Alex Curran – Diet Pills?

Steven Gerrard’s WAG, Alex Curran, seems to have decided to use high risk Kelp tablets to ditch any excess weight that is destroying her confidence.

It is thought the tablets can be used to aid weight loss, but experts have warned against using them because of the lack of research into their long-term effects. The 27-year-old could be setting a bad example to young women as the pills have been blasted by health experts.

Kelp tablets are rapidly becoming the latest dangerous celebrity dieting fad.

Sion Porter, a dietician from the British Dietetic Association, said: ‘People mistakenly think that because these are natural tablets they must be harmless, but used in the wrong way they can be very dangerous.

‘The worry is that if young girls start to copy their idols, thinking this will offer them quick-fix weight loss, they are likely to make themselves very ill.

‘We would always recommend a healthy diet and an exercise plan as the ideal way to lose weight, and supplements should only ever be used in moderation to compliment a balanced eating regime.’

Last year Alex spoke in detail about her health kick after realising she was leading an unhealthy lifestyle.

She said: ‘Last year a pap took some pics of me and I had a few rolls. I’ve been eating rubbish for so many years.

‘Eating’s a boredom thing. When you’ve got nothing else to do, you just start planning your next meal.’

She managed to drop a dress size through what she said was a combination of healthy eating and gym sessions.

At the time she enthused: ‘I love the changes to my figure. I feel more confident wearing vest tops now.’
