On May 28, Victoria Beckham shared with her Instagram fans a photo of herself on the cover of Grazia magazine. 

In the photo, the mother of four shows off her toned body while wearing a lace bra underneath a black blazer. 

She poses with her hands in her pockets, her head tilted up and her eyes looking straight into the camera with confidence and pride.

However, in the accompanying interview, the former Spice Girls member admitted that she was so insecure about her body that she couldn’t focus on her family.

“I never want to sound like I’m complaining, but there were times when I didn’t feel confident enough to sit on the beach and watch my kids play. 

I remember after having Brooklyn, my first appearance was on the front page of the newspaper, with arrows pointing to where I needed to lose weight. 

Those things can affect how you feel and behave in public,” she shared.

However, according to Ms. Beck, at the present time, if the paparazzi want to take pictures and say something bad about her body, she no longer feels bothered.

In response to the reporter’s question about why she is still so neat and perfect every time she appears in public if she doesn’t care about other people’s judgment, Victoria explained: “I am very disciplined in the way I eat, exercise and be a person. That’s who I am. But I like to drink wine and I will not become one of those people who are like ‘Oh, there are too many calories in a glass of wine’. Life is too short. Let’s have a good time.”

The sharing may not seem like a big deal, but for Victoria Beckham, it is a big step forward in thinking related to appearance and dieting. Previously, she was famous for her strict eating habits that made her husband, David Beckham, uncomfortable.

Annoying eating habits

In early 2022, the former footballer revealed on the River Cafe Table 4 podcast: “I’m quite passionate about food and wine. When I eat something great, I want people to try it. Unfortunately, I’ve been married to someone who has only eaten one thing for the last 25 years. Since I met Victoria, all she’s eaten is grilled fish with steamed vegetables. She’ll very rarely deviate from that. The only time she’s eaten anything on my plate was when she was pregnant with Harper. It was the best. It was one of my favourite nights out. I can’t remember what it was, but I know she hasn’t had it since.”

In July 2022, Victoria hit back at her husband in Vogue Australia. She said David’s comments made her eating habits sound boring but were actually more varied.

“What he meant was that he’s never met anyone who’s more disciplined about eating. I eat a lot of healthy fats like fish, avocados, nuts and things like that. I drink alcohol unless I have a reason not to. I’ll detox for three to six months and not drink alcohol. I’m pretty extreme about everything I do, whether it’s eating, exercising, drinking or not drinking alcohol,” the British designer said.

It’s not just Beckham, the friends around the couple also don’t accept Victoria’s diet. One of them is former England footballer Rio Ferdinand. He is a friend of David’s, played with him at the World Cup and sometimes dined with the famous couple during training.

In a chat on the Australian radio show Kyle and Jackie O, presenter Jackie ‘O’ Henderson admitted to being obsessed with Victoria’s diet. Rio replied: “I’ve never seen her eat anything. Honestly, I don’t remember anything that’s left in my memory.”

World-famous chef Gordon Ramsay also mentioned the issue in 2011, when Victoria was pregnant with daughter Harper Seven. Mr Ramsay said that pregnancy caused Victoria to deviate from her strict diet, but compared to most other women, she was still very disciplined.

The Hell’s Kitchen boss recalled that Victoria ordered a smoked salmon salad. The dish is usually served with grapefruit, avocado, shallots and lemon on the menu, but Victoria asked for those to be removed.

Another celebrity chef, Dani Garcia, was not happy when Victoria asked for a change to the dinner menu at the wedding of footballer Sergio Ramos in June 2019.

“It was very strange. Victoria Beckham changed the whole menu. It was very sad because when you do that, not only me, my team, but the bride, the groom and everyone else had to spend extra time to come up with a single menu. Her menu was completely different and mainly vegetables. Then there was something strange that I have never seen in my life. She always brought coconut water, a bowl of mint and hydroalcoholic gel (hand gel) – which is very famous now but not at that time because of the COVID pandemic. It was complicated to give Victoria the menu that night,” Garcia told Spanish television.

A restaurant’s worst nightmare

Victoria’s “weird” eating habits have been the subject of scrutiny for years. At Euro 2004, the 1974-born beauty was said to have only eaten strawberries and water.

On the River Cafés Table 4 podcast, Victoria described herself as most restaurants’ “worst nightmare”.

“I like some steamed vegetables, a little balsamic vinegar and then seasoning myself. I like things very simply. I don’t like oil, butter or sauces. This is why I’m boring in the food industry,” said David Beckham’s wife.

Victoria also confessed that her favorite food is a piece of wholegrain toast with salt sprinkled on it. On her 44th birthday, she celebrated with a fruit cake, more specifically a watermelon carved into the shape of a cake, decorated with strawberries and blueberries.

Later, when she became a mother, Victoria shared that her favorite snack is healthy nuts. She also often makes them for her children. She also shared a photo of her homemade snack, captioning it: “Organic aminos. Baked until crispy. After school snack. Good for mum too.”

In 2019, Victoria revealed that she eats three to four avocados a day, believing they help keep her skin healthy. She also swaps traditional spaghetti for courgettes and herbs.

During the COVID-19 lockdown, Harper Seven helped her mother prepare a meal of salmon, prawns, peas, cucumbers, avocado and broccoli. Red meat and dairy were not on Victoria’s menu. Or when she posted a photo of her meal with her son Romeo, she ate salmon and avocado while her younger son enjoyed a delicious-looking ham pizza.

In 2022, to celebrate her first day on TikTok, Victoria recorded a video about a fancy meal. In it, she sat at a white table and a waiter brought her a covered plate of food. When she opened it, it was grilled fish and steamed vegetables.

Victoria’s breakfast is even simpler. “Every morning, the first thing I do is drink three spoons of apple cider vinegar, followed by a cup of hot water, lemon and various types of coffee,” she told Net-A-Porter.
