Audrey Hepburn's Secret Diet Revealed

- Hello Lovelies,
Today I will be discussing Audrey Hepburn's Diet. Audrey Hepburn is an icon. She was a gifted oscar-winning actress and philanthropist. She also inspired women with her signature and timeless style. She was also famous for her notoriously thin figure, which had been the subject of eating disorder accusations over the years. But as People reports in this week's cover story, these rumors were never true. Hepburn was never even partial to dieting. "She loved Italian food and pasta. She ate a lot of grains, not a lot of meat, and a little bit of everything," her son Luca Dotti said. Hepburn's longtime partner Robert Wolders noted that although the actress did not diet, the two enjoyed taking long walks together and often outwalk him. "She had a healthy metabolism, but she was not excessive," said Wolders, who began a relationship with Hepburn in 1980 that lasted until she died in 1993.
Hepburn's diet was healthy and straightforward. For breakfast, she and Wolders often had brown bread with jam; for lunch, lean meat or pasta with produce fresh from their garden; and for dinner, they had chicken soup with veggies. That's not to say Hepburn didn't indulge-her partner recalls, "she had chocolate after dinner, baking chocolate [and] she had a finger or two of Scotch at night." Plus, Hepburn was a fan of carbohydrates. "She was crazy about the pasta," younger son Dotti recalls in a previous People interview. In his book, Audrey at Home, Dotti wrote, "Mum had a serious pasta addiction. She couldn't do without pasta."Her signature dish was spaghetti al Pomodoro, which she cooked at home practically every week. "Her absolute favorite was spaghetti with tomato sauce. She could live on that alone," Dotti said. Although she had instructions for "impressive and ambitious dishes ... these never made their way to our dining table. In the kitchen, as in life," writes Dotti in the book's introduction, "my mother gradually freed herself from everything superfluous to keep only what truly mattered to her."
This included good, fresh food, and what Hepburn liked to cook and eat was a reflection of her experiences, preferences, and life. She embraced her role as a housewife, a mother, a wife, once saying, "It's sad if people think that's a dull existence, but you can't just buy an apartment and furnish it and walk away. It's the flowers you choose, the music you play, the smile you have waiting for. I want it to be gay and cheerful, a haven in this troubled world."

You should do a video on Rita Moreno from West Side Story. :)
Her portions were small, so she could eat what ever she wanted
She ate very small amounts of food.
@@sherrydrake4973 Right. Odd how women who claim to eat whatever they want usually don't want very much!
@@carolkir Yeah, I have a friend who will eat only a small amount of a food even if she genuinely loves it, she just has a naturally small appetite. Predictably, she's quite slim! For her, she really does eat as much as she wants, meanwhile I want to gobble up food like a hippo...!
My all time favorite actress who truly was so elegant and poised and beautiful
Couldn’t agree more! I watched Charade yesterday night ❤️😩
Beautiful inside and out. So sad that she died far too young.
I read her biography from a book I found at the library. Her mother was aristocratic and during the occupation of Holland, she almost died of starvation. She was also an accomplished ballet dancer and spoke about 6 languages. She didn't have much luck with husbands but her last companion took care of her till the end
My name is Audrey Hepburn
Chocolate is high in magnesium (body relaxer) and boosts oxytocin (warm & fuzzy hormone) so women especially love chocolate. Bittersweet chocolate is lower in sugar, baker's chocolate has no sugar.
I adore Audrey and read in one book that during WW2, she was forced to eat Tulip bulbs bc she was starving.
Omg that’s crazy
Indeed! She actually 'd baked a kind of bread of the tulips!
A lot if Dutch people were reduced to that. Terrible times. I read something about WWII in Paris - no room for something like victory gardens there... the lack of food... just... terrible. We can't even imagine.
Another documentary said that the Dutch people had to make flour out of tulip bulbs to make their bread. Don't ask me how they did that, but they had to turn to desperate measures due to the war.
