Diane Keaton Had Bulimia, Ate 20,000 Calories Per Day  | beauty body image

65 year-old actress Diane Keaton recently opened up to the press about her horrible struggles with an eating disorder: bulimia, that she dealt with for 5 years. Details from Daily Mail:

On Her Eating Disorder: For breakfast each day, she’d shovel down a dozen buttered corn muffins, three fried eggs with bacon, pancakes and four glasses of chocolate milk. For lunch: three buttered steaks with charbroiled fat on the side, two-and-a-half baked potatoes with sour cream, apple pie and two chocolate sundaes with extra nuts.

Dinner almost defied belief: a bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken, several orders of chips with blue cheese and ketchup, a couple of TV dinners, chocolate-covered almonds, a large bottle of 7Up, a pound of peanut brittle, M&Ms, mango juice, one Sara Lee pound cake, and three frozen banana-cream pies.

Eating and purging around 20,000 calories a day gave Diane heartburn, indigestion, irregular periods, low blood pressure and 26 cavities in her teeth. The psychological effects were arguably worse: she was using food to escape reality.

Miley Cyrus Gets Called Fat, Says: I LOVE being shaped like a WOMAN | celebrity quotes beauty body image

Even the slim celebrities are bombed with attacks that target their weight when they dare to put on 5 pounds – Miley Cyrus is the latest celeb to join this club, as she was recently labeled with ‘fat’ comments on Twitter. What did she respond? Let’s see the full story from Daily Mail:

Miley Cyrus is proud of her body and she wants the world to know it. The 18-year-old pop star is fighting back after coming under criticism for adding some much-needed curves to her slender frame. She took to her Twitter page late last week to talk about self love and the dangers of hating your shape after some critics sneered that she had lost control of her body.

‘By calling girls like me fat, this is what you’re doing to other people. I love MYSELF & If you could say the same you wouldn’t be sitting on your computer trying to hurt others.’

The former Hannah Montana star then proceeded to post a photograph of a woman so emaciated that her ribs were clearly visible.She also posted a photograph of curvaceous blonde bombshell Marilyn Monroe (see below) with the caption:

‘Proof that you can be adored by thousands of men even when your thighs touch. ‘I don’t wanna be shaped like a girl.

Adriana Lima Calls Diet Reports ‘a Misunderstanding’, Says She Eats Cake Before the Show

Adriana Lima Calls Diet Reports a Misunderstanding, Says She Eats Cake Before the Show | celebrity quotes adriana lima

Just last week, we listed to supermodel Adriana Lima’s super strict stories on her diet and workout regimen, where she specified that she doesn’t consume any liquids 12 hours prior to the show in order to ‘dry out’. You can see the popular post here! Well, Adriana is back and ready to rectify her previous statements, insisting that she, in fact, eats cake before the shows – from Huffington Post:

Adriana Lima wasn’t too pleased to hear that reports of the extreme diet Victoria’s Secret Angels must adopt in order to prep for the annual fashion show were swirling around the media.

The Telegraph wrote in an article that Lima testified to being on a pre-show nine-day liquid diet consisting of protein shakes and egg powder, after which she was banned from drinking water for 12 hours leading up to the show. They also reported that Lima worked out twice a day for the three weeks before.

However, Adriana is insisting that the details of the “crazy diet” are just a “misunderstanding.” She spoke with E! Canada to set the record straight. She even showed E! Canada her piece of coffee cake prior to the show, saying, “I have my Starbucks coffee right there… it was a misunderstanding.”

Like anyone whose body is her source of income — or who poses in her skivvies for all to see — the model says she’s conscious of her figure. She admits, “You can’t eat everything, of course… I eat healthy and work out a lot.”

The new mom also hopes to set a good example for others, saying, “Those teenagers out there, don’t go starving yourself or only drinking liquids. Don’t do that please!”

We’re glad Adriana is trying to be a healthy role model, and we’re relieved to hear those extreme diet rumors were one big confusion.
