Is the I’m A Celebrity jungle diet safe? Doctor lifts lid on eating rice and beans – Daily Star

Diet Comments Off on Is the I’m A Celebrity jungle diet safe? Doctor lifts lid on eating rice and beans – Daily Star

Im A Celebrity 2019 kicked off on Sunday, and the group of celebs are already struggling with jungle life.

One of the main aspects of worry for the celebrities is getting enough food.

Last year, the celebs in camp reportedly lost a whopping four stone in just one week.

On a day-to-day basis the stars live on off basic rations of rice and beans.

In the first episode, Good Morning Britains Kate Garraway held up the bag of beans, demonstrating how much a person gets for 24 hours.

In addition, the Im A Celebrity 2019 line up also get a bag of beans each to tide them over.

If the celebs manage to earn enough stars in the Bushtucker Trials, they can also win some meat and vegetables but this isnt always the case.

Celebs have already started complaining about being hungry, with England rugby player James Haskell saying: Portion sizes are a huge worry for me. I actually know my daily calorie intake, so Im on 4,000 calories a day.

And this is a farce. Im going to fade away. Into nothingness.

We asked leading dually qualified doctor and dentist Dr Martin Kinsella if the jungle diet is safe.

Dr Kinsella, who runs face and body aesthetics clinic Re-enhance, told Daily Star Online the short period the celebs are on the show should not be a problem.

He even thinks short periods of low calorie intake can be good for your gut health.

The doctor elaborated: While it is important over a long term period to have a balanced diet, and not eradicate many food types, short periods of a few weeks of calorie and food restriction are really good to help improve gut health, improve insulin sensitivity and reduce body fat.

Most essential nutrients can be generally obtained through pulses and beans etc.

However, for those who might be thinking of trying out the Im A Celebrity jungle diet at home, he has some words of warning.

Dr Kinsella, who is to one of the Real Housewives of Chesire, Hanna Miraftab, said: It's becoming more and more popular to lean towards a plant-based diet but I wouldn't recommend a diet based solely on pulses and beans as it will get boring.

However winter time is a great time of year to experiment with heart warming thick soups made with pulses beans and lots of nutrient rich veg.

So if you do want to try out the jungle diet, Dr Kinsella recommends to take the essence of what you see them eat, but add in lots of other vegetables and nuts.

He also recommends to try to keep it interesting.

But there are other ways to achieve quick fix weight loss.

He explained: There are a lot of tried and tested quick fix weight loss diets that encourage less sugar, carbs and bad fats and I would much prefer my patients tried those instead of shakes.

Keep in mind, the NHS recommends men to consume 2,500 calories, and women 2,000, to maintain a healthy body weight.

As well as Re-enhance, Dr Kinsella also runs a clinic in Yorkshire, London and Majorca, with regular visits to Cornwall.

He can also be found on the 5th floor at Urban Retreat at Harrods in London, where he was invited to become one of the elite doctors.

I'm A Celebrity 2019 returns tonight on ITV at 9pm.
