When Celebrity Weight Loss Plans Cross The Thin Line

Doctors warn Nicole Richie's obsession with weight loss might kill her. While some celebrities have found healthful ways to lose weight, many celebrity weigh loss plans are simply too dangerous because they require the person to starve. For months experts have been saying Nicole Richie is dangerously skinny. While she appears to be a junk food addict, insiders say she only eats fast food and burgers when there is a photo opportunity.

Nicole Richie is reported to eat Luna bars, which are nutritious protein bars. She drinks Muscle Milk, according to reports.

Nicole Richie evidently eats less than 500 calories a day, which is one fourth of the calories an average woman needs to consume to maintain her weight.

When celebrities try to lose weight, they often go on restrictive diets. While some people call their eating habits the diet of the stars, don't be fooled. Most celebrity diets are not glamorous. They are simply starvation diets.

The real skinny on Oprah

The press has had a field day with Oprah's yo-yo dieting in the past 20 years.

Oprah recently followed a celebrity weight loss plan, which helped her shed 15 pounds. She tipped the scales at 170 in 2005, but is reported to be down to 155.

Her celebrity diet consists of a breakfast of scrambled egg whites with salsa and a whole-wheat tortilla. She then has a lunch of bean soup and a dinner consisting of lean protein and vegetables. For snacks, she eats fruit.

Experts estimate Oprah is barely consuming 1,200 calories per day, which is considerably less than she needs. Not only does she need more calories to get through her hectic celebrity schedule, but she needs fuel for exercise.

Finally, before following the stars weight loss programs think about whether you can maintain the strict regimen for the long-term. While it's wise to restrict meat and unrefined carbohydrates as Oprah does, it's not smart to consume too few calories.
