Fad Diets Did Celebrities Fall For Them?

Fat Diets have been around for a long time. The first recorded fad diet was the Vinegar and water Diet made popular by Lord Byron in 1820. The singer Fergie says she uses it to get her flat stomach.

The low carbohydrate diet first appeared in The Physiology of Taste by Jean Brillat-Savarin and is a fad popular with celebrities. A few of the popular low carbohydrate books that are getting into celebrities hands include The Carbohydrate Addict's Diet, The Zone, and Suzanne Somers' Get Skinny on Fabulous Foods.

Along came the calorie counting diets in 1917 introduced by Lulu Hunt Peters in the book Diet and Health, With Key to the Calories. The cigarette companies loved the Cigarette fad diet with the slogan, "Reach for a Lucky instead of a sweet". Smoke your way to a slim body, and many celebrities were seen smoking on the movie screen.

Along came the Bananas and Skim Milk Diet backed by the United Fruit Company in 1934 and the Cabbage Soup Diet in the 1950s. Celebrities then turned to liquid protein diets but found they were low in vitamins and minerals. The Beverly Hills Diet came along in 1981. Celebrities like Engelbert Humperdink, Jack Nicholson, Maria Shriver, and Jodie Foster supposedly tried the diet.

The Scarsdale Diet, which is another of the low-carbohydrate, low-calorie diet fad, plans to become popular in 1987. The diet is a protein-oriented diet that reduces calories and thus achieves weight loss.

Jennifer Aniston Diet

, CSI and Ghost Whisperer eats a balanced diet without any specific diet. Singer and songwriter, Alanis Morissette used to be a vegetarian but now just follows a balanced diet with just a little meat. Several celebrities follow portion control such as Alessandra Ambrosio, actress Allison Sweeney, Angelina Jolie and tennis star Anna Kournikova. Famous Celebrity Diets

In 1999 some celebrities started to follow juice, fasting and detoxification fads and then in 2000 fads turned to raw foods or high protein and low carb diets. Demi Moore supposedly dried the raw foods diet.

More recent fad diets have been the coconut diet, the cheater's diet and the maple syrup diet. Jennifer Aniston has tried the coconut diet, or so it is rumored. Beyonce' Knowles claimed that she lost 20 pounds on the maple syrup diet of maple syrup, lemon juice, water and cayenne pepper. The maple syrup is supposed to be part of a "detox" or fast. Nutritionist say that fad diets such as the maple syrup diet are foolhardy, can leave an individual in a weakened state, with less muscle and feeling very hungry.

The saying is that fads come and fads go; the same can be said for fad diets. The celebrities who try them, especially if they claim success from using the fad diet usually make fad diets popular. Fads are usually only fleeting in popularity and easily replaced by the next fad.

Most celebrities today are more nutritionally minded to fall for fad diets. Unfortunately the pressure of Hollywood can entice some celebrities into trying them.
