Have you seen pictures of Queen Elizabeth II lately? She looks great. The outfits are on point, her smile is a perfect pearly white, and her makeup and hair are never askew. Plus, her energy! The 91-year-old royal carried out more than 300 engagements in 2015more than William, Kate, and Harry combined.

So how does she keep it up? Green juices? Espressos? None of the above. For the queen, the simpler her diet, the better.

According to chef Darren McGrady, who worked at Buckingham Palace from 1982 through 1993, Queen Elizabeth sticks to eating grilled or poached fish with vegetableshold the potatoes and starch. Shes very disciplined like that. She could have anything she wanted, but it is that discipline that keeps her so well and so healthy, he says.

But wait! This is the queen were talking about. She could have any food she wanted in the world. Beluga caviar. Wagyu beef. Hell, even Cronuts. Youre telling us theres none of that around? The queens not really bothered about food. All she cares about are horses and dogs, he says. The chefs and food and kitchens come last. Theyre still using pots and pans from the 1800s, with the Queen Victoria stamp on them, at Buckingham Palace. Hed even ask if the royals wanted to upgrade their cooking equipment, but theyd refuse. No, no, no, we need the money to buy horses and saddles, he was told.

What about the claim that the queen has four drinks a day? Not soShed be pickled if she drank that much. But when she does drink, its a glass of German sweet wine with dinner, or her favorite drink, a gin and Dubonnet.

The queen, however, does have one vicedark chocolate. She loves the stuff, says McGrady, going as far to call the monarch a chocoholic. It has to be the dark chocolate, the darker the better. She wasnt keen on milk chocolate or white chocolate.

Forget Paleo, forget gluten-free, forget juice cleanses: Were starting the Queen Elizabeth diet, stat. After all, the womans still riding horses in her nineties.
