Author Deepak Chopra is experimenting with a new diet that consists solely of krill, a small shrimp that is the primary diet of blue whales. He said that "If this tiny creature can sustain the largest animal on Earth, it must be worthwhile." He has maintained his weight and energy, but has said that the shells from the krill have been "very, very, very hard" on his "colon and anus".

Once, when asked how she maintained her figure, actress Sally Field said "Oh, that's easy. I like to screw more than I like to eat. I have to have my assistant remind me to eat."
