A young woman says she lives on almost nothing but Rice Krispies – and insists she is still healthier than most people . Natalie Swindells , 26 , eats four bowls of the cereal every day . She can ’ t face eating much else and has not tasted a vegetable for nearly two decades . The bank worker , who says she has never taken a day off sick , stopped eating most other foods from the age of two . She now believes overeating causes more health problems than having a very restricted diet like her own . In a typical day , Miss Swindells will have two bowls of Rice Krispies with milk for breakfast , followed by a slice of bread and butter for lunch , and two bowls of Rice Krispies again for dinner . ‘ I think doctors overestimate the amount of vitamins that we need to be healthy , ’ she said . ‘ I think it is about how much you eat , not what you ’ re eating. ’ In a typical day , Miss Swindells will have two bowls of Rice Krispies with milk for breakfast , followed by a slice of bread and butter for lunch , and two bowls of Rice Krispies again for dinner . Consultant dietician Sian Porter said : ‘ It might not sound like it but Natalie is actually getting a pretty balanced diet . She will also occasionally eat milk chocolate , ready salted crisps and chips . Although she consumes fewer than half of the recommended 2,000 calories for women Miss Swindells still has an active lifestyle . She lives in Macclesfield with her boyfriend Daniel Walsh , 26 , who she says has grown accustomed to her strange eating habits . ‘ He ’ s pretty cool with it , ’ she said . ‘ When we first got together he tried to make me eat different things but it didn ’ t last very long . It was just pointless . Everything he made me try I didn ’ t like. ’ In fact , the last time she tasted a vegetable was 18 years ago , when her mother tried to make her eat a roast dinner – and failed . Consultant dietician Sian Porter said : ‘ It might not sound like it but Natalie is actually getting a pretty balanced diet . She ’ s getting protein and calcium from the milk and of course Rice Krispies are fortified with lots of vitamins and iron so this could explain why she ’ s stayed so healthy. ’ But nutritionist Dr Carina Norris warned : ‘ Her diet is lacking massively in minerals and vitamins . It is miles from any dietary recommendation. ’ ÷ Each Kellogg ’ s Rice Krispie is made from a single grain of rice that is toasted . ÷ The breakfast cereal has added sugar , salt and barley malt flavouring , as well as added vitamins and minerals . ÷ A small , 30g serving of Rice Krispies contains 115 calories of energy ( 6 per cent of the recommended daily allowance ) , 0.3g of fat ( less than one per cent of the RDI ) , 26g carbohydrates ( 3g of which is sugars ) 0.3g fibre and 1.8g protein . ÷ Rice Krispies arrived in British shops in November 1928 . ÷ The brand ’ s famous Snap , Crackle and Pop elf characters first appeared on cereal boxes in 1941 . ÷ Jonathan Ross made his television debut in an advert for the cereal aged ten in 1970 . ÷ In 1963 , the Rolling Stones recorded a song for a TV ad for the cereal .
