DNA.

Didn't Marcia Cross once say actresses are paid not to eat?

Yep. This. I don't think "most" are naturally thin, but probably some are. EDs are rampant among models and celebs though they adamently deny it until they admit it. (Think female cast members of Ally McBeal-3 now admit to having EDs during taping).

I would be curious to know how many have osteopenia and/or are malnourished.

Many go on a juice "cleanse" when they need to lose some weight. The Blueprint Cleanse has been popular for a few years.

Not really. there are some body types you can't do much about, even if you turn yourself into skin and bones. And there is always the case of the "butter-face". You cannot correct the "butter-face" without the obvious plastic surgery and people will always tell. Not everyone can look beautiful. In fact a girl that is naturally beautiful, has nicely proportioned face and figure, but carries a bit of extra weight like 10-20lb will still be tons more attractive to an avg. male than a starved "butter-face" or a chick with tons of facial plastic surgery or a "skeletor". If you think of Jessica Simpson, she only started to look gross after a major weight gain, she was still very attractive at 125-130lb. But many people would think she is fat at her height and 125lb. Still looks pretty good to me, way way more beautiful than avg. looking face and skeletal not-well proportioned body - the girls I see around these days, who think they are hot.

Thanks. I am going to think about this.

What on earth is a "butter face"??
