Apparently the Queen is low carb!

[NoCrbs4Me]

Mr McGrady described the Queen as 'disciplined' and said she has a 'no starch' rule - shunning 'potatoes, rice or pasta for dinner':

It's not a surprise.

I think most of the super-rich and celebs have known about the damage from eating **** food for decades.

Just the Daily Mail and it's (very) selective reporting again.


You're right about the **** food, only the best I should expect, but it looks more like a decent, balanced diet of good fresh foods, with the carbs still well represented though I'm afraid.

For the facts, it's probably worth reading a selection of the reports.

peaches,
tuna sandwiches
cereal – usually Special K
chocolate perfection pie or chocolate biscuit cake
chocolate ganache sponge cake
buttered bread with jam

The 89-year-old monarch has a sweet tooth and loves chocolates and puddings

Any decent stuff about it in the Canadian papers?
In the UK we know to take the Daily Mail with a good low carb pinch of salt.

Only the best for them lot

Oh wouldn't low carbing be easy if we had servants to prepare everything. I know she has to attend a lot of functions which involve eating but I bet she gets to approve (or disapprove) of the menu beforehand. I could handle that

"“The royal table hasn’t changed much at all in 63 years,” a bit like the Royal Hairstyle then

Royalty eat very little processed food as you might expect.
Prince Charles eats salmon and eggs for breakfast - no lunch and a good dinner.
I tend to follow that as he has access to the best advice available and I can't offhand think of any overweight Royal ...

Walking, shooting, fishing, armed forces, standing all day shaking hands, respect to them for being active, and leading from the front.
Whatever they eat, the job burns it off.

If you look on www.royalwarrant.org it lists all the purveyors to Her Maj, Phillip and Charlie. The search engine isn't great, 'Food and Drink' will list some things and you'll find more with 'Grocery' for example.

Amongst companies purveying, you'll find Waitrose, Boots, Fortnum and Mason, Cadbury's, Musks, Prestat, Charbonnel et Walker, Bendick's, Nestle, Dairy Crest, Dukeshill Ham etc etc. Everything from the Royal Train caterers to local butchers near Balmoral. If they have websites they are usually included.
