The facial analysis diet

Kate Winslet,celebrity bodies,diets kate winslet diet Kate Winslet lost 4½ stone following the birth of her daughter Mia in 2000. She attributed the weight loss to a facial analysis diet, an obscure Oriental practice in which experts study the lines, shadows and pores on a person\'s face to decide which foodstuffs suit them best. These \'face readers\' can tell which foods the dieter should or shouldn\'t eat

The macrobiotic diet

Gwyneth Paltrow,celebrity bodies,diets gwyneth paltrow diet Until the birth of her daughter Apple, Gwyneth Paltrow famously followed a strict macrobiotic diet plan, which banned all meat, eggs, dairy and caffeine. This regime wasn\'t specifically designed for losing weight, but its combination of low-calorie food and only eating when hungry will help keep you slim

The Hay Diet

Liz Hurley,celebrity bodies,diets liz hurley diet Before she fell pregnant with her first child, Liz Hurley was a fan of the Hay Diet, which is also known as the food-combining diet. The Hay Diet works on the principle that the body digests carbohydrates and proteins in different ways, so they should never be eaten together in the same meal. The idea is that eating in this way maximises the body\'s digestive powers while minimising its fat-storing habits

The blood-group diet

celebrity bodies,diets Martine McCutcheon Martine McCutcheon said that the key to her new diet success has been following a regime whereby she selects foods according to her blood type. For blood type O: choose high-protein foods, eliminate grains and take vigorous aerobic exercise. For blood type A: eat vegetarian foods, do mild forms of exercise and meditate. For blood type B: you need a very varied diet and moderate regular exercise, such as swimming or walking. For blood type AB: follow eating guidelines for both A and B and fit in some form of relaxation exercise

The Montignac Diet

celebrity bodies,diets,kylie Kylie Minogue Olivier Martinez Kylie has been a devotee of the revolutionary Montignac Diet for years. The method\'s guiding principle is - it\'s not how much, but what you eat. Frenchman Michel Montignac started the craze with the motto \'eat yourself slim\'. Devotees are told to forget tedious calorie-counting, as the amount of food doesn\'t matter. Food is classified by its glucose content - this measures the way the body digests it and its effect on insulin levels - which is linked to obesity

WeightWatchers

celebrity bodies,diets,catherine zeta jones catherine zeta jones diet WeightWatchers - championed by Catherine Zeta Jones - is designed to try and change people\'s attitude towards food. By going to regular group meetings, dieters learn about changing their behaviour and gain group support, as well as picking up tips on what to eat and what to steer clear of. WeightWatchers works on a points system where all foods are worth a certain number of points and you are allowed a set number of those points each day

The Atkins Diet

Renee Zellweger,Britney Spears,Jennifer Aniston,celebrity bodies,diets Renee Zellweger Renée Zellweger, Britney Spears, Davina McCall and Jennifer Aniston are all fans of the Atkins diet. Dr Atkins believed that too much carbohydrate in the diet causes the body to produce too much insulin, and this in turn leads to hunger and weight gain. The diet says that, by eating foods that are high in fat and protein and reducing high-carbohydrate foods, we can alter our metabolism and shed weight

The raw food diet

celebrity bodies,Uma Thurman,diets,natalie portman,demi moore uma thermon diet The latest celebrity diet to arrive has turned back time, advocating raw meat as the secret to health and weight loss. The \'raw food revolution\' believes ingredients such as beef, venison and fish should not be baked or boiled. Celebrity advocates of the new diet are said to include Hollywood actresses Uma Thurman, Demi Moore and Natalie Portman

The Perricone (face-lift) Diet

Jennifer Lopez,Heidi Klum,celebrity bodies,diets kim catrall J-Lo, Heidi Klum, Jemma Kidd and Kim Cattrall all swear by the three-day diet put together by top Yale professor and skin doctor Nicholas Perricone. He believes that certain foods cause inflammation as well as water retention, so pigging out on pizza and fast food stuffed full of additives not only leads to long-term weight gain, but can also give you a puffy face and sallow skin, making you look older

The GI diet

celebrity bodies,diets naomi campbell diet The glycemic-index diet, or GI diet, has several high-profile fans, including model Naomi Campbell and former president Bill Clinton. Unlike the Atkins diet, which bans virtually all carbohydrates, the glycemic-index diet says there are some \'good\' carbs out there, including good fruits and vegetables

The Paleotech Plan

Hilary Swank,celebrity bodies,diets hilary swank 240x370 The Paleotech Plan consists of eating three meals and three snacks of lean, high-quality proteins ,such as egg whites and chicken, tons of veggies, low glycemic-index carbohydrates, such as brown rice and yams, and omega-3 fatty acids found in salmon, almonds and walnuts. The diet restricts processed foods, sugar, caffeine and may also eliminate wheat to help reduce bloating and lethargy. Celebrities who swear by this plan include Kim Cattrall and Hilary Swank

The Zone Diet

Madonna,Sandra Bullock,Jennifer Aniston,celebrity bodies,diets sandra bullock diet Jennifer Aniston, Sandra Bullock and Madonna have all lost weight on The Zone diet. The high-protein, low-carbohydrate diet is supposed to make you feel less hungry and, as a result, help you lose weight. The Zone believes that food is a \'drug\' that dramatically affects the body\'s production of the hormone insulin. If your insulin levels swing, this affects mood, mental acuity and weight gain or loss

The South Beach Diet

Nicole Kidman,celebrity bodies,diets Nicole Kidman Another Hollywood favourite is The South Beach Diet. Nicole Kidman is just one celebrity who swears its \'good carbs, bad carbs\' principle helps her stay in shape. The diet works by teaching you to rely on eating the right carbohydrates and reduce the intake of \'bad\' carbohydrates. The result is that the weight drops off and you begin metabolising carbohydrates more effectively

The soup diet

Sarah Michelle Gellar,celebrity bodies,diets Sarah Michelle Gellar black dress Sarah Michelle Gellar\'s diet regime contains elements of the cabbage soup diet, invented to help the body detox and kick-start a long-term diet. She stays away from sugar, dairy products and fried foods, and \'practically lives on soup and vitamins\'
