ULTIMATE NEW YORK DIET

By now you've probably gathered that I'm a slave to the fad diet. I mean, I have to try them to see if they work for me. Right?
Remember when Heidi Klum strutted her stuff at the Victoria's Secret fashion show just eight weeks after having a baby? Everyone was amazed and hailed her as the queen of the bounce-back-body. Lastnight on Access Hollywood, much to Nate's chagrin, I watched a segment featuring David Kirsch. David happens to be the man behind Heidi's notorious body bouncing. In the segment he talked about "The Ultimate New York Diet" and how it works for many trying to lose some excess weight. There were phases. I love phases. {Get the diet book here}













Phase 1 Ban Bloating Foods: "The first phase is the most restrictive," David tells Access. "No more egg nog and champagne."

Also no dairy or fruit for two weeks. "You lose all that bloat, you feel great, more energetic," he says.

Phase 2 Eat Healthy Carbs: In the second phase, you will eat really healthy carbs like lentils, beef and tuna salad with tomatoes.

Phase 3 Load Up On Lean Proteins: Lean proteins include lean meat, a lentil loaf or a bowl of eggs.

David's tip is to eat hard-boiled eggs when you are hungry. "We hard boil them in the morning. Keep them on the counter and pop them in your mouth every time you are hungry," he said. It's one of Heidi's favorites.

Extra Tips
Protein Shakes: If you're short on time and need a quick snack try a protein shake. "This is perfect for Access viewers," David says. "Just a little water and a packet of protein and a little hand blender."