People should take notes on her diet. She cooked for herself and one of the best rules in Europe is that they don’t allow the fast for or taste addiction chemicals that are sprayed on Doritos and other packaged foods. So eat fresh and live you’re life! 💎🙏💫
I love Audrey Hepburn! Regarding the pasta she ate I'm sure she ate smaller portions, but I've been told that the pasta in Europe is much different than the pasta from America. In fact, this person who told me this was diabetic and he brought pasta back to the US and found his blood glucose readings went down when eating a diet of European pasta as opposed to American pasta. It makes me curious to travel over there and check it out! It is no wonder Hepburn would pack a suitcase of pasta when traveling.
I’m gluten free and purchase gluten free pasta from Europe...superior to American products
Probably the classiest star hollywood actress. Great humanitarian. I read she couldn't gain weight due to starvation during ww11. Her metabolism changed affecting her weight. She died too young. Loved her classy kind soul.
im reading the book ‘Audrey Hepburn, an elegant spirit’ written by her son, Sean. he wrote her recipe:
‘peel and dice a small onion, 2 cloves of garlic, 2 carrots, 2 stalks of celery; chop and put in the pot. add 2 large tins of italian pelati, or prepeeled Roma tomatoes, and half a bunch of fresh basil, washed, leaves whole. add a long drizzle of virgin olive oil and simmer on low for 45 minutes. turn off and let rest at least 15 minutes. serve over 1 box of pasta cooked barely al dente (still a bit of a snap at the core) with lots of fresh parmesan (reggiano) and the other half of the basil, well washed and cut with scissors in a cup or glass to prevent bruising or blackening.’
Yummy. Now I'm hungry.
Will definitely try.
She admitted to Barbara Walters that she had an eating disorder in an interview. I remember watching it as a teenager bc I was shocked
Really? !🥺 I didn't know .... Im glad she was strong throughout her life . 🤍
Really😱 ?I mean it makes sense, she was weirdly thin. I don't know how people still couldn't see it...
I remember that!
I thought it was because they didn't have access to food during WW2? & she had to eat tulip bulbs to survive?
@@user-rm2uo9iu2v that’s true but the eating disorder (anorexia) was into her adulthood
She ate like 5 forks of pasta at a time, like a 1/2 a cup portion. She was known for super small portions. It’s true she ate what she wanted in a way but she still massively restricted her portion sizes.
"Audrey was a fan of carbohydrates"
Same😋Anyways great video👍
I read on her dad she had an eating disorder at a young age. I plan on trying her spaghetti sometime! Sweet Emmlyn cooked it on youtube it looked great 💗
Oh nice yummy!
Laura Jane Atelier yes she is a great chef you would like her channel she’s into vintage to
Audrey Hepburn was a child during the war and had to endure hunger which accounts for her skinniness. Many people don't realize this.
Yes Audrey didn't have enough food during the war, but I also believe she had a little bit of anorexia, but not to the extent that ruined her beauty. She was a ballet dancer. Most ballet dancers have eating disorders. Some are somewhat anorexic and others bulimic. Audrey was also an actress who also have heavy pressure put on them to be thin. She chain smoked which also helped her stay thin. That's what models do to stay thin.
I really want to think that she was that thin because of being a heaving smoker plus she had that type of thin body but one never knows
Ballet dancers burn a shit ton of calories so they actually eat way more then you’d think
The reason she had such a thin frame is because she was nearest starvation during World War II during the time that was her formative years. Basically malnutrition during her youth played a very large role in the way she looked. Yes, people can eat too much and gain weight but she always had problems with her slight frame.
I have the book. She loved her fresh parsley ❤️
I recommend to everyone, if you've never tried quince jam, you should track some down and try it. It's absolutely delicious.
Oh god I hate it so much, but I swear I am the only one in my entire family 😂 everyone seems to love it
Audrey was beautiful and talented at a time when being rail thin was de riguer. Chain smoking and surviving on coffee was a common way to achieve that end. Which came sooner for her (and Jackie O.) than one would have wished. But chubby just didn't cut it in the 60s and 70s.
very true. the cigarettes sure kept her thin. pasta my foot!
