The strict diet that Queen Letizia follows for this Christmas 2017
In each public act, Queen Letizia is news for each of her chosen outfits, but also for her slim figure. Her muscular arms and slender legs are highly commented on especially by the foreign press. However, It is no secret that the wife of King Felipe VI takes great care of her body doing exercise, especially bodybuilding and yoga, but the most remarkable thing of all is her strict diet.
Queen Letizia is very selective and rigorous with each of the foods that enter Zarzuela and They consume her, and the rest of the family, King Felipe and her daughters, Princess Leonor and the Infanta Sofia. It is known that Letizia does not skip any of her meals in order to maintain her figure, but what is really important is the food you eat, especially from organic origin.
It is for this reason that, although the copious Christmas meals are approaching, where food is always left over and a great variety of dishes are presented, in Zarzuela, at least the queen will follow her diet as every day, with carefully selected foods.
Fruits and vegetables from the garden
In Zarzuela there are several suppliers that offer their best products, tAll of them with the ecological certificate to guarantee their origin and the products that are used in their care and growth., thus avoiding excessive pesticides, harmful to health.
It is for this reason that the Kings usually do the shopping in ‘La Huerta de Carabaña’, according to the portal ‘Gossip’. Their quality has made them the first choice of Palacio and it is also the provider of the school where Leonor and Sofía study.

However, In Zarzuela they also have their own garden where they grow vegetables and fruits, also organically grown. In this way, a part of the food they eat daily comes from this garden. And it is that practically, in their diet, fruits and vegetables make up 80%.
The only meats the queen eats
The other 20% of their diet is made up of meat and fish. But Letizia also does not consume any type of meat. The best pieces of beef tenderloin from the north of Spain are selected for the Kings, since it is very rich in protein.
Free-range and organic free-range chicken is Letizia's other great bet. Whether in broth, roasted or grilled, the whole family usually consumes this white meat, the one that contributes the least fat to the body. Although it should be noted that the queen always usually eats steamed or grilled free-range chicken.
Fish also from the north
Like the beef, the fish served at Palacio comes from the north of Spain. The great supplier of the Kings for years is a fishmonger in A Coruña. It also supplied the kitchen of the emeritus kings Juan Carlos and Sofía.
In Zarzuela dishes, unlike meat, a great variety of fish are presented, such as lhake, sole or sea bass, always of the highest quality. These fish are also usually eaten by Letizia steamed or grilled, accompanied by boiled vegetables.
The Christmas menu
In this way, these foods are sure to make up the Christmas meal this Christmas Eve. But unlike the rest of Spaniards, at least Letizia will only enjoy one dish, and several menus have already been thought of that will be presented at the Kings' table. The diet will not be left aside, nor will proteins and vegetables.

The nutritionist and dietician Jessica Hierro, explained to ‘El Español’, that King Felipe VI, Queen Letizia and other diners, they could enjoy one of these menus, in which organic and healthy foods stand out.
One option would be salmon with vegetable bed and yogurt sauce, nothing copious or heavy. Another dish could be a complete fresh spinach salad with broccoli, avocado, walnuts and cherry tomatoes. It is also thought of with cooking meat.
Possibly it will be grilled free-range chicken breast. It will be accompanied by zucchini, mushrooms, basil and tomato, and Parmesan cheese along with berries. Finally, a fourth option is to continue with the fish and cook grilled halibut, accompanied by a salad of lettuce, asparagus, melon slices, among others.
