Celebrities and the Hay Diet

People seem to have an insatiable interest in celebrities, and I must admit I initially heard of the Hay Diet when I read an interview with Sir John Mills, who went Hay after the war because he had what he called a “man-sized” ulcer. Eating the Hay way cured it in a few weeks, and he stayed on the diet for the rest of his life. Throughout his life he could still fit into the suit he was demobbed in. He died in 2005, at the age of 97.

Another celeb. who was on the Hay diet for a time at least, was Princess Diana, but then she probably tried every diet under the sun.

Man Ray, the American artist, was also a notable follower of the Hay Diet, as were Elizabeth Hurley and Catherine Zeta Jones.
