LONDON. — Victoria Beckham shocked fans this week when she declared that she “no longer cares” what anyone thinks about her body and life is “too short” to count calories.
The 50-year-old designer has a famously limited diet, but insisted in a recent chat with Grazia magazine that she wouldn’t go as far as to give up her beloved wine and she just wants to “have a nice time”.
She did, however, admit her diet was “disciplined”, stating: “This is how I look. I’m going to make the best of it, work hard at it.
“I’m very disciplined with the way that I eat, the way that I work out and the way I work. That’s just who I am.”
It perhaps undersells her extreme eating habits, with her husband David previously revealing that Victoria has eaten the same meal every single day for 25 years — grilled fish and steamed vegetables.
“I get quite emotional about food and wine, when I’m eating something great I want everyone to try it,” he said.
“Unfortunately, I’m married to someone that has eaten the same thing for the last 25 years.
“Since I met her she only eats grilled fish (and) steamed vegetables. She will very rarely deviate from that.
“The only time she’s probably ever shared something that’s been on my plate was actually when she was pregnant with Harper and it was the most amazing thing.
“It was one of my favourite evenings. I can’t remember what it was but I know she’s not eaten it since.”
In July, Victoria responded to this confession, telling Vogue Australia her husband made her tastes “sound boring” when in fact she fills her diet with ‘healthy fat’ and regularly does detoxes where she abstains from drinking alcohol.
She said: “I mean, talk about making me sound boring! No. What he meant is that he’s never met anyone who is more disciplined with the way that they eat.
“I eat lots of healthy fat: fish, avocado, nuts, that sort of thing. I do drink alcohol, unless I have a reason not to.
“I’ll detox from anything for three to six months where I won’t drink. I’m quite extreme in anything I do, whether it’s eating or working out or drinking or not drinking.”
Victoria’s extreme diet has hit the headlines over the years, with Rio Ferdinand also giving an insight into her eating habits.
The retired English footballer (44) is friends with Victoria’s husband David after playing football together at the World Cup and would sometimes dine with the couple during training. — Mailonline.
