This is one aspect of being a celebrity that I do NOT admire: the scrutiny! Now Lady Gaga is experiencing it. Radar Online noticed Lady Gaga seemed to have gained some weight and speculates it’s due to alcohol consumption. Lady Gaga apparently has made no secret about drinking, saying in previous interviews that she follows “the drunk diet.”

“I like to drink whiskey and stuff while I am working.”

A nutritionist (who has not worked with Lady Gaga) looked at recent pictures of her and gave his opinion:

“Gaga appears to have gained at least 30 pounds. Alcohol sugars can only be stored as fats. Whereas most sugars can be used as fuel and whatever is left over is stored,” he revealed. So all that drinking adds up as fat pretty quickly, no matter what the rest of her diet is like.”

Pretty bold speculation for someone who has never worked with Lady Gaga! The singer reportedly is planning to lose 10 pounds by following a gluten-free diet, but nutritionists say that isn’t the best strategy.

“Gluten-free diets are for people who have allergies to gluten, are gluten sensitive or have Celiacs Disease – not for weight loss! They do not give people more energy. Energy comes from eating a well-balanced diet, drinking plenty of water, eliminating non-nutritive sources of calories (such as vodka), and exercising regularly and vigorously.

“If someone wants to try a gluten-free approach just for curiosity or to experience what other grains, rices, potatoes and yams taste like instead of wheat, then great! There are many things that contain gluten that aren’t particularly healthy, but that doesn’t make things that are gluten free automatically healthy either.”

I don’t blame Lady Gaga for covering up like she is in these pictures with this type of scrutiny!
