Rocker Courtney Love has credited hypnotist Paul McKenna for her recent weight loss.
The widow of Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain consulted the weight-loss guru after using conventional dieting methods to shed more than three stone, which she had piled on after quitting drugs.
But even her close friends are concerned that her latest weight loss is far too dramatic.
One said, “She is skeletal now. Her weight would always yo-yo depending on whether she was doing drugs or not but then she cleaned up her act in rehab and replaced drugs with food.
“But Courtney is an addict and now she is addicted to losing weight.
“She looks terrible. She needs to put on a stone at least.
“Ever since she’s been seeing McKenna for hypnosis sessions, she’s lost more weight. It doesn’t look good but she thinks he’s a genius.”
Courtney, 44, underwent a series of Think Yourself Thin hypnosis sessions with McKenna, who moved from London to Los Angeles this year.
She told friends, “I’ve known Paul for years. I lost weight last year the old-fashioned way by dieting and living off protein shakes. But it was hard to stay disciplined. I was worried the weight might come back so I booked myself in for weekly sessions with Paul.
“He’s brilliant and is totally responsible for me staying so skinny. Whenever I start to feel my resolve weaken, I go to Paul for another hypnosis session.”
Courtney says she piled on 45lb two years ago after quitting drugs. She lost it on a meagre diet and through exercise and colonic irrigation.
But she has recently lost a further 10lb, leading to worries about her health.
