They eat nothing but boiled eggs
During the filming of Cold Mountain, there were rumours that one famous actress on set ate only boiled eggs.
She would rise in the morning and eat one and then have one or two at the end of the day. That was her entire diet.
And apparently she is not alone.
Celebrity trainer David Kirsch says: "I had a client who was getting ready for the Oscars and all she ate was one meal a day - of two boiled eggs! I was able to persuade her to add some almonds and a protein shake and some vitamin supplements.
"It's a self-defeating strategy, you need to eat enough, and particularly protein, to build lean and toned muscle in the first place."
They abuse laxative teas
Britney Spears has never been shy about her love for junk food and engages in all kinds of behaviour to counteract her taste for Taco Bell.
She smokes, drinks coffee and Red Bull, has diet pills in her bag and takes Adderall. She has also been seen hitting all-night drugstores, shopping for laxatives.
And she is certainly not alone.
Today, many actresses are taking laxatives in the form of "dieter's tea", which has a mild laxative effect. Some starlets are drinking up to ten cups a day.
Trainer Gelband says: "The latest trend among models is mixing laxative tea with the master cleanse diet. All they drink is master cleanse and laxative tea."
They live at the gym
Who can forget those photographs of a skeletal-looking Teri Hatcher jogging through Hollywood with weights in both hands and bones protruding-through her skin?
Actress Kate Hudson, in a quest to shed the five stone she gained while pregnant with son Ryder, admitted to working out up to three hours daily for three months.
To prepare for her role as the sexy Daisy Duke, Jessica Simpson worked out for two hours a day, six days a week.
Justin Gelband says: "You can get addicted. Unless you're a professional athlete, you don't need to do more than one-and-a-half hours a day to get a great result."
Amber Kenain, general manager at Crunch gym in Hollywood, a celeb favourite, told Glamour magazine: "There's one singer-actress who works out at my gym for about five hours a day, even on weekends. She spent her birthday here."
Peterson admits: "To be fair, a lot of the top women are doing the right things: eating healthy and exercising, but not obsessively. It's the up-and-comers who I see going to crazy extremes."
He adds: "Forget trying to look like a celebrity - look at you.
The reality is, the girl that's ten pounds overweight but loves her body is winning against the girl who is underweight but hates herself.
"There's no straight guy in the world who knows the difference between a size 14 and a size 4."
