Victoria Beckham is finally clarifying long-standing rumors about her strict diet

Victoria Beckham has opened up about long-standing rumors about her strict eating habits.

Speaking to The Telegraph, the Spice Girl alum shared the rare details of her strict diet, after her husband, David Beckham, previously revealed she’s been eating the same thing for 25 years.

“I probably looked strict in a lot of photos, but I felt so uncomfortable,” she told the publication.

The mother-of-four added: “It was because of my skin that I became very careful about what I ate.”

Victoria revealed that she ate cassava, adding that she chose to do so in her 20s because she was self-conscious about her acne.

She gave up meat completely when she was eight years old and then eliminated wheat from her diet to improve her skin.

Speaking to the River Café Table 4 podcast, the former England football team captain joked that Victoria has only been eating “grilled fish and steamed vegetables” since he met her.

Victoria also said she cooked when the family lived in Spain after David signed for Real Madrid in 2003.

“By not taking on anything, I really don’t think I can do it,” she admitted.

“Oh, and by not cooking… Harper says I can burn water, so it’s probably better for everyone if I don’t,” she joked.

Note that Victoria also shares Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz and Harper with David Beckham.
