Many of us often wonder how celebrities manage to stay so thin when they are constantly posting pictures of the cakes and other desserts that enjoyed. We wonder is this how they really eat? If so, how do they do it and still look so good? The reality of what Chrissy Teigen really eats left us amazed!

This Is What Model Chrissy Teigen Really Eats:

The Sports Illustrated model, wife to John Legend, new mom, and co-host of Spike TV’s “Lip Sync Battle” is also an avid cook. She runs a food blog called Delushious and released her first cookbook Cravings earlier this year. But in the public food landscape, perhaps she’s best known on Instagram, where she’s sharing images of indulgent food creations.

I recently sat down with Chrissy for some real talk about how she cooks and eats, and the one word I’d use to describe her is just that. Real.

MR: Obviously, you’re busy with Luna—but do you still find time to cook regularly?

CT: That was a big fear of mine. I was cooking more at 9 months—just waiting for her to come—than ever. A couple days after baby, I looked at John and said, “Do you think I’m still going to have this energy and passion for it?” And then all it took was a week or so, and I jumped right back into it. And now it’s a really nice chance to get off my butt… literally. I’m with her all day, on the couch, nursing, so it’s nice to be able to put her down at 7 pm and then start cooking.

MR: How have you adapted your cooking strategy to save time?

CT: When I started cooking right after the baby, I was going through my cookbook looking at all my own recipes and thinking “Oh my gosh, I can’t believe I actually begged people to take the time to fry their own tortilla strips for the Chinese Chicken Salad.” Like you definitely look for any quick way you can to jazz things up.

Sure, the indulgent and outrageous pictures Chrissy posts are an organic part of her food world, but they’re not all of it. Her relationship with food is characterized by a playful spirit and over-the-top fun, but it’s also grounded by balanced choices and practicality.

MR: Clearly, the decadent foods you get attention for online can’t be the only things you’re eating—how do you find dietary balance?

CT: I think everyone has his or her own special body type. The reason I never talk about diets is because what works for me isn’t necessarily going to work for everybody. So I’ve always been hesitant to talk about it.

John and I always try to eat kind of low carb. We eat a lot of protein and a lot of vegetables. And if we want a pasta, than we’re going to share a pasta. It’s really about the little decisions you make that you know work for your body type. And, of course, there are always going to be decadent times where you’re going to be like, “I can’t believe I ate that.” You want to be able to indulge and enjoy life and enjoy flavors. I’ve never been a salad girl, really.
