Barrys Bootcamp Diet
From http://www.mybarrysbootcamp.com/
Louise Redknapp followed an extreme version of this diet and fitness regime for "In The Truth About Size Zero" on ITV. Her version was restricted to 800 calories a day with 52 hours of exercise over 30 days! Breakfast was restricted to oats and omlette, with berry snacks (not after 11am), and fish and greens for lunch & dinner.
