Jessica Simpson Says Dieting Has “Nothing To Do With Weight”

Jessica Simpson is always catching snarky comments about her weight, even when she looks great. It’s got to hurt, at least a little. So why would she go and invite commentary about her body by tweeting about her detox and diet regimens? Jess posted:

“Shocked my system with a vegan diet, special Pu-erh tea from China, and cupping since Friday!”
Pu-erh tea is supposed to be good for detoxing (especially for hangovers, evidently) and weight loss. Cupping is a Chinese medicine practice that uses heated glass cups on your skin to “suck” toxins out. Vegan diet, self explanatory.

She later explained what she was up to:

“Just so everyone is clear.. this has NOTHING to do with weight!. It is about understanding my body through hydration and alkalinity.”

Hold the phone. The woman who claims “REAL WOMEN EAT MEAT” decides to go vegan for hydration and aklalinity? I don’t buy it. I also think her body is fine. She often picks clothes that accentuate all the wrong areas, or that just don’t work for her – you know, at all – but there’s nothing wrong with curves. She just needs a new stylist and she’ll be just fine.
