Red hot: Nigella's svelte new figure
It can't be easy going on a diet when you are married to a domestic goddess.
But 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.
But Mr Saatchi’s bizarre diet is not recommended by nutritionists, who say the side effects could include bad breath, constipation and ‘other gut problems’.
The egg-based options in Nigella’s cookery books include Spanish omelette, Mexican scrambled eggs and even green eggs and ham.
But her husband preferred to opt out of thinking about food, sticking to plain boiled or scrambled.
‘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.
