Hollywood's hidden diet secret: Why celebs are terrified of these foods and why you shouldn't be?

What do A-list actors, chart-topping singers, and red-carpet regulars have in common? According to viral fitness influencer and celebrity diet critic Laura Ghiacy, there’s one surprising staple you’ll almost never see on their plates—white carbohydrates. That’s right. Bread, pasta, and white rice are seemingly off-limits in the glitzy world of fame and fitness. But Ghiacy is calling out this trend for what it really is: another slice of toxic diet culture.

With over half a million followers on TikTok and over 17,000 followers on Instagram, Ghiacy has made a name for herself by dissecting “What I Eat in a Day” videos from the rich and famous. But she isn’t just watching—she’s debunking, correcting, and shaking up the illusion that these restrictive eating habits are aspirational. Her mission? To challenge the idea that the “thinnest version” of a person is necessarily the healthiest.

The Missing Carb on Every Celebrity Plate
“There’s rarely a white carb in sight,” Ghiacy told The Mirror. “If I see pasta, bread, or white rice, I’m thrilled.” Instead, she notices a predictable rotation of sweet potatoes, cauliflower rice, and “clean” alternatives. And when stars do allow themselves a carb, it’s often presented with a disclaimer—as though they’re confessing to a crime.

But then came a refreshing twist: Katherine Heigl. In a video that Ghiacy says felt like a “breath of fresh air,” the 27 Dresses star casually admitted to enjoying frosted mini wheats for breakfast, sandwiches during the day, and pasta at restaurants. For once, no celery juice, no detox talk—just a human being enjoying actual food.

Is Clean Eating Getting Too Clean?
According to Ghiacy, the problem lies in the culture we’ve created around food and bodies. We’ve idolized thinness to the point where green juice and carrot sticks aren’t just meals—they’re status symbols. And when celebrities share ultra-restrictive diets, it’s not just lifestyle advice—it’s an unspoken endorsement of disordered eating.

Even influencers, who are supposed to be the more “relatable” faces of wellness, often echo these same patterns. The obsession with eliminating carbs and demonizing sugar is still deeply entrenched, despite a growing body of evidence that balanced diets—including carbs—are essential for most people’s health and energy.
The Real Danger of Celebrity Diet Imitation
The influence of celebrity diets goes far beyond the screen. Ghiacy warns that mimicking these plans can do more harm than good. Bodies are complex, shaped not only by food but by genetics, hormones, medication, and socioeconomic factors. What works—or appears to work—for one person may be completely inappropriate for another.

“What we’ve done as a society is put thin bodies on a pedestal,” she says. “We compliment that thinness, and by extension, we endorse the behaviour that led to it. That doesn’t sit right with me.”

Breaking Bread with Reality
In a world that celebrates “clean eating” to the point of obsession, Ghiacy is a rare voice of balance. She’s not anti-health, but she is anti-hype. Her message is simple: food isn’t just fuel—it’s joy, culture, and connection. And yes, that includes white carbs.

So, the next time a celebrity tells you their lunch was a juice and a dream, remember: that’s not a goal, it’s a red flag. And perhaps, in this era of avocado toast and kale chips, it’s time we finally bring back the humble sandwich—no apologies necessary.
