10 Celebs Who DGAF About Diets (And Healthy Eating)
When you’re a celebrity, looking ridiculously fit is part of the gig, which is why we regularly hear stars publicly drone on about how much they absolutely love eating broiled salmon, quinoa, and raw spinach for dinner every night of the week.
But! For every kale-obsessed A-lister, there’s another famous person willing to get real and not even pretend they enjoy crazy-restrictive diets—and props to them for being honest. Here, 10 awesome celebrity women who are quick to admit eating burgers, pizza, or red velvet cupcakes is just part of life—and they’re fine with that.
Gigi Hadid
Gigi’s said that she fully grasps the concept of balance, but isn’t afraid to let go. “I’m all for one month of going really hard and eating really healthy and boxing every day if you’re doing it for one job, but I’ve always said, ‘Eat clean to stay fit, have a burger to stay sane,” she told E! News.
Chrissy Teigen
The supermodel wants us all to remember that “diet” is a four-letter word. “I’ve always had an issue with the word ‘diet,’” she wrote on Twitter. “I like ‘eating light’ or clean eating…I dunno why!” Plus, the proud bacon-lover reminds us all that there’s always room for junk food. “I feel like even potato chips can be considered clean. Olive oil and sea salt, baked? No? Oh well,” she added.
Olivia Wilde
Don’t try to get Olivia to eat gluten-free anything. “Fear of carbs, of gluten, of everything — we’ve distanced ourselves from the beauty of food, the art of it,” she told Allure. “It makes me sad when people say, ‘Oh, I don’t eat gluten. I don’t eat cheese. I don’t eat this. So I eat cardboard.'”
Gabrielle Union
While Gabrielle admits to eating lean cuts of meat and fish and at least two servings of leafy greens a day, she also says she doesn’t deprive herself. “What good is it to be emaciated if your stomach’s always growling?” she tells Us Weekly. “That sucks. Have a burger!”
Zoe Saldana
Zoe’s MO: Eat well now, so you don’t have to later. “There’s a serenity to knowing that because four days out of the week you took care of yourself relatively well, you can really just close your eyes and enjoy the pizza or dim sum or fish and chips,” she told Bon Appetit. She also declared on Facebook in 2015 that she’s “going to remove the word ‘diet’ from my life.”
Ashley Graham
The body-positive supermodel tells ET that she strives to eat well, but she makes sure to make time for the foods she really loves. That’s why she has a “French fry, hamburger night” every once in a while.
Jennifer Lawrence
Jen wrote the foreword for her trainer and friend Dalton Wong’s book, The Feelgood Plan, where she declares her love for junk food, like mac and cheese and burgers. “I could never live on a ‘diet,’” she said.
Emma Stone
Emma’s all about going for it when it comes to food. “You’re a human being, you live once and life is wonderful, so eat the damn red velvet cupcake,” she once told us.
Hilary Duff
Hilary has found the perfect solution for having it all when it comes to food: Just take small bites. “Balance makes me feel good: I feel most healthy when I enjoy small bites of the things I love,” she told Health.com. “I used to feel bad about eating French fries—I’d think that I had blown my diet. But you have to think, ‘That’s OK, I’ll eat healthier tomorrow.’”
Pink
Pink told trolls to back off after they mocked her curvier red carpet look in April 2015. So, she told them off while declaring her love for dessert. “I am perfectly fine, perfectly happy, and my healthy, voluptuous, and crazy-strong body is having some much deserved time off,” she wrote on Twitter. “Thanks for your concern. Love, cheesecake.”
