Britney Spears apparently has a very low self esteem. She thinks she’s too fat and she’s so desperate to lose weight that she considers starving herself.

“Britney told me, ‘I’ll starve myself because I’m fat,’” one friend of the singer reveals to OK!. “She kept telling me she thought she was fat and disgusting.” [Source]

It is also rumored that Britney is abusing laxatives to help speed her weight loss.

In case you were wondering what’s Britney‘s usual diet, her former bodyguard revealed that it’s a nasty one:

“After getting up at lunchtime and drinking her Starbucks coffee, she goes to a tanning shop in Bel Air, where she spends ten minutes on a UV bed every day. “After that she usually eats sushi for lunch or bowls of Special K. “We were always having to go out to get her Special K. “And she downs can after can of Red Bull or cola. She drinks three Red Bulls an hour. That completes her daily routine.”

“She has a terrible farting and burping problem. She burps and farts A LOT.” [Source]

The bodyguard also revealed that she expected two cups of Starbucks coffee each day when she got up between 1pm and 2pm.

Here are some photos of Britney Spears leaving Starbucks in Malibu on September 28:

Besides working out, Fergie also follows a healthy diet. Her nutritionist Carrie Wiatt has recently revealed what Fergie eats to stay in such a great shape.

BREAKFAST: Fergie begins her day with a protein-packed six-egg-white veggie omelet, seasoned with salsa or hot sauce. A smart start on the go? Pack two slices of 100-percent whole-grain toast with 2 tablespoons of low-fat peanut butter.MID-A.M. BITE: Top 4 ounces of low-fat or no-fat plain organic yogurt with 2 tablespoons of low-sugar granola (such as Bear Naked). “It’s low in sugar and has protein,” says Wiatt, who suggests pairing it with a bowl of fiber-filled berries. (Cottage cheese makes a great yogurt alternative.)

LUNCH: A Fergie fave? Mixed greens, a quarter of an avocado (for healthy fat), 4 ounces of shredded chicken (for protein) and half an antioxidant-rich grapefruit, all tossed with a nonfat dressing. (The same ingredients can be rolled into a 100-percent whole-grain tortilla!)

MIDDAY SNACK: Fergie’s go-to munchie? Light organic cheese (like a mozzarella stick or 1 ounce of Jarlsberg Lite) and rice crackers with flaxseed. (You can eat eight!) She never goes anywhere without first tucking fiber-filled Kashi bars into her purse.

PRE-SUPPER NOSH: Wiatt whips up a pureed vegetable soup — sans cream. At only 50 calories per cup, the small indulgence is super filling. Other lite treats? Carrots dipped in 2 tablespoons of hummus, a cup of air-popped popcorn or almonds!

DINNER: Fergie eats salmon (rich in Omega-3’s, which make hair and skin shiny and prevent bloating) and half a cup of whole-wheat couscous. She piles on 2 cups of veggies and adds 2 tablespoons of chili sauce or honey Dijon mustard for flavor. (Grilled balsamic chicken, brown rice and a side of saute?ed spinach is another great dinner option.) [Source]

Carrie Wiatt has wrote two very useful books about nutrition and portion control: Eating by design and Portion Savvy.

Here are a few more photos of Fergie arriving at her music studio for a rehearsal last week:

R&B singer Ashanti lost 8 pounds (3.6 kg) this summer on the Master Cleanser diet. She felt the need to shape up for the promotional appearances for her new film “Resident Evil: Extinction” and her new album “Declaration“, so she spent a week eating nothing.

“I did the lemon-pepper-maple syrup diet for seven days. When I got really hungry, I ate fruit. I lost eight pounds and kept it off.” [Source]

Here’s Ashanti looking great as she was leaving MTV’s TRL on September 18.
