Victoria Beckham usually makes headlines for her staggeringly high heels, impeccable fashion sense and ever-present dour expression. Lately, though, it seems she's again raising eyebrows for her skin-and-bones appearance. It doesn't help that her nutritionist Monica Grenfell recently spoke out about the mother-of-three's eating habits, admitting that Posh is so strict about what she eats that she won't even snack on the 11-hour flight between London and LA. "Victoria told me she's not that keen on eating on the plane," Grenfell tells Metro in the UK. "She prefers to catch up on her sleep and reenergise."

OK, I can understand not wanting to touch that dodgy airplane food, but 11 hours is a long time to go without food, don't you think?

"Victoria's always been a teeny little thing. She seems into her diet in a big way," Grenfell adds. "When she goes on business lunches she'll choose white fish and she'll often pick at things rather than have big sit down meals." Victoria recently admitted to running eight miles a day, and for that kind of workout, she needs more nourishment than a few bites of fish. Sadly, it seems she's more interested maintaining her oh-so-tiny physique than eating healthy.

Want to steal some of Posh's style? Dress yourself thin with these fall fashions.

There is no doubt that VB has a tiny skeleton and very light musculature and in combination this means that she is a very weak woman, but she is not unhealthy. She is probably a little stronger than she looks because it is apparent that although tiny her muscles are well toned. She has lovely definition in her arms and legs and although they are very slight and slender they are still femininely soft and gently curved. This all suggests that although she is physically weak, even compared to other slender and beautiful women, due to her naturally delicate frame, she is perfectly healthy.

Sorry... but Victoria looks malnourished! If it wasn't for those silicone implants she'd look like a sickly 10 yr old boy. You know the saying, "You can never be too rich or too thin", well, you really can be, and she is. Probably both. ;)

That skeletal body with those huge breast implants just look sick. The woman is clearly anorexic.

I don't see what the fuss is about.
Of course she looks malnourished and ridiculous - but if having sticks for actual arms/legs is her "thing", then so be it.
Her fake boobs look just as ridiculous -- so why not add to the comical look with the twig appendages.

These people obviously have a mental defect and this is what they choose -- so be it.
They care more about having a strange - fake look than living a long, healthy fun life!

It's sad...but it's there choice...who cares.
I don't buy anything she wears or their colognes or perfumes or go to his soccer games, so I don't care.
I don't support their lifestyle in any way.

I use my own money to spend on myself and family, eat healthy and exercise and enjoy our normal, natural lives! :)

(shoot! i hate misspellings....i meant...."it's THEIR choice".

Sunny, It's okay... I misspell too... Sometimes, I can't see well enough what I have been typing until it is too late and then, it has been published! I am far-sighted. And it usually gets worse when the sun goes down. Cheer up! :-)

Does Becks really enjoy shagging a concentration camp body ?

Mrs. Beckham is more interested in starving herself to death, and looking like if she came from a third world country. Did she go to Africa to see thousands of starving people who can't get anything else decent to eat? I think she's another victim of anorexia. Unless she gets treated immediately, she will have a huge health problems that could be of great concern for her kids and husband. People who suffer from anorexia, can have heart problems and other life threatening problems derived from nutritional deficiency.
I think of Mrs. Beckham as a very attractive woman, but she looks as if she has a mental problem that was not being properly diagnosed. If she proved to be a huge danger to herself, then she will be a huge risk as well for the welfare of her kids. Sadly, she seems not to get it and is in need of mental help and of urgent medical care. Before she become the next victim of anorexia's deadly grip.
