Victoria Beckham

Before the birth of her third child Cruz, Mrs Beckham was on the strawberry diet. She ate a bowl of strawberries for breakfast and little else for the rest of the day, except for litres of mineral water. With such strict calorific intake, she maintained her 23in waist — the same measurement as a seven-year-old child’s. Victoria upped her eating when she fell pregnant, but five weeks after Cruz was born her flat tummy was back. She said it was down to ’sensible eating’ and sticking to solely Spanish food. Victoria reportedly ate lots of paella, olives and omelettes to shed the baby bump. 152g of strawberries: 49 cal. One portion paella: 320 cal. One 200g portion cooked brown rice: 216 cal. One 8g portion olives: 10 cal. Total: 595 cal.
