I thought it would be fun to feature some celebrities from different eras on the site. Seeing as I just watched Factory Girl which was about the late Edie Sedgwick (the first ‘It Girl’) I thought maybe people were interseted in how she was so thin. I have been digging around and this is what I discovered about her.

Edie Sedgwick was a waif, she was incredibly thin and at one stage suffered from anorexia. She didn’t eat much as she was a heavy drug user. Her diet consisted of mainly alcohol, cocaine, uppers and downers or a deadly cocktail of them all (she ultimately died of an overdose).

Towards the end of her life she was so thin from all the drugs that she had to lie down to receive her heroin injection. If you stumbled across this page after looking up Edie Sedgwick’s diet and exercise regime then I’m sorry she didn’t have one. She never exercised.

For a healthy diet and exercise regime I recommend Lauren Conrad’s 1500 Calorie Day Diet. It’s been typed up in a printable chart for you!

Ladies don’t aspire to be as thin as Edie Sedgwick, she was a very ill girl. Check back in for more flashback files in the future (Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, Judgy Garland etc)
