Kylie Minogue on strict water diet?

In a bid to finally crack the US market Kylie Minogue has subjected herself to a harsh diet regime, the UK's Daily Mail has reported.

The paper says a source close to the star has revealed that her new super-slim figure is down to her "water diet", which has helped the already trim star drop a dress size in preparation for her TV appearances in the US.

The diet involves drinking just water flavoured with freshly squeezed lemon or lime and only eating one small low-kilojoule meal a day.

"When she wants a treat she freezes the citrus water into ice cubes so it feels like she's eating a healthy ice lolly," the unnamed source said.

The source also said that "she wasn't overweight" to begin with but says Kylie will take drastic measures "whenever she's due to give a high-profile performance or has a photo shoot".

Kylie has since taken to Twitter denying the report and that she is on any such diet. "OMG....... media reports that I am on a water diet are not only untrue but irresponsible. No, no, NO!!!!!!" she tweeted.

Her US appearances included Dancing with the Stars and the Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Following that she flew to Paris to debut her new single and next week will appear on the UK's X Factor alongside sister Dannii.

Kylie has slammed these rumours as been rubbish and has stated she eats three meals a day. After a cancer a scare I am sure she is doing everything she can to stay healthy!
If this is true, then I am very disappointed. Kylie is meant to be an inspiration and role model for Australian girls. She showed tremendous courage with her breast cancer battle, but now she has gone backwards by being another victim of the 'Hollywood image' crisis. Eating one low kj meal a day and some flavored water is pathetic, that is no where near an adequate amount of kj's a day. I feel sorry for her if she feels she needs needs to eat so poorly just so America will like her or think she is slim enough....its sad
if kylie has to near starve herself to make it big in a plastic world, well then I feel more sorry for her than I already did. Where is her confidence in her talent, get real girl, being skinny and starving wont make you a star, its your voice and who you are.
Firstly, why am i even reading this article? Secondly, has the world gone mad? These kinds of diets are getting too much airplay. I have a news headline for everyone - "Maintaining a healthy diet improves your quality of life".
Anyway, besides from worrying about all the nutrients she must be missing out on, doesn't depriving yourself of meals eventually cause more weight gain when you do begin eating normally again? (the other alternative is to continue eating like this, which would have to classify as an eating disorder...) That is, my understanding of it is that not eating enough signals to your body that there isn't much food around to survive on, so your body starts storing as much as it can of the food that you do eat to help you through this food drought - so when you do go back to eating normal amounts you actually retain more fat from each meal that you would have normally. --- Other "diets" that were actually eating disorders - "Luisel Ramos" - had a diet of lettuce leaves and diet coke at time of death (heart failure at age 22) "Ana Carolina Reston" - had a diet of apples and tomatoes at time of death (kidney failure at age 21)
She is at risk of her bowel shutting down from lack of food matter. Could end up with a colostomy bag. That's the problem when you go on silly liquid diets.
OMG! Does she not remember her scare with cancer? A healthy diet does NOT consist of only water & 1 small low kj meal per day. She looked fine before but if she continues with this she'll end up sick again or looking worse than ever before.
That is the worst diet I think I've ever herd, way to advocate unhealthy eating Miss Minogue. Nobody could keep that kind of diet up without fainting or getting very very sick indeed.
