Cocaine & Coffee Diets of the Rich & Famous

Aside from showing celebrities tying their shoes, going out to dinner, and shopping for groceries, magazines glamorize celebrity diets. They try to show us these diets are so healthy and work so well, yet the people writing these articles don’t know the first thing about fitness. With pictures of rail-thin celebrities gracing the pages, a seed of self-doubt may already be planted in our heads. When we hear that Lindsay Lohan lost 20 pounds on her total cleanse diet (i.e. cigarettes and coke), we instantly think that these diets are healthy, and will work for us. See Full Post

• Mary Kate Olson

  

  Mary Kate often employs what she calls, “The Coffee Diet”. She consumes up to 12 cups of coffee a day, which she claims helps her lose weight. She’ll often stay on this diet for weeks at a time. Coffee is an appetite suppressant which really curbs her appetite and let’s her get by on next to nothing. Give this diet a try if you want to look like you are living through a third-world famine, otherwise steer clear.

• Kirstie Alley

  

  Kirstie Alley has probably tried every diet under the sun. Let this be a lesson to you. Fad diets do not work. If they did, she wouldn’t be blowing up and slimming down every few months for the past decade and a half.

• Jennifer Aniston

  

  For a while, it was reported that Aniston was on a strict baby food only diet. Aside from being a little weird, this diet provides nowhere near the calories needed for an average adult. We preach lifestyle changes on here, not fad diets; are you really going to bring your two little jars of pureed sweet potatoes and stewed green beans to the next dinner party attend? I don’t think so – get real.

• Lindsey Lohan

  

  Lindsay Lohan claims an 8ball a week helps her keep the weight off.

• Naomi Campbell

  

  Aside from being a raving lunatic, she is also a horrible dieter. Naomi has been known to diet on a mixture of maple syrup, cayenne pepper, water and lemon juice three times a year. She consumes this drink and this drink only for weeks at a time.

• Nicole Kidman

  

  When trying to slim down for a movie Nicole often goes on a hard-boiled egg diet. The Australian used to have an egg in the morning and 2 to 3 eggs throughout the day. I suppose when you have to look a certain way for a film, because it is your job, a crazy diet like this may be acceptable. However, the problem is the magazines purport that these diets are beneficial and give them impression that others should try to replicate them.
