Courtney Love: Dieting is like kicking drugs

Her pal Sting told her to lose weight

Courtney Love has revealed that Sting was the inspiration for her new slim figure.

The 44-year-old star says the singer suggested she try out a new look when she bumped in to him at a function.

'I was at a charity event and my friend Sting said to me, "Why don't you do a body transformation?"' she explains.

'I was about to start working on a new album and I was feeling experimental.

'It made me wonder what it would be like to be skinny. But it was hard. It's like kicking drugs.'

Kurt Cobain's ex-wife then embarked in a diet of meal-replacement milkshakes for brekkie and lunch, followed by steamed fish and veg for dinner.

She's lost over 4st since Christmas, but found it so tough-going, she reportedly put a lock on her fridge to stop herself eating.
