It may seem funny, but did you know that Drew Barrymore started losing a lot of weight after she had her tongue pierced. Actually, she did not do it for mere weight loss purposes. It just came with the package. She was told afterwards that the pierce may induce a bit of discomfort and it was true. It was almost impossible for her to eat or drink for almost 2 weeks. She finds it a bit weird and great at the same since she managed to lose weight. 

She has also managed to stay fit and trim when she decided to lose weight after she got engaged. There have been rumors that she lost the weight through fad dieting but she figures that this was Hollywood and such gossips are very much considered normal.

The truth behind her weight loss was regular jogging and having a lot of veggies in her diet. By nature, Drew was a vegetarian which usually means no carbs.

But from an article made on Drew’s dieting regimen she shares that she ate a lot of veggies and combined with some carbs as well. At the time she was 30, she also added in more protein in her diet. Her weight has managed to decline year after year. In 2004, she already shed off 20 pounds and has managed to keep it that way. She says she has very little control when faced with her most liked foods and even tends to overeat at times. But to counteract weight gain she adhered to running 5 miles at least thrice a week.
