Jennifer Lawrence also has something of an odd approach — she drinks dandelion tea to de-bloat. "It’s a brilliant diuretic that helps to prevent water retention and flush out toxins," her trainer Dalton Wong tells Life & Style.

Why is Gwyneth Paltrow the "most hated celebrity"? Well, it's partially because she has bragged about cutting meat, most carbs, coffee, alcohol, dairy, eggs, sugar, corn, shellfish, fish, wheat, meat and soy from her diet. That leaves ... nothing?? But she's "the most beautiful woman in the world," so we guess it pays off.

At least Hayden Panettiere avoids gimmicks and actually eats like a normal person. "I make egg-white scrambles with veggies for breakfast" she tells Life & Style.

Kourtney Kardashian lost 45 pounds after giving birth to her daughter Penelope last July, thanks to morning protein shakes, her trainer tells Life & Style.
