Fancy munching on a plate of locusts? Or even a maggot salad?
No? Ok, how about some wasps and rice?
Doesn’t exactly tickle the taste buds, does it? But such a diet could well be the solution to the growing world food crisis.
As the host of a daytime TV show and something called Soapstar Superstar, Fern Britton’s integrity is as beyond reproach as most high-level politicians and the clergy.
Sadly, though, that theory has been shot to pieces by the recent revelation that Fern Britton’s drastic sudden weight-loss wasn’t because she started eating healthily or riding her bike around like she told everyone, but because she’s had a dirty great gastric band fitted down her gut-hole.
A study by Newcastle University has found that organically-reared cows produce healthier milk than the standard-bred variety.
Cattle fed on fresh grass had 60% more good fatty acids than milk from non-organic cows, with the most notable results being found in the summer months.
These good fatty acids are known as CLA9, and consist of conjugated linoleic acids and omega 3.
Tom Cruise has welcomed the recommencement of Victoria Beckham and Katie Holmes’ friendship, but only if the ‘d’ word is banned.
Yep, that’s right. Posh Spice and the better half of TomKat are forbidden to discuss diets, in case Katie ends up becoming as thin as Victoria.
TomKat are hoping to start babymaking in the near future, just like the Beckhams, and Tom is worried that Katie will become too obsessed with her diet and fitness regimes.
The average woman spends a decade of her life on a diet.
According to a poll conducted by natural weightloss supplement manufacturers LIPObind, ladies will go on 104 diets between the ages of 18 and 70 - that’s two a year!
As the average length of a diet is around five weeks, that works out to be around 10 years. Ten years?! Now that’s a long time to deny yourself what you really want to eat.
It seems that it was Jamie Oliver, rather than the PE teachers, who had the right idea.
Apparently, exercise is not really beneficial for obese children - rather, a healthy diet would be the better plan.
So, should we lock our kids inside at breaktimes? Feed them fruit instead of encouraging them to run around with a football?
It’s all well and good to get the inside info on Charlotte Church’s home gym or what type of fruit we should eat to get a flatter stomach, but isn’t it more useful and refreshing to hear how real women diet?
Many of us juggle high-pressure jobs and a busy home life, with barely a second to even think about going to the gym.
We spoke to Ruth Pugh, 22, a support worker from Middlesbrough, about all things diet…
Now, you might have noticed that here at DietPixie, we like our superfoods.
Another day, another superfood, you might think. Maybe you’re right. However, don’t write celery off just yet.
Studies have shown that, as well as having only a few calories to help you get stick-thin, the stick-thin veg (ahem) contains the compounds lutolin and diosmin to boost your health.
Ever wondered how Carrie Bradshaw and the gang stay so slim?
The ladies from Sex And The City, whose new movie is the talk of the town after the London premiere last week, have revealed their diet and fitness secrets.
And you might be surprised to learn that they don’t necessarily rely on lettuce leaves and hours in the gym, like many other celebs.

We asked Leila Day, 23, a student from Huddersfield, to tell us how she stays in shape.

Breaking news: Amy Winehouse is not, at the time of going to press, on the brink of death. As recently as yesterday, she was frolicking on a beach in the sun like an actual human.
The troubled singer-songwriter (where “troubled” is an euphemism for ‘we expect her to be found dead in a ditch any second’) spent Sunday on a beach in St. Lucia. We thought she was in rehab in London, but OK.
So far, her latest stint in treatment doesn’t seem to have done Wino any harm; splashing around in a pair of bikini bottoms, she’s distinctly less skeletal and has clearly undergone the process that the Daily Mail refers to as “packing on the pounds” and we at DietPixie call “starting to consume something other than crack”.
Amy has also reportedly started working out for two hours a day - and it seems ‘working out’ is not just code for ‘rolling around on the floor, clawing at the walls and screaming for drugs/booze/Blake’. She has apparently hired a personal trainer and “bounds in to work out on the bikes, weights and Power Plate”.
On the one hand, I’m pleased to see Amy looking a bit more human and actually smiling for a change. On the other hand, things have got pretty bad if Amy freaking Winehouse spends more time in the gym than I do. Who am I supposed to use now as my ‘it could be worse’ person? “It could be worse, you could be Amy Winehouse.” It’s not going to work if she’s running around on Caribbean beaches, now is it?
Still, there’s always Britney.
