It might be hard to believe that a celebrity chef chows down just like the rest of us - and might be harder still to believe that the chef is Giada De Laurentiis. Famous for eating, quote "a little bit of everything and not a lot of anything," here's a peek at how Giada satisfies her hunger in real life.
When De Laurentiis wakes up, she doesn't head straight for the coffee. Instead she reaches for water with lemon - two glasses to be exact - and prefers warm to ice cold when she's still shaking off the previous night. She told Delish,
"You get dehydrated as you sleep and need to help your body rehydrate when you get up."
According to a nutritionist for Business Insider, there are plenty of reasons to knock back a couple glasses of water first thing in the morning, especially if your routine includes a cup of joe. The expert explained,
"Most people have their coffee first thing in the morning. Although it is a good source of antioxidants, it is also dehydrating. You can offset this with water."
Other benefits include increasing your alertness, fighting off illness, and jump-starting your metabolism. Sounds like Giada gets her day started right.

What do you think about Giada De Laurentiis?
I kind of like how like bubbly she is but those lasagna rolls are criminal they look amazing and I would eat lasagna like that if I had to cut down on portion size
She sucks, literally
I used to like her. Then I found out that she never eats what you see her cook. She takes a bite then the camera will show something else while she spits her mouthful in the garbage. A chef who hides things like that aren't worth my time.
I honestly like her, she seems like a fun person to be around
Sounds to me that her palate is complete shit.... Wtf is she eating? Cold spaghetti with chocolate chips... disgusting....
5:56 What kind of Cat is that? 2nd why is on the counter/island in the kitchen? See this is why some of us don't eat 'everybody's' food.
I cannot have respect for a chef that won't even eat the food they cook!!!
A goddess in all respects.
No wonder Giada divorced her husband-no eggs for breakfast; who does that
She looks like a bobble head.
Lol, you need to find a better nutritionist to consult. Coffee isn’t dehydrating, caffeine is. A standard cup of coffee is still a net fluid gain, it’s just not as much as water.
This comment is here because you don’t eat enough and you know it.
she chows down on DEEZ NUTZ
She comes from Capri were lemons are prevalent. Hence the lemonade.
I like Oatmeal cookies and lemonade myself
I saw another video about Giada on AMworlds that said she spits the food out she cooks on the show into a bucket kept beneath her cooking station.
Consider this: most TV personalities shoot multiple segments a day, with several takes, so it makes sense that Giada doesn't eat every bite. Sometimes six to 10 takes with three episodes a day, and that would be like eating six to eight meals a day. Spitting out wine is common practice among wine professionals, so how come it has to be different for those in the food industry?
She does, it's ridiculous.
I heard that too!! 😯
Please we know that she doesn't even eat her own food. She chews and spits.
Just ask Bobby Flay.
Must be nice to be born beautiful and into a rich family like Giada. The rest of us need to struggle and work hard to get by.
Oh gosh, there was a story a few months ago of a former beauty queen who lost a leg in some sort of medical error. You have to make your own happiness and be happy with who you are. The beauty queen was on social media dancing on her prosthetic leg.
Is this after Bobby Flay gives Giada some very fresh protein?
