Pippa Middleton diet – What does Pippa eat to stay so slender?
Although the mother-of-one hasn’t spoken about the specific diet she has been following in recent years, she has touched on her approach to clean eating in the past.
“I try to eat whole-grain, energy-fuelled carbohydrates and three meals a day,” she previously told a publication.
“I always have breakfast. I can’t start the day properly without it,” she said. “My usual breakfast is either plain yogurt with chopped fruit and toasted seeds, oats, and nuts or toasted rye bread with eggs or avocado.”
However, when she’s training for an event or marathon, Middleton amps things up. “I also increase my portion sizes based on my training level, with lots of brown rice, lentils, quinoa, and sweet potato, and for breakfast, porridge and rye toast.”
If Pippa is getting ready for an even or special occasion she revealed she cuts out a number of things to get into shape.
She said: “A week or so before an event, I cut out alcohol, refined sugar, and processed foods.”
