The young starlet Lindsay Lohan hit the headlines a few days back for her reducing weight. It was more of a crash weight loss - she has actually reduced her dress size by three points. When questioned, she simply answers - 'people do lose their baby fat at this age!'

How ever, as this answer does not seem to be convincing enough, here are the speculations led by media reports & Hollywood rumors:

• Bulimia or Anorexia

With the amount of weight she has lost, the media circuits are suspecting her to be anorexic or bulimic. These are the eating disorders where the person eats large portions of food in very less time and then throws up vigorously.

• Emotional Dilemma

Michael Lohan, Lindsay Lohan's father explains that, 'I & my wife often have these fights & arguments. These have become an emotional trauma for my daughter. Also now her mother is imprisoned for 4 years with the charges of drunken driving. Of course, she is emotionally hurt. And that is why she is randomly losing weight.' Besides others, this seems to be quite a believable reason for the starlets losing size. It is scientifically proven than emotional trauma does lead to tremendous weight loss & gain.

• Puberty

The young Hollywood star in some interview blamed her weight loss to her puberty. She says, 'I recently became an adult and so I could not handle that stress. I was also hospitalized for the same reason. To keep healthy, I have now quit all the bad eating habits. As a result, I lost so much weight.'

• Admitting to the facts

This one is perhaps the most interesting fact. A magazine reported Lindsay to be bulimic just a few days back. She admitted to them that they may not be fully right, but partially they are. To cover up on the same, she also added, 'I thank this magazine to explain the ill effect of such means of weight loss. There are several healthy means to follow and one should never get down to such harmful resorts.'
