David Beckham reveals wife Victoria has eaten the same meal every day for 25 years

Apparently Victoria Beckham will only ever eat grilled fish and steamed veg. Every day for 25 years. She says she won’t eat food cooked in oil, butter or sauces, red meat, or dairy.

AIBU to think life is too short to live without butter!

He's such a bigmouth!

MsTSwift · 01/02/2022 19:24

Some CV people genuinely aren’t bothered by food. I had a flatmate like that she didn’t enjoy food ate a plain baked potato every night. Seems sad to me but plus side you find being super slim easy!

Tiramysu · 01/02/2022 19:25

She can eat what she likes. Who are you to judge

TerrifiedandWorried · 01/02/2022 19:26

I knew someone who ate a plain baked potato every night. She had a serious eating disorder.

Rodedooda · 01/02/2022 19:26

To be fair i think throughout history this was probably the norm for most living by the sea. Even potatoes are relatively new!

Some people just have no interest in food.

I personally would find that hard, and a bit miserable but I think it's very inking of DB to comment. Just another stick to beat a successful woman with.

Thesearmsofmine · 01/02/2022 19:26

I guess it’s only sad if she is depriving herself of things she likes or if she is happy enough and isn’t that bothered about eating other foods.

Iwantmyoldnameback · 01/02/2022 19:26

I wish I had her willpower.

Tiramysu · 01/02/2022 19:27

Just another stick to beat a successful woman with. I agree

PeggyGa · 01/02/2022 19:29

She was open in her book about suffering from eating disorders

Sillyname63 · 01/02/2022 19:29

No wonder she doesn't smile!

I think it shows how disciplined she is
CrimbleCrumble1 · 01/02/2022 19:30

I bet it’s a whopper and chips.

LovejoysVase · 01/02/2022 19:30

How many diet plans have there been over the years that suggest this way of eating, and how many fat people are criticised for not following it?

Now a wealthy, successful woman is revealed to be following this diet, and she’s criticised?

Honestly, you can’t win.

FlexibleWorkingDenied · 01/02/2022 19:31

Anyone remember the “fish and a rice cake” guy? Grin

Interesting. I wonder why he feels it is his place to share about her eating disorder?

Bogiesaremyonlyfriend · 01/02/2022 19:32

I'd quiet happily eat the same meal every day. Food sucks and I'm not at all bothered by it. Wish I could not eat, save a ton of time.

Comefromaway · 01/02/2022 19:32

I don’t eat food in sauces though I do eat chips. I just don’t like them.
And my mum gets a bad stomach if she eats things cooked in oils especially butter.

DeathMetalMum · 01/02/2022 19:33

Well it's not the exact same meal. Plenty of different veg that can be steamed, same with the fish.

How does she have an eating disorder? She's eating a healthy meal every night. Probably more eating disorders on slimming world..
CovidCorvid · 01/02/2022 19:34

People have different priorities I guess. For her being slimmer is worth more than any pleasure from eating I guess.

Yes, I’m like this. I eat a more varied diet because I want DD to have a varied diet but I’d happily eat the same thing every day. I know some people would find it boring, but I’m not overly fussed about food, I just eat to stop being hungry.

I saw her on TV with something - possbly royal wedding - and she was constantly smiling and grinning as she was introduced to people.

Either she someone not bothered by food - or it's a control thing - friend with eating disorder could be like this.

WellTidy · 01/02/2022 19:36

I’m not surprised to be honest. She is super slim. I imagine it works for her.

I remember the fish and rice cake guy!

There’s a follow up video from a few years later. He got his desired body shape and seems happy.
