When it comes to dieting, celebrities definitely face much more pressure than the average person. From looking perfect to fit a role to facing public scrutiny just for being themselves; it’s really no secret that extreme celebrity diets have become pretty common. Let’s face it – no one wants to end up on the cover of a tabloid looking their worst! While extreme celebrity diets may be common amongst the a-list crowd, some of these tactics will still surprise you. Here’s a sneak peek at how far celebrities are willing to go:
Air Diet – Yes, you read that correctly! Dating back to the idea of breatharianism, the belief that you do not need nourishment from food, but that the energy from sunlight is enough; this diet means eating only a salt soup recipe and water.
Grapefruit Oil Diet – Known as a super-healthy food, grapefruits are low-cal and loaded with vitamin C. As it turns out, sniffing grapefruit oil also allegedly promotes weight loss by affecting liver enzymes.
Cabbage Soup Diet – Most likely, you’ve heard about this one before as its gained popularity in the last few years. By simply eating a cabbage soup recipe made of: cabbage, green peppers, tomatoes, green onions, carrots, celery, V-8 juice and chicken soup mix, this diet is meant to kickstart a weight loss plan. Dieters can also enjoy black coffee and cranberry juice, while eating as much cabbage soup as desired for 7 days.
Coconut Oil Diet – This oil has been making headlines lately both for its detoxifying and nutrition-packed properties. The coconut oil diet means ingesting approximately 4 tablespoons per/day, while also adding it to green tea, salads and using it as a cooking oil.
Baby Food Diet – This one is actually even more popular than you’d expect because it’s quite delicious! Dieters spend the day eating jars of baby food (14 servings of baby food = about 1,000 calories) followed by a healthy dinner. This low-cal option helps you lose weight, fast.
Ice Cube Diet – Just as extreme as it sounds, this diet involves munching ice cubes throughout the day to curb hunger.
Are you shocked yet? Do you think that extreme diets are acceptable under certain circumstances?
