But crikey, that really is the most ridiculously unappealing and deprivational diet I've read about in a long time! Good job she probably has nothing more taxing to do than lie around on her skinny arse all day watching the nanny!

I agree that once your out of that diet mentality you realise its all so predictable as within the next few days a host of celebrities will bringing out their fitness DVD's (and by June when your is collecting dust they'll have piled it all back on) and the magazines will be filled with shedding half your body weight in a week! I too hope Gwynnie finds that peace but also that other women to do too so that they can shun magazines that focus continually on the perfect body so they actually write something decent and impowering for a change.Clairenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4510462680189297110.post-73868935192910129622010-12-30T09:45:33.230+00:002010-12-30T09:45:33.230+00:00There was a lot of fuss about Gwynneth recently - ...There was a lot of fuss about Gwynneth recently - she looked as though she'd stuck her face full of botox - it was frozen solid and she could barely smile. I feel very sorry for her if that is the case and if this really is what she eats - the pressure on Holywood stars to be eternally young and beautiful and unnaturally slim must make their lives a living hell. I won't be adopting Gwynnie's 'detox lifestyle' either and I hope she can find peace with her ageing body and face one day soon.Gretelhttp://www.beyondchocolate.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4510462680189297110.post-67316826962348517272010-12-30T08:28:54.784+00:002010-12-30T08:28:54.784+00:00I am sitting here this morning feeling rather unha...I am sitting here this morning feeling rather unhappy with myself because I did a lot of nibbling last night. There is nothing wrong with nibbling per se - but I wasn't really hungry - and this morning I am paying the price by feeling bloated and fed up. However the BC email popped into my mail box this morning and I have been catching up with blog entries. Reading this one made me realise I no longer have the dieters mentality that would tempt me to do a detox. I may have a fruit smoothie for breakfast - but if I do it will be because my taste buds are stimulated by the thought.Sallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04043960680882232873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4510462680189297110.post-60752360370840771982010-12-28T11:01:47.022+00:002010-12-28T11:01:47.022+00:00It is incredibly sad ... and it's hogwash too....It is incredibly sad ... and it's hogwash too. The body is perfectly capable of detoxing itself. I've read books written by people with PHD's in nutrition, theie message is very different, and involves not cutting any food group, eating a wide variety of food and getting regular exercise. It's not a miracle magic bullet, it's just common sense, and it works. <br />And as for Gwyneth ... well my own personal opinion is that she doesn't look like she could keep up on a 30 mile bike ride, so I won't be following any of the (ill informed) tips she gives out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
