How This Chef Really Stays Trim

[Pop Bitch] It’s been a trend among celeb chefs to release cookbooks encouraging healthy eating and balanced nutrition – but which TV foodie is using a much more old-skool method to stay trim?

By necking diet pills until they get the shakes.

BG Translation: Necking = eating or drinking something (especially alcohol) very quickly.

  5. I’ll guess lovely Nigella Lawson, only because she doesn’t do the preachy no sugar/ low fat stuff the rest of the UK chefs trade off these days.

    “Necking” maybe a clue for when Charles Saatchi throttled her outside a resteraunt years ago?

  6. Necking is a British term, so with that in mind I’ll go for Gordon Ramsay.

    If I want to lose a few pounds I go on the 5.2

  8. Nigella Lawson as “nicking” is a British term.
    If I only had 10 pounds to lose I would be shouting it from the rooftops! LOL:)

  10. Giada de Laurentis. No Italian cook is that skinny, if they’re eating their own food!

  11. Tom Kerridge lost a ton of weight and released a book on the virtues of healthy eating.

    I follow slimming world to lose weight a healthy way with support from people at a group. Loosing weight quickly is not good for you.

  13. It’s always Giada.
    Master cleanse is stupid and extremely unhealthy but an effective for quick water weight loss. I would never do it again. But if I had to drop 10 pounds in a week for whatever ungodly reason, that would be it.

  17. Chef: Giada ‘Don’t Call Me Crazy’ DiLaurentiis

    [Optional] If you needed to lose ten pounds quickly, how would you do it? I can’t do anything quickly. I’d probably eat nothing but salads and bland chicken for a week to get the weight off.

  22. Nigella Lawson has very high profile gone through weight loss. I’ll say Giada though. She LITERALLY looks like a bobble head. Not even a real person. Her head and toothy grin keep getting bigger and bigger (along with her swingers interests and ego apparently!) and her body smaller and smaller. She almost looks IMPOSSIBLY skinny.

  24. Clearly Giada does not eat, so it could be her. Or the ultra vain Padma.

    But my feeling is this blind is about Gordon Ramsey. He constantly seems to go from soft to fit, and from plump to lean-seemingly overnight.

  27. Giada revealed years ago that during her show she would chew and spit. I have never been able to think of her the same way since. One bite of what you just prepared would have been too much? She’s also too skinny and acts weird, so I’m going with Giada de Laurentis.

    • But its not just one bite. You only SEE one bite, but it could have been 20 bites in 20 takes!

    • I don’t think it’s uncommon for tv chefs to chew and spit, but she is skinny and totally weird. Yeah, I think it’s her, too.

    • I agree IN THEORY. But you do realize it is never ONE bite? They do takes, different angles etc. You don’t do ONE bite of what you prepared. Maybe you take the first take only so you aren’t over eating?

  29. Thought immediately of Bobby Flay.

    Optional: No bread, rice, pasta, potatoes, cereal, sugar, alcohol.

  30. I don’t think it’s Giada. She notoriously and admittedly doesn’t eat very much. She’s got that down and has for many years. I doubt she has to turn to diet pills, that’s usually someone who struggles more, yo-yos, or is just getting started.

    You don’t need to cut out any food to lose weight, portion control works. See, e.g., Giada.
