Hollywood is full of a wide range of celebrities choosing their meals from low carb menus. Millions of dedicated followers of these celebs switch to similar eating plans after seeing their favourite actress or singer lose weight. In fact, many restaurants are now accommodating this new dieting trend by adding low carb menus to their traditional menus-even take-out Chinese restaurants!
Catherine Zeta-Jones, of Wales, United Kingdom, is well-known both for her many sophisticated on-screen portrayals as well as being married to Michael Douglas. After giving birth to their son, Catherine turned to low carb menus to slim down quickly – and it seemed to do the trick. Most fans of the movie Chicago can hardly tell Catherine had ever given birth, with the skin-tight costumes and sky-high kicking dance routines. Along with Chicago, Catherine Zeta-Jones has graced the screen in films like America’s Sweethearts, Traffic, High Fidelity, Entrapment, and Mask of Zorro.
Yet another devotee of low carb menus is Friends superstar Jennifer Aniston, who is currently married to Hollywood hunk Brad Pitt. Jennifer has followed The Zone diet since her early years on Friends, and uses Pilates and yoga to help keep her tiny figure in shape. Aniston has starred in such major motion pictures as Object of My Affection, Picture Perfect, Rock Star, and the recent Bruce Almighty. With her enviable figure, Anniston has helped to boost the ordinary dieter’s faith in low-carb eating.
Gwyneth Paltrow has been known to try a variety of dieting fads, but the one she swears by is her low carbohydrate diet.

Even Geri Halliwell, former Spice Girl and international sensation, credits low carb menus for staying fit and trim as “Ginger Spice.” Over recent years, she has trimmed her once-curvy figure right down to slim and slender proportions. Halliwell is currently filming the movie Fat Slags.
The men of Hollywood are also reaching for low carb menus to help stay in shape for all those shirtless scenes.
