A Day in the Life of Star Chef Giada De Laurentiis

She Doesn’t Eat the Food She Cooks on the Show

Giada may be an excellent chef, but she also watches what she eats. She makes sure to avoid fattening foods and made fitness a huge part of her life. It’s clearly the reason why she’s been able to stay in excellent shape, despite being surrounded by food all the time.

Giada confessed that she keeps dark chocolate in her fridge (next to her teeth whitener) as well as in her handbags so that she can easily ease her cravings for something sweet. On the set of her show, she eats salads. Ironically, she rarely eats the type of food she cooks on her show.
