Who said Hollywood is all glitz and glamour? Behind the dollars, the Prada, the Gucci are the women who are suffering from severe cases of inferiority complex when it comes to their body and weight. For some weird reasons quite a handful of showbiz women find it necessary to get down to "size zero" and assume this to be desirable and "in vogue". Many Hollywood divas have done everything they possibly can to get down to size zero (some ended up regretting it), such drastic measures are definitely not healthy and not beautiful most of the times. While it may be in vogue when it comes to glamour world, commoners should avoid following such drastic weight loss plans and should be focusing on giving their body a healthy tone instead of making it look like a bag of skin (and bones).
1). Anna Creston
A Brazilian beauty, Anna Creston was a world super model by the time she was 19 and she wasn't anymore just after two years. In a very young age of 21, she died tragically because of self induced starvation that led to an extreme form of anorexia. She was once criticized for being "too fat" for a modeling contract in China in 2004 and by 2006, she was hospitalized for kidney failure induced by starvation. Surviving only on apple and tomatoes, she weighed only 40kg (88lbs) with a height of 5'8". Her body mass index was measured to be just 13.4, which is considered as starvation (the limit is BMI of 16), a beautiful life that ended tragically, just for the sake of losing some pounds?
2). Victoria Beckham
The gorgeous Spice Girl diva and wife of football star, David Beckham, Victoria Beckham is going on a latest diet plan known as the "Five Handsful Diet", just so as she could get a size zero figure for a Fashion Week appearance. After recently having her fourth child, Victoria is quite enthusiastic about losing the baby fat she had gained during the pregnancy.
The latest diet requires her to starve and just eat one handful of food, five times a day! Even within this five hands diet, she has adopted high protein meals, with drinking gallons of water. Surviving just on miniscule portions of salmon, prawns, sushi and tuna with scrambled eggs, she's definitely getting a little skeletal. Fans worldwide are already being critical of her extreme weight loss measures, especially after just having delivered a baby.
3). The Hilton Sisters
Another glamorous diva on the list, Paris Hilton has been known to starve herself for losing weight. Numerous reports, pictures have surfaced showing Paris Hilton gulping down Red Bull and water instead of eating proper meal. Following her footsteps is her sister Nicky Hilton, 24, a fashion designer, who is now in a wrongly thin body structure. Not only are these celebrities harming their own bodies, but also setting up a wrong message for thousands of fan girls all across the world who idealizes them. Young girls are starving themselves just to get the size that is portrayed as ideal by these divas and nothing can possibly stop them from this harmful practice.
4). Natalie Portman
Hollywood is mean; in fact almost cruel. Stars are meant to lose weight and look super thin (or vice versa) just for a movie role. Producers, director and media might require a healthy looking actress to look all skins and bones as that's what the role demands. Hollywood actors and actresses who have to go through this regime agree that it's dangerous and aren't happy about it at all, but have to opt for it because after this is what "the role demands". Case in consideration is Natalie Portman who was forced to drop more than 20 pounds of her already thin frame just to perform her role in Black Swan.
5). Petra Nemcova
A popular model who recently graced the covers of Sports Illustrated admits to having taking laxatives just to get down to size zero. Now laxatives are meant just for people who have bowel movement problems, however, celebrities have taken it on for a wrong purpose i.e. losing weight. The person doesn't eat anything throughout the day except for a fruit or two. Following that would be a laxative intake for a complete system washout (give me a break?). The side effects of these are bowel movement disorders, digestion problems, irregular diet issues and extreme fatigue.
While this article talks of divas, we can't help but include Christian Bale, the macho Hollywood star of "Batman Begins", who've lost 63 pounds and is all skins and bones just to play his role in "The Machinist". Even though, they are continuously in talk with some of the best physicians out there, but still that's a bit too harsh on their own self. Neglecting the torture, the pain, they are putting their bodies through for a movie role. Can you imagine the immense pressure being put on the heart, kidneys, liver, and stomach, just because you are looking to meet industry standards?
Conclusion:
Don't fall for the outward appearances of celebrities. Look at them closely and you'll see there's no natural glow, and more importantly, no healthy curves. Spare yourself the torture and learn how to stay healthy instead of staying thing.
