Hollywood Diet Surprises

It's no surprise to read that a lot of A-list celebrities do some pretty unhealthy things to their bodies in their quest to fit into that coveted size 0, but recently I've read a couple of interesting (and fairly sane) tips that might work for you too.

Pass the Vinegar! Apparently a lot of supermodels eat greens doused in vinegar 20 minutes before dinner. Because Vinegar slows the glycemic effect of carbohydrates it makes you feel fuller, longer. If you're feeling full before you order a meal, you are less likely to order the 16-ounce steak with fries!

Pocket-size breath strips. The breath strips, or a mint-flavoured gum will keep you from eating dessert, even if you're hungry. Both the strips and the gum will numb your taste buds and alter the taste of food that you may eat afterwards. And if the food's not gonna taste good, what's the point of eating it?
