New mum Tina Fey has abandoned her all-juice diet after an allergic reaction to the healthy treats caused her lips to swell up.
The 30 Rock star gave birth to daughter Penelope last August and, after struggling to lose the baby weight, she adopted a drastic juice cleanse in a bid to shed the pounds.
But Fey's good intentions didn't last long.
The Mean Girls actress says, "I don't really believe in those (cleanses) - your body's not like a purse, you're not supposed to turn it inside out and shake it... But I was like, 'Oh, I don't care, I just need to jump-start this.' So I tried it.
"You start with, like, a shot of... wheat grass or aloe, which tastes like liquid Band-Aids or, like, fish tank water. And then you have more juice and more juice and then later at night you get a vegan meal - it's a treat. And it had a thing on it called carrot cheese balls. And it's not even real cheese balls, so I don't know that it was.
"It was pretty good but then... I had some kind of allergic reaction to it and my lips swelled up."...
