Millie Mackintosh reveals what she eats in a day as she 'cuts out refined sugar' which she insists has helped with her ADHD

Millie Mackintosh has revealed exactly what she eats in a day as she opened up about her diet which has 'helped with her ADHD'.

The former Made In Chelsea star, 36, explained on Monday that she has 'cut out refined sugar' and focuses on consuming 'wholefoods' 

Millie revealed she starts her day with 'bone broth' before protein filled meals while she approaches with an 80/20 mindset. 

Sharing a series of Instagram photos, Millie wrote: 'What I eat in a day. I cut out refined sugar about a year ago, which I’ve spoken a little bit about before, but not in that much detail. 

'I felt so good after doing a 10 day sugar detox that I’ve followed it fairly closely ever since, focusing on a more wholefood way of eating. 

'I try not to be too rigid with it, it’s very much an 80/20 approach, but it’s honestly really helped with my ADHD and just feeling more balanced day to day.'

She continued: 'Eating this way has also really changed how I think about food. Focusing on whole foods means prioritising ingredients in their most natural form, foods that support blood sugar balance, reduce inflammation and provide the nutrients our brains and bodies actually need.

'It’s something @drmarkhyman talks about a lot: when you remove ultra-processed foods and excess sugar, you’re giving your body the chance to regulate energy, mood and focus more effectively. 

'For me, it’s less about restriction and more about nourishment and thinking of food as medicine.' 

Going through her day to day eating patterns, Millie said she enjoys a protein shake and soup for lunch before later tucking into curry or stew for dinner. 

She explained: 'My mornings usually start with bone broth, hot water with lemon and electrolytes, which makes me feel so hydrated, nourished and full of energy. 

'After the school run I’ll have a protein, almond butter and berry smoothie, which usually keeps me going until lunch, with a handful of nuts if I need something extra as a snack. 

'In winter I often go for a veggie packed soup at lunchtime as I find it so warming, usually adding eggs, fish or chicken for a bit more protein. 

'If I need a snack in the afternoon it might be a chia pudding, more nuts or a keto snack.

'Dinner is always centered around protein, and is often a curry, stew or something slow cooked with veggies on the side. Nothing extreme, just food that helps me feel good.

'We’re all different and I’m not an expert, but I wanted to share this with you as it’s a plan that really works for me'. 

It comes after Daily Mail revealed she'd dumped her long-term manager who is also a close friend and godmother of her two children.

Millie's decision to end her professional and personal relationship with Donna Rooney has stunned mutual friends, who had assumed their bond was 'water-tight'.

Insiders suggest the star was desperate to sever ties with her reality TV roots, fearing that the association was holding back her career and preventing her from landing more 'credible' opportunities.

The split has left Donna, a friend of over a decade and a close figure in Millie's daughters' lives, who was even given the honour of being their godmother, 'deeply upset'.

According to sources, Millie has even unfollowed Donna on Instagram, and friends claim 'there is no way back' after what the agent allegedly called a 'betrayal'.

Millie has now signed with YMU, the agency behind stars including Ant and Dec, Simon Cowell, Davina McCall, and Claudia Winkleman, who officially welcomed her as a client this month.

She hopes the move will open doors to television opportunities, boost her brand presence, and most importantly finally shed the 'reality star' label.

A source told the Daily Mail: 'Millie has become increasingly disenchanted with still being known as an 'ex Made In Chelsea star.' Whatever venture she dips her toes into, the label seems to follow her everywhere - and she's had enough.

'The show made her name, but she hasn't appeared on it for over a decade and to her, it feels like another life.

'So, in order to finally make a clean break from it, she made the difficult decision to part with Donna.

'They have been friends for over a decade, Donna is the godmother to Millie's children, they have holidayed together for years, and share countless memories.

'Donna treats Millie's children as if they were her own and would spoil them whenever she could.

'But business is business for Millie and she felt the move would benefit her career. It's needless to say but Donna was extremely upset by the total lack of loyalty. She thought they were a team.'

The Daily Mail contacted Millie's representative and Donna for comment.

This week the star, who shares Sienna, five, and four-year-old Aurelia, with husband Hugo Taylor, 39, took to Instagram to tell fans the 'truth' as she starts a 'new season of life'.

Millie shared a number of videos of herself on holiday, running, spending time with her children and having her hair and makeup done, as she listed how she has changed as a friend from not replying to text messages to saying no to plans.

She wrote: 'Used to be a 10/10 friend, 9/10 when I became a mother, 8/10 when I didn't reply to your texts right away, 7/10 when I didn't need people to like me,

'6/10 when I started saying no to plans, 5/10 when I started my alcohol free journey, 4/10 when I didn't have the energy to keep up to date with the group chat.

'3/10 when I started sticking up for myself, 2/10 when I realised I didn't have much of myself left to give, 1/10 when I realise we weren't the same people anymore'.

She continued: 'But here's the truth... The 10/10 belonged to an older version of me. I'm a 10/10 in a new season of my life'.

The reality star captioned the post: 'A reminder that you’re always a 10/10, the seasons of your life are just changing. It’s ok to evolve and outgrow the old versions of yourself'.
