Celeb diet secrets that work!

Here’s how they get their bodies red-carpet ready…

Victoria Beckham

The secret to Posh’s 23in waist?

A tiny green bean that banishes hunger. Edamame beans (pronounced ed-a-mar-may) are the latest superfood the stars are turning to in a bid to stay trim.

They’re packed with protein and low in calories and fellow yummy mummy Gwyneth Paltrow is also a fan.

They’re even said to reduce your risk of heart disease and cancer.

Vanessa Williams

The mum of four dropped 20lb for her Ugly Betty role after turning to Hollywood trainer Harley Pasternak, author of The 5 Factor Diet.

Vanessa follows Harley’s advice to eat five smallish meals a day.

Jennifer Aniston

The ex-Friends star has the hottest arms in Hollywood – and it’s all down to an 18lb weight that’s taking planet celeb by storm.

Geri Halliwell and Jennifer Lopez are also fans of the kettlebell, below, which burns 1,500 calories an hour.

By holding it as you exercise, you’ll tone up arms, abs and bum, without adding bulk, and burn fat fast.

Cameron Diaz

Since her relationship with Justin Timberlake ended, Cam’s been busy getting in shape and is now sporting a 26in waist!

She’s been following the Reverse Diet, on which you eat a large meal for breakfast, have a regular lunch and a small evening meal.

Her favourite brekkie is eggs and garlic rice with broccoli and chicken or beef.

‘It’s a surfer’s meal,’ she says. ‘I eat it first thing, go out and don’t feel hungry for hours.’

Lindsay Lohan

Post-rehab, Lindsay has been working out and swigging from a bottle of Kombucha tea.

Made from a Japanese mushroom, it has cellulite-busting and metabolism-boosting qualities.

It also works as a detoxer, helping the liver to process toxins. Seems to work for Lindsay!
