We all seem to have a fascination with what celebrities eat, and the celebrity diet has become something of a hot topic of recent, so that is why for a change I have decided to run a series of posts which discuss celebrity’s diets.
Denise Van Outen is better known for her presenting stints on Channel Fours big breakfast programme, which she used to co-host with Johnny Vaughan. So we are now going to have a look at what she eats, and how she manages to keep her size 10 figure.
Denise says that she “loves food and that no one should ever feel hungry or skip meals” that is what dieting is not about and losing weight also. Her diet is very easy to follow and nothing complicated at all, she always starts the day with a nutritional breakfast one example is porridge some fruit or yoghurt, and says that most people should start the day with a good meal inside them.
After you have been asleep for eight hours, you have been on a fast, and you need food in order to kick start your day properly. One of her mantras is not to force yourself to eat food that you don’t particularly like, she says that diets shouldn’t necessarily be a punishment as a way of forcing yourself to eat foods that you don’t particularly like.
Which makes perfect sense in itself, perhaps that is where people sometimes go wrong. If there are certain foods that you do not like whether it be a fruit or vegetable, then just substitute it for something else.
Denise’s eating plan is based around eating low GI foods, just in case you are not aware of the meaning of this, these are foods that release their sugar more slowly. Which helps to keep blood sugar levels in check and stops cravings, you will also feel fuller for longer.
If you follow Denise’s eating plan, here are some of the expectations you should get from it. Women may be able to lose five pounds in the first week and possibly 10 pounds in a month men can probably lose five to seven pounds in a week and a stone in a month.
The meal’s break down into calories as follows
Breakfast 300 calories
Lunch 300 to 350 calories
Dinners 350 to 400 calories
Here is a typical day of what Denise eats
Breakfast
Scrambled eggs on toast
Porridge
Alternatives are wholegrain cereal such as Bran flakes, Fruit and Fibre or All Bran served with skimmed milk. Or a bacon sandwich with two slices of toast a tomato sliced and a rash of grilled lean bacon with tomato ketchup if you want it.
Lunch
Mexico and bean pitta
Get a tin of kidney beans and blend or mash them with a fork and a few drops of Tabasco sauce, some chopped coriander and spring onion. Season with black pepper and lemon juice.
Warm a small wholemeal pitta bread, split it open and stuff with shredded lettuce and a slice of tomato and add to it the been mix and serve.
Dinner
Egg and chips with mushroom and tomato
Cook approximately one hundred grams of oven chips according to the instructions, get to large flat mushrooms brush with oil and grind black pepper over them. Get to tomatoes cooked in half and brush these lightly with oil and again grind over some black pepper and a little salt.
Bake this in the oven and at the same time as you’re doing this brush and nonstick frying pan light with oil and fry two eggs serve this immediately with the chips mushrooms and tomatoes.
Tandoori chicken
Get approximately hundred and 50 grams of lean chicken skinless, and picked this with a fork. Get a small part of some natural low-fat yogurt put this in a bowl. And at a pinch of ginger a teaspoon of paprika and a clove of some crushed garlic. A bay leaf, and one tablespoon of tomato puree a pinch of salt and the zest of a lemon which is grated.
Mix these ingredients well together add to this the chicken making sure you cover it well with the marinade, cover the bowl with some cling film and leave this in your fridge overnight. Now you are ready for cooking the next day heat your oven to 180 degrees centigrade. Place your chicken on a wire rack in a roasting tin and cook the chicken for 45 minutes basting the chicken every 15 minutes and serve this with a warmed pitta bread.
Or you can do variations on this also, for example a roast dinner served with hundred grams of lean roast beef or chicken with roast potatoes and vegetables of your choosing plus additional gravy if you require. Or you can have some grilled salmon which is lightly brushed with oil which is topped with some crushed garlic and rosemary and also add noodles mixed with spring onions and a lettuce and tomato salad.
