Victoria Beckham reveals her favourite meal is SALT and that restaurants are her 'worst nightmare'

She’s famously an advocate for ‘clean eating’ and has been known to swerve carbs and even drink vinegar in the name of health. 

And Victoria Beckham revealed on Wednesday that her favourite meal is salt on toast, while she also has a long term love for steamed vegetables. 

Speaking to Ruth Rogers on the River Café’s Table 4 podcast Posh Spice, 47, admitted she was ‘boring’ with food and that restaurants are her ‘worst nightmare’.

The former Spice Girl detailed how she prefers plain meals of whole grain toast with salt or steamed vegetables with balsamic vinegar.

She said: ‘This is where I sound even more boring in the food department. I like whole grain toast with salt on it. It’s that carbohydrate that makes you feel comforted and I love salt.’ 

‘To most restaurants I’m probably their worst nightmare. I love some steamed vegetables, some balsamic vinegar and then to season myself. I like things to be cooked in a very simple way. I don’t like oils or butters or sauces.’ 

Victoria added of her unusual diet: ‘Even Gordon Ramsay, a very good friend of ours, says he’s never seen anybody as disciplined about the way that they eat.’

Victoria – who has a famously svelte figure – previously insisted to Stella magazine that daily exercise is the same to her as ‘brushing her teeth’.

She said: ‘I work out every day – I see it like brushing your teeth, it’s just something you do. I normally do an uphill walk on the treadmill, followed by a Tracy Anderson routine.’

It comes after Victoria reportedly had a near brush with mercury poisoning last year due to her strict diet. 

The fashion designer discovered she had ‘off the scale’ levels of mercury during a getaway to a luxury spa in Germany. 

She was then forced to eat more salmon and cut down on her consumption of tuna and swordfish after the scare.

Mercury naturally builds up in fish, shellfish and animals that eat fish. Too much mercury exposure can damage the brain, heart, kidneys, lungs and immune system.

A source told The Sun: ‘Victoria had off the scale levels of mercury. So doctors gave her a liver flush to help rid the body of toxins.

‘She feels brilliant and is as lean and fit as ever.’
