Keira Knightley doesn't eat junk food. Maybe that's why she's so slim and trim. Maybe it isn't that she's anorexic at all, as media rumors might suggest.

"I don't eat junk," says the 22-year-old actress. "I cook. I go to farmers markets in London and cook really good sort of organic foods."

Knightley credits her figure to good genes and a good healthy diet. She's no gym rat, though. The roles she plays in period pieces like Pirates of the Caribbean and Pride & Prejudice tend to keep her in shape.

"The corsets are a workout. Heavy dresses and all that," she says.

Do you buy Knightley's explanation for her weight? I tend to trust what she says, but only because I recently stopped eating junk food and sweets and witnessed 15 pounds melt right off my body. Thinness isn't always caused by an eating disorder. Sometimes it's caused by ditching the junk.

I use to have a little bit of a weight problem when I was younger and ate meat,chips,cheese,cookies,cake,all of it.Now,I'm a vegetarian, I cut out all junk food,save for a little bit of GOOD dark chocolate every once in a while. I haven't been exercising as much as I use to,only because I'm living in a new country and can't find a yoga studio,yet,that teaches in English. I might not be "in shape" but I haven't gained ony weight at all! I believe it is all because of my diet.
People will always be accusing others of being anorexic if they are thin and don't seem to work out. Maybe people are smaller boned and eat healthy.I think that people don't want to get off of their big butts and put down the Pringles. They don't want to admit that they have a problem and maybe a lyfstyle change will help them. I've always known girls(and guys) who never seem to gain an once and seem to be able to eat whatever they want.
I wish that everyone would leave others,including celebrities,alone and focus on themselves. Change in good, change is wonderful.If you don't look at yourself and try to see what you can fix,or work on, you're doomed to live a sad complacent life.

I was an anorexic...two of my friends were anorexics...my boyfriend was a bulemic (all recovered and doing well, thank you) ..I DON'T believe this chick. She has a problem. A BAD one. She gets skinnier every movie. She's called herself fat before.
