Celebrity Diet Secrets: Jennifer Ellison
Monday 19 January 2009
Actress Jennifer Ellison, 25, tells us what’s in her fridge
Where do you shop for food?
Marks & Spencer – I love the quality and variety. I also go to my local butcher.
How much do you spend on a food shop?
About £200 a week.
What is your typical daily diet?
For breakfast I like cereal – but sugary ones are my downfall! I love Ricicles and Honey Nut Loops. For lunch I like to have a Niçoise salad. I always cook fresh food for dinner, and use organic ingredients when I can.
What’s your top diet tip?
Cut out fatty bacon and red meat and swap for lean meats like chicken and turkey.
If you could take three foods to a desert island, what would they be?
Pink champagne, a home-made roast and chocolate-coated strawberries.
What would you cook to impress a man?
I’d cook my home-made garlic prawns, then a curry – or steak and chunky chips. For dessert I’d make tarte tatin or sticky toffee pudding!
What do you like to drink?
Water or orange juice. If I’m out, I’ll have Laurent Perrier pink champagne or a glass of Sauvignon Blanc white wine.
Nutritionist Catherine Matthews says:
“It’s great that Jennifer likes to cook from scratch – this really puts her in control of what she eats. But there are a couple of concerns – her sugar intake could go through the roof thanks to her choice of cereal. She should also bear in mind that poultry with skin can be as high in fat as some cuts of red meat, so it isn’t automatically a healthier choice.”
Fridge health rating: 7/10
