Atkins

Jennifer Aniston, Renée Zellweger and Robbie Williams are reported to be followers of this popular diet. Founder Dr.Atkins believed that it was too much insulin that caused the body to store fat. So reducing carbohydrate intake helps to regulate insulin, meaning less fat storage and a lowering of food cravings. Without carbohydrates the body will start to burn fat stores as a form of energy.

This four stage low carbohydrate diet has proved very successful, but drew criticism from health experts due to the lack of fruit and vegetables in the eating plan.

The 321 Baby Bulge Be Gone

Celebrities Jessica Alba, Halle Berry and Anne Hathaway have been reported to have worked successfully with personal trainer Ramona Braganza, in order to lose weight and get in shape.

3 cardio sessions, such as jogging, cycling or swimming
2 circuit sessions, using light hand weights
1 core session, involving crunches and sit-ups

The low-carb diet programme includes plenty of lean proteins, such as skinless chicken, complex rather than simple carbs, such as brown rice, and lots of vegetables.

The post pregnancy programme concentrates on regaining core strength with 3 phases of exercises:
Phase 1 - 25-minute workout using 3 Core, 2 Cardio and 1 Circuit exercises to strengthen core muscles and flatten your post-pregnancy tummy
Phase 2 - 45-minute workout using 3 Cardio, 2 Core and 1 Circuit exercises to lose baby weight and increase energy levels
Phase 3 - 60-minute workout using 3 Cardio, 2 Circuit and 1 Core to give flexibility, strength and stamina

Baby Food Diet

Baby Food Diet
Lady GaGa and Reese Witherspoon are reportedly fans of the new diet craze of eating tiny little pots of sieved baby food to help lose weight.

Jennifer Aniston is reported to have lost 7lbs in one week whilst following the baby food diet. This cleansing eating plan was supposedly evolved by celebrity trainer,Tracy Anderson. She apparently suggests that eating nutritious baby food portions can help the body cleanse and detox .

The theory is that this food is very easily digested and subsequently leads to fast weight-loss. Followers believe this 'clean food' helps to eliminate toxicity and break bad eating habits.

Generally, baby food contains less or no additives and preservatives and are lower in sodium than regular processed foods. The ingredients are generally high quality and are often organic. A disadvantage though is the lack of fibre in the baby food.

The baby food diet involves eating up to 14 little pots of puree followed by a normal dinner of lean meat and vegetables. This is only a temporary diet plan aimed to work in the short term and not to be followed for a long period. It is therefore not likely to address the underlying problems in your eating habits that caused you to put on weight.

Press have since reported that Aniston denies using the cleansing baby food diet to lose weight.

Bodyism Clean and Lean plan

This popular diet plan has the backing of several celebrities, such as top models Elle Macpherson and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and actor Hugh Grant. The cookery writer Nigella Lawson has also been reported as having achieved amazing weight-loss results with the Clean and Lean plan.

Devised by personal trainer and nutritional advisor, James Duigan, for his celebrity clients, the holistic plan aims to de-stress the body, flatten the stomach and keep the body well-nourished and slim. He believes that the body does not naturally hold onto fat. Instead, he is reported as viewing processed foods and drinks and excess sugar as polluting the body, and causing fat to cling to specific body parts, such as the hips, thighs, tummy and bum.

An important part of the Clean and Lean plan are powerful health supplements, which contain vitamins, minerals and fish oils that are supposed to help to burn fat and fight food cravings. Followers start the day with a Body Brilliance shake - this is described as a phyto-antioxidant blend of 'super greens', fruit and vegetable concentrates, herbal adaptogens and probiotics.

The suggested healthy meals are high in protein and fresh orgainic vegetables and fruit : lean meat like skinless chicken and turkey, fresh fish, berries, greens, sweet potatoes, avocados, nuts.

Chewing each mouthful of food at least 20- 30 times is also recommended, along with drinking plenty of still water.

No to salty processed food, sweets, refined sugary snacks, alcohol, caffeine (although 1-2 organic coffees a day are allowed)

The Cabbage Soup Diet

This is a strict low-calorie eating regime for 7 days, which entails replacing main meals with a soup made mainly of cabbage, which you can eat an unlimited amount of. The cabbage soup is supposed to suppress hunger and curb the appetite. This diet is not suitable for long-term weight loss; it is a low-fat, high-fibre short-term fix that many celebrities use to lose an average of 10lbs in a week.

Celebrities like Beyonce, Jaime Pressly and Sarah-Michelle Gellar are reported to use this diet, often before red carpet events to ensure they look fabulous for the cameras.

