I would fast several times a year and go for regular colonics. They really did the trick for me."Before finding her winning formula, Courtney's weight was rocketing in the wrong direction.When she attempted to follow a strict macrobiotic diet - allowing her to eat only grains, rice and raw vegetables and cut out caffeine, alcohol, bread and pasta - she actually gained 45lbs.She said: "My daughter Frances and I were kind of going for it because the dessert is fantastic. I put on 30lbs and I put on another 15lbs out of emotional depression. Then I'm suddenly 182lbs."Courtney eventually settled upon a dieting regime which included lots of fish, and two meal replacement shakes per day.The 43-year-old, who now weighs just 139lbs, thinks her success proves that you don't have to limit your diet too much in order to lose weight.She said: "I hate reading magazines where the actresses are saying, 'Broccoli and fish, broccoli and fish.' You liars. You bulimic liars!" (C) BANG Media International
