Under the knife
Fern Britton’s dramatic five-stone weight loss was reportedly due to a gastric band surgery. This prompted a rise in popularity of the procedure in private hospitals.
Gastric-band surgery is a procedure whereby you have a band placed around the top of the stomach to divide a section of stomach space off from the rest of the stomach. This prevents a portion of your stomach from being used and less area to full with food. You feel fuller quicker and hence eat less.
The gastric band procedure costs around £8,000 and the band can be tightened or loosened depending on your progress.
An alternative procedure is gastric bypass surgery. This is also known as stomach stapling. Similar to gastric bypass, with this procedure part of the stomach is sealed off. Patients are then only able to eat small meals resulting in rapid weight loss.
However with these procedures trying to maintain a healthy weight afterwards can be more difficult. Sharon Osbourne and Anne Diamond are two celebrities who have allegedly had such procedures and found it difficult to maintain a steady weight afterwards..
Unhealthy Celebrity Diets
You may want to lose weight quick and some of these unhealthy celebrity diets did help celebs lose weight fast but are the benefits worth the risks of undertaking these drastic unhealthy diet plans?
Alcohol diet: With this diet of our countdown of unhealthy celebrity diets, you drink only alcohol. Drink alcohol such as vodka and dry white wine to lose weight. Snooki’s dramatic fast weight loss is apparently down to the alcohol diet plan!
Boiled eggs: Why not live on boiled eggs for one week to lose weight? This is the crazy boiled egg diet. Celebrities like as Nicole Kidman apparently used the boiled egg diet for to shape up for a movie role in which she was required to look fragile. In this diet you only 3 or 4 boiled eggs a day. That is all.
Citrus fruit juice diet: Drinking only citrus fruit juices all day to burn body fat and lose weight fast does work but can only be a short term remedy. Surviving only on fruit juice is not nutritious enough for a healthy diet. See the review of the Fruitarian diet for more on consuming all fruits as a diet plan
Drugs: One of the worst of the unhealthy celebrity diets to lose weight. Many celebrities have been seen taking the substances Clenbuterol or Adderall. Celebrities such as Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton, Britney Spears, Kate Moss to name a few have been reportedly caught carrying drugs in their handbags in order to lose weight. Such drugs help you feel more energetic and less hungry. However drugs are harmful for the body and in terms on long term health and weight loss will not help you.
IV diet: This is the most common celebrities diet to lose weight and get an ultra slim figure in just a week! For this “diet”, dieters get themselves admitted to hospital and survive by getting injected with IV drips! These IV drips will control the appetite and provides nutrients to the body. Hardly a practical diet and potentially highly dangerous.
Water diet: Also known as the Master Cleanse Diet. Beyonce Knowles used this diet plan to lose the extra calories and excess weight. With the water diet you only survive by consuming water and other fluids such as maple syrup and laxative tea.
These unhealthy celebrity diets have been used by some celebrities in a bod to lose weight fast. Avoid these diets though as they are unhealthy ways to lose weight if followed for long periods of time. At best they are only short cuts to lose weight and do you no favours in the long run.
