Celebrity Diet Secrets: Kelli Young
Tuesday 26 May 2009
Former Liberty X singer Kelli Young, 26, tells us what’s in her fridge
Where do you shop?
Tesco, because it’s close and I collect Clubcard points!
How much do you spend on a shop?
I live with my boyfriend, songwriter Iain James, 29, and spend about £60-£70 a week – we like our food!
What’s your typical daily diet?
Today I had a cup of tea and pain au chocolat for breakfast, then I had pasta at Carluccio’s for lunch, a cup of tea in the afternoon and later on I will have soup. I tend to crave snacks in the evening and normally reach for some chocolate after dinner, or a Skinny Cow hot chocolate if I’m being good!
What’s your favourite comfort food?
Chocolate all the way – especially Creme Eggs and Mini Eggs. I’m really trying to cut down because diabetes runs in my family, but it’s definitely my weakness.
What do you like to drink?
I’m a big tea drinker, but I have it black. I like fruit juices, and Malibu and Coke when I’m out.
Kelli is fronting the Skinny Cow Hot Chocolate pals panel.
Nutritionist Catherine Matthews says:
“Kelli’s a big fan of foods that contain added sugar. Excess sugar intake is a risk factor for type 2 diabetes and with a family history of the condition, it’s important that Kelli limits her intake. Snacking is OK between meals, but unhealthy snacks will play havoc with her blood sugars. She should swap the chocolate for fruit and veg and she’ll feel healthier.”
