Quick-slim celeb diets to follow

Celebrities often turn to crazy diets to make sure they always look their best for the red carpet. Some of them are weird, and others are just bizarre.

The Master Juice Diet

This diet was made famous by the bootylicious Beyoncé who had to lose some kilos for her Dreamgirls role of Deena Jones. The drink is made up of maple syrup, cayenne pepper and purified water. She drank it a few times a day for two weeks and lost about 9kg.

The Grapefruit Diet

Jennifer Lopez practically smelt her way to a sexy body. The ‘Jenny on the block singer’ would smell grapefruit oil for 15 minutes, three times a day, which reduced her appetite. The aroma is said to activate the liver enzymes and promote weight loss.
