A personal trainer for the super-rich has revealed the "farcical" health fads followed by some celebrities - like drinking urine and period blood. Matt Hodges insists getting fit is hard work, there are no quick fixes and no such thing as "super-foods".
The 40-year-old from south London found success as a personal trainer to the rich and famous after a brief role as Neil the barman in EastEnders in 2007. Soon he was working with socialites, celebrities, the uber rich and even some Russian oligarchs – but the wealthier his clients got, the more outrageous their get slim quick schemes became.
““I knew a woman who we caught drinking her urine as part of her holistic lifestyle,” he said. “Another had also been drinking her period blood, it’s just lunacy.
