Liquid diets have become a huge dieting trend, especially in the celebrity world. Although they are often referred to as “cleanses” or detoxes” these only liquid diets have been called out by doctors who say they could easily lead to sudden death, depending on how far they are taken. Peaches Geldof is the most recent star who has said that she “juices” for up to a month at a time, while revealing a new skinny look.
Beyonce
Beyonce went on a maple syrup based diet in order to quickly lose weight for a role, but says she wouldn’t recommend it otherwise: “It was a liquid diet where you lose weight really fast,I would not recommend it if someone wasn’t doing a movie, because there are other ways to lose weight. But I needed to lose it really quick, and I put the weight back on as soon as I finished, so I am no smaller or bigger than I’ve always been. It was strictly for the movie.”
Salma Hayek 
Salma Hayek says she has been doing juice “cleanses” for 15 years, and she always loses some weight after she’s done: “I’ve been doing juice cleanses for 15 years, if I’ve been indulging in rich foods, a cleanse is a wonderful way to hit the reset button. I always lose weight.”
Peaches Geldof
Peaches Geldof recently caused a stir when she admitted to sustaining on juice for up to a month, while gorging on chips once she has dropped the weight, something which dietitians have said is extremely dangerous: “I do juicing. You juice vegetables and then you drink it three times a day. It’s gross. I do it usually for about a month. I have no willpower but with the juicing I’m like, ‘I have to do it because I have to lose this extra ten pounds.’ I will lose it then I’m back going mental for the chips. I’ll juice and then I eat chips.”
Gwyneth Paltrow
Gwyneth has also said she regularly detoxes by sticking to an almost only liquid diet, which makes her feel fresh and revitalized, as well as helps her drop a few pounds: “I feel pure and happy and much lighter, I dropped the extra pounds that I had gained during a majorly fun and delicious ‘relax and enjoy life phase’ about a month ago.”
Adriana Lima
Adriana Lima admitted to dieting for 9 days before the big annual Victoria’s Secret show, which caused much controversy, but she says she is like an athlete: “Everybody is talking about my crazy diet. I know it’s very intense but…I just have an athlete’s mind and I appreciate doing this thing, it’s not that I do crazy diets throughout the year. I just do it for this particular thing. After this show, I become normal again!”
