She Will Not Eat it in the Air. She Will Not Eat it Anywhere

vVictoria Beckham

Food, that is.

Victoria “Bag of Antlers” Beckham even refuses the meals offered to her when she flies first class.

Victoria’s nutritionist Monica Grenfell said: “Victoria’s always been a teeny little thing. She seems into her diet in a big way. Whenever we chat, she always asks me what she should and shouldn’t be eating. She’s very Audrey Hepburn looking, slim and neat. She’s strict with herself.

“When she goes on business lunches she’ll choose white fish and she’ll often pick at things rather than have big sit down meals.

“When we talked about the 11-hour flight to Los Angeles, Victoria told me she’s not that keen on eating on the plane. She prefers to catch up on her sleep and reenergise.”

Anyone who’s ever been trapped on an airplane for that long knows there’s nothing to do but eat, pee, and watch horrible movies. It’s fun to attempt to sleep– it kills more time– but it’s ultimately futile. Regardless, not eating for 11 hours when perfectly potable food is offered to you is not “being strict with yourself,” it’s being sick.

  • Victoria’s nutritionist Monica Grenfell said: “Victoria’s always been a teeny little thing.”

    Yeah, ever since she started starving herself and working out for 5 hours a day…

  • I pass out before the plane even takes off and sleep the entire flight! The weird thing is, I fall asleep on planes easier than I do in a bed.

      • You guys are very lucky. The only time I’ve slept on a plane was flying business class from Tokyo to Vancouver and it was one of those new pod bed/layouts. And I was drunk.

        How do you do it? I hate flying and just can’t relax, is there a secret or technique? Gravol?

  • There is a big difference between eating healthy and being thin and being Posh Spice. She is thin because she starves herself not because she is a healthy person. No wonder her husband cheats on her with curvy real woman. He is sick of having sex with a stick figure who is miserable because she is starving. Maybe it is a good thing she does not have daughters. All posh would be doing is raising anorexics.

  • Yeah, I knew someone who was Victoria’s flight attendant on a British Airways flight to LA, and she actually did eat something – three grapes.

  • uh, question… why can’t she bring food she approves of on the plane?
    also, is ms. “reenergize” aware that, as human animals, we obtain our energy… from food?

    • Customes do not allow water and certain foods into the plane by a passanger.

      I’m suprised with how much Victoria flies, she still flies commerical!

      • You can still buy food at the airport after passing through customs. I can’t imagine what is considered approved food for her considering they have fruit and other healthy options on planes.

  • Yay Kelly!! You’re back!! Molls said you’d be gone this weekend, but good thing I checked! It’s good too see, er, hear, er… read you?

    Hahaha great title. Perhaps they should have served green eggs and ham on the plane.

  • My SIL ate only one meal a day for YEARS.
    A typical lunch was a can of diet coke.
    She’s always been a teeny, little thing.
    Now she’s in her 50’s and is experiencing all kinds of health problems because of it. And now her daughter is now doing the same thing.
    Oh well.

    • I think you are describing a tip of the iceburg, Bee Hind. Women who had eating disorders in their teens back in the ’70s and ’80s are getting up in years. The damage has been done. I thought being thin was worth any risk when I was a kid. Now I have “all kinds of health problems” as well. Low bone density. Neuropathy, which I am convinced is due to starving myself of vitamins in my growing years, is the worst. Terrible pain 24/7 and inability to walk well is my reward for being thin in my youth. Poor Posh…and the rest of those who have the terrible sickness of an ED…has no idea how she will suffer in her later years. No amount of money can fix these things. Sad thing is that there is absolutely no easy way to get these girls to quit. It is a compulsion.

  • I’ve flown business class tons of times (for work, I’m not rich) and the food can suck. Once, they were out of chicken and the vegetarian option so I had to eat lamb. I hate lamb. They were apologetic but the flight attendant did deserve the slap I gave her. Her beverage cart was stocked with enough Bombay Sapphire that I was able to sleep for most of the flight. I tried to have her fired, I hope it worked.

    No, but seriously, I’ve flown business class tons of times, you can request anything in advance. It doesn’t always come true but she can request a lo-cal meal. So she probably requested three grapes and that’s what they brought her. I’m full just thinking about it.

  • umm.. planes do not offer potable food. I’ve gone 11 hours without eating on flights. No one has ever starved to death in half a day.

  • As a flight attendant, I refuse to eat food on the plane. we all get fat in our first year. I gained 10 pounds. The food is filled with fat and salt bc your tastebuds somehow dont function as well in the air or so im told. So when we get the dinners and they are frozen we can see the layer of fat on top before we pop them in the oven. The first class meals taste pretty good, but if you are a frequent flyer you really should stay away from them. Bring your own food or order a vegetarian meal. Not that Anorexic Spice needs to stay away from fat. Just advice for the chubbies reading this!

  • Basikbox is a great way to eat healthy food on the go. You make your own meal for one (the online planner helps you to know what to put into the different containers). It’s perfect for portion control, too. Check it out basikbox.com.
