Kate Middleton
Yes, even royals aren't immune to weight gain. Before her fairytale wedding to Prince William, Kate was an active proponent of the Dukan Diet, which was founded by a French doctor. The diet involves four phases. In the first, you limit your food intake to strictly proteins for a few days. Next, add cooked veggies or any greens with the protein. The third phase is definitely the charm—you can now add bread and cheese into the mix! Finally, continue with a regular, healthy diet 6 days a week and eat only protein once a week. If royalty abides by this diet, then sign us up!
Carrie Underwood
The smokin' country singer has legs for days, so she naturally needs a weight loss diet that keeps her stems looking so modelesque. She told Eat This, Not That! about her post-baby weight loss diet. While also a vegan, her main tip was to cut carbs out of dinner completely. This ensures that she wakes up with a flat tummy the next day. It'll be hard to say goodbye to bread during dinner time, but it seems like a viable sacrifice for an instant morning flat stomach.
Kim Kardashian West
Kim K. has been practicing the Atkins diet since college—her nutritionist revealed that she swore to this diet after gaining the freshman 15. More recently, she took to the diet to lose her post-baby wieght. The Atkins diet involves cutting back on carbs and increasing your protein intake. This way, you don't have to count calories as intensely. Under this diet, Kim caps her calories at 1,800 a day.
Mariah Carey
There's more to this singer's killer body than working out in high heels. In an interview with E! News, Mariah dished out her diet hack, and it only involves two foods: Norwegian salmon and capers. She said this with a laugh, so it's unclear whether she's 100% serious. But she says she tries to stick mainly to proteins. We'll take her word for it.
Victoria Beckham
Posh's figure hasn't changed a bit since her Spice Girls glory days. Rumors even circulated that she had an eating disorder, but she simply just maintains a healthy and controlled diet. The fashion icon and wife of scocer star David Beckham claims that she eats lots of fish, vegetables, and fruit.
Beyonce
They don't call her Queen Bey for nothing. The notorious singer has a jealousy-inducing body, and isn't afraid to flaunt it. After giving birth to Blue Ivy in 2012, Bey went on a vegan diet to shed pounds. But, she also tried the 22-Day Revolution, which involves changing your entire lifestyle rather than just your diet. We're interested to see what weight loss tricks she'll whip up now after the recent birth of her twins.
