The newest season of the Bachelor kicked off this week and with it came a whole new batch sexy women pining for the attention of a very eligible single man. The newest bachelor is Sonoma winemaker Ben Flajnik and he was the runner up for last season’s Bachelorette. Ben, like all of the previous Bachelor contestants, has what one might call a nice body. This brings about the question, what do the contestants on these shows do to achieve such nice physiques?

Previous Bachelor contestants like Jake Pavelka, Jason Mesnick, Brad Womack and Kirk DeWindt have shared their workout secrets. Just in time for the New Year we can take a look at the bodies that have stolen hearts and maybe have our men steal a few of their workout tips. Here’s how past contestants have stayed fit:

Jake Pavelka
Bachelorette season 5, Bachelor season 14

Jake worked with a trainer to get the best possible workout. He works on mainly isometric or biometric moves. This includes a lot of push-ups, pull-ups, leg lifts, and hurl throws. He also uses medicine balls and does a lot of weighted ab work to build bulk. For his cardio workouts, Jake usually chooses running or football on the beach. Jake was known for his rock hard abs while on the show, so apparently his hard work paid off. In an interview for DietsInReview.com, Jake told us that during his appearance on Dancing With the Stars he was consuming a 3800 calorie diet and still lost 10 pounds. So guys, maybe take your girlfriend up on those dance lessons!

Luke Conley is a 26-year-old former college football offensive lineman who stands 6’3″ and weighs more than 300 pounds. He is looking for love on Fox’s new reality show, More to Love. Hosted by plus-size supermodel Emme, the show, which premieres on Tuesday, July 28, chronicles 20 voluptuous ladies as they compete for Luke’s heart.

Proud of their size 14 bodies and unashamed to acknowledge that there is more to love with them, these 20 ladies have been hand-picked from around the country in an effort to slash the commonly-held stereotype that you must be a size 2 to win the heart of your Prince Charming.

At DietsInReview.com, we’ve always known what a smart, down-to-earth, and attractive guy Matt Johnson is.

He encourages us to push our limits, and now, he’s pushing some of his own.

He’s certainly the most eligible bachelor at DietsInReview.com, but will he become that on ABC’s The Bachelorette? Mathue will be joining 29 other single men on the fifth season of the popular reality show. This season stars Jillian Harris, who was unlucky in love on last season’s The Bachelor, starring Jason Mesnick.

If all of the skinny-minnies on the Bachelor have you feeling like there is no hope for an averaged-sized single guy or gal like yourself to find true love, think again. Fox network is just about to start  casting contestants for its new dating reality show “More to Love.”

Women who aren’t as glitzy and tiny as the Bachelorette hopefuls will vie for one man, who is being labeled as a “Kevin James type,” by going on extravagant dates. One new category that is being added is having contestants undergo a makeover, but not the physical kind. Instead, producers of More to Love want to send the message to viewers as well as the contestants that you don’t have to be a size 2 to find love. Producers are adamant that the women will not skinny down in order to make them more enticing to their potential suitor.

Bachelor Jason Mesnick created some serious drama amongst his finalists.

According to the status updates on Facebook, half of the population (including some men) were watching the Bachelor: After the Final Rose last night to see the twists, turns, and drama. I can only imagine the traffic if I was also connected through Twitter. The consensus seems to not be in Jason’s favor. The disapproval seems mostly focused toward Jason, not Molly, and certainly not Melissa, who handled herself well, especially considering the situation. A break up is always difficult, but I cannot imagine being on national television in that moment.
