We love an inside look into the daily lives of our favourite celebrities, especially when it comes to comparing the food on our plates to their food on their Instagrams. We've rounded up the most interesting celebrity diets - there's a few surprises in there!
Ever wondered what your favourite celebrity eats all day, every day?
Don’t worry – we have too, and it’s perfectly normal to wonder about
those celebrity diets, not to mention totally fascinating!
The
celeb diet is a topic that magazines love to cover, with so many
interviews asking what a typical day in their food-life looks like.
We’ve summed up everything in bite-sized packages so you can peek inside
their food diaries.
We’re always a little bit obsessed by what
celebs eat, and while some eat pretty much the same stuff that we do,
others are a little more alternative with their choices of grub. Whether
it’s a weight-loss fad diet, a homemade family dinner, or a night of
luxury wining and dining, you can guarantee that our favourite
celebrities will be snapping a pic for Instagram or broadcasting it on
Snapchat for all their followers to see.
With so many dieting
trends telling us what we should be munching on and what we should be
hurling far, far away from our bodies, it’s refreshing to see that not
everyone sticks to these all the time! A few of our favourite celebs
have said that while they try to be gluten-free, dairy-free, or
whatever-free as much as possible, they love their treats and try to
combine healthy options with indulgent bits here and there.
So
many celebrities are admired for their slender frames, intensive workout
programs and pricey detox treatments, but it’s a relief to see some who
stay in shape just by picking whole-food goodness instead of putting
their bodies through hell.
While some of their daily menus seem a
tad overboard for us to include in our lifestyle (we’re looking at you,
Madonna!), we can’t deny that it’s inspiring to see that most of them
have meal plans that we so could get on board with.

What Mary Berry eats
Our beloved Mary spoke to Good Housekeeping about how she stays so trim, despite having to taste 36 cakes a day during Bake Off filming!
‘I have soup at lunchtime and I know exactly how many calories are in that soup. I don?t have bread with it, but I might have a salad if it?s very hot,’ she said.
‘I?ll have a couple of starters if I am in a hotel in the evening. That?s it. Otherwise I will put on weight because I am having to taste 36 cakes a day. It?s my job.
‘Freak diets, I don?t think work. It?s control. Have a smaller plate. I have mountains of vegetables – green vegetables, broccoli, beans. I have twice as much as my husband does.’

What Emma Willis eats
Emma has told the Express that she eats a healthy diet and tries to go gluten-free as much as she can, as she feels her body functions better without it. However, she does like a treat now and then like this gorgeous toad-in-the-hole!

What Kim Kardashian eats
Kim has stated all over her social media that she wants to get back to her pre-baby body, so she’s been following the Atkins diet.
Only consuming 1,800 calories a day, she often starts her morning with an egg omelette with cheese and vegetables. Lunch is a grilled lime chicken over squash or a spinach salad with feta, and dinner is often courgette noodles with spicy chicken sausage. Snacks include fruit and nut bars, hummus with veggies or Greek yoghurt with berries.
Now, her diet has relaxed a little bit, and she can eat small portions of brown rice, quinoa and potatoes. Because she was breastfeeding, she was strictly off the alcohol – but now that she’d stopped, she only drinks white wine and vodka as they have the lowest amount of carbs.
