Diets A-Z: Celebrity diet secrets

by Dawn Gay

With the latest size zero fad sweeping Hollywood, celebrities are under increasing pressure to look good and be slim. But not every celebrity is a natural-born size eight and we've hunted down their diet secrets.




Minnie sheds pounds - and boyfriends

Minnie DriverAfter years of yo-yo dieting for the big screen, piling on pounds for various roles and even dabbling with the Atkins Diet, Minnie Driver has found the one sure-fire way to lose weight - get dumped. Her recent heartbreak, losing her magician boyfriend Criss Angel to Cameron Diaz, has left the actress alone on the red carpet - and 10 pounds lighter.

Minnie had to out on twenty pounds for the `fatter friend' she played in Circle of Friends and lost pounds to play a drug addict in last year's US TV show The Riches. But are these roles to blame for Minnie's weight loss fluctuations - or is it her notoriously unlucky love life - Minnie says, 'When a woman puts on weight for a role she's called fat. It's so unfair. I was a bit lardy-arsed for a while, and then I was fit again.'

Geri hits the gym

Geri Halliwell With the Spice Girls' reunion tour in December and January could Geri be putting herself under pressure to look as skinny as her band mate Mrs Becks? Renowned for her excessive yo-yo dieting and battles with bulimia, Ginger is now sporting a miniscule frame as she prepares for the spotlight.

Before recently Geri was proud of her curves, she said they enhanced her love life and claimed that diets weren't here thing. 'When I was skinny, my love life was like a desert, but the minute I got a few pounds on me, it all changed,' she once claimed.

But the Spice Girl who used to flaunt curves in her trademark Union Jack mini ten years ago is now Skinny Spice again and is back to the regimental dieting and hard-core workouts. The show is said to be an epic event with many costumes changes and Geri says, 'When you are on tour, there is nowhere to hide. You are singing and dancing in skimpy outfits and I want to feel comfortable in my body and have stamina.' Let's hope petit Geri still has some Girl Power left in her tiny body.
