Kate Winslet has dished her frank opinion on extreme dieting, saying it's "bloody boring" and "not a way to live".

The actress said that although she has cleansed and juiced in the past for film roles, she could never adhere to a strict diet regularly and become overly obsessed with her weight.

She told Marie Claire magazine: "Whenever I go to L.A. the make-up artist or hairdresser will end up having a conversation about how fat they think they are and I really just can't take it seriously at all.

"I'm just like, 'Yeah, you're right, you look gigantic, you need to lay off those boiled bits of chicken you've been eating, because have you seen your a**e?' And they're the size of a blinking pin.

"I'm no stranger to the occasional dodgy juice, but it doesn't taste very nice and it is bloody boring. It's not a way to live."

Hear hear, Kate!
