Carol Vorderman revealed that she refuses to let doctors disclose her weight during medical checkups. She also shared insights into her diet, admitting that she doesn’t cook at home and enjoys eating her favorite foods like pasta, fish, and chips without worrying about their calorie count.
In addition to consuming a lot of healthy vegetables, the 62-year-old also indulges in low-calorie snacks.
During the Table Manners podcast, Carol shared the contents of her fridge with hosts Jessie and Lennie Ware. She said: “Lots of vegetables, a bit of coleslaw, fish, turmeric shots, which I love, fruit, Greek yoghurt, cottage cheese. If I go and stay in other people’s houses, I’m always amazed at what they’ve got in the fridge. But I don’t cook at home now you see.”
She continued: “When I go out, I’ll eat what I want. I don’t feel in denial at all. So, when I go out, I’ll have what I like. Good pasta I love. I don’t like sloppy pasta. I love butter. I love fish and chips, nice fish and chips, I don’t like French fries – proper old-fashioned big chips.”
Carol Vorderman confessed to undergoing a 28-day detox diet in 1999 to shed some pounds but has refrained from weighing herself ever since.
“Go back to my thirties, and my husband Paddy who I loved and adored, we loved pasta and all of that, but I was working really hard and I just got to the point where I was eating just to stay alive, stay awake. And I put on a bit of weight and I didn’t like that. So, I started this detox diet. It was slated by nutritionists at the time because it was 28 days detox diet. No meat, no wheat, no dairy, no sugar, for 28 days,” said Carol.
She added: “Then it was all ‘no, you can’t do that’. Now it’s like standard. This was for 28 days to sort of give all your organs a way of naturally detoxing. I was super high on veggies, not potatoes. I won’t buy normal potatoes because of the detox – changed everything I bought.”
“After the detox diet, I haven’t weighed myself since 1999 – don’t know what I weigh. I won’t let anyone tell me what I weigh – you know when you go for medicals. And by and large, when I’m home, I eat quite well. But if somebody’s bought me chocolates or whatever it might be, I’ll just find I’ll just eat them before I’ll go to the vegetables so I can’t have it in the house. I’m very happy – that’s all I’ve known for 20 years.”
Carol Vorderman’s comments precede her upcoming appearance on I’m a Celebrity All-Stars in South Africa later this year.
DailyMail reported that in 2016, Carol was the 8th celebrity to exit the Australian jungle after entertaining viewers with her flirty banter and jungle showers, and lasted for 18 days alongside winner Scarlett Moffatt.
Regarding her comeback, Carol stated: “Doing I’m A Celebrity changed me a lot and I can’t wait to take part in this new series. I loved everything about I’m A Celebrity the first time round. We’ve still got a WhatsApp group.”
Carol frequently shares her fitness routine on Instagram, showcasing her toned abs in a sports crop top and leggings while lifting weights, stretching, and doing squats at the gym.
She wrote in a post: “OFF TO GYM AGAIN TOMOZ.”
