Jo Wood, 71, maintains her slim figure through a disciplined organic diet and intermittent fasting, stocking her fridge with fresh fruits and vegetables while spending £80-£100 weekly on groceries.
Daily Eating Routine
Jo Wood fasts until midday, starting her day with a matcha or decaf latte blended with supplements like Lion’s Mane, Turkey Tail, Astragalus, He Shou Wu, Maca, and Reishi. Lunch remains simple, such as mashed banana on organic bread drizzled with olive oil and cinnamon, or kefir with honey and banana. Snacks include seaweed strips, apples, or pears. Dinner features clean options like wild-caught cod paired with crisp cucumber salad, followed by half a bar of Green & Black’s chocolate.
Jo Wood shared: ‘I always start with a matcha latte or a decaf latte, blended with a stack of my favourite powders: Lion’s Man, Turkey Tail, Astragalus, He Shou Wu, Maca and Reishi. I usually wait until midday to eat. Lunch is simple but delicious – often a banana mashed on good organic bread with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Other days I’ll have kefir with honey and banana. My go-to snack is seaweed strips, apples or pears. Dinner tends to be something clean and fresh like wild-caught cod with a crisp cucumber salad. Afterwards I might have half a bar of Green & Black’s chocolate.’