Audrey Hepburn has always been someone I looked up to, thank you for this video! I also love pasta and chocolate 💙💙💙 its like the best thing ever
A lot of people are attributing her thinness due to her malnutrition in childhood, but if you look at what happens to eating disorder patients who recover, they heal in more ways than one when they start eating normally again. People who are nutritionally depleted don’t permanently stay thin. It doesn’t make sense for Audrey Hepburn to be the one exception to the course of nature. She was just naturally thin. Yes it’s possible.
plus she was a smoker
Surely you can't be entirely serious?
"She" was a chronic chainsmoker it's hard to imagine she ate very much at all, hence the figure.
N S : Tragically, Hence the stomach cancer.
@@kiriforever1
Yes absolutely correct, I just remember it after posting.
NS:Why do you have "She" in quotation marks like that?
What is the deal with "she" in quotation marks? Do you know what that implies?
Everyone has different bodies, activities and histories. Don't compare yourself to others and copy other's diet mindlessly. Educate yourself on nutrition, learn from a reputable nutritionist, listen to your body and avoid fad diets. Healthy is not from appearance but from your mental, hormone and overall health. Stay happy and healthy everyone :)
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Ti N thank you.
Thank you, really kind ❤
TiN: your advise us right on the mark. People don't listen to their bodies!!! They let their customs lead them, to overeating. And like you say "everyone has different metabolisms"
GREAT ADVISE
Hepburn could not stomach sugar after her war years with her and her mother starved, to the point they were digging flower bulbs to eat. It is a well known fact that in Breakfast at Tiffany’s she tried to eat a pastry with icing sugar and vomited, numerous attempts later they were forced to remove the sugar.
She smokes 2-3 packs of cigarettes a day so... yea. Weight loss secret number 0 right there.
exactly!
Laura, Audrey's diet was lacking in Vitamins and nutrition! I felt so sad that she was in a Nazi Camp! Being starved, with no food! So glad that she was saved! Her diet lacked green vegetables!
I wonder was that the reason that she died of Colon Cancer? She was such a beautiful and fine actress and is truly missed! Thanks for this video! 💯
She did not eat healthfully. For regular Americans today, yes she ate healthy. Was it good enough to last? No.
Eating chocolates at night keep me awake, so it's a big no no for me. Chocolate best eaten at daytime.
I think her diet was air and water
I think she had a fast metabolism because when you age you gain weight and she never gained weight.
@@winning3329 I doubt that. She herself said that she started starving herself during the war and she hated how scarce the food were so she stopped eating it for a long periods of time. I don't think she started eating after the war either
Starving ruins your body. Also shrinks your stomach. I don’t think she ever really recovered.
@Peach Macabre I find with most people that unhealthy eating make you fat and healthy eating make you thin. Your body’s metabolism works very well with healthy eating and unhealthy you become sluggish, mentally, physically and spiritually. Audrey was a beauty inside and out I think. I adore her I would say. What a lovely human being🙂
And cigarettes. She was dead of cancer by age 68
plus for most of her adult life she is said to have smoked three packs of cigarettes a day. total appetite suppressant. and this habit did her in at the end when she died young at 63 from appendix cancer..
Loved Audrey's movies,she was sweet,charming and very genuine. I can't stand fakey people even if they are acting you can tell. She took a character and brought her to life. She lived the way she wanted ,raised two sons and we all have to die of something,right? It's normal.
Thank you so much for sharing! I love Audrey with all my heart and it’s so nice to get an insight on her life at home. ❤️
I think her smoking habit helped her
it sure did and it helped her to an early grave too.
Maybe not really healthy fir she died of colon cancer...we should eat 3 x a day with snack in between....just make sure you include natural foods like fresh veggies and cooked foods it is safe than raw foods.
I just bought one of my favorite films of hers “The Nun’s Story.” I love that movie and her performance!
She was a chain smoker, unfortunately, which surely helped with keeping weight off.
Yes I was told years ago that it killed your desire to eat, not a good trade off.
FlowersHereGrow - That’s funny, every chain smoker I’ve ever known was far from thin! Maybe they thought the same but it’s not true?
