Speaking with Oprah Winfrey on the latter\u2019s TV show, Jennifer said: &#8220;It&#8217;s like a brand-new me.

He has to get adjusted to it just the same as I do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Originally started in the USA, Weight Watchers came to Britain about 35 years ago. It has one simple aim \u2013 to help millions of people lose weight. Today, it is a world wide and well respected organisation.<\/p>\n<p>Another celebrity that\u2019s aiming to lose weight is British actor, Christian Bale. A method actor, Bale believes in getting it \u2018right\u2019 for a part. As such, he lost a tremendous amount of weight for his part in a film called \u2018The Machinist\u2019. He was described as looking skeletal and freaky. Unfortunately, his appearance would not help anyone suffering from anorexia.<\/p>\n<p>More recently Bale decided to go on a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.medic8.com\/healthguide\/nutritionindex.htm\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"56\" title=\"diet\">diet<\/a> once more for his latest part as a rich architect in \u2018Concrete Island\u2019. His role involves being stranded in waste land in London, and has to try and survive with what he brought with him in his car and what he can find.<\/p>\n<p>Christian has a habit of losing weight for his art. He\u2019s only just recovered from another <a href=\"https:\/\/www.medic8.com\/cosmetic-surgery\/weight-loss-surgery.htm\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"46\" title=\"weight loss\">weight loss<\/a> bout for the film \u2018The Fighter\u2019 where he played the part of Dickey Eklund.<\/p>\n<p>Although it is admirable that an actor of the standard of Christian Bale should want to take all his roles seriously, is it healthy to continually mess around with dieting to do it?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a recent interview singer Jennifer Hudson spoke of how Weight Watchers helped her lose weight.
