The Heartbreak Diet

I am still on my quest to lose another 14lbs (at least) so I was impressed to see how well Kelly Osbourne was looking of late.

She was already looking fantastic, healthy and in shape after her stint on Dancing with the Stars but her weight loss has kept on going over the past couple of months. It's debatable as to whether she is becoming to thin but at the moment there is no doubt about how great she looks.

Unfortunately it seems Kellys weight loss is down to a broken heart after splitting with her man earlier this year. Not an ideal way to lose weight but almost makes me want to be dumped!! (joking - touch wood).

As much as Kelly looks amazing, it probably isn't nice to lose weight in this way, i've even been there myself and as a food lover it is pretty depressing when the sight of everything makes you feel sick and upset. Here are some tips to deal with a heartbreak diet and to make sure you are still keeping healthy, eating and moreover, aiding emotional healing:


  • Eat little but often. This is possibly a no brainer as you won't want to eat at all but even a small portion of food will help keep your energy levels up and your brain ticking away.

  • Stay hydrated. Drink plenty of water and whatever you do, don't turn to booze, it's a recipe for disaster. In a time of heartbreak you need your brain to think rationally as you will be full of irrational responses and behaviour while you deal with your loss, so it helps keep you in check.

  • Try Bachs Rescue Remedy, apparantly it helps with emotional healing. Even bathe in aromatherapy oils to destress you and help restore some calm.

  • Dried Mint and Ginger can be good for nausea, so check out your local health store or Holland & Barrett.

  • Keep yourself occupied, see friends and family, enjoy their company. It will help keep your mind off more upsetting matters.

  • Have a bar of chocolate... chocolate cures EVERYTHING!

  • Cry. Seems obvious but grieve your loss and let it all out.

Nevertheless, Kelly looks pretty happy in her recent photos which is hopefully a sign she is getting over her breakup ... and bet she is feeling pretty smug with herself knowing how great she looks. Bet that Luke one is kicking himself now!

    I think kelly looked fab before in that pic. It can be hard to judge on pictures just how small someone is,but i've seen an article saying she is now a size 6?!
