We were thrilled to be able to catch up recently with the busy Dr Fred Pescatore, nutritionist to many A-list celebrities and International models. Some of the high profile people on his impressive client list include Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattral, Renee Zelwegger and Kate Hudson. Dr Pescatore was in Ireland recently to promote the life changing health and wellness programme, Nutron Advanced. Dr Pescatore has spoken to us about issues such as comparisons between international and Irish models, celebrity weight loss and weight loss of celebrity mothers following the birth of their babies.
 
Q.  What do you see as being the main difference between International Fashion models and Irish models?

A.  Irish models look like a more everyday, natural woman which is appealing as opposed to an international fashion model, who is just an elongated clothes hanger.  The eating habits of international models, is unhealthy.  They eat little, smoke cigarettes, drink alcohol and basically have a poor diet.  This is the only way they know how to stay slim to fit into fashion.  
I ask international fashion models I work with “how did you lose so much weight for that campaign?” and they tell me they just didn’t eat for the week leading up to the campaign.  When I work with such clients they are shocked at the fact they can eat healthily and not put on weight.
 
Q.  What are your views on the celebrity weight loss and celebrity diets in general?

A.  Most celebrities lose weight too quickly.  This is an unnatural approach to weight loss. Losing weight too quickly for anyone sets them up to fail in the long term.  This can destroy your metabolism over the long term also.
 
Q.  What do you think of the rapid weight loss of celebrities such as Nicole Richie and Ellen Pompeo following the recent birth of their babies?

A.  It is unnatural following the birth of a baby that a woman would lose so much weight.  Due to this rapid weight loss, they are also most likely not to be breastfeeding and therefore not passing on their natural immunity to their children.
 
Q.  You spend most of the run up period to red carpet season in LA helping stars keep a balanced diet while maintaining their weight so they can still fit into their gowns during awards season.  What is the attitude of the A-List towards looking good during awards season?

A.  Celebrities become very focused on their weight in the run up to awards season.  They are no different to a normal person attending a wedding.  They are no different in their militancy towards losing weight or maintaining their figures other than the fact that there is no room for failure with them.  They often compare red carpet events to a wedding.
 
Q.  How does the ALCAT blood test, which is part of the NuTron Advanced plan, help people reach and maintain a healthy weight?

A.  This is natural and healthy for everyone.  The results for most people include cutting out sugar and avoiding processed carbohydrates.  Using a test like the ALCAT test which determines the foods specifically not for your body, means that you have a personalised eating plan through a simple blood test.  The ALCAT blood test is used by clients of mine such as Sarah Jessica Parker and Kate Hudson to help them lose weight, eradicate certain health problems and maintain their weight healthily while being able to eat a balanced diet.
