The Daily Meal:

When watching E! and flipping through gossip magazines, it's hard not to wonder how stars manage to look so good. OK, maybe it has something to do with a personal trainer and that it is technically part of their job to stay in shape, but it could also be due to some of the ridiculous and slightly bizarre diets that find their way into Hollywood kitchens.

Stars like Kim Kardashian, Jennifer Aniston, and Sarah Michelle Geller have turned to these supposed miracle weight-loss diets to help thin themselves out. So we decided to roundup some of the trendy and popular diets that have hit Hollywood and see what they're all about. Though we haven't tried any ourselves, let us know if you have (and if they work!).

As a former chronically obese person who solved the problem, I must say this for the benefit of all the overweight people who have tried these crazy diet approaches and failed: They didn't work for me either. In fact they made me worse. They are part of the problem, one of the things that turns a weight problem into a terrible problem, a real disorder. After being overweight and obese from the time I was seven to when I was in my thirties, and after failing at diets and "behavior modification" approaches for 25 years, I discovered a solution using a different behavioral approach I call Therapeutic Psychogenics. I'm the psychotherapist who wrote 'The Anderson Method' after I discovered these techniques, solved my weight problem and went on to help others. I lost 140 pounds pretty quickly once I "got it" and I've kept it off since, over 25 years, without too much difficulty. Diet and exercise binges never helped. They left me frustrated, and then eating with gusto. Permanent change of habitual behavior is the key to permanent weight loss, but it's not simply a matter of will power or making up your mind. There is a method to it.
