Joe Rogan’s all-meat month

Joe Rogan spent a whole month eating only meat and fruit, cutting out all other food groups. He claimed it helped with focus and energy, but nutritionists warn such restrictive diets can lack essential nutrients.

Jacob Elordi’s bacon bonanza

Jacob Elordi ate a pound of bacon daily while filming Priscilla, aiming to bulk up for his role. Despite the high fat and sodium, he credited this bacon binge for adding noticeable size.

Victoria Beckham’s 25-year meal streak

Victoria Beckham has stuck to the same meal of grilled fish and steamed veggies for 25 years, according to her husband. He said she’ll “very rarely deviate” from her disciplined routine.

Chrissy Teigen’s dorito licking

Chrissy Teigen enjoys Doritos but only licks off the seasoning, then tosses the chip back in the bag. This bizarre habit lets her savor flavor without extra calories or crunch.

It’s a strange but calorie-conscious trick that fits her playful personality. Teigen’s diet quirks prove that not all celebrity habits are about strict food rules.

Zoë Kravitz’s clay cleanse

Megan Fox’s apple cider vinegar ritual

Megan Fox drinks apple cider vinegar before every meal to “cleanse” her system and aid digestion. This sharp-tasting habit is popular among celebrities but can irritate the throat or stomach lining.

While some swear by its detox benefits, medical experts say evidence is limited. Fox’s vinegar ritual is a classic example of a trendy but questionable celebrity diet habit.

Did you know that MGK calls having a baby with Megan Fox “bittersweet”? His surprising reason might break your heart.

actress amanda seyfried

Amanda Seyfried’s raw food diet

Amanda Seyfried tried the Raw Food Diet, eating only uncooked foods below 115°F to preserve nutrients, but ultimately found it too restrictive. This extreme diet excludes anything cooked or processed, focusing on fruits, veggies, and nuts.

While raw foodism can boost some nutrients, it’s tough to get enough calories and protein. Seyfried’s diet is a classic example of a celebrity going ultra-natural but restrictive.

Amanda Seyfried turned down Gamora because she thought it would flop. Guess who’s green with regret now?
