Inside Leo Varadkar's fridge as Tanaiste shares candid photo from kitchen

Tanaiste Leo Varadkar has revealed what's inside his fridge and perhaps unsurprisingly, it is extremely organised.

The Fine Gael leader shared a candid snap on his Instagram stories of the contents of his fridge on Monday morning.

The photo shows lots of meals divided into lunch boxes and they were carefully stacked. The photo comes as no surprise as the former Taoiseach has previously admitted to going through a health transformation in order to lose weight.

Mr Varadkar wrote: "Monday morning. Lunches all ready for the week ahead. Also the Kylemore cheese I picked up at our conference on Saturday."

The Tanaiste has previously opened up about adopting a healthier lifestyle after being unhappy with his eating habits.

“I used to be very overweight, I was 114 kilos with a 40-inch waist once upon a time and have managed to improve that over the years," he said in 2019.

“I’ve also given up alcohol for Lent which I think will help because obviously alcohol is full of sugar.

“After you drink a few glasses of wine, you’re much more likely to have the dessert, eat something you shouldn’t eat, but yeah and I probably do, during the day, snack on crisps and sweets.

“You convince yourself you’re not having a lot of them but... if I were to put them all on the one plate during the day, it would be a lot.”

He also shared how he used to end up snacking on unhealthy foods despite his best intentions.

He said: “In theory I follow a low carb, high protein diet. In reality that’s not what happens. Largely because I’m out and about a lot. I’m not really eating at home very much.”

Mr Varadkar said he trains four times a week, which he says is his ‘time-out’ which includes weights and high intensity training.
