Macrobiotic diets are tough to stick to and not for the casual dieter. They work by eliminating wheat, eggs, meat and dairy foods from your diet and putting the emphasis on vegetables, grains and nuts instead, thereby avoiding the use of highly processed or refined foods and most animal products.

Devoted macrobiotic fan Madonna (left) has shown the world her assets recently, and the reason why her healthy lifestyle is keeping her young.

Her former private chef, Mayumi Nishimura, wrote a book detailing the star's 10 Day Detox Diet which included, miso soup, tofu and seaweed so that fans could try out the Material Girl's detox.

The 56-year-old singer has said her daily dinner comprises of, 'Fish, some kind of grains, some kind of cooked vegetable, and salad. Simple, but tasty'. But Madonna says her weakness is a naughty carb and sugar treat. 'When I'm sneaking and I'm having a moment of decadence, I eat toast with strawberry jam,' she confesses.

The Queen of Pop also loves sipping ginger tea for energy and a yerba beverage; a South American herb supplement which is said to burn fat and boost health and vitality.

A fan of Alejandro Junger’s Clean Diet, 'Iron Man' star Gwyneth Paltrow kickstarted her own Goop 3 Day Detox at the beginning of 2014, 'with guidance from Dr. Alejandro Junger, a specialist on the subject'. She started each day with a glass of room temperature lemon water followed by herbal teas and with healthy shakes providing the majority of the daily diet.

The 42-year-old actress says of her ambitious project: 'Our winter detox has looser guidelines and restrictions than ones we’ve done in the past but here is what we’re avoiding: dairy, gluten, shellfish, anything processed (including all soya products), nightshades (potatoes, tomatoes, peppers and aubergine), condiments, sugar, alcohol, caffeine and soda.'

Who else? Alicia Silverstone, John Travolta, Courtney Love, Nicole Kidman and Barbra Streisand.
