Lindsay LohanSkinny-minny Lindsay Lohan is denying that she has gone a crash diet to get her new lightweight physique.

She went from being curvy to being bony in such a short amount of time that it provoked cries of concern from everyone that was right and sane (and a lot of people that are neither).

Lindsay has previously attributed her weight loss to the end of puberty and too much exercise but now she’s suggesting to Heat magazine that it was just a case of a bad diet and working too hard.

“When I was doing Herbie, I was working a lot and pushing myself.

“I got sick and ended up in hospital because I wasn’t taking care of myself. I was eating junk food and not working out and not being healthy. So now I eat healthier, work out and take care of myself.

“Trust me. My mother would kill me if I did anything stupid.”

Lindsay recently cut short a promotional tour of Europe to support her family during her parents’ divorce.
