Posh snubs Italian cuisine to stay super-skinny
Tuesday 06 January 2009
She’s known for her skinny frame, but when Victoria Beckham stepped out in Milan recently she shocked onlookers by appearing to have lost even more weight.
Wearing a dress that showed her protruding shoulder bones, Victoria, 34, looked scrawny and frail as she and husband David left a Milanese restaurant.
Sources close to the couple say that since David, 33, moved to Milan in December for a three-month loan from US football club LA Galaxy to AC Milan, weight-obsessed Victoria has even been calling ahead to restaurants to check she can order “off menu.”
A source said: “Victoria’s been in touch with some of the best restaurants in Milan to discuss her requirements for eating out.
“She always orders off menu as she prefers to eat steamed fish and veg. She won’t be touching any pasta or pizza. If she lets her weight slip even by a pound or two she goes into meltdown so she’s very careful about her diet.”
While the couple’s three sons – Brooklyn, nine, Romeo, six, and Cruz, three – will stay in LA, Victoria will be splitting her time between LA and Milan where she hopes to promote her new dress collection.
But last week she admitted that she won’t be trying any of the local Italian cuisine, claiming she was allergic to pasta.
The star said: “It’s not that I avoid carbs, I’m allergic to pasta. It’s like my kryptonite. I feel like I can’t digest it properly and it makes me feel ill.”
And pals say that her strict attitude to food is causing tensions with David, who has become fed-up with her obsession about her weight. The source said: “David’s tired and bored with listening to Victoria’s insecurities. He wishes she’d just eat normally and not be so fussy.”
But despite her super-skinny frame, Victoria has embarked on a New Year’s fitness regime to tone her figure. A source told Closer that as she nears her 35th birthday in April, Victoria wants to tone her arms, bum and tummy.
They said: “Victoria is planning on modelling something new from her fashion range each day she is in Milan, so she wants her figure to be toned and in great shape.
“She’s paranoid about getting bingo wings and a saggy bum and thighs, so wants to tone these areas. She doesn’t want to lose weight, she just wants to get more muscle tone and achieve a smaller, tighter waist.”
And in order to tone up, Posh has started an exercise regime. “Victoria will be working out daily with a trainer in a private gym in Milan,” added the source.
“She wants to make sure that there are no lumps and bumps under her trademark dresses.”

There's no lumps and bumps...just skin and bone!
She might be allergic to pasta but there are other foods she could eat to keep her in shape and toned.
Looking at these pic's i'd say she has an eating disorder,or is just obsessed with looking as thin as she can.
If she's going to start training im affraid she's going to have to eat as well,you need the energy from food to be able to exercise daily,otherwise she will be knackered after 10 mins.
She wont have any muscle to tone if she dont start eating a sensible diet (carbs included)
You need to put food in to get results!
As long as she's burning off more calories than she eats,there shouldn't be a problem!

Surely she sees people around her who eat and look fine. I mean, David doesn't starve himself and he looks great [amazing in fact!] so surely she can see he eats sensibly, with some treats no doubt and he isn't fat or overweight or anything
I do think now though that she's gone so far with looking thin that if he did gain weight and go back to looking 'normal' the press would eat her up for it and then she'd get paranoid about gaining weight cos it would be all over the papers in the morning. She probably sees no way of going back now!
Poor thing

Yeh i agree. For someone who is married to a fit (in both sences) and toned sportsman you'd think she would know by now that you have to eat to get results.
Im sure David hasn't got his body through eating a lettice leaf and steamed fish everyday!
He wouldn't be able to run for a bus nevermind 45mins on a footy pitch.
She obviously dosn't eat a great deal,cos she was alot curvier in her spice girls days.

She looks emaciated. I personally like the waif look but she has taken it way to far now. I feel so sorry for her; she has three lovely sons, a gorgeous husband, loads of money yet seems unable to enjoy it and relax as she's so consumed with her weight obsession. Plus she doesn't get to enjoy food! It's one of life's greatest pleasures!
I agree with Jemma though that even if she was to gain weight she is probably nervous of doing so due to the huge press attention she would receive. It's a great shame as she was a lovely looking girl when she was younger and if she'd just been a bit smarter could have blossomed into a gorgeous yummy mummy but instead looks like skeletor!
The media's obsession with her weight has her trapped though. She won't live long like this anyway - she must be extremely malnourished and I saw an expert on the tv saying that at this rate she will die at about 50.

Her bones will make her have lumps and bumps - Posh, learn that curves are in!! I don't know about anyone else but I think men like to have a bum to grab! Do yourself a favour and pick up the fork!!!

I think she has to be anorexic. Apparantly she weighs less than my 11 yr old daughter who is right where she should be. Whenever she has put on a couple of pounds the press have actually been quite complimentary so this tells me she is just obsessed with being tiny. Maybe she thinks it keeps her looking like a little girl! She also needs to ditch the wiggy hair, it looks awful.

i dont think she's anorexic, she'd disciplined!! she cnt really win though, if she put on weight she'd be criticised& it would be all over the papers, plus she's now in the fashion world of models and designers of course she has to be thin. you cant have a fat fashion designer. once your in that world it goes to your head and it becomes an every day normality. I love victoria i wish people would leave her alone. she looks fab!! xx
