“Hollywood stars are utra thin, with perfect size zero bodies, but some take it to the extreme”
Today’s Hollywood stars are utra thin, with perfect size zero bodies, but some take it to the extreme with bodies whittled literally to bone protruding skinny figures. When quized about their extremely thin figures, celebrities rave about their “amazing genetic backgrounds”, to maintaining an ultra dedicated “healthy diet” with virtually no calories coupled with strenuous “fitness routines”. Of course, when they are caught on camera eating junk food late at night their slimming tales obviously come up short . Clearly, a lot of them are lying. So here are some celebrity diet facts that can help explain their weight loss success:
Hollywood Stars Diet Secrets Exposed
Celebrity Secret #1 - They take diet drugs
“Hollywood’s party girls always seem to have access to certain drugs known to help shed pounds. At the moment, Phenternin is the latest diet drug craze in Hollywood, and the number of celebrities using it continues to rise.”
Manhattan-based trainer Justin Gelband, who works with catwalk and catalogue models, says: “Diet pills and steroids are huge right now. After Kate Moss was caught supposedly doing coke, the modelling agencies started to crack down on girls using hardcore drugs like cocaine and heroin to stay slim. ”So now it’s more diet pills and steroids; they are easier to hide and, if pressed, the girls can say that they have a prescription.”
When Lindsay Lohan was arrested on suspicion of drink-driving, police said they found cocaine in her pocket. Paris Hilton recently admitted to U.S. talk show host Larry King that she takes Adderall for attention deficit disorder. Both drugs are often used by women looking to lose weight. Hollywood’s party girls always seem to have access to certain drugs known to help shed pounds. At the moment, Phenternin is the latest diet drug craze in Hollywood, and the number of celebrities using it continues to rise. Just about every female celebrity arrested - from Paris to Nicole, from Lindsay to Britney Spears - has had prescription diet aides in their pocketbook. The Phenternin diet pill kills the appetite and is even available online. For the jet-set, hard-partying girl it has become the miracle pill - one, however, with potentially dangerous side effects when over prescribed. Some celebrities also take the Hoodia90 diet pill, known as “the cactus diet”. Commonly used to suppress the appetite and with a large 2,400mg daily dose of the diet drug.
Celebrity Secret #2 - They live at the gym
Did you see the photos of a skeletal-looking Teri Hatcher jogging through Hollywood with weights in both hands and bones protruding-through her skin?
Or how about Goldie Hawn’s daughter actress Kate Hudson, where in her quest to shed the extra weighed she gained while pregnant with son Ryder, admitted to working out up to three hours daily for three months.
And how about Jessica Simpson, did you know that to prepare for her role as the sexy Daisy Duke, Jessica Simpson worked out for two hours a day, six days a week.
The general manager at a Crunch gym in Hollywood, a celebrity favorite hangout, even told Glamour magazine: “There’s one singer-actress who works out at my gym for about five hours a day, even on weekends. She spent her birthday here.”
Celebrity Secret #3 - They eat virtual nothing
She would rise in the morning and eat one and then have one or two at the end of the day. That was her entire diet.
“It’s a self-defeating strategy, you need to eat enough, and particularly protein, to build lean and toned muscle in the first place.”
Celebrity Secret #4 - They fast
Supermodel trainer Gelband admits: “I had one girl who was living on Diet Coke and peanuts. She drank three to five Diet Cokes a day and ate a big bag of nuts. If she got hungry, she smoked. Her eyes had huge bags under them and she looked wasted. When we tried to work out, we had to stop every five minutes. It was awful.”
Paris Hilton caused a stir when she walked into New York restaurant Nobu recently. When a waiter asked the heiress for her order, he was quietly told: “Mineral water.” In fact, over the course of her two-hour “meal”, Paris took sips of water and Red Bull - she didn’t eat a single bite.
And she’s not alone. Super-slim Desperate Housewives star Marcia Cross was spotted dining at a restaurant a few years back with her now husband Tom Mahoney. According to one eyewitness: “He ordered sea bass and prawns, but she just sipped fruit juice.” Marcia recently admitted to the pressure to be thin: “Not eating is a constant struggle. It’s like they pay me not to eat. It’s a living hell.”
Then there’s the master cleanse, otherwise known as the lemonade diet: water mixed with maple syrup, lemon juice and cayenne pepper. Beyonce admitted following it for two weeks to drop one-and-a-half stone for the film Dreamgirls, and Jared Leto used it to shed the two stone he’d gained to play Mark Chapman in the film Chapter 27.
Gunnar Peterson calls it the “You’re an idiot” diet. ”I had a client who did it and I thought he was ill,” says Peterson. ”His skin was grey and his eyes had terrible dark circles under them. He was shuffling when he walked, and this was after only ten days!”
One of Hollywood’s dirty little secrets is the “IV diet”, in which celebrities check themselves into hospital to get put on an IV so they can avoid eating altogether. Peterson says of the IV diet: “This is beyond ridiculous. If you’re doing this you’re not fat, you’re crazy!”
Celebrity Secret #5 - They abuse laxative teas
Britney Spears has never been shy about her love for junk food and engages in all kinds of behaviour to counteract her taste for Taco Bell. She smokes, drinks coffee and Red Bull, has diet pills in her bag and takes Adderall. She has also been seen hitting all-night drugstores, shopping for laxatives. And she is certainly not alone.
Today, many actresses are taking laxatives in the form of “dieter’s tea”, which has a mild laxative effect. Some starlets are drinking up to ten cups a day.
Trainer Gelband says: “The latest trend among models is mixing laxative tea with the master cleanse diet. All they drink is master cleanse and laxative tea.”
Celebrity Secret #6 - They chain-smoke
Grey’s Anatomy star Katherine Heigl looks to have lost a stone in the last year. She may be following a healthy eating plan, but she appears to have a secret weapon - she smokes constantly. A few days ago, the beautiful blonde was spotted having lunch in Los Angeles. She ordered just a salad, but spent the meal chain-smoking. Nowadays she is rarely photographed without a cigarette in her mouth, and when she isn’t smoking, she is clutching a pack.
Marc David, nutritional psychologist and author of The Slow Down Diet says: “It’s a choice, really. You are choosing possible lung cancer and death over treating your body with respect, all in an effort to be slim.”
Celebrity Secret #7 - They guzzle caffeine
Paparazzi shots regularly show Hollywood’s skinniest actresses, such as Renee Zellweger and Mary-Kate Olsen, sporting giant sunglasses and regularly coming out of Starbucks clutching gigantic cups of coffee. This is a trend in Hollywood, where many believe coffee not only speeds up their metabolism but also keeps them from eating. ”One client I had would eat almost nothing all day, she just drank coffee constantly,” says trainer to the stars Peterson. ”She’d have some lettuce in the afternoon, and drink coffee instead of dinner. Working out was a waste of time because of the state she was in.” Marc David says: “Coffee and caffeine can actually make you fat. If you’re drinking too much, the caffeine mimics the stress response in our bodies and your cortisol and insulin levels rise. These elevated levels of stress hormone signal the body to store fat.”
Celebrity Secret #8 - They wear a nicorette patch
Peterson says: “I had one guy using a Nicorette patch, not to quit smoking but to stop food cravings! This is a ridiculous approach and definitely won’t work.”During the filming of Cold Mountain, there were rumours that one famous actress on set ate only boiled eggs.And apparently she is not alone.Celebrity trainer David Kirsch says: “I had a client who was getting ready for the Oscars and all she ate was one meal a day - of two boiled eggs! I was able to persuade her to add some almonds and a protein shake and some vitamin supplements.
