4 OTHER WACKY DIETS DOING THE ROUNDS!

1 THE AIR DIET

Turns out Madonna's 1990 album I’m Breathless was quite misleading – all she does is breathe when it comes to meal time! Coming from breatharianism, which believes it's possible for humans to live without consuming food, the air diet involves preparing food, placing it on a plate, whacking it on your fork and… breathing it in. It allows for water and salt soup!

2 EAT BABY FOOD

Jennifer Aniston and Lady Gaga are rumoured to shed flab with baby food. But reserve judgement for a second, because it may not be as bananas as you think! Hormone and antibiotic-free, it's not the most foolish regimen – but there is a catch. “It's nutritionally inadequate,” says nutrition editor Jamie Vespa.

3 THE ICE CUBE DIET

Ever felt compelled to binge on ice cubes? Renee Zellweger can relate. The Bridget Jones star warded off unwanted weight by relying on ice cubes to feel full. “As long as I get that ‘constant feed' feeling, it's semi-tolerable,'' she said. But t don't be fooled – the ice cubes accompanied other meals.

4‘ TRICK YOUR BODY INTO THINKING IT’S PREGNANT’ PLAN

Orange Is The New Black star Laura Prepon admits she's stooped to desperate lows when curbing the kilos. “A doctor I consulted prescribed injections of HCG (a hormone secreted by pregnant woman) to trick my body into thinking it was pregnant,” the actress wrote in her book The Stash

Plan. “[It] would cause my body to burn stored fat to support the [fictitious] baby,” she said. Laura says the weight returned after stopping her treatment.