I've met fat chain smokers my father was one of them
She also didn't much if anything
@@RnR-Rebel Nicotine does often work as an appetite supressant. When people consume nicotine (any form) to lose or keep the weight off, it's very intentional. People of a bigger size can propably feel the effects of nicotine in that sense, but if they have no intention for weight loss or keeping the weight off, they most likely eat despite of the effect (or don't pay attention to it or eat around cigarette times) Often also the longer you smoke, the smaller the effect is.
The second I heard you say Kraft Dinner I realized you had to be Canadian, I was going to subscribe before but now I HAVE TO. Sending good vibes from Montreal 🇨🇦
Thanks for subscribing! That’s funny I didn’t realize I sound Canadian when I say Kraft dinner
Laura Jane Atelier I don’t find you have an accent at all, but maybe I’m biased being Canadian too! It’s just Kraft Dinner is such a Canadian thing to say, like Double Double or that your milk comes from a bag 😂😂
Haha fair enough! Don’t Americans say Kraft dinner?
Laura Jane Atelier I think they just call it mac and cheese, it’s still made by Kraft but even the box looks a bit different.
Kraft Dinner is indeed a dialect term in Canadian English! We just say Kraft Mac and Cheese here in the U.S.
She ate incredibly unhealthily
Audrey is one of my faves! Loved this!👒
I think Marilyn Monroe had the healthiest diet so far.
Check out Gloria Swanson’s diet.
M.M.'s diet was "PIG OUT"
And it showed!!!
I watched Sabrina and Breakfast at Tiffanys many times. Such good old movies. ☺❤⚘
Audrey Hepburn's diet was anything but healthy. That's why she died of colon cancer at a young age.
Thank you for this video Laura, I really enjoyed it! I grew up in Italy watching movies starring Audrey and loving her! xoxo PS I also grew up with lots of Pasta al Pomodoro...my favorite food in the world!!! :) What is your favorite pasta dish?
How was your Birthday Laura ❤❤❤ great video
It was lovely thanks for asking 💄❤️
I also eat dark chocolate, and pasta on the regular. I don't look like Audrey Hepburn....
Well done Laura. I really enjoyed your video. Audrey has been my very favorite since I was 10 years old. Her beauty is inside as well as outside. Growing up I was often told i looked like her and my nick name was Audrey, which clearly pleased me and thought it an honor! I'M GETTING THAT BOOK!
Thanks again Laura❣
Wow my late husband would never go for chicken soup for dinner, he thought if it wasn't a four course meal that he hadn't eaten lol
Do naomi Campbell
Sadly the diet didn’t help in keeping her healthy! She passed away of colon cancer although she didn’t consume too much of red meat 😞
Pretty sure it was appendix cancer.
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Great Tribulation don’t be too sure. It was colon cancer.
Key to having Audrey Hepburn's figure: Have a fast metabolism.
She was clearly ahead of the times, her diet is indeed very modern. And tasty and well-prepared.
She ate surprisingly healthy for her time.
She was a truly beautiful human being in body and soul. The story of her starvation in youth was as heart wrenching as her view of chocolate was endearing. But eating mainly pasta and sauce is a starvation diet in itself, and she died way too young at only 63 of gastrointestinal cancer. It does look like a beautiful book and tribute to her though, and I would love to read it for the stories and pictures alone.
Intestinal disease is a clear indication of a poor diet. Yes Audrey Hepburn was thin and beautiful, but did she eat healthy? No.
As you can see she dont look energetic...because if what shes been eating...and we dont see out if cam she really dont eat much healthy.
Great video! Interesting to see how Old Hollywood actresses maintain their figure. Although I think in Audrey’s situation (as mentioned in the video), her wartime years probably had an impact on her diet and attitudes towards food.
I love Audrey Hepburn. Our favorite movie of hers is Two for the Road. She's one of our favorite old Hollywood actresses. She was so elegant and classy. I love her accent. I think she spoke four languages.
