I have read this blog, and am amazed at how many women seem to actually know her, and what she has done or is doing. Try the belly band and see if your uterus shrinks quicker. But, do you really think that Brooke NEVER had lipo suction!!! COME ON!!!!!!!!!! You would be surprised how good you can look if you follow a strict diet, exercise, and then get lipo in the area’s where there is extra fat. And by the way, Brooke is very small (petite), probably around 5′4.

I wanted to come back to clarify my previous post.

I wasn’t judging Brooke, and I hope no one took it that way. I think she looks beautiful!

I’m from SoCal where it’s the norm to look similar to Brooke, and I know what goes in to maintaining a physique like she does.

It takes a lot of dedication and I admire those who can do it continuously.

As far as the calories, I stand by my previous post and the calorie counts I stated (+/- 100 calories). I used NORMAL portion sizes (not ridiculous restaurant portion sizes) in my estimates and included them. My source was calorie-counter.com. I didn’t make the numbers up and have the added experience of fitness competitions where I ate very similarly, and around the same calorie count.

Contrary to popular belief 4 ounces of fish is a normal portion size, as is one ounce of almonds and a small apple. A normal serving size is not 8 ounces of fish, or a half a cup of almonds as many would like to believe. And yes, a container of Yoplait light yogurt is 100 calories.

I’d also like to add that 100 calories of brown sugar is about three tablespoons, which in my opinion, is A LOT of sugar!

All that aside, I think that what Brooke eats is very healthy, though I do think it’s also very low calorie. However, it WORKS FOR HER AND HER FAMILY, and that is what counts.

Olivia, I have worked it up that if you lowball the portions on everything on her list you get a minimum of around 1400 calories. Since her portions aren’t given you can’t make an accurate account of how many calories a day she is eating anyway.

The only reason I brought up the calorie content in her meal plan was to illustrate that most people think that is too little food when it really isn’t. And I think Renee has the right idea on all of this, she checked with her doctor. As long as the doc approves it I don’t think anyone should judge whether it is enough to be eating for a breast feeding woman or not.

She didn’t indicate portion size, so I’m not sure how one can conclude that this totals 1000 calories. In fact, if you really believe that all that food is only 1000 calories (a little brown sugar can be 100 alone), you are probably eating too many calories yourself? It is astonishing that to many a healthy lifestyle equals a “diet.” Her diet is balanced and healthy, and apparently there are a few women on here who could benefit from re-evaluating their own diets.

“It now makes sense that people with rail-thin stomachs still have breasts – because they’re fake. ” Or they are not fake. Women frequently feel the need to bash others with more desirable traits. Embrace yourself, and stop hating on skinny big-chested women. Sorry to inform you of this fact, but many of US are not fake.

There’s always room for improvement, but for the most part, I think her diet is quite healthy when you compare it to many others. She’s got every area covered, and she does NOT eliminate carbs. I see oats, burrito (tortilla), and matzo ball. I’d be more concerned that she’d be using whole grains, or at least minimally processed ones. Carb’s are not the enemy when the right ones are chosen. Anyway, I think she’s got a very healthy approach to eating especially for Hollywood.

Annie, she has talked it over with her doctor and if her doctor agrees with her plan, then who are we to say she is doing anything wrong.The doctor is the one with a medical degree and knows more about his/her patient than we do.

That is not enough calories for a BFing new mom. No way. Sure she looks great, but this is a totally unrealistic (and unhealthy!) plan for the average new mom. And that taut band can’t be good or comfortable to wear right after having a baby.

Thank you for the healthy tips Brooke-please keep them coming!

I ate that way for a while and can tell you that a normal day eating regular portions of what she suggested is around 1000 calories (1 cup oatmeal 150 cal, yogurt 100 cal, sashimi 300 cal, apple and almonds 200 cal, 4 oz of salmon 250 cal). It’s not easy to do and it’s no wonder she’s so tiny!

I think she looks great tho.

Whitney I totally agree with you. What brooke is doing is living a healthy lifestyle, it’s not considered a diet because a diet is when you are trying to lose weight, and brooke from what I have read through the years eats healthy overall, it’s her way of living. But so many people are used to not eating healthy, that to them this is considered like dieting and starving. But it’s really not though, chicken, chicken salads, tuna salad, yoguart, cereal,oatmeal what’s so bad about that, it’s not like she is eating just carrots all day lol. As for her children, maybe they eat different than her sometimes, for example she might eat oatmeal for breakfast, but the kids might eat cereal or pancakes, but maybe for dinner she makes grilled chicken for the whole family. For the average people eating like this is probably not the norm, but I’m willing to bet for most celebrities that are in their 30’s and 40’s and are wearing a size 2 after a few kids, you can rest assure their not eating burgers and fries on a regular basis lol. What I like about brooke is she isn’t saying some lame excuse like kelly ripa says like oh I’m skinny just from running after the kids, nah that’s usually not the case because if that was the case every mother would be tooth pick skinny like kelly ripa just from being with the kids. At least brooke is honest and says she looks the way she does, from eating and working out, whiich makes sense because as a personal trainer I can tell you there’s no secret to be skinny. It just takes proper eating habits or eat what you want in moderation, but also work out reguarly. And as for plastic surgery she has admitted to getting her boobs done, but I don’t think she had anything done to her stomach because after each kid you see her walking around fine within a week just like when she had rain, and when you get say a tummy tuck, you need to recover for a few weeks.
