Courtney Love is one of the first to admit that Hollywood fad diets don't work.
The grunge queen has recently lost a lot of weight but claims that she shed the pounds the old fashioned way - through basic diet and exercise.
The rock star has revealed that she gained 50 pounds while on the macrobiotic diet made famous by Gwyneth Paltrow. She told People, "I gained 40 to 50 pounds on macrobiotic food. I had Gwyneth's cook, who does macro food. I thought, 'It can't make me fat - he's Gwyneth's cook!' (But) I saw those pictures and thought, 'Oh my God!' 182 pounds. (That) does not look good on me. Nothing fit (sic)."
After sobering up and a stint in rehab, Courtney began watching her diet and doing yoga to tone up.
She continued, "I put the non-Photoshopped pictures on my fridge and had a lock fixed on it. My daughter Frances has her carbs in one drawer. I don't know where it is. I drink shakes and exercise my [butt] off. Isopure, no carbs - two shakes and one meal: fish. Fish and broccoli really does work!"
Dieting her way saw the "Malibu" singer lose 44 pounds in just four months. But now there is a new problem - finding clothes that fit her shrinking frame. To solve the enviable problem, Courtney is on the lookout for a stylist.
She said, "I haven't had a stylist in nine years because my old stylist went to Madonna. I've been looking and looking. I'd rather wear a tube top and have my stomach hang out than not have a good stylist."
