Superslim Princess Beatrice keeps shedding pounds thanks to 'water and fruit diet'

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Slim Bea: Princess Beatrice cuts a svelte figure compared with pictures of her in a larger frock of similar hue she wore two years ago, right


Does Princess Beatrice's yo-yo figure know no bounds?

The 22-year-old, who has struggled with her weight in the past, turned more than a few heads this weekend with her incredibly svelte figure, which appears to have shrunk further than ever.

Beatrice, who shed 2st before last year’s London Marathon, showed off her even slimmer frame as she attended a polo event at Cowdray Park in West Sussex wearing a short blue belted cocktail dress.

It was a dramatic contrast with a larger frock of similar hue she wore two years ago.


Young love: Beatrice was at the event with boyfriend Dave Clark

She now looks at least two sizes smaller, and credits a fitness regime based on exercise, lots of water and plenty of fruit and vegetables, with keeping the weight off.

Speaking about the pictures, she said at the time: 'I could probably do with losing the odd pound though, so perhaps it's the kick I need.

'It was such an unflattering bikini and I've got one that's so much nicer, so I could have kicked myself for wearing it.

'I thought people were a bit mean, although I know it comes with the territory.
'The trouble is, I don't have much confidence so it can be quite upsetting.'


Inspired: It was the unflattering pictures of the princess on a beach in St Barts that spurred her on to lose two stone and run the London Marathon as part of a charity team tied together


There has been no let up this year for the princess, who took part in the Windsor half marathon in September.

She managed to complete the run in a very respectable two hours and 16 minutes.

Then, in April she completed the London Marathon with her American boyfriend David Clark as part of a charity team tied together.

They formed a human caterpillar of 34 people who ran the 26.2mile course together along with Sir Richard Branson's two children Sam and Holly.

Experiment concludes dirty jeans not a health risk

Experiment concludes dirty jeans not a health risk


Edmonton, Alberta, Canada (AHN) - Young people who argue with their parents over wearing the same pair of smelly and tattered jeans could not cite an experiment that what they are doing may not be unhealthy at all. They can cite the case of a 20-year old University of Alberta student who wore the same $167 Nudie Jeans pair for 15 months straight or about 200 times beginning September 2009.

John Le wore the skin-tight jeans - made of raw denim which was not treated or washed with chemicals when manufactured - almost every day and even had the denim pants on while sleeping. Aside from daily use, the Le's jeans was sometimes spilled with food, but he only wiped the spill with a paper towel.

At the end of the 15 months, Le and University of Alberta Assistant Human Ecology Professor Rachel McQueen swabbed the inside of the jeans for bacteria. The jeans yielded normal bacteria levels.

Then Le washed the pants, wore the pair again for 13 straight days and had the apparel tested again. The bacteria levels were almost similar to the first test, which said the bacteria counts were highest in the crotch area at 10,000 units per square centimeter. However, there was no E. coli or other bacteria from fecal matter, McQueen disclosed on Wednesday.

The results of the experiment underscore the importance of underwear, which Le wore underneath. McQueen said that while the experiment indicated wearing jeans for months is likely safe for a normal, healthy person, she recommended at least a once-a-month wash for the smelly denim.

To reduce the smell, Le tripled bag the jeans and froze the pants every other week.

On Christmas, his brothers gifted him with a $185 Naked and Famous jeans, which Le had worn for 19 consecutive days. He wants to make another experiment by going for 18 or 24 months without washing the denim trousers.

Miley Cyrus, aka Hannah Montana, Rejected $1 million Offer from LifeStyles Condoms!!

Miley Cyrus, aka Hannah Montana, 15, has rejected a $1 million (£500,000) offer form condom makers LifeStyles Condoms to become its spokesgirl. The VP of marketing for LifeStyles Condoms says:
"With recent reports showing that one out of four teenage girls has an STD and the high level of teenage pregnancy, we believe that Miley is both influential and relatable to this afflicted set - and is the obvious choice to get the message of safe sex out to teens across America." [Source]
They think that the Hannah Montana star could encourage teens to practice safe sex. Ummm... what is the reason for this rejection?? I would argue the real reason is Miley think she's turning into a huge skank!! HaHaHaHa... What do you think??

Tragic story of Renee Williams - The 70 stone mum!!!

Just want to share this interesting tragic story with you all!!! Renee Williams(a 29-year-old mother of two), from Austin, Texas, has became the heaviest person ever to have gastric bypass surgery earlier this year after ballooning to nearly seventy stone.
Renee was classified as super-morbidly obese at the age of 12. She was married by the age of 15 and had her first child, Mirina, at 16 weighing 30 stone. She had grown to a massive 35 stone by the time she had her second daughter Mariah.

In 2003, she was hit by a drunken driver in an accident that left her unable to walk because her leg was crushed. She became bedridden and began eating even more. Renee piled on more and more weight and by 2007 she was nearing 70 stone.
She begged doctors to perform the operation when she became so large that she couldn't hug her two children.
"I understand the risks but I am not going to make it if I don't have the surgery," Renee said at the time.

"I want to be able to care for my daughters and see them graduate high school."
The operation was successful and Renee lost four stone due to her reduced stomach capacity before dying of a sudden heart attack 12 days later.

David Smith, 630 lbs, loses 400 lbs without surgery!!!

David Smith (R) with his personal trainer Chris Powell (L).

Four and half years ago, David Smithweighed more than 630 pounds. He had spent nearly a decade on the couch in his parents' house eating pizza, raiding the fridge, and drinking soda. Now 31 years old, he has lost more than 400 pounds with the help of a personal trainer - Chris Powell, fitness correspondent for Good Morning Arizona, a local news broadcast on KTVK in Phoenix.

His remarkable transformation didn't happen overnight. It took more than two years of total dedication; tears of disappointment and grins of glory. Yet his new body is not his greatest gift. It's friendship … something Smith never dreamed he'd know. Link & Video.

Powell works with Smith three times a week for an hour-long workout on machines at the gym.
