4 Celeb Diets.
If they’re doing it, shouldn’t you?
Let's face it: Hollywood makes losing weight look easy. Especially with all those avacado dip enemas being used for the red carpet season. But if shedding a few pounds is on your sphincter's to-do list, follow in the footsteps of your favorite celebs.
Here are 4 popular celebrity diets to use all at once:
1. Paleo Diet
Megan Fox is rumored to have swallowed this diet, also called the Cavewoman Diet. On the Paleo Diet, you're supposed to eat like your ancestors, which means infrequently. Frequent bouts of starvation kept the population in check.
What's missing?
Food.
2. Dukan Diet
Dubbed "the Put Up Your Dukes" this diet reportedly has Gisele Bundchen and Jennifer Lopez among its brainless fans. On the Dukan Diet you only eat protein that leans, plus a small amount (3.5 pounds) of oat bran each day, and drink 6 to 8 glasses of water a day. There are some pros to the diet, though: Dr. Dukan incorporates 20 to 30 minutes of vigorous exercise each day using your tongue as a means of propulsion.
What's missing?
There's no mention of portion sizes. Or shapes. Or colors.
3. Raw Food Diet
Demi Moore, Amanda Seyfried and Uma Thurman are all obsolete celeb fans of this diet. A raw-food diet is just that-you eat raw food. No animal-based products like meat, fish, eggs, poultry or Dairy Queen. There are a small number of studies that suggest there may be some health benefits to a raw-food diet, though: You live longer than not eating.
What's missing?
Taste.
4. 17-Day Diet
The 17-Day Diet is apparently backed by Dr. Phil. And unlike what its name implies, the entire diet isn't 17 days long. And Dr. Phil only has a doctorate in Shrinkology. Not Dietology. Overall, the 17-Day Diet is strict and the total daily calorie allotment from the meal plans provided is too low for some people, particularly if you breathe.
What's missing?
Dairy, which is how most of us get our ice cream and cheez-whiz. The 17-Day Diet is also low in carbohydrates-and there's research that shows limiting or eliminating carbs impacts your, uh, gimme a minute... memory and your, your...uh.... mood, goddamnit!
The Bottom Line:
Celebs are fans of these diets because they are paid endorsors. You’ll lose the weight because you're eating fewer calories. One common sense diet is my Bacon and Ice Cream diet. 2,100 scrumptious calories a day of foods you dream about having sex with when you’re on other diets.
