Hi and welcome back to My Health And Fitness Today. A bit of fun today, on Saturday i bought The Daily Mail, and in their Weekend magazine they gave their hotlist of…. Celebrity Fad Diets. So let’s have a little chuckle at what the rich and famous will do for their ‘art’.

Now i don’t know if there was any particular order of importance to this list, but for fun we’re going to present it as a countdown, so rolling straight in at….

  • # 10: The Purple Diet - Apparently Mariah Carey uses or has used this little beauty to hone her figure, which involves eating only grapes, beetroot and other purple foods 3 times a week… mmmm yummy…
  • # 9: Grapefruit Oil -  This, allegedly gives off a scent that represses your hunger pangs, and the bootiful, bouncy botty babe J-Lo never leaves home without a bottle to sniff on when she gets the urge to snack…. mad as a bloody hatter.
  • # 8: Ice Cubes – Yeah yeah yeah i know what your thinking, but apparently this is how Renee Zellweger dumped the fat from her stint as Bridget Jones… well this may not be as daft as it sounds, as all top fitness trainers should tell you, drinking plenty of water throughout the day is a must, not only to rehydrate you but to give you a feeling of fullness, so staving off the hunger pangs, so chewing on ice cubes will do ok depending on how many you eat, and the very act of chewing helps too. Not a lot of fun though!
  • # 7: The Breatharian Diet – Oh here we go, here’s a corker, all you’re allowed to consume is – hot air!? Based on extreme fasts practiced by Eastern mystics…what a lot of hot air, dear me do not try that one at home children!
  • # 6: The Cookie Diet – Involves eating four buscuits instead of breaskfast and lunch…. Depends on what the buscuits were, but going by the sugar, salt and fat content of most cookies i reckon you’d end up fatter than when you first started, no thank you!
  • # 5: The Baby Food Diet – This is straight from LA where grown women gorge on pots of mashed swede and banana to stay slim… I think you’d have to have the mentality of a baby to follow that one!
  • # 4: Ear Stapling – Claims are that having a staple clipped around the cartilage in the centre of your ear can also suppress hunger…. as well as make you look bloody ridiculous and in so much pain that you forget about food anyway, maybe i’ll try that on the wife first, now where is that stapler…?
  • # 3: The Raw Food Diet – Some stars like Demi Moore believe that cooking food destroys it’s goodness, and yes it does to a certain extent, so no smart arse remarks about this one, eating raw veggies like carrots and broccoli is a great between meals healthy snack, just don’t try chomping through a raw chicken eh?
  • # 2: The Cabbage Soup Diet – I think most people have heard of this one, devotees are said to include Sarah Michelle Gellar who swear by it, and yes you can eat as much as you want as long as it’s Cabbage Soup… my missus would leave me for sure if i tried this, Chicago would have nothing on me brother, know what i’m saying eh? Phew?

And finally in the number one spot for the ‘mad as a box of frogs celebrity fad diets‘ is # 1: The Master Cleanse Diet is said to have stripped the duty off Beyonces booty! This probably did work as you have to replace food with a mixture of lemon juice, maple syrup and cayenne pepper, wow! I think Beyonce should report to me immediately for a thorough examination and assessment to evaluate the effectiveness of this procedure…heh heh heh.. come her B…

Listen guys and girls, ignore all of the above, you DON’T NEED ANOTHER FAD DIET! You just need to start by making small lifestyle changes that will eventually lead to a big difference.

Most personal trainers and fitness gurus will tell you that you must eat six meals a day (every 3 hours) have you ever tried that? It’s hard, and eventually it gets you down, especially if you miss one, because you put yourself under stress.

I stripped my fat by eating 3 good meals a day with healthy snacks in between, such as apples and mixed nuts. This makes it much easier to follow, and it keeps your metabolism, that little fat furnace inside you burning away. Of course i exercised as well, to help build lean muscle which helps to burn your fat during your rest periods and sleep time!

Ditch the diets, change your life  for good!

All the best Paul from My Health And Fitness Today
