Julia Roberts tops LIME's list of celebs who has the most "organically" grown body - no additives or nips and tucks! Of the celebs listed in LIME's survey, Arnold Schwarzenegger may want to get some tips from Julia Roberts (who drew 67%) on how to achieve an "organically" grown body - where only Mother Nature has played a role. It's certainly not easy being "all natural" when you're in the public's eye - even Madonna surprisingly only drew in 17%, with Arnold trailing behind at 12% and Adrian Grenier with only 3%.

Britney Spears needs to begin to "live the change" and take steps towards striving for a healthier and more balanced lifestyle -- and stick with it!