Day 1: the soup and also any fruit, except bananas, can be consumed. Ypu can drink unsweetened teas,cranberry juice and water all week
Day 2: cabbage soup and add most fresh vegetables (except dry beans, corn and peas). No fruit today. A baked jacket potato with a little butter is included today
Day 3: cabbage soup plus fruit and veg
Day 4: cabbage soup and bananas and skimmed milk is allowed
Day 5 : beef (20 ounces) or chicken(no skin) or fish and up to 6 fresh tomatoes are eaten with the soup, 6-8 glasses water
Day 6: beef (or other options) and vegetables and one portion of cabbage soup
Day 7: brown rice, vegetables(no potatoes) and unsweetened 100% fruit juices accompany the soup.

Cabbage Soup Recipe

cabbage soup diet half a head of cabbage, chopped
6 onions, chopped
2 green peppers, chopped
2 cans of tomatoes (chopped)
3 carrots, sliced
10 oz. mushrooms, sliced
1 bunch of celery, chopped
1 or 2 vegetable stock cubes or 1 pkt dry vegetable soup mix (optional)
Seasoning - salt, pepper, mixed herbs, curry powder, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, etc.

Heat a heavy non-stick pan and dry fry (or with just a spray of oil) onions and peppers. Add cabbage, carrots, mushrooms and celery. If you prefer a spicy soup, add the curry powder or cayenne pepper. Add tinned tomatoes and around 4 pints (2.27litres) of water or vegetable stock Cover and put heat on low. Let soup cook slowly for a at least two hours. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

The low levels of calories, protein, and other food groups do not make this a sustainable eating plan. If stock cubes and dried soup mix are used, rather than just natural vegetables, the soup can be quite high in salt which is not a healthy option. Plenty of water should be consumed with the cabbage soup diet.

However, the main ingredients of cabbage soup are green vegetables which are fibre-rich and full of anti-oxidants. This is more a quick fix fasting plan than a diet, and as it only contains around 1000 calories a day this regime comes with a health warning.

Calorie Restriction/ Longer Life diet /120 year diet

lose weight diet The founder is scientist Roy Walford, with his book, Beyond The 120 Year Diet: How To Double Your Vital Years.
This vigorous plan consists of a limited diet of steamed vegetables, fish and nuts. Followers steam or eat raw food instead of using 'extreme heat' cooking, such as frying, grilling, barbecuing or roasting.

Followers of the CR diet aim to reduce the amount of their daily calories by 20 to 25 percent and avoid eating processed foods, wheat, sugar, meat, saturated fat, dairy products and drinking tap water. High calorie foods are replaced with low calorie, but high in nutrients foods.

Daily exercise is important too. The belief is that taking in the optimum nutrients from the smallest amount of calories will enable you to live longer and slow down the rate your body ages. The calorie restriction diet is supposed to stimulate the immune system, so makes you less prone to diseases, such as cancer, heart disease, strokes and diabetes. Less calories are believed to lower body fat, blood pressure, glucose and insulin levels and cholesterol.

Scientific studies have shown that calorie restriction does seem to slow the ageing process, but if you overdo it restricting your calories can lead to malnutrition. As with all diets, the Calorie Restriction diet comes with a health warning.

The Caveman Diet / Paleo Diet/ Warrior Diet

This eating plan is based on the ancient diet of the caveman during the Paleolithic era, namely wild plants and animals.
Tom Jones is reported as having successfully lost 12kg on the Caveman Diet.

The Caveman Diet involves eating healthy natural ingredients such as: fish, meat, eggs, vegetables especially roots, fruits and nuts and drinking plenty of water.

No potatoes, sugar, grains, lentils, salt, dairy products or beans. No additives or preservatives or over-processed and refined carbohydrates - just natural food.

Tasty recipe options suggested are:
Breakfast - Scrambled eggs with mushrooms and pinenuts, or a bowl of blueberries

Lunch -Broccoli & Pine Nut Soup

Dinner - Pumpkin Chicken Curry, or grilled trout with butternut squash

Snacks include: pumpkin seeds or a boiled eggs

champagne diet Champagne Diet

This diet is one of the few that allows alcohol as part of the weight-loss plan. It is popular with celebrities who cannot avoid partying when trying to keep in shape. The diet allows 1,200 to 1,400 calories a day and was created by Cara Alwill Leyba, who started blogging about her love of champagne.The main idea of the diet is for 'women to live their most effervescent lives.'

The average glass (125ml) of champagne is around 93 calories, and because the bubbles reach your bloodstream faster you tend to drink less. This diet suggests eating high quality food, such as salmon as opposed to a burger. Learning to value your body more and only choosing the best foods you can to eat makes you less likely to overeat. Try and think 'your body is your temple' attitude!

Certain champagnes are made without the addition of any sweetening, such as Laurent Perrier Ultra Brut, and are subsequently even lower in calories (around 65 calories per 125ml glass), but they are much more expensive!

