Some stars will do anything to lose those pesky extra pounds…

Jersey Shore’s Jenni “JWoww” Farley and Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi recently admitted to being on the “Secret Celebrity Diet” otherwise known as the “HCG Diet” to us Normies.

The super svelte JWoww says she was eager to try the diet after she saw how fast a friend was able to shed major poundage.

My girlfriend lost 40 lbs in six weeks on the plan. She tried everything and it worked for her. So I thought if it worked for her, it would work for me…

According to reports, the “HCG Diet” tricks the body into thinking it’s pregnant and allows the dieter to drop up to 1lb. per day.  Dr. Erica Schwartz, a hormone expert from the Age Management Institute appeared on Fox and Friends this weekend to discuss the validity and safety of this new weightloss method.

Surprisingly, Schwartz said that the “Secret Celebrity Diet” not only works, but is actually safe, if done under a doctor’s care.

Oh, but there’s one catch.  You have to eat under 500 calories per day – The HCG acts as an appetite suppressant, so ideally, you shouldn’t feel like you want to kill yourself because you’re so underfed.

Now, it’s been a long time since I’ve stepped on a scale at Weight Watchers, but isn’t eating less than 500 calories a day enough of a diet?  Do people really need to pump themselves full of artificial pregnancy hormones?

Not to mention, I’m sure the gals who elect to use this method of dieting are just deLIGHTFUL to be around…
