Jackie ‘O’ Henderson shocks co-host Kyle Sandilands with unusual eating habit

In the wake of her recent weight loss, the radio personality revealed one snacking habit she’s adopted that even surprised her co-host, Kyle Sandilands.

Jackie ‘O’ Henderson has shared her rather strange eating habit on The Kyle & Jackie O Show.

Speaking to co-host Kyle Sandilands on Thursday, the 48-year-old revealed she practices intermittent fasting and therefore does not eat breakfast, avoids carbohydrates and – here’s the real kicker – snacks on slivers of meat throughout the day.

“I cook steak and slice it up, and then I’ll have a slice of steak if I’m hungry,” she said live on air.

When Sandilands joked that “a dog would eat more“ and it sounded like she was “starving” herself like she was “on the Survivor television show”, Henderson insisted she does eat meals.

For lunch, the star – who is an ambassador for the WW weight loss program – said she eats “three small slices” of her pre-sliced steak coupled with some Vietnamese rice paper rolls containing fish and cabbage. And for dinner, she usually eats vegetables and a protein, like chicken or red meat.

However, the radio personality insisted her diet isn’t that restrictive, as she allows herself frappuccinos between meals.

Sugary drinks aside, Henderson’s diet hasn’t always been super-clean.

Prior to undergoing a lifestyle overhaul late last year – which resulted in an overall 12kg weight loss – the mum-of-one was living on fast food, including sausage rolls and microwave meals from her local petrol station.

“I was eating a lot of food that I could get in a hurry. You know, pizza and sandwiches and just takeaway, I wasn’t cooking myself,” she told Woman’s Day in February. “And I think it’s always better when you know what you’re putting into your body. I got very lazy.”

In November, Henderson took extended leave from her radio program to focus on her health and wellbeing.

“I just needed a little bit of time off to recuperate and it’s been great,” she told the magazine.
