Madonna’s Air Diet
This diet stems from the French concept of breatharianism, that supports the idea that air alone can keep our bodies active. It involves sitting in front of food, placing a piece onto a fork, holding it up to your mouth, but not eating it. Instead, you have to make do with water and salt soup.
Beyonce’s Lemonade Diet
In order to look so svelte in the movie “Dreamgirls“, Beyonce had to abandon all solid foods and survive on a concoction of lemon juice, maple syrup, cayenne pepper and water for 14 days.
