Nikki Haskell Uses Her Business and Celebrity Savvy To Help Others Lose Weight

You’ve probably seen Nikki Haskell on her billboard on Sunset Boulevard or on the E! True Hollywood Story of Donald Trump. Perhaps you’ve read about her fabulous parties in Page 6 or People.

For 25 years Nikki has been the face and founder of StarCaps, an all-natural blend of papaya and garlic that helps to shed pounds. Nikki, inspired by the accomplishments of women like Estee Lauder, is a bona fide entrepreneur having grown a multi-million dollar business catering to the people she knows best…celebrities. A former Wall Street stockbroker, Nikki shifted her focus to the entertainment industry and became a film producer, talk show hostess, and an extraordinary party-giver. Eventually she would land in the fields of health and beauty establishing Balanced Health Products with a bevy of sell-out products, including StarCruncher Resistance Cords and her book Star Diet, now in its third edition.

LA’s the Place: What do you recommend for losing weight and staying thin like the celebrities in show business, models and star athletes?

Nikki Haskell: Of course I recommend taking STARCAPS(r), but it’s also very important to eat healthy and exercise regularly. I suggest lowering your calorie and carbohydrate intake and eating smaller portions of food.  Your diet should consist of small amounts of protein three times a day, fruits and vegetables. Of course, drinking lots of water is a must. If you feel the need for carbs, snack on a thin breadstick or cracker or two.

And stay away from alcohol as much as possible, particularly mixed drinks – very fattening.

LATP: What are the secrets to healthy eating and weight loss that the stars follow?

NH: Most of the stars that are in really good shape eat a well-regimented diet that they have been sticking to most of their life. They never starve themselves, and they never yo-yo diet. They really exhibit a lot of control over what they eat and drink. But they also don’t deprive themselves of something that they really want to eat. When you deprive yourself is when you increase your chances of binge eating.

Most of the women I know eat grapefruit or a poached egg for breakfast. For lunch, salads, lettuce, tomatoes, iceberg lettuce has no calories, no nutrients either or no calories. Soup with broth and vegetables is also a popular food for stars watching their weight, because you get the nutrients you need and still feel full. Of course you have to avoid soups with cream and pasta. I have plenty of soup recipes in my book, Star Diet.

LATP: How do STARCAPS work?

NH: STARCAPS is a blend of papaya and garlic containing a unique combination of natural plant ingredients designed to supplement a well-balanced diet. They are made in Peru using a drying process to help preserve the enzyme activity of papaya grown in the Peruvian Amazon, as well as the dietary integrity of fresh garlic grown in the mountains of Arequipa, Peru.

As a dietary supplement, STARCAPS should be taken once a day in the morning for the first two days. It’s important to take them with a glass of orange juice, banana or potassium.

LATP: What are the ways stars stay thin when they go to parties and restaurants?

NH: First, go out to dinner with people who are health conscious or on a diet themselves. Order something low fat, low carbs and low calorie. Skip the heavy dressing, sauce and gravy. Never ever eat off of someone else’s plate, and skip the doggy bag. If you must drink, stick with vodka.

As for parties, well I know a lot about that! If the invitation says seven-thirty, arrive at eight-fifteen. Somebody has to be the first to arrive, but it doesn’t have to be you. This way, you’ll only have time for a drink and a few hors d’oeuvres.

Eat only those foods that are low in calories such as crudités. If there is something irresistible, take a small piece so that you don’t feel deprived.

You can allow yourself one spoonful of caviar, a single slice of smoked salmon on the world’s tiniest piece of black bread, and a glass of champagne.

Don’t stand near the food table, and don’t take a plate.

LATP: What are your secrets for success as a Hollywood diet expert for the last 25 years?

NH: I’ve had a product that has been on the market for 25 years; virtually no returns and 70 percent repeat business. STARCAPS have proven the test of time. The brand StarCaps is known all over the world – Italy, China, Australia, Spain, France, Sweden, Germany…

LATP: Tell me about some of your celebrity friends and how they stay thin and healthy?

NH: Joan Collins is one of my favorite positive women who has always kept great control of her eating and exercise habits. She is always stays a head of the game. The women that are successful in this business always have control over their situations, their lifestyle. They get up every day and know what their workout regime is. Dieting isn’t a one shot deal; it’s a way of life.

LATP: How do STARCAPS get their pink shade?

NH: With natural papaya coloring.
