Many celebrities stay away from strict diets and follow a relaxed but healthy diet. They say that basically it is important to be healthy and happy. Taking health food in the form of brown rice, whole wheat bread, oats, plenty of vegetables and fruits- these are their diet rules.

Fruit should be eaten from the time you get up until noon as it helps to cleanse the system. Fruit should never be eaten with anything else. For lunch and dinner one can either have a carbohydrate based meal which would be grains, beans and veggies or a protein meal which would be protein and veggies. Never combine carbohydrate and protein as they fight in the stomach and then become toxic. People gain weight not because of overeating and too little exercise but because they wrongly combine protein rich foods with starchy foods.