I will tell you audrey had a problem eating the danish in the beginning of Breakfast at Tiffanys she hated the danish and it was a real problem I dont think her diet was good as she did die of bowel cancer probably from eating so much garbage pasta and chocolate
10000% YES
She looked okay in movies like Sabrina but in breakfast at Tiffany's she was to skinny. Idk it is kind of hard to tell
should note she was a heavy smoker
Nicely done thank you 💜 I definitely want this book. Huge Audrey fan.
I don't think she eat, like at all.
She said that during war she hated how scarce the food were so she tried to stop herself from eating food and after the war she got into chain smoking therefore didn't eat much either. Also she hated sweets. Also the solider was English who gave her a cigarette. She smoked it and she always associated it w/ scent of freedom which is way she smoked it until the end of her life
she was so tiny because she almost starved to death in her younger/formative years. the malnourishment permanently stunted her growth, so she stayed tiny regardless
I love her. I especially liked her in the beatnik outfit of a black turtleneck and black cigarette pants and black penny loafers. She always looked fabulous! Dressed up or down she always looked great!
Wow! I would love to get my hands on that book ☺️ I also, do love pasta like she does hehehe.
One of her sons, Sean, I think, stated that she suffered from anemia her whole life doubtless as a result of nearly starving as a young girl when you should be building bones and muscles etc. as you are growing. Poor wee pet! My rule of thumb regarding fashion is that if Audrey wouldn’t wear it, neither will I!
Ugh she’s my favorite
I saw documentary about how she passed away, same like my father 😭 colon cancer.
Very enjoyable video, Laura. Thank you. Happy Belated Birthday!
Happy belated birthday!!! Her spaghetti sauce recipe is delicious. Made it a few times, and everyone loved it!
Was painfully thin. In all respect I'm sure she had some kind of eating disorder
Gosh dang it! I want some pasta! !!!😍 Thanks for sharing!!!
Audrey was beautiful inside and out 💖
The Hollywood diet then was diet pills and cigarettes..
Can you do a vlog video on along her favorite pasta please!!!!
I wish i can find it one day. I love everything about Audrey. Always been A true fan. Thank You for your vlogs i really enjoy them. 👍👍👍👍👍😍
Vintage stuff is awesome I just found your channel it was in my recommended I just subbed
Her fashion style though 😍
🌹🌹🌹👍cool
Just ordered the book! Thanks for sharing about it!!
Audrey Hepburn's skin care?
.hank you! I just adored Audrey .
Loving the shimmer pot eyeshadow on you!
Needs blending...
She was anorexic ..she didn't eat...trauma from the war
We love the memory of her movie's and her real life personality. Dark Chocolate bar's are healthy and believe i will induldge.
If I was her I probably would have shoved everything wanted in my mouth after the war.
I knew another thin woman who was never able to gain weight after a poor calorie restricted childhood.
Happy birthday Laura❤️❤️❤️
I read that because of her starvation in the camps she could never gain weight after that
Anorexics always make up excuses for why they don't eat much. I think she had a bit of an eating disorder, eating only very small amount.
@@sherrydrake4973 it was that or her body type. Malnutrition had to do with it though, plus she was a heavy smoker
@@sherrydrake4973 She did admit to having an eating disorder in a previous interview before.
Italian food is life.
I just love your channel. You're absolutely charming and graceful!💐💫🗯
What’s a Madaline?
Unfortunately, she was anorexic.
People who call other people anorexic, are usually binge eaters. And hate the thought that other people have will power!!!
@@louisgonzalez8846 found the anorexic
@@louisgonzalez8846 She admitted to an eating disorder and was a chain smoker...
Good job 👏❤️
Her son said that his mother Audrey was always an anorexic
Baking chocolate!? 😝
I love Audrey Hepburn, thanks for sharing the book❤️ I'll be sure to buy a copy.
Back then the food was actual food not GMO also the soil had all the minerals in it. Is a totally different story then and now, people then could be a lot thinner and eat a lot more than us now.
Ka-Pra-zee
Kathleen B - Very close! Ka-pra (you roll the “r” a little, drag out the “ah”)-say. J. XXX 😘🧡

Elegance personified with an impish charm…simply a beautiful woman inside and out
