The Atkins Method of Acting

I thought this article was very interesting. It really give detail about the actors/actresses in Hollywood and how they lose and gain weight for roles. This article makes me realize how these people make their living in the world. I guess if it were not for actors/actresses there would not be a Hollywood. Although what they do as far as losing and gaining weight for roles is very unhealthy for their bodies.
In America society it seems very popular with people to want to lose weight, but sometime after they lose the weight they gain it right back. Sometime its even double than what they lost. They see these Hollywood actors and think its alright to do what they do, but it really hurts them and its very unhealthy.

  1. I do agree that it is unfortunate that people struggle so much with their weight. I also agree that people might compare themselves to actors who seem to do it with ease and get frustrated when they can't. But, on the other hand, I don't believe people should be getting all caught up with how Hollywood portrays itself. It shouldn't hold that much weight with people. (No pun intended).

  2. It has to be very unhealthy for anyone to have their weight going up and down all the time. I think the actors on the big screen are protraying that it is an easy task to loose weight so easily. When actually, they have the help of personal cheifs and personal trainers. Besides the fact that they don't report to a job on a 8-5 daily basis. When they are working on a movie role, they have that one priority. You make an interesting point that loosing and gaining weight for your job is an interesting way to make a living.
