Could you eat nothing but grilled fish and steamed vegetables every day for the rest of your life? If you did, you’d be following the exact Victoria Beckham diet.
VB’s husband David Beckham (you may have heard of him?) shared on the River Cafe Table 4 podcast that he’s rarely seen his wife eat anything else since he met her 25 years ago.
“She only eats grilled fish, steamed vegetables; she will very rarely deviate from that,” he said in the episode, which aired on 1 February.
“The only time she’s probably ever shared something that’s been on my plate was actually when she was pregnant with Harper, and it was the most amazing thing… It was one of my favourite evenings. I can’t remember what it was but I know she’s not eaten it since!”
Victoria speaks about her diet
Think it sounds a little far-fetched? Victoria shared the same sentiments on the very same podcast just a few months earlier.
In her interview, she admitted to being a very fussy eater. “I like things to be cooked in a very simple way. I don’t like oils or butters or sauces,” she told host and chef Ruth Rogers.
“To most restaurants, I’m probably their worst nightmare. I love some steamed vegetables, some balsamic vinegar, and then to season myself.”
The former Spice Girl also shared that she hasn’t eaten red meat since childhood. And as for the ‘comfort food’ of choice in the Victoria Beckham diet? Salt on toast.
“I like whole grain toast with salt on it. It’s that carbohydrate that makes you feel comforted and I love salt,” she explained, adding that she’s also a savoury as opposed to a sweet person.
And really, can you lean any more towards savoury when your favourite food is salt?
Previously, it’s also been reported that Victoria is a fan of the Alkaline diet. It’s based on consuming 70 per cent alkaline foods and 30 per cent acidic foods, to help the body reach its ‘optimal pH balance’.

What do you think of Victoria Beckham’s diet? What’s your comfort food?
she doesn’t look like she eats at all!
I don’t like seafood, so there’s no way I would do this diet
That’s so funny that it was his very favourite evening because she ate something off his plate! ; ) Cute!
No wonder she is so thin. I always thought she had a personal chef. Shouldn’t she be eating fruit as well.
haha…i’m same. Eating loads of fruit daily since birth, now last 11 years even more, way more. Every day. No fail. =D
Swap the fish for pizza and I could get on board with this diet. 😀
Same thing every day for how many years????
I only eat grilled fish but not every day….I would get sick of it. She always looks way too thin but but give me other foods to eat also. It would be too boring having that same meal every day.
I love grilled fish and veggies but I need variety in my diet, I’d get so bored eating the same thing everyday but saying that i have been having the same breakfast for years.
Her comfort food of choice is salt on toast… No thanks!
She probably doesn’t have salt though
I load up on the fish and veggies myself but gosh a bit of a variety is good for gut health and mental health too. Not just the same ol everyday.
So boring. I saw my GP yesterday about weight gain. He said you were skeletal before. Imagine why Vic’s doctors would say? She will be a candidate for osteoporosis.
I am actually surprised she conceived four children. How can she menstruate being that thin? I’ve been there done that. The thin thing and you don’t get periods.
Typical of Posh taking to the extreme .I believe a little of everything is more healthy than a diet consisting of the same food every day for ever.
That doesn’t seem healthy at all!
How can you even enjoy life like that? Sounds miserable
So that’s how she stays so thin. Not much of an existance with no variety in food. To each their own.
I couldn’t eat the same thing every day! & salt on toast? OMG!
My comfort food has got to be something sweet: choccy, lollies, &c.
How was she even a “Spice” Girl? This was a sad read but if she’s happy, whatever. I could never do it. I need flavour.
How boring! I like grilled fish but I have it with salad. I couldn’t even eat the same meal every day for a week let alone 25 years.
I’m not a fan of fish, but maybe it would be good, I need to lose lots of Kgs just to be healthier. That diet would do it. Breakfast is ???
momo
wow.. that is really tough, she is missing out on some really good food. I wouldn’t be able to handle only eating fish, because it sometimes makes me sick. I wonder what she has for breakfast.
It sounds very bland and repetitive, and a bit sad that she can’t share a favourite meal with her husband.
It sounds very boring and unadventurous; she’s missing out on so much pleasure in life
A rather boring diet but if she enjoys it that’s all that matters. Some people wouldn’t like my diet either🤣
Salt and toast? Very strange! Also I wonder how she gets all her nutrients.
Ha ha!!! I’m much the same as her…. I find what I like and stick to it like glue…
She just doesn’t look healthy – I can’t imagine living her life.
as long as she is happy lol
Whole grain toast with salt on it.Very strange diet.
Not my idea of a comfort food… But I can understand eating the same thing. I occasionally get into a rut like that, specially when I’m busy and don’t have a lot of energy to focus on food. Saves making decisions.
Not for me I like variety
Her monotonous diet explains why I’ve never seen a photo of her smiling.
I’d find it boring eating the same everyday, but if that is what she enjoys it would at least make meal planning easy, lol
She does not like food. I could not eat the same thing over and over. I love flavour so much.
Reminds me of Jennifer Aniston and Courtney Cox eating the same salad for over a decade
I couldnt eat fish, but I would get bored of the same meal daily I think.
Her comfort food is salt on toast? Huh? How is that comforting?
Come to think of it, there was a long period where I kept having the same thing over and over for lunch: grilled fish and salad.
She is very disciplined, however, eating the same thing over and over again is not the best for gut health. I would get bored.
It sounds pretty boring 🙁
Salt on toast? No thanks.
Never cared about what celebrities eat tbh. Enough of these silly content
I’d never be able to eat the same thing every day
