Celebrity diets

"Many popular diets promoted by thin celebrities are not backed up by research and can be unhealthy. Undoubtedly some 'diets' exclude whole foods and important nutrients as well as advocating short term weight loss. Their success is supported by testimonials rather than published research." - Dr Claire MacEvilly, nutrition communications manager with Britain's Medical Research Council.
Many people need role models, so when they want to lose weight or find a diet that can make them look sexy and thin, they look to our favorite stars. Is it a detox diet, atkins, blood type diet, low glycemix index or some sort of fad diet?

Beyonce: "I only eat grilled things and I try to eat five small meals a day rather than big, heavy ones. I don't deprive myself of something if I really want it. But if I'm going to have something bad then I make sure it's a small portion."

Jerry Hall "I never eat between meals and I don't eat junk food. I mostly stick to fish, vegetables and chicken. But I do love chocolate, coffee, red wine and cigarettes..."

Meg Mathews "I've tried them all. The Beverly Hills diet, the pineapple diet, the Scarsdale diet, food combining, the Zone diet and the Atkins diet - which I hated. Now I just eat sensibly. I eat what I like but in moderation and I am not a big dairy fan."

Katie Holmes "I get so sad when I see people who are really thin or really overweight. You can tell their spirit is hurting. We shouldn't do that to ourselves."

Kirstie Allsopp "I'm a working woman with a busy life, and I want to maintain my weight without having to carry a book in my bag to remind me of what I can and can't eat. Instead, I replace one meal a day with a bowl of Special K. It helps enormously."
