There are certain parts of the newspaper that people automatically gravitate towards. For my husband it’s the sports pages (slightly stereotypical but alas it’s true). For my friend Ella it’s the fashion pages, for my mother it’s the weather, my sister the crosswords , for my other friend Fran it’s the “hatch, match and dispatch” (births, marriages and deaths) but for me it’s the bits of the paper that give me the most insight into how other people live.
It's for this reason that I adore My Day on a Plate in the Sunday Life. My Day on a Plate lists the food that a well known celebrity, sports personality or entertainer has eaten in a typical day. Dr Joanna McMillan then critiques the food choices of the author and tells them how they could have improved – or what was really good.
I know that celebrities that share their food diaries may be prone to some exaggeration but still it’s interesting and you can take what you read with a grain of salt (although Dr McMillan cautions against too much salt).
But yesterday’s My Day on a Plate was too brilliant (read: weird) to even try and digest. Have a look at what Pete Evans chef and Weight Watchers ambassador says he eats in a day
7am – Two glasses of alkalized water with apple cider vinegar, then a smoothie of blended alkalized water, organic spirulina, activated almonds, maca, blueberries, stevia, coconut kefir and two organic, free-range eggs.
