We have been admiring our most-liked Hollywood celebrities, especially when we see their stunning photos on magazines and the cyberspace. Nearly everyone imitates whatever we like about them -- hair, makeup, accessories. And, to be honest, even some would go after their regimens to achieve their idol's image. Fans usually think they can attain their favorite celebrity's lifestyle by mimicking them, so as to diet. Let's face it, we eat what they eat, thinking that we might achieve the same figure. When they cleanse their bodies using different stuff, we also do the same hoping that it might really detoxify us. Does Hollywood celebrity diets really work?

Question is, how true are these beliefs and ideas? Would it really cleanse my body? Would it transform my figure? Timothy Caulfield, a University of Alberta law professor and Canada Research Chair in Health Law and Policy, uncovered the truth about Hollywood celebrity diets. Let's take Gwyneth Paltrow, for instance. He asserted that he's not buying Paltrow's Goop.

As reported in Global News, Caulfield tried "Gwyneth Paltrow's Goop Food Cleanse" for a few days when he auditioned for "American Idol" in 2015. Well, he did lose some weight. But he emphasized that it was just a temporary effect and wasn't really about removing the toxins from your body. Goop apparently helped him lose weight because his food intake was monitored properly, resulting to consuming lesser calories. After 21 days of being in this cleansing and went back to his original eating routine, his weight's back again. He then pointed out that it's really just about dieting regardless of its type, as long as you're doing it properly.

Next is Kate Hudson's eating regimen. Robert O. Young, the man behind the alkaline diet, was arrested and faces up to 3 years in prison for practicing medicine without a license, according to Business Insider. Even before the Facebook, Instagram and Twitter era, celebrities tend to upload photos on their personal accounts though they aren't really convinced of its efficacy. Better consult an expert before taking these kinds of stuff.

Lastly, Caulfield considers "detox" is hardly a word. As stated by Delish, he mentioned that there's no scientific proof which can support the cleansing industry's concept of detoxification. He stressed our organs' roles in detoxifying our bodies naturally every day unless they aren't working properly. Therefore, he is not very pleased with Beyonce's Master Cleanse.
