Despite calling the “Top Chef” crew her “family,” and noting how “hard and complex” her decision was to walk away, Lakshmi revealed she’s okay with leaving behind the physical toll that comes with eating all the delicious food in the short span of time that the show films.
“It’s only six or eight weeks, but my body goes through a lot in those six or eight weeks,” the model explained. “And I don’t spit anything out unless I think it’s unhealthy for me to eat it. I know I should, or I can, but I don’t like doing it because those chefs are putting their heart and soul into every plate of food and I feel terrible to spit it out.”
