By Evie Scott on March 26, 2024 at 11:30 AM EDT
Olivia Culpo shocked fans with her diet reveal as she let drop that she's always down for pizza and pasta. In an ETreveal that delved into her nutrition mindset, the 31-year-old model reminded fans that models do eat, name-dropping two carb-heavy dishes that she adores.
Discussing her 80/20 philosophy as she revealed paying attention to 80% of what she eats versus the 20% she's easygoing about, Olivia gave a nod to her Italian heritage with the pizza and pasta mention, and there's more.

Scroll for more photos. In her reveal, the former Miss Universe shared:
“I swear by the 80/20 rule: 80 percent clean eating, 20 percent splurging," adding: “I grew up in a big Italian family, so I will never say no to homemade pizza and pasta.” Of her 80/20 rule, Culpo elaborated to explain:
“Eighty percent of the time I’m really good, and then 20 percent of the time, I allow myself to eat, not whatever, but indulge a little more, I guess you could say. That’s worked really well for me in general, especially this past year, where obviously everyone’s just trying to find comfort wherever they can. Eating salad 24/7 is not going to give you that kind of comfort.”

In a reveal to The Kit, Olivia got way more granular as she shared exactly what lands on her plate for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, also mentioning her favorite snacks. Hint, the latter can be found in her freezer.
“A typical breakfast is oatmeal with peanut butter. I’m obsessed! You use the peanut butter as a topper and you can also have a banana with it or strawberry or granola," she said, listing one seriously healthy breakfast. While lunches can be salads with chicken or salmon, dinner is "usually the 20 percent of the time when I go all out. I love pasta, I love pizza, but if I’m trying to be healthier, I would go with a salmon and spinach or some sort of vegetable, or chickpeas.”
Olivia then listed both Ben & Jerry's and Haagen Dazs as her favorite ice cream. She adores mint chocolate chip and cookie dough, plus cookies and cream.

The 80/20 mindset is popular in Hollywood, and it seems to work.
“That means 80 percent of the time I’m really good, and 20 percent of the time I totally pig out because I love to indulge," Olivia continued. Of keeping going with a caffeine kick here or there, the fiance to Christian McCaffrey shared: "Believe it or not, I don’t drink coffee every day. I’m more of a green tea person and I have to drink a ton of water—that’s my number one beauty secret.”
