WACKY CELEB DIET TIPS

FROM PINEAPPLES TO PINE NUTS, WE'VE GOT 20 DIFFERENT FOODS SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN TO HELP YOU SHED THOSE EXTRA POUNDS
By Laura Bond

Being hounded by paparazzi and seeing all of your worst moments plastered becoming front page news has understandably led celebrities to become paranoid about their weight.

But instead of just cutting down on the usual takeaways and chocolate, many follow some really rather crazy and disgusting regimes.

Here, in all their gory glory, are the top 10 worst ever diet tips!

When Liz Hurley wants to budge a few pounds quickly she lives on a diet of just watercress soup. She says, “I drink at least six cups a day when eager to lose a few pounds.”

Goldie Hawn keeps in shape with ‘green juice’. And it sounds yuk. The juice consists of blending celery, kale, parsley and green peppers together and serving in a glass with ice.

Madonna is well known for her strict workout regimes, but it seems she’s just as strict when it comes to her diet. Apparently to keep the weight off she only takes small mouthfuls and chews her food thoroughly. Dinner must take ages!

Angelina Jolie reportedly kept her skinny frame by following a diet of cockroaches, crickets and bee larvae. Not only that, she even gives eldest son Maddox suffers to by feeding him crickets. The wonders of new-age parenting!

To get in shape before The Spice Girls world tour, Victoria Beckham was reported to drink two pints of seaweed shakes a day! High in fibre and low in fat, Posh found the shakes were a great way to fill her up.

Becoming a mum can do strange things to people - and it seems that one of those people is Reece Witherspoon. Rumours in the US claim that the Legally Blonde star controlled her calorie intake by eating jars of baby food after she gave birth.

Black Eyed Peas star Fergie bizarrely makes sure she has two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar everyday to speed up her metabolism.

Heidi Klum is said to take a bath to lose weight. Apparently, the magnesium suphate in Epsom salts soaks away the pounds when poured into a hot bath.

Katie Holmes shifted her baby weight by following a veg-only diet and managed to lose a whopping 3st. She was said to be buying broccoli by the bucketload.

Beyonce admitted to living off a diet of water, cayenne pepper and maple syrup when she needed to lose weight for her role in the movie Dreamgirls. Yuck!
