Jennifer Aniston and Courteney Cox’s Odd 10-Year Diet

Courteney Cox and Jennifer Aniston met and became friends while working together on the hit comedy “Friends,” where one played control freak Monica, while the other was the careless and incredibly good looking Rachel. Since then, the two have been inseparable, thus making for one of the longer lasting relationships in Hollywood. Their odd diet also helped them bond while on “Friends,” Cox says in a new interview cited by People magazine.

As it happens, the diet did not consist of baby food, which was said to be Aniston’s eating regime of choice a while back, after she was cast in the same movie as Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Brooklyn Decker. Still, the two stars stuck with it for no less than 10 entire years, meaning for the entire while they shot “Friends” and, what’s best, they never got bored of it. The secret, Cox says, was Aniston’s magic touch when it came to personalize the traditional Cobb salad.

“Jennifer and Lisa [Kudrow] and I ate lunch together every single day for 10 years. We always had the same thing – a Cobb salad. But it wasn’t really a Cobb salad. It was a Cobb salad that Jennifer doctored up with turkey bacon and garbanzo beans and I don’t know what. She has a way with food, which really helps,” the 45-year-old actress says in the interview cited by People.

In the same interview, Cox also talks about other things than her best-guarded (so far) diet secret, namely that much hyped “Friends” movie that would supposedly drop in theaters in 2011. It’s not going to happen, the star says. “I wish we could do that with Friends. I don’t think it's going to happen… But we’ve daydreamed about it. The thing is, the characters from SATC hopped all over Manhattan. On Friends, we were always stuck in the apartment and that coffeehouse,” Courteney explains, drawing comparisons to HBO’s SATC, which did make the transition to the big screen.

So, while news that a “Friends” movie will not happen is not one to please the fans, maybe female fans will find some comfort in the idea that eating Cobb salad for lunch for 10 whole years is possible. With a little “customization,” it can work wonders for one’s figure: just look at Aniston and Cox.
