Hollywood stars spend much of their time in the limelight, meaning many of them devote their time to health and fitness to keep in shape for the cameras. During their efforts, some end up engaging in diets that leave us scratching our heads in confusion.
Here are seven of the most bizarre celebrity diets in modern Hollywood.
1. Kim Kardashian: extreme weight loss
Kim Kardashian, 42, is no stranger to diet controversy, but her 2022 weight loss for the Met Gala prompted concern from experts who said the “extreme” tactics could be unhealthy. She followed a strict carb-cutting diet to lose 16 pounds (7kg) in three weeks.
Kardashian told Vogue she lost 16 pounds in a matter of weeks by cutting out sugar and carbs, “just the cleanest veggies and protein”. She also said she ran on a treadmill and wore a sauna suit to further shed weight.
But rapid weight loss isn’t sustainable and may not help with fat burning, especially long term, a dietitian told Insider.
Cardio and carb-cutting may result in weight loss initially, much of which may be water weight, but can often lead to rebound weight gain known as “yo-yo dieting” that may worsen health issues over time.
For healthy weight loss, a goal of about one or two pounds per week is what experts recommend, ideally through making small, achievable changes to lifestyle and daily habits.
2. Rebel Wilson: the Mayr Method
