Katherine Jenkins on how she’s ditched the diets but still stays fit – Telegraph.co.uk

Jenkins interest in nutrition was sparked by her close friend Polly Noble, a health coach who died from cervical cancer aged just 32. I became a vegetarian because of Polly, she explains. She went on a raw diet and I did it with her for solidarity. And I never went back to eating meat. Ive now become vegan. Just because I found that the mercury levels in the fish I was eating were quite high. And I became allergic to dairy. My nutritional intake is not about making me look good. It has always been more a focus on whats good for my body.

Her children still eat meat but she tries to find crossover meals like jackfruit fajitas which they can eat together. Andrew is a big meat eater. I am not. So we decided well give them meat until they were able to say they didnt want it. It can be their decision. She encourages her children to snack on raw fruit and vegetables. My parents never gave me things like fast food so I never craved that stuff, she explains.

Jenkins dabbled with diets in her early 20s but those anxious days are gone. Ive got a big appetite, she giggles. So I have big portions of three meals a day but I wont snack in between. On a typical day, she has porridge with honey and blueberries for breakfast, a salad with tofu and beans for lunch, and mushrooms with edamame pasta for dinner. My mum (Susan) made a lot of our meals from scratch and I think where possible that is the key. I appreciate that people are in a rush. We are too but its nice to do home cooking. Thats definitely something I remember my father (Selwyn) doing for us after school.

The singers coronavirus-delayed album Cinema Paradiso a tribute to her favourite movie songs, including Moon River and Singin in the Rain was released on July 3. She hopes it will have extra resonance after the surge of nostalgia during lockdown.

Weve all been into movies for escapism, comfort and entertainment and this album is really an extension of that, she says. Its all the wonderful musical moments of the films weve probably been watching. Weve been reminiscing over our favourites like Amadeus and Forrest Gump and showing the children the movies we loved like Pinocchio and Splash.
