Revealed: how the stars stay in shape…
Admit it – who isn’t just a teensy bit obsessed by celebs? We want to know about what they’re doing, wearing and most of all, how they manage to look so good. You’ve probably read about some of the bizarre extremes that celebs go to in their quest for a perfect bod, but what’s the real deal with maintaining an ‘A List’ figure?
Here’s a fact: Faddy diets don’t work! Limiting yourself to eating watermelon pips or cutting out carbs is not only ineffective; it could also damage your health. But not all celebs follow such dangerous trends. We’ve rounded up some diet secrets from our favourite stars, so eat your way to a healthy celeb bod…
Ashlee Simpson
 Who doesn’t want to be Ashlee right now. Just married to Pete Wentz, she is also looking AMAZING! And her top tip? “I try to eat a balanced diet overall. If I have pizza one day, I’ll have home cooked meals the next.”
Celeb tip!
A balanced diet isn't about balancing 'good' days with 'bad' days, but rather recognising that the occasional pizza is ok, as long as the rest of what you eat is healthy. Completely cutting out the things you love will just make you miserable! For tips on how to choose healthy takeaway food click here.
Cameron Diaz

Avril Lavigne
 Pop-punk princess Avril is a committed vegetarian. She's on record saying: “I became a vegetarian on my trip to Europe, and I’m obsessed with pasta.”
Celeb tip!
We all need lots of iron, but girls need more iron than boys because they have periods. Red meat is the best source of iron but if you're veggie you can get it from fortified brekkie cereals, wholegrain bread, green veg such as cabbage, broccoli and dark salad leaves, dried apricots cashews or almonds, lentils, peas and beans. Even trusty old baked beans are a good source.
Pink
 California lady with attitude Pink keeps fit by jogging on the beach – brilliant in the summer! To maintain her vitality she needs to eat a balanced diet.
Celeb tip!
Fruit and vegetables give us lots of vitamins and are an essential part of our diet. Try a yummy salad or smoothie as the hot weather starts.
Hayden Panetierre
 Heroes actress Hayden always looks super hot, whether she’s on the red carpet or saving the whales. To stay in shape, she’s learned to limit unhealthy snacks. “A cookie is the fastest thing to grab and that is not good,” she's said.
