Celebrity Diet Secrets Spilled

If you read Perez Hilton, have a subscription to “People” magazine or have just stood in line at the grocery store, uh, ever, then you know that celebrity weight is a hot topic. Celebrities get flack for gaining weight, losing weight, and are constantly asked for their diet and fitness tips.

Is it a good idea to get diet or fitness advice from a celebrity? Probably not. Even though many of them work with nutritionists and fitness professionals, plenty others try insane crash diets that do way more harm than good. Your best bet: checking in with a pro before you try any new diet or fitness regimen. That’s the best way to know if what you’re doing will: 1. Work. And 2. Be safe for you in the long run.

You won’t believe the crazy things actresses will try, but I guess when your job literally depends on it you do what you’ve gotta do.
