In the memoir “The Woman in Me,” written by Britney Spears, she reveals that her father called her fat. He made her eat a rigid diet of processed vegetables and chicken for two years. She begged for real food and her requests were denied.
During the infamous conservatorship, Britney’s father, Jamie Spears, controlled everything she put into her mouth. She could only eat what she was told and had to avoid certain foods altogether.
Spears says that her dad was always telling her that she looked fat, and he put her on a strict diet. Britney would beg him for real food, like hamburgers and ice cream.
Her father would not allow it. Even though the “Baby One More Time” hitmaker had a butler, which she says is obviously an “extravagance,” Jamie said no to her requests.
Britney Was Insulted by Strict Diet
Britney Spears had to follow this diet for two years. She had this to say about her epic incarceration:
“My body was strong enough to carry two children and agile enough to execute every move perfectly onstage. And now, here I was, having every calorie recorded so that people could continue to get rich off my body. Two years is a long time not to be able to eat what you want, especially when it’s your body and your work and your soul making the money that everyone’s living off of.”
The strict diet insulted Spears, and she explained that she had been begging for food for two years, and no one would listen to her.
In her memoir, Britney compares her father to a cult leader. She would try to stand up to him or ask him permission for things. However, no one around her would speak up for her or admit he was doing anything wrong.
The “Gimme More” songstress explained that she felt like her body wasn’t hers anymore because her father told her what to put in it. Britney said,
“Two years of asking for French fries and being told no, I found it so degrading.”
Ironically, Britney also said that she actually gained weight from following this regimen. When your body works so hard and is starving for food, it can slow your metabolism.
Britney Spears Needed Sustenance to Fuel Her Body
Living life requires energy. Even when you are just thinking, your body needs energy. The phenomenon is called “starvation mode,” and your body holds onto and stores calories, making it extremely difficult to lose weight.
It may also have robbed Britney of being able to perform exercises up to her potential. When you don’t have the energy to do your best, your body won’t respond the same way as when you take in the foods you need to exist.
Britney’s bland diet probably also made her want to rebel and eat foods that were maybe not the best choices. However, when the mood strikes, we are all entitled to a little Haagen Dazs.
The feelings that remain in Spears, even after the conservatorship ended in November 2021, is that she is not good enough.
It is easy for some to judge Britney, but most people don’t know what she went through until now.
