Elizabeth Hurley's extreme diet

Watch any diet commercial on television, and inevitably there will be at least one woman who says she wants to lose weight for her wedding day. That fact aside, I doubt that many other brides would be willing to undergo Elizabeth Hurley's rigorous bridal weight loss program.

The actress and model plans to marry Arun Nayer in March, so between now and then she has set her sight on a few rather drastic measures to help her fit into her Versace wedding gown. First off, Hurley has given up on eating after 4PM. But before 4PM, Hurley has decided that she will only eat egg whites, vegetables and steamed fish.

I'm just going to say it: Elizabeth Hurley is crazy if she thinks she needs to lose weight. But that gripe is really beside the point. Elizabeth Hurley is getting married -- shouldn't she be thinking more about the marriage than the size of her waistline on her wedding day?

I don't think she needs to lose weight.

However for someone who needs to lose a lot of weight this would be a good diet to go on.

Lots of protein and vegetables.

Isn't that Elizabeth Hurley's business? And - just because she's concerned about her weight doesn't mean she's not also concerned about her marriage. Geez. Haven't you ever heard of multi-tasking?

Hey..she wants to fit into a smaller size dress..what's wrong with that? Her diet sounds pretty healthy as well...who says that people need to be noshing all day..and why do people react so strongly when she's limiting her eating to some healthier foods and portions? Is it that she's not super-sizing her meal?

I think Elizabeth Hurley knows she's skinney and does not need to lose more weight. She's just one of those people that feels the need to grasp attention by dieting at her already small weight. She wants attention so that people can tell her, "Are you crazy? You don't need to lose weight. You are skinney. I wish I had your body." Personally I don't care for her. I once read in a highly respectable magazine that she favors young girls and teens to be anorexic and is disgusted with fat people. Let's hope she has a really fat daughter one day and see if she stills feels the same way about agreeing with anorexia.

Probably because she's already a size zero and it's NOT healthy to try to lose weight when you already are in desperate need to gain weight...and no, I'm not some fat chick being cranky about it...it's just common sense...yes, it is her business, but at the same time, if you're looking at this stuff to begin with you are probably pretty into gossip and getting into people's business, so you shouldn't say things like that...but anyway...she IS too tiny and should NOT be trying to lose weight...

let's see how much mercury poisoning she gets from eating all that fish!

Elizabeth Hurley is famous for her looks and in that realm she will stay.It is no wonder she is so concerned about her looks because that is where she places her personal value.I once read a derogitory comment that she made concerning Marilyn Monroes weight calling her fat at her famous size 14.Beauty IS in the eye of the beholder as it was once well said.Women of beauty come in all different sizes.Lets see where this marraige goes.

Regardless of whether or not she needs to lose weight (and she doesn't), this diet is unhealthy.

If she stops eating at 4 pm, and doesn't eat again until breakfast, at, let's say 8 am, that's 16 hours without eating. Going that long without food is not good for your body.

Her new diet is also deficient in healthy carbs (whole wheat cereals/breads/pasta, brown rice, etc.) and fruit. The article doesn't mention if she's drinking milk or an alternative that's fortified with calcium, like soymilk or orange juice. Hopefully she is, or she's eating a lot of turnip greens and salmon. Yeah, she can take a supplement, but the body absorbs vitamins and minerals in food better than supplements.

Also, this is a crash diet, which means that she'll be losing mostly water (not fat) and she'll gain all the weight back once the weddings over and she returns to her normal eating pattern.

Isn't she known as having one of the best bodies? It just goes to show you that some people are never satisfied. I hope she does not bring those unrealistic expectations to her marriage. You know her husband is not concerened about her appearence.

Di 1-24-2007 @ 10:15PM

Why couldnt she just take the Versace dress in the next size? It's a lot less stressful than starving an already malnourished body....

alex 1-24-2007 @ 10:47PM

what's wrong with wanting drop a size for your wedding? it's not like she's not eating. so she's a size 0 because she doesn't gorge herself and she looks fantastic. it doesn't mean you should bag on her. omg she's not eating pastas and cereals!!! pastas and cereals are complex and heavy carbs. in other words, they're monstrously fattening if you don't undergo lengthy exercise on a day to day basis and because i don't think that an A list celebrity has the time or the energy to build muscle mass: you drop the food group in favor of supplements. the body is still getting the necessary nutrients and that's more than any average person out there is getting because average people live off of McDonald's. and wtf is this about a "respectable magazine" resource GOSSIPING about Hurley's preference to anorexics? What magazine is this and was it a direct one on one interview with verbatim quotes? Nice of you to leave that out. and who are you to talk about a person you have never met and tell readers that Hurley is an attention whore? since when was having insecurities about your weight attention whorism? madonna macking out with britney spears is attention prostitution, not taking better care of your body in order to improve self confidence.

she needs to fix her nose more than lose weight

De 1-24-2007 @ 10:57PM

Wasn't it announced a few weeks ago she would be wearing a sari at her wedding? What's with the talk now about a Versace wedding dress? Not that I care what she wears - it's her wedding, but those a very differing reports.

Oh bullshit she pops a diet pill everyday!!!!!!!!!!!!

Angela 1-26-2007 @ 7:32PM

What do you expect from a stick figure with legs. The Marilyn Monroe quote was basically that if she ever got as fat as Marilyn Monroe that she would kill herself. We should all be so lucky. Do you think that in 50 years anyone will ever remember who the hell she was. What a laugh!

jane 1-24-2007 @ 11:17PM

Oh bullshit she pops a diet pill everyday and eats nothing!!!

paula 1-24-2007 @ 11:23PM
