Diet Secrets of the Hollywood Stars
Are you really ready for the big scoop? The complete truth about Hollywood diet secrets? I promise you, this is the real deal, and I'm going to back it up with hard evidence, so get ready to take notes. Here's the lowdown on the dieting secrets of the Hollywood stars:
There are none.
Want proof? I compiled the following from recent interviews and articles on the dieting 'secrets' of Hollywood stars: Alicia Silverstone is a vegan. Joan Lunden eats fruit. Jennifer Aniston is on the Zone. Diane Sawyer does the Cabbage Soup Diet. Heather Locklear likes McDonald's and French fries. Jennifer Lopez eats eight mini-meals. Claudia Schiffer sips green tea. Melanie Griffith drinks smoothies. Demi Moore eats lots of protein. Nia Peeples shuns protein. Kelly Preston eats oatmeal and bagels. In other words, as the brilliant writer William Goldman once said about Hollywood: 'Nobody knows anything.'
In fact, the only remotely sensible statement I found anywhere in researching this column was one by Sarah Michelle Gellar, who basically said, 'Look, it's crazy for people to try to be as thin as we are. We have personal trainers and personal chefs. It's our job to look this way.'
Even then, it isn't easy. Check out some of those 'candid' photos of the stars when they're not made up and done up and dressed up and are just relaxing on the beach, not realising they're being stalked by some paparazzo with a 500mm telephoto lens and a contract with the tabloids.
No, we'd love to believe that everyone in Hollywood has the magic secret, and if only we could work out what it was, we too could look like they do. Nice theory, but it has a few holes in it.
Number one: There's no 'they.' Hollywood stars come in all shapes and sizes and metabolic and genetic types just like we do, they have varying degrees of addiction just like we do, they have varying degrees of discipline and motivation just like we do, and they respond completely differently to different regimens. Just like we do.
