Celebrity Diets

Miranda Kerr
Diet: Yoga, greens and plenty of water
New mother Miranda follows a sensible routine of eating a regular healthy breakfast, drinking plenty of water and eating greens. She says, “Eating healthily is a priority, not just for myself, but for my son. I’m breastfeeding so it’s really important. I love spinach, avocado, lots of greens and broccoli.”
She also practices a regular yoga routine, but isn’t afraid to pig out every now and again. She said: “I’m pretty much 80 per cent healthy, 20 per cent indulgent, because I don’t believe in depriving yourself,” adding that "nobody can be perfect all the time".


Gwyneth Paltrow
Diet: Macrobiotic
Gwyneth has been looking seriously foxy in her recent appearances on Glee and singing with Cee Lo Green. Her secret: an organic and macrobiotic diet. Gwyneth only eats 100% natural foods. No processed or refined food, meat, fish, eggs or dairy produce and she won't eat food that has been altered by cooking. Gwyneth survives on fruit, veg, whole grains, cereals, seeds and algae.





Sharon Stone
Diet: GI (glycaemix index)
The ageless Sharon Stone, who recently turned 53, has a figure most 20-year-olds would envy. Sharon follows Canadian dietician Rick Gallop's version of the GI diet, which is a system used to rank carbs according to their glycaemic index or speed at which they're aborbed by the body (red foods have a high GI and are cut out, yellows have a moderate GI and are limited, and greens have a low GI and are privileged). This is used alongside a balanced diet containing protein, fruit, veg and starch.




Demi Moore
Diet: The Zone
With a husband 16 years her junior, Demi has her work cut out to keep her body in check. Aside from the reported thousands of pounds spent on plastic surgery in recent years, Demi keeps looking young by following The Zone diet, brainchild of American nutitionist Barry Sears. It advocates a 40:30:30 approach (40% carbs, 30% protein and 30% fat); regular meals (at least 5 small meals a day); fixed meal times; 'good' fat (from plant oils, oily fish and nuts); and lean protein (from lean meat and fish). The Zone diet stabilises insulin levels, stops the body from storing fat, and helps you lose weight without getting hungry or run down.


Rihanna
Diet: Plenty of protein, no carbs
Instead of crash dieting and manically working out, Rihanna has a far more sensible approach to keeping in tip-top condition. ‘It’s all about trying to eat healthy and be in the gym to feel better. If you look at it that way, and not like you’re trying to lose weight, then it’s more successful,’ plus she sticks to a sensible diet eating lots of protein like egg whites, fruit and veg and making sure she drinks lots of water. The only thing she cuts out completely is carbohydrate, which according to the singer ‘is the enemy’.



Jennifer Aniston
Diet: Budokon
It’s no secret than Jennifer maintains her slim figure by sticking to The Zone diet, but her newest health obsession is Budokon. The workout (inspired by the Japanese martial arts) is a fusion of yoga, martial arts and meditation, which is super intensive (you can burn 900 calories in just one session). Cameron Shayne explains that Budokon helps ‘create balance and permanent change in the entire system’.




Natalie Portman
Diet: Vegan
Natalie has always had a slender figure – it must be in the genes. But to keep as healthy as she can Natalie follows the vegan lifestyle made popular by Rory Freedman and Kim Barnouin in Skinny Bitch. This book single handedly makes processed foods, coffee and foods derived from animals seem super unappetizing, and in just one read set Natalie on the path to a more virtuous lifestyle.





Angelina Jolie
Diet: Steamed foods and soy milk
Super-fit Angelina has always worked out to keep her slender frame looking seriously toned. However to look her very best for a film Ange sticks to a strict diet. ‘I eat steamed sea bass or steamed beef and vegetables, and I have no sugar and only drink soy milk’.
