Weight Tips. Hollywood Star Diets (part
1).

Americans with a normal physique simply don’t exist: they are
either awfully overweight – those who profess unconditional
liberty: “I eat all I want!”– or entirely skeletal – those who
live by the maxim: “What I would like to eat is bad for my
health”.

The first feed on hamburgers, ice cream and potato fries, and the
other on raw cabbage, diet cocktails and germinative grain (10
grains per day). The rest of Americans – an extremely slim
minority! – those who manage to maintain a normal human shape
(rounded but with no excessive fat) – will be immediately
qualified for Hollywood.
And having reached Hollywood they begin to torment themselves with
most excruciating diets – the Americans are like that. The
Italians take it easier. Look at Gina Lollobrigida, who at her 75
succeeded to retain quite a girlish figure, and she eats whatever
she pleases. True, after several days of gastronomic excesses she
goes to her self-invented diet and looses two kilograms in three
days. Her lunch consists of several slices of cheese, two glasses
of orange juice and a piece of grilled lean meat. For supper she
would have one glass of water with lemon.
Jennifer Lopez has two breakfasts: at the first one she takes half
of a small melon with cottage or milk oat porridge, and at the
second yogurt, milk cocktail or muesli. For lunch she can afford
turkey, shrimp salad, rump steak, oysters or Latin American cheese
pancakes with salad. Her supper is even more attractive: seafoods
with rice and salad, or roast beef with mushrooms and stewed
broccoli, or lobster and oysters. She takes also an afternoon's
luncheon: milk cocktail, yogurt or an apple.
Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman recommend to all those who want
to lose weight “natural cocktails”. Merge in a mixer bananas,
ginseng, shoots of sugar cane, sesame and cocoa oil. That will be
your basic and, sad as it may sound, the only food. When you get
sick and tired of this exotic mass you can rub its remains into
your hair – it will make it soft and shiny.
Kate Winslet never was too slender, and, when interviewed,
self-critically compared her bottom to a barn. For one period
(just before shooting of a film on Marquis de Sade) she put
herself to a real torture with Brussels sprout. She heroically ate
only this vegetable, which was anything but pleasant to her, and
took it to all banquets and parties where ordered it to be cooked
without salt for five minutes. It must be most annoying that even
that did not spare her Oscar winning figure from fatting when she
bore her first baby. She attained her present slender silhouette
owing to a now popular method of Elisabeth Gibod from the London
Clinic of Hail. This naturopath’s sliming-down programs for his
patients are based on careful study of their faces. Wrinkles,
spots, pimples and the color of skin tell her all she needs to
know about the disorders of the patient’s body.
Winslet had first to undergo a severe two-week detoxication
course, when she was allowed only raw vegetables, 1½ liter of
water and two cups of herbal tea per day. Then the regime was
greatly relaxed, and Kate even refused to call it a diet, because
she was allowed to eat potatoes and butter, with only sweet,
starchy and fat diary products proscribed. For three months of
sticking to this diet she lost 28 kg.
