Miley Cyrus is the latest celebrity to reveal her slimming tips. She was recently papped leaving the gym with a much slimmer body that we've seen on her before. But as gossip started to circulate that her new figure was a result of an eating disorder, Cyrus revealed that in fact it was down to a new carb-free diet and regular Pilate sessions.
Cyrus was quick to lash out at those who have been spreading rumours that she has an eating disorder, tweeting: "For everyone calling me anorexic I have a gluten and lactose allergy. It's not about weight it's about health. Gluten is crapppp anyway!" Although her sensitivity to gluten prompted her new diet, we doubt she is unhappy with the slimming side-effects.
Cyrus' condition is medically known as coeliac disease (or celiac in other countries) and affects about 1 in every 100 in the UK and the US. There are a number of symptoms which often mean that sufferers are misdiagnosed with irritable bowl syndrome, and include bloating, aches and feeling tired. Therefore doctors advice their patients to cut gluten from the diet, excluding all products containing wheat, barley or rye such as pasta, pizza, bread, cake and cereals.
Although a substantial number of people do indeed suffer from celiac disease, it is believed that only 10% of those on a carb-free diet actually are sensitive to gluten. The other 90% are just looking to lose weight. But whilst celiac sufferers do benefit from not eating gluten (including reducing the risks of intestinal cancer), there are fears for the 'normal' men and women who stop eating gluten but not for medical reasons.
Going on a gluten-free diet could mean missing out on important nutrients such as B vitamins, fibre and iron. Although Cyrus encouraged her Twitter followers to copy her by tweeting "Everyone should try no gluten for a week! The change in your skin, physical [sic] and mental health is amazing! U won't go back!", doctors urge men and women to speak to the GP first if they are considering going on a carb-free diet, whether to lose weight or because it makes them feel ill.
