Have you ever wondered how actors stay in such great shape? You know they couldn't starve themselves all the time, because you can see their weight fluctuate from movie to movie, depending on the role they're playing. The fact is Hollywood's slim and slender are hiding a dark secret from you, their adoring fan.

Why would these movie stars hide such an effective and powerful weight loss secret? Why not sign contracts for endorsements and make even more money while gaining more publicity? Why not share this information with the general public and put an end to obesity and weight-related diseases in America? Don't they care enough about their faithful fans to share this secret?

These celebrities have their reasons. Think about it: what is a movie star's most valuable asset? You might say "talent" but I disagree because some actors and actresses are successful with only a minimal amount of skill (have you turned on a television lately?) You might be thinking it's their looks or physical appearance. I would argue that's not it either, because some successful actors and actresses are able to maintain their popularity long after their physical beauty begins to fade.

An actor's most valuable asset is their REPUTATION. See, reputation is a combination of popularity, looks, news and the star's ability to entertain. Some stars maintain a scandalous reputation because it gets them more press. Some stars actually provide entertainment through their negative press. For the most part, your favorite actors and actresses try to protect themselves from bad press.

What does this have to do with the hidden weight loss secret?

Since they don't want bad press, and since part of their job is to look good, who in their right mind would be willing to have their "before" photos splashed on the cover of the Enquirer or the National Star? Hollywood does not want you to know what they look like when they're not at their best.

Have you ever noticed that when an actress is between movies, we don't see very much of her in the limelight? When movie stars are between projects, they typically pack on some additional pounds. It's not so much that we wouldn't recognize them, but enough to turn up the pressure when they're trying to impress directors, producers and casting agents. Five to ten pounds could make or break a big role, or even a smaller role that could lead to a starring role.

So what's the dirty little Hollywood secret, and why hasn't the Enquirer uncovered it yet? We already know these stars have personal trainers, and in most cases, they follow strict nutritional plans. We know they exercise for several hours every day, since being in shape and looking great is a requirement for the job. But what else are they hiding?

The answer is quite simple: supplements.

Most high-profile actors and actresses (and even some well-known musicians and professional athletes) use diet pills to supplement their cardiovascular exercise, nutrition and weight training efforts. Supplements are particularly helpful when these superstars are looking to quickly drop those unsightly "off-season" pounds. So why the big secret? Simple, these celebrities want to maintain their "larger-than-life" persona, and also don't want to be perceived as "pill-poppers."

I personally reviewed several diet pills, and two in particular stand out above the crowd. The first is an all-natural, yet unlikely combination of cayenne, ginger root, apple cider vinegar, bromelain and potassium, which provides immediate and impressive results. At first, I was skeptical to try a diet pill, but since the company offers an unconditional money-back guarantee, I tried it myself. I was thrilled with results and I also lost two dress sizes in four weeks. I found the product at www.NiteTrimDirect.com

The other product is Ma huang, widely known as Ephedra, a natural substance which has been used in Eastern healing methods for centuries. Ephedra sales temporarily ceased in the United States when a short-lived ban was enacted, but the ban has since been lifted and supplements containing natural ephedra are now considered safe for human consumption. This product has the added benefit of increased metabolism, energy and fat burning capabilities, and can be found at www.BetaFuelDirect.com This company currently claims to be the ONLY online source of ephedra since the ban was lifted.

These supplements are used by many Hollywood celebrities and are now available to you and the general public. Now that the cat's out of the bag, you can finally have the Hollywood results that you deserve. No one guarantees that you will land any starring movie roles, but the makers of NiteTrim guarantee that you will lose weight and be satisfied with the product.
