Hollywoods Hottest Diets

Post-Holiday Hottie

The average person is bound to feel a little guilty after some holiday overindulging, and maybe even resolve to lose weight in the new year. But Gwyneth Paltrow's post-holiday binge is far from ordinary. Her seven-day elimination diet consists of liquid meals and snacks (think room temperature lemon water, coconut milk and the occasional handful of berries and almonds). In her newslettter, she doles out detox advice: "I like to do fasts and detoxes a couple of times during the year, the most hardcore one being the Master Cleanse... It was notpretty. Or easy. It did work, however." Paltrow cautions that her doctor doesn't recommend the Master Cleanse since "the liver is not supported by the nutrients it needs." She says her version diet is designed to be a "good detox" but that before following hers, or any other, you should check with your doctor. We couldn't agree more.
