Does your starsign make you fat?
If you've been blaming the lack of a supermodel figure on over-indulgence we may have a ray of light for you. From blogger Mrs Trefusis Takes A Taxi, we investigate Astro-dieting.
Blogger Mrs Trefusis has just posted an intriguing piece questioning whether her starsign could in fact be making her fat. Anything that ensures we can stay thin and drink champagne got our attention.
Describing herself as a Pisces and therefore "with the least willpower of anyone, who adores forbidden fruit, particularly the kind that's eleventy three thousand points at Weightwitches", blogger Mrs Trefusis reckons the zodiac might have some helpful advice for those looking to shed a few pounds for summer, whatever their sign.

CANCER: June 22-July 23
Are the stars on your figure's side? Food dictates your emotions - you get moody if not fed regularly, or if denied your favourite comfort foods. But you're fit and strong and can burn off big meals if you want to.
Most likely to make you fat? PMS sends you insane with desire for chocolate and sweets every month. And watch out for emotional crises: for Cancerians nothing comforts better than cake.
Eat right: Stave off cravings: to alleviate your food/emotion thing, make sure you're getting enough B vitamins (deficiency is linked to depression). B for instance, in bananas, avocado and fish can ease PMS symptoms.
Maybe it's because I'm Cancerian? Childhood habits linger with you, so if you always had to clear your plate, or were never allowed sweets, chances are you're still obeying mummy.
LEO: July 24-Aug23
Are the stars on your figure's side? For proud Leos, thinness has nothing to do with health - it's all about looking fabulous and wrigging into designer clothes.
Most likely to make you fat? Your love of good living conflicts with your glamorous side: but you can bet your bottom dollar (or just your bottom) that Leo Jennifer Lopez had to choose between a passion for fine dining and wearing skinny jeans
Eat right: If you've overindulged, try a detoxing juice fast. Three days will have you bright-eyed and busy-tailed. Watch the fat content of your favourite foods: Leo rules the heard, so steer clear of no-carb diets that narrow your arteries as well as your hip measurements.
Maybe it's because I'm a Leo? Leos like individual attention - a personal trainer will give you the encouragement to strive for faster results
