Kate Beckinsale Talks about Her Body, Diet and Workout
In case you were ever wondering “What does Kate Beckinsale do to look that good?”, yet you weren’t interested to read the same old high in protein / low in carbs, generic diet that tabloids claim all celebrities with skinny bodies follow, here are Kate’s own words about what she does to look like her fit and fab self:
Kate Beckinsale admits she isn’t always confident about her body. “I’m entirely normal. I have my good days and my bad days,” she tells the December issue of British Elle. “I am a lot more body confident now I’m in my 30s and am in better shape, too.” When she was in her 20s, she says she “didn’t have a clue” about healthy eating. “I’d eat a small breakfast and lunch and then have a baked potato for dinner and feel really horrible,” she says. “Now my typical daily diet is eggs or oatmeal for breakfast, a chicken or vegetable wrap for lunch, then fish and vegetables for dinner.
“But if someone turns up with cupcakes mid-afternoon, I’ll have one,” she continues. “I’m not aiming to be Gisele. And I’d hate to be one of those people who won’t allow themselves a slice of birthday cake.” She says she is “amazed that people obsess over my body image so much. Why do we encourage this war on women’s bodies? It’s a horrendous way to live, and I refuse to.” Going to the gym can be tough, she admits.
“I just can’t make it part of my daily life,” says the star. “I go to the gym when I have to, and if I have to bulk up or slim down for a film, I will. “I’ve recently got back into exercising four times a week. I run for half an hour at a time but never outdoors, as I don’t exercise in public,” she says. “My gym’s in my garage at home.”

She looks wonderful!! She sounds like a normal woman…Love you, Kate!!
She is just as beautiful on the outside as she is on the inside… she is amazing!
I think Kate is beautiful, too and she’s got a great (tiny) body.
But oatmeal + chicken wrap + fish and veggies is about 140 + 320 + 220 + 80 = 760 calories per day — even if she has some cheese or light mayo.
While her food choices are very healthy, it’s no where near the 1600 calories per day a woman who exercizes should get (at minimum). Infact, she would be starving her body if she ate just that.
I’m not sure if she eats more than what she mentioned (it’s likely) but I just didn’t want readers to see this and think they should follow suit.
kate has a normal outlook on life- good for her!
