British beauty Liz Hurley has tried every trick in the book to retain her svelte figure and her latest attempt is the vodka diet.

The 44-year-old who is married to Indian entrepreneur Arun Nayar has confessed how she has been forced to adopt the new dietary plan to keep her famous figure, reported Daily Mail online.

The 'Bewitched' actress has cut out coffee and wine from her diet, and has turned to vodka.

Now, instead of enjoying a glass of claret when she is at a social gathering, the model and actress has turned to vodka to keep her midriff trim.

"No, I don't miss having a glass of wine because I've switched to vodka. I don't really like vodka that much but I have a small one with a lot of fizzy water and a huge squeeze of lime. Initially it's like medicine but I've got used to it now," said the mother of one.

Hurley, who lives in Gloucestershire with Nayar and seven-year-old son Damian, admitted, "I used to drink an awful
lot of coffee, but I was told after the age of 40 you have to
be careful with coffee and wine."

Following the birth of her son, she revealed how she only eats one meal a day and often goes to bed hungry.

It was also reported last year that she has just one square of organic chocolate or one tablespoonful of ice-cream when she wants a treat.
