Bethenny Frankel is a celebrity chef who focuses on “natural food.” She is one of Hollywood’s favorite nutritionists, having created healthy meals for SheParis Hilton, Mariska Hargitay, Brooke Hogan, Alicia Silverstone and Michael J. Fox. Her book “The Thin Book – The 25 Rules to Being Thin, Without Dieting” includes tips on working with your natural eating preferences while making smarter, more sensible choices.

For example, Alicia Silverstone has a strict vegetarian diet. Paris Hilton eats whatever she wants, but in controlled quantities, stopping when satisfied. It’s a “Taste everything. Eat nothing” principle where “food is not the enemy.” Mariska Hargitay of “Law and Order” leans towards Mediterranean food, and only follows one rule — no preservatives.

The lesson? Find a diet that works for you.
