Are you up on the diet secrets of celebrities? Do you want to know how Hollywood's hottest stars get fit and fabulous? While most will insist that being thin comes naturally, a lot of the succumb to fad diets, just like us. Here's more info on who fell for what diet:

Blood type diet: Courteney Cox-Arquette fell for this diet, which matches blood type with what you should be eating. O's, like me, should eat meat, which actually I hardly ever do
Cave man diet: A book called Neanderthin, which insists that we should eat like early humans did by consuming one meal a day, counts Liz Hurley among it's supporters.
Raw Food Diet: Demi Moore subscribes to this diet, which believes that cooking stuff destroys important nutrients
Facial Analysis Diet: Kate Winslet is one of this diet's followers, which is based on the belief that your health and diet can be determined by reading the texture of your skin.

Have you tried any of these?

An interesting experiment happened over in England recently at the Paignton Zoo -- a group of volunteers set up camp outside the ape enclosure and promised to eat like monkeys for 12 days. The Evo Diet, created by a nutritionist, consisted of raw fruits and vegetables (plus some cooked fish that was added the second week), provided 2,300 calories, and met adult human daily nutritional requirements. And of course they had water to drink.

The experiment was designed to show that blood pressure and cholesterol could be lowered by eliminating the processed and fatty foods of today's diets -- and it worked! Overall cholesterol levels dropped 23%, the groups blood pressure average fell by several points, and on average they each lost 9.7 pounds. And on top of it all, the people participating reported feeling energetic and happy the whole time.

Not too shabby -- would you do it?
