After making comments that she only eats “when I feel like it,” Naomi Campbell posted a video to her YouTube channel in which she grocery shops at Whole Foods.
“I need to do my own groceries. I can’t order them online,” the supermodel, 49, explained in the video posted Thursday. “I need to choose my own fruit in case they come bruised. I need to see it for my own eyes.”
Describing her grocery runs as “therapeutic,” Campbell talked about her evolving diet. “I found out in January, no gluten, no wheat, no dairy,” she said. “I’m like, ‘What the f–k am I going to eat?’ All my comfort food just went down the drain and I’m sad, ’cause that’s the kind of things I like to munch on at night when I get back from work or an event and I want to watch crappy TV, like everybody else in the world. Love a little munchy on something, carbohydrates for sure.”
Campbell’s shopping ensemble included a black Adidas track jacket and pants set and 1972 slogan Topshop t-shirt along with a Valentino men’s denim vlogo belt bag. She donned the same hexagonal Valentino sunglasses from her airplane routine video.
Campbell shopped primarily for fruits, noting that she has a renewed craving for candy and sweets. “Now that I’ve stopped smoking I tend to want to pick up candy,” she said. “I need to eat more fruit and not candy.”
At one point while walking past some candy, she recalled that in London there are brands of marshmallows that are gluten-free and fall within her diet. However, according to her the amount of traveling she does, “sometimes [she] forgets which country [she’s] in.”
Her trip to the grocery store comes a few weeks after making comments about her controversial eating habits. In an interview on the UK show “Lorraine,” she stated that if it’s too hot out, “sometimes I don’t [eat], I just want to do juice.”
“I don’t starve myself. If I want to do a day of just not eating, I do it and just do water or juice. Depends how I feel,” she said.
