Elizabeth Taylor was one of the most beautiful women in the world in the sixties of the last century. It’s hard to imagine in our time, when almost the entire female population since puberty is obsessed with weight loss that at that time the nutrition of Elizabeth Taylor left much to be desired.

Her diet consisted of fried chicken and glass of whiskey, and a French baguette with a filling. But over time, the actress had to say goodbye to such a diet.

Elizabeth started her day with a breakfast of fruit (actress preferred strawberries). She ate all sorts of lean meat and fish. The iconic actress also included in her diet slightly dried bread. As with all other diets, Taylor drank at least two liters of liquid.

The emphasis was made on fresh vegetables. Besides, the actress has excluded from diet ketchup, sauces and mayonnaise. If necessary, she seasoned them with olive oil.

This diet is not as interesting one as it corresponds more or less to rationally balanced diet. Such regulations were the basic ones for the actress for all times.

However, when Elizabeth Taylor felt like she gained some extra kilos, she addressed to the more radical methods and diet.

This diet lasted for ten days, and was referred to the strict and rigid system of nutrition.

In the morning on an empty stomach, the actress drank the juice of four grapefruit, two lemons (all in the form of freshly squeezed). She added to such concentrate some filtered water to make two litters of fluids. All the resulting liquid she drank in a single day.

It should be noted that it is not recommended to eat anything except it. A sort of fasting day.  The following days (from the fourth to the tenth day), Elizabeth ate only fruits, vegetables, as well as options for different juices from them.
