Key Points:
- A journalist followed a four-day diet based on Meghan Markle's reported eating habits, which primarily consists of a flexitarian approach with plant-based foods during the week and occasional meat or fish on weekends.
- The diet included meals like steel-cut oats with almond milk for breakfast, salads with protein for lunch, green juices as snacks, and pasta dishes such as cacio e pepe for dinner, along with occasional red wine.
- The journalist experienced persistent hunger, low energy, dizziness, and lethargy, attributing these effects to the diet's low calorie and protein content, which was significantly below recommended levels for an active adult male.
- A dietitian highlighted that Markle’s diet, while nutrient-rich, lacked sufficient protein and calories for most people, especially those who exercise regularly, and recommended adding protein sources like dairy, lean meats, or protein powder to improve satiety and energy.
- Despite the diet's shortcomings, the dietitian praised Markle's inclusion of edible flowers like violas for their nutritional benefits, including vitamins and anti-inflammatory properties.
