45 Celebs Confess Their Weirdest Nutrition Habits That Are, in Fact, Bizarre

These Celeb Habits Are Seriously Strange!

From Gwyneth Paltrow’s goat milk cleanse to Joe Rogan’s meat-only menu, celebrities are well known for their bizarre nutritional fads. Today, we’ll reveal Hollywood’s finest healthy culinary habits, but we’ll also include some of the unhealthy meals that stars love to snack on. Can you guess which race car driver loves banana and mayonnaise sandwiches or which magician got in shape by eating only potatoes? Join us to find out…

Beyoncé

In 2006, Beyoncé told Oprah Winfrey she went on a restrictive juice fast to prepare for her role in Dream Girls. Known as Master Cleanse, this process is a 10-day cleanse that involves subsisting on a drink made of lemon, maple syrup, and cayenne pepper plus water six to 12 times a day — plus vegetables, for 14 days.

More recently, Beyoncé has sold her plant-based recipes, but her three-week plan provides just 1,400 calories a day while somehow containing a green smoothie containing eight teaspoons of sugar!

Joe Rogan

In 2022, controversial stand-up comedian, MMA fighter, podcast host, and keen hunter Joe Rogan revealed he went on a strict eating regime consisting only of meat and fruit… or animal products such as eggs.

The ketogenic celeb wolfed down bacon or ribeye steak with eggs for breakfast, then ate grass-fed elk, bison, or steak for dinner while intermittently fasting. Joe needs all that energy to grill his guests during his three-hour long-form podcasts. When we say grill, we don’t mean… he’s a carnivore, not a cannibal.

Reese Witherspoon

Fitness entrepreneur, author, and go-to fitness guru to the stars Tracy Anderson lists actresses Reese Witherspoon, Gwyneth Paltrow, Jennifer Lopez, Madonna, and Lady Gaga among advocates of her baby food plan.

The unusual toddlers’ menu allows up to 14 jars of baby food, followed by dinner, consisting of a 400-calorie meal of lean meat and vegetables. According to an interview with InStyle, Reese also loves green smoothies and lentil soup. Even so, Reese occasionally digs into solid food too — including fried steak, pasta, and (naturally) some southern comfort foods.

Katy Perry

Katy Perry’s daily intake is one of the most unusual. Her M Plan is straightforward but highly effective. She replaces one meal a day with mushrooms. So, instead of chomping down on her old fave — boot-shaped chicken nuggets — she might have a lovely giant, round portobello mushroom.

Mushrooms are a superfood, so they’re rich in vitamin D, stimulate a healthier gut, support a healthy immune system, and brighten your skin. That means there’s not mushroom for snacking, and it makes you a real fungi to hang out with (ha, get it?)!
