I’m not really sure why Jennifer Aniston’s go-to media outlet these days is Yahoo, but she’s given like five interviews to Yahoo in the past year. For no real reason too. I think she’s friends with some of the editors and journalists over there, and she uses Yahoo to chat about her endorsement deals, hair, water, etc. So, Aniston gave a new interview to Yahoo Food about her diet, what’s in her refrigerator, and how she hates caviar. Some highlights:
Her everyday diet: “I don’t let eating habits get out of control where I need a reset button. My general philosophy is to eat healthy. It’s pretty clear: eat as much organic fruits and veggies as you can, keep sugar [intake] low, drink tons and tons of water, and get good sleep. I allow myself to indulge once in a while. I’m good at keeping my starches to a minimum. I don’t like ‘white’ foods, and I’ll always cut back on some breads if I’m trying to slim down for something special. But I don’t give myself any rules anymore.”
What she keeps in her fridge: “I always have cut raw vegetables in a Tupperware container. Hard-boiled eggs are always great to have in the fridge, as well as a big head of butter lettuce. I also include protein, such as pulled chicken.”
What she’ll never have in her fridge: “Beets are not in our refrigerator, I’m not a fan. And you won’t find caviar. Nope, you can’t acquire that taste no matter how many people say that. It’s just a s***** taste.”
She & Justin Theroux mix it up in the kitchen: “Justin and I both love to tinker in the kitchen. We make a pasta carbonara that’s so easy. We have eggs from our chickens, and then we make it ‘skinny style’ where we use turkey bacon instead of real bacon, eggs, and parmesan. No oil, butter or creams. And we use pasta water to make it juicier. Justin’s great at making breakfast. He makes a great huevos rancheros, which I’m fortunate to be at the end off.”
She’s tried fad diets: “Sure, the Grapefruit Diet. I think there was a watermelon one, and if you just think about it for two seconds, if anyone just lives on watermelon, you’re going to lose weight. But the taco one I’m riveted by… I can see that being something. I did do Nutri-System, like, 20 years ago, that actually worked. It just happens to be astronaut food, but it still worked.”
I’m not a fan of beets or anything beet-flavored either, so I’m sort of with Aniston on that one. Caviar is an acquired taste for a lot of people, but I’ve never really seen the point. As for the rest of it… my biggest problem is that I don’t believe Jennifer and Justin really mix it up in the kitchen all that much. I’m almost positive that she has a full-time private chef, and I’m sure he organizes her refrigerator and cooks all of her meals.
She also talks about hosting a Golden Globes viewing party, which is kind of sad especially considering what she was doing last year, which was spending a million dollars to hustle up an Oscar nomination that didn’t come through. And at the very end of the interview, I finally “got” why she was chatting with Yahoo: SmartWater has released a new “sparkling water” and that’s what she was shilling.
