Jessica Simpson has come under fire in recent years for failing to meet Hollywood’s size zero standard of beauty. The public has witnessed the fluctuation in her weight over the years and she has talked candidly to the media about her weight.

The singer has recently made the decision to embrace a new lifestyle. The singer went vegan for a weekend. She announced that she is toying with the vegan lifestyle. She made an announcement over the weekend via Twitter, “Shocked my system with a vegan diet, special Pu-erh tea from China, and cupping since Friday!”

“Pu-erh” is an aged Chinese tea that is used to facilitate digestion. “Cupping” refers to an acupuncture process in which glass cups are applied to the skin to reduce pain and aid digestion. She is being treated by Dr. Wang, the creator of the Total Vitality program. The program combines acupuncture techniques, meditation and other rituals designed to help a person become healthier.

The singer-designer insists that her recent interest in healing has little to do with weight. She insists, “It is about understanding my body through hydration and alkalinity.” In a recent appearance on Oprah, the actress said, “I’m comfortable with me. I love my curves. I’m not ever going to be a size 0 and weigh 90 pounds.”
