Karina Smirnoff, a world-champion dancer on Dancing With the Stars, told Us Weekly that she controls her weight by “taking a tablespoon of olive oil on an empty stomach,” which is her mom’s advice. “On an empty stomach” — I wish I’d thought of that way of putting the between-meal requirement. Good Morning America mentions it here — quick, go to the “keeping bodies ballroom ready” segment, which will only be available for a few days.
