Nigella Lawson’s husband Charles Saatchi has managed to lose an impressive four stone in nine months by spurning his wife’s culinary temptations...and eating nothing but eggs instead.
In an exclusive interview with The Mail on Sunday’s You Magazine today, 48-year-old Ms Lawson says her husband’s ‘completely mad eggs, eggs and more eggs diet’ now means that he is thinner than her.
Her husband preferred to opt out of thinking about food, sticking to plain boiled or scrambled eggs.
‘For nine months, he ate three eggs for breakfast, three eggs for lunch and three eggs for supper,’ she reveals. ‘The doctor said to me, “It’s neck-and-neck whether Charles keels over or loses the weight first.” But it was easier for him than engaging in the whole business of food.
'One of the advantages of being with someone who likes how you are is that you don’t have to look through your own hypercritical gaze. If I go to America and I haven’t got Charles to say “You look lovely” before I go out, I suddenly want to be a Size Two.’
Mr Saatchi has reportedly said of his diet: ‘The discomfort and humiliations of being obese finally won. I am still not much to look at, but I have become cringingly vain and hold the world record for the highest level of cholesterol ever seen in anyone still with a pulse.’
A study published last month in the International Journal of Obesity showed women eating two eggs at breakfast lost 65 per cent more weight than women who ate a similar breakfast without eggs.