The type of diet which allows you the occasional indulgence can prevent you feeling too restricted and less likely to give up. This tends to be a more sustainable and successful eating plan, and a healthier way to lose weight.

The Clean Program

This is a 21-day detox plan that has been developed by cardiologist Dr. Alejandro Junger. The weight loss program consists of a special formulated shake, containing brown rice protein, vitamins, minerals, anti-oxidants and vegetable fibre plus supplements for breakfast and dinner, and a lunch of protein, grain and vegetables - like salmon and vegetables or a nutritous green salad.

The three key elements of the Clean Program are to Remove, Restore and Rejuvenate.

Demi Moore, Gwyneth Paltrow and Debra Messing have all been reported to have successfully lost weight on this popular detox program. As with all detox programs, you should check with your doctor before starting them.

The Cookie Diet - Dr. Siegal

Kris Jenkins, of The New York Jets, is reported to have lost 20 pounds by eating 6 special cookies a day. The cookies replace
1-2 meals a day (breakfast and lunch) along with a proper dinner.The cookies, chocolate, blueberry, banana, coconut and oatmeal and raisin, are made from a mixture of milk, eggs, soy, wheat and non-vegetable protein.

Dr. Sanford Siegal, D.O., M.D. created the cookie diet in1975. The cookies are reported to help suppress your hunger, whilst you are following a weight loss program, as they apparently contain a secret blend of protein amino acids. Nicole Polizzi , an actor in "Jersey Shore' is also believed to be a follower of this diet.

Cooler Cleanse Detox

This US juice and raw food cleansing program, is reported to be one of the reasons actor Salma Hayek has such a fabulous figure after pregnancy and a glowing skin. She is said to have used the organic juices for many years and is now involved in their production. The freshly prepared detox juices are delivered, but are only available to residents of New York. The juices include apples, almond milk and watermelon, lime, grapefruit, mint, coconut water and nut milk with dates.

For a short period of three or five-days, 3 regular meals are replaced with 6 delicious, fresh-pressed juices, and alcohol and caffeine is avoided. The program has around 1,200 calories a day. It is advised that you drink plenty of water. Fans of the detox program report feeling energised.

Dukan Diet or Protal Diet

This high protein plan, developed by Dr Pierre Dukan, a French nutritionist, has proved highly popular in France with 5 million French women joining the Dukan diet community. Celebrity devotees apparently include Jennifer Lopez (J-Lo), model Gisele Bundchen and opera singer Katherine Jenkins.

There is no calorie counting or food-weighing involved, just a well planned 4 stage eating programme. The first stage involves an Atkins-like no-carbs approach, except with the Dukan diet you must also only choose non-fat foods, but this initial fast weight-loss phase only lasts 5-10 days. The next phases gradually re-introduce other food groups back into your diet, until you reach the last phase - Stabilisation. Then, hopefully at your target weight, you only have to watch what you eat for one day a week, where you should revert to protein-only foods. This is supposed to help maintain your weight, and avoid any extra pounds creeping on.

Eat Right 4 Your Type diet/ Bloodtype diet

This diet has recently been in the news after Cheryl Cole has been reported as having used the blood type diet to maintain her slim figure. Martine McCutcheon and Demi Moore have apparently also followed this diet with success. The diet plan was evolved by American naturopaths, James D'Adamo and his son Peter D'Adamo. Reportedly they believe a chemical reaction, involving a protein found in food (lectin), occurs with your blood. This can be incompatible with specific blood groups and can cause adverse side effects.

To follow the Bloodtype diet:
Blood group O types should eat a high proteins, low-carb diet,and avoid wheat and most other grains.
Blood group A types should avoid high proteins and fat and get their energy from carbohydrates, eating a mainly vegetarian diet.
Blood group B types should eat a varied diet including meat and dairy products.
Blood type AB types can luckily enjoy a combination of the foods recommended for the A and O bloodtypes.

Hypnodiet

Hypnodiet'Think yourself slim', is the technique Susan Hepburn, an accredited hypnotherapist and psychotherapist, has apparently used to achieve weight-loss success with her many A-list celebrity clients. She teaches a form of deep relaxation (hypnosis) with the aid of her books and cds, wherein her followers 'reprogramme' their subconscious mind to rid it of bad-eating habits and beliefs, which are preventing them achieving the slim figure they crave.

The programme aims to help you to enjoy a normal healthy relationship with food and solve any weight problems, without calorie counting. Hepburn is very anti diets, and her plan is for those who wish to lose weight without dieting - isn't that all of us!

This very successful method has proved very popular with many celebrities, reportedly such as model, Sophie Dahl and Lily Allen, who apparently dropped from a size 12 to a size 8, after only a few sessions.
