Amal Clooneys Simple Seaweed Soup Diet Unveiled!

As a working mother-of-two it's a given that doesn't have much spare time on her hands. 

So the international human rights lawyer, 48, has managed to condense her diet and fitness regime to be manageable yet effective.  

Amal is said to start her day with a bowl of Miyeokguk - a traditional Korean soup made with edible brown seaweed, sesame oil, and garlic. 

The Lebanese-British lawyer then relies on lean protein for lunch, with Amal and George hiring a private chef to rustle up their meals. 

One Vogue reporter previously got a peek of the pair's lunchtime spread, with writer Nathan Heller reporting: 'Clooney leads me to the kitchen, where her chef has laid out food. 

'There is a salad, spaghetti with turkey meatballs, and chicken breast with lemon sauce. We help ourselves and take a seat at a small table nearby.'

She allows herself the odd treat at dinner, apparently enjoying pizza night once a week with her family, with her favourite being a margherita with a side of rocket salad. 

Amal's husband George Clooney previously gave an insight into meal times in an interview alongside their private chef, Viviana Frizzi, who hails from Lake Como and has worked for the family since 2013.

'She can make anything, including handmade gnocchi with pesto that would make you cry,' George said.

'Vivi cooks almost every night for us now because we have the twins. Going out isn't as easy or as interesting as it used to be. 

'Besides all of our friends would rather eat her food than hit up a local restaurant in Como or in London.

'Honestly, Amal and I are such poor chefs that any lesson from Vivi in the kitchen would be like teaching a whale to fly.'

When it comes to exercising Amal likes to keep fit by playing tennis, and gives George a good run for his money. 

George previously revealed: ‘Amal is a really good athlete. When I was younger, I won some tennis tournaments. 

'I played a lot of sports – I still play a lot of sports, and I can actually play [well]. And Amal just beats the hell out of me.’

Amal is also rumoured to go on walks for an hour every day, lift weights for 20 minutes and do Pilates. 

While Amal has managed to find balance in all aspects of life, she recently confessed that fame had left her feeling self-conscious about her career.

Speaking at a Cartier Dialogues event in Bangkok, Amal reflected on how her life changed after tying the knot with George, 65, in 2014.

Before meeting the actor, Amal had built a successful international legal career away from the spotlight, a separation she says became far harder to maintain once she became one half of one of the world’s most famous couples.

'It was a weird phenomenon. I used to have my work life and my personal life, and they could look quite different, and I was able to not have them mix… and then I got married and that changed quite a lot,' she said.

As the spotlight on the couple intensified - particularly after they welcomed twins Alexander and Ella, now nine, in 2017 - Amal said she initially felt overly conscious of how she was perceived in her professional life.

She admitted she worried about a ‘one-dimensional’ view of her public image.

'And at first I was kind of conscious of that one-dimensional view where I felt like, well, I can't be seen wearing this dress or doing this because I'm in front of a judge on Monday and I don't want the judge to… but you know it just doesn't matter as much as living your life,' she added.

'Ultimately if you're good at what you do, that is going to shine through or not.'

Despite the pressures of public attention, Amal said she refused to let it dictate her choices or hold her back.

‘I wouldn't allow that factor to stop me from doing things that were important for my family or for my relationship.

'It was easier when I could decide what kind of exposure I got. It was something new to navigate.'
