14 DAY TRIAL // Former model, actress, and businesswoman, Elizabeth Hurley knows, perhaps better than many other women in showbiz, that looking good is essential in her line of work. She also knows that losing weight and keeping fit doesn’t happen overnight without the least bit of effort on her part. However, she has a very good ally in vodka, reports in the British media claim.
Hurley often praised the wonders a glass of wine every now and then can do, but it seems that she has recently found that vodka works even better, as she puts it herself. So, now, instead of treating herself to a glass of red wine, the star asks for vodka prepared in a certain way, which, she says, helps her fight the extra pounds.
“No, I don’t miss having a glass of wine because I’ve switched to vodka,” Liz Hurley reportedly said during a recent interview when asked whether she missed wine. “I don’t really like vodka that much but if I’m at a party I have a small one with a lot of fizzy water and a huge squeeze of lime. Initially it’s like medicine but I’ve got used to it now,” the star added.
“I used to drink an awful lot of coffee, but I was told after the age of 40 you have to be careful with coffee and wine. Apparently, that can be one of the reasons older women get bloated around their stomach,” Hurley also mentioned when asked what had made her switch from wine to the much stronger vodka. However, as fans would remember, the star has often spoken out about the extreme lengths to which she goes to stay in shape.
A while back, Hurley shocked by revealing that she had only one meal a day and that she often went to bed at night starving. At the same time, reports in the media claimed she would have only one square of organic chocolate or a single spoon of ice cream when she wanted a treat, which, if true, would certainly qualify for one of the most strict diets celebrities have ever been on.
