The songstress and former X Factor judge has been branded “irresponsible” by nutritionist Rhiannon Lambert after revealing the extreme weight loss measures she used after giving birth to son Bear.
Cheryl, formerly known as Cheryl Cole, said she wanted to get back in shape as she re-launched her pop career.
And to do that, Liam Payne’s ex said she tried some crazy diets and workouts.
Cheryl, 35, spilled her weight loss secret to Dermot O’Leary on his Radio 2 show last week.
“It would be nice to see more responsibility”

The former Girls Aloud star said she tried various workouts.
However, it was her diet measures that raised the most eyebrows.
Cheryl told Dermot: “So somebody said I should follow this guy on Instagram, he was getting so many testimonials – he’s called the Medical Medium – and he thinks you should drink 16oz (half a litre) of celery juice on an empty stomach in the morning before you have anything else, and it’s healing for your organs.”
Dermot then asked Cheryl if she had ever tried out any crazy diet techniques like downing hot water mixed with lemon and chilli first thing in the morning.
The star added: “Or apple cider vinegar. Oh my god, coffee – please, coffee.
“For me it’s consistency, I used to do things once or twice and forget about it. You’ve got to do it for a few months before you see results.”
Talking about Cheryl’s comments, nutrition specialist Rhiannon exclusively told us it would be nice if the Geordie lass was more “responsible” when it came to weight loss.
She commented: “As a registered nutritionist who spends her life trying to install healthy relationships with food seeing any high-profile individual discussing fad diets in this way is extremely disheartening.
“It would be nice to see more responsibility before discussing individual dietary choices in the media, perhaps an awareness on how this will effect the future generations.”
Dispelling Cheryl’s celery juice weight loss measure, Rhiannon also added: “Weight loss is energy in versus energy out but also the quality of the diet, the celery juice itself is mainly water so this is not going to be responsible for any body fat loss.
“When it comes to body fat loss, rather than simply weight loss, this is something that is more likely to stay off of it is over a long period of time and fits in to your lifestyle.
“The majority of dieters who embark on these fad diets put the weight back on and more some shortly after.”
