Giada spits in bucket to lose weight and there is a reason for that. Giada de Laurentiis spits in a dump bucket to stay thin, according to an insider. A new report has surfaced, claiming that de Laurentiis stays skinny by using a spit bucket on her hit show, Giada at Home.
Giada spits in bucket to maintain her size 2 frame, some are not happy about it. According to new reports the answer is yes and she is not the only one to use dump buckets. In a recent article published in Page Six, a close source to Giada de Laurentiis revealed that the star does not eat nor drink on the set of her TV shows.
Giada is the current host of Giada at Home on the Food Network and also appears regularly as a contributor, and guest co-host on NBC’s Today.
The source explained that while cooking on the shows, Giada de Laurentiis will put a piece of food in her mouth, but will not swallow it. A person brings a dump bucket also known as a spit bucket where she spits out the food as soon the cameras cut. The insider shared:
“When Giada films her cooking show, she never eats. Never. When she is making drinks and food that she has to drink or eat, they have a dump bucket that is brought out the second they cut.”
The Daytime Emmy Award winner has another method to stay thin, she has her assistant take a bit of the food, leaving the teeth marks behind and when the cameras start rolling, she puts an empty fork in her mouth and pretends to eat. The person claimed:
“Sometimes when they are shooting her taking bites out of food like cake, they have an assistant take the bite (so you only see teeth and a mouth), and then they cut back to her taking an empty fork out of her mouth to resume filming.She does not eat at all while filming.”
The “Giada Spits In Bucket” story has made headlines, which prompted her representative, Stephen Huvane to issue the following statement:
“That is absurd and completely false. She absolutely eats her own food while filming.Giada tapes sometimes three episodes in one day, and they do multiple takes on a close-up of her eating. She doesn’t always eat and swallow every time, since they can do sometimes six to 10 takes with three episodes a day, and that would be like eating six to eight meals a day . . . The bottom line is, she most certainly does eat the food she prepares on the show, but does not always consume the whole dish, as that would be too much for most people to eat in one day.”
While few people took to Twitter and Facebook to blast Giada for looking anorexic and for wasting food, food critics, wine tasters, foodies and chefs have made it known; that is, a common practice to spit out food and drinks in order not to gain weight.
