    Angelina Jolie, 10 Best celebrity diets, Marie Claire

    If Angelina's got one of her all-action flicks coming up, she'll go on a special film-friendly diet. 'I eat steamed seabass or steamed beef and vegetables, and I have no sugar, and only drink soy milk.' http://www.marieclaire.co.uk/celebrity/a-z/158666/angelina-jolie.html

    The newlywed's slim-down diet tip? 'I eat lots of soups and fish prepared blandly,' she says. 'It might sound bleak, but it works!' http://www.marieclaire.co.uk/celebrity/a-z.html

    The Oscar-winning Chicago star doesn't like faddy diets but lives by two rules: 'I don't eat carbs after 5pm and I drink skimmed milk.' http://www.marieclaire.co.uk/celebrity/a-z/158690/catherine-zeta-jones.html

    Claudia Schiffer

    Supermodel Schiffer knows it's important to kick-start the day healthily. 'I eat lots of fruit for breakfast because it's cleansing and quickly digested by the body.' http://www.marieclaire.co.uk/celebrity/a-z.html

    J-Lo

    Beyonce

    The mum of twins insists it's all about reigning yourself in. 'I'm not obsessive about my diet, but the one thing I don't do is overeat. I can limit the chocolate chip cookies to one or two.' http://www.marieclaire.co.uk/celebrity/a-z/163272/jennifer-lopez.html

    'It's all about portion control,' says the gorgeous model who looks fantastic in a bikini when she advertises her own swimwear range. 'Grilled fish, a small amount of wild rice and vegetables is a good meal.' So that's how she gets her beach-ready bod. http://www.marieclaire.co.uk/celebrity/a-z.html

    Heidi Klum

    This woman literally makes us weep with her near-perfect body (still stunning even after three, yes, three, children). What's her basic diet do? 'No bread - that's the most important thing.' It's gone already! http://www.marieclaire.co.uk/celebrity/a-z/267050/heidi-klum.html

    'Always eat breakfast because it kick-starts the metabolism,' advises the WAG, who slimmed right down for her 2008 Italian wedding to footballer hubby Wayne. 'I also avoid eating ready-made sandwiches for lunch as they contain loads of rubbish.' http://www.marieclaire.co.uk/celebrity/redcarpet/7098/1/0/coleen-mcloughlin-and-wayne-rooney-s-wedding-celebrations.html
