14 DAY TRIAL // Kelly Brook, the 29-year-old British model, occasional actress and swimsuit designer, and television personality, is on a crash diet following the publication in the media of a series of photos taken of her on vacation in Barbados. Because she was “spilling out” of her swimsuit in them, Brook has decided to start dieting to lose some weight, the British publication the Daily Mail says, citing an unnamed source.
Brook has always been famous for her fuller figure, as opposed to other models, which has repeatedly won her the title of world’s most beautiful woman. Shunning plastic surgery and looking the closest thing to a regular-sized woman (that is, as close as any model can get to that), Kelly is now reportedly taking action against the extra pounds by dieting and putting her body through detox.
“Normally Danny helps Kelly with her exercise regime but he wanted her to relax on holiday.” an unnamed friend tells the aforementioned tab. Danny Cipriani, 21, is Kelly’s boyfriend, who was on the same trip as the star when the paparazzi photos were taken. The same source says Kelly wore the same swimsuit two years before, “and thinks she looked bigger in it this year.” Consequently, “she’s not drinking alcohol and is doing an organic detox for a week,” adds the source.
Although most fans agree that there is absolutely nothing wrong about Kelly’s body, in the sense that she looks just perfect as she is now, it is believed that, by celebrity standards, she is a couple of pounds too heavy. If that be the case, she is not the only one to believe so, since two major Hollywood stars are also resorting to a crash liquid diet to drop weight, albeit they don’t need it either – Angelina Jolie and Lindsay Lohan.
Still, nutritionists do not see crash diets and detox “treatments” kindly, because they both brag about doing things they can’t and do so in a very unhealthy manner. Moreover, dieticians warn, the efficiency of the so-called “cleansing diets,” which consist mainly of liquids that aim to purify the body, has never been scientifically proven, so this means they’re just a fad that got blown out of proportions by stars and media coverage.
