Match the Celeb to the Fad Diet
In the celebrity world sometimes desperate times call for desperate measures - red carpet, weddings, black tie events. While I am not a fan of fad diets I am am a fan of these ladies. According to eDiets each of these celebs has followed a trendy diet.
Fad Diet Predictions
A writer with the Associated Press thinks our fair country is due for a new fad diet since carbs were demonized oh so long ago. Will it be a revival of the grapefruit diet returning from the 80s along with leg warmers and pegged jeans? I'm thinking something involving green tea and miso soup sounds more 2007.

Have You Ever Been On a Liquid Diet?
There always seems to be speculation about how a certain celebrity has shed pounds, and the most recent target of the weight-loss rumorville is Lindsay Lohan.

Can Grapefruit Help Me Lose Weight?
The 80's were chock full of fun fads like Duran Duran, leg warmers, and the very popular "Grapefruit Diet."
