Lady Gaga is known for her chartbusters such as Judas, Bad Romance, Paparazzi, Alejandro, etc. She is also known for her bold, shocking and unapologetically unconventional sartorial choices (remember when she appeared in a raw meat dress at the MTV Video Music Awards in 2010?). Unlike most celebrities, the diva has never shied away from her unhealthy dietary habits. In 2011, the diva went on a radio show and revealed the secret to her lithe physique: A ‘drunk diet’!

She stated she loved to drink whisky while working. But she ensures she works out on a daily basis. “I work out hung over if I'm hungover..." she told the Sirius radio show.

Her then boyfriend, musician and personal trainer Luc Carl wrote in his book ‘The Drunk Diet’ how he accomplished the feat of losing 40 pounds, all while drinking alcohol.


An article on Glamour stated that alcohol contains roughly 7 calories per gram, which can add up (particularly considering it contains no nutrition). However, the concept of alcohol-focused diets is not new; "The Drinking Man's Diet" advocates frequent consumption of lower-carb liquors in addition to carb-free diets.

What happens when you exercise while being hangover? If you drink some energy-boosting drink with lots of electrolytes, a workout can relieve the symptoms of a hangover.

In a 2024 interview with Women’s Health, the superstar’s chef, Bo O'Connor, shared she followed a very different diet to get in shape for the Joker sequel, Folie à Deux.

He said that while she was an “adventurous eater", she steered clear of ultra-processed foods. Breakfast consisted of a lot of egg whites with lots of vegetables or Greek yoghurt with some granola. Sometimes, she would have the healthier version of the French toast.

Lunch usually consisted of a heart salad. She would often have salad throughout the day. Dinner usually included quinoa pasta along with vegetables and grilled shrimp.

Gaga also has a lot of green tea, fresh coconut water and green juice to keep herself hydrated.
