From Marilyn Monroe to Mary Tyler Moore – What the Stars Ate to Keep Slim

Find out what they avoided and which foods were their guilty pleasures!

Mary Tyler Moore

Being diabetic, Mary Tyler Moore had many more dietary concerns than those of her fellow actresses. Moore strove to eat a balanced diet for her, consuming a notoriously healthy menu which kept her very slim and would be considered healthy even by today’s standards.

In 1970 her daily diet (according to a Vogue Magazine interview) went something like this – for breakfast half a grapefruit, one poached, and a slice of bacon. For lunch it was a salad with cottage cheese, tuna, and fresh vegetables. For dinner Moore might have a steak with two kinds of vegetables (no salt or butter). Unsurprisingly, Moore had a weakness for cookies as well!
