I’d eat a Cup-a-Soup every other day during anorexia battle – that’s 300 calories a week, reveals Christine McGuinness
thesun.co.ukCHRISTINE McGuinness has confessed she used to survive on less than 300 calories a week during her battle with anorexia. While working as a dancer in Paris in her teens she admits she ate just a 90 calorie Cup-A-Soup every other day - dangerously under the 2,000 recommended for women per day.
But Christine, 33, has said she has “no regrets”, despite the toll it took on her health. The Real Full Monty star said: “The only thing that got slightly out of control was my eating disorder.
No one was keeping an eye on me, so I barely ate. "I was dancing and burning a lot of calories, and I never took a dinner break. “It was easy for me to get away with not eating, because no one was watching me. "I’d have a Cup-a-Soup, which was 90 calories, every other day and that was it.
Nothing else, bar loads of water. "So, it wasn’t great for my health, but it was one of the happiest times of my life. "I have no regrets, and at the time it was my own little rendition of my favourite film, Dirty Dancing.” Christine lived in Paris in her late teens and made a living dancing on podiums in nightclubs.
