Diet Advocate

She’s the artist who once grabbed international headlines with a story that said she had taken out an insurance policy on her backside. At 40 years old, singer, actress and mom Jennifer Lopez looks hotter than ever, so this means she must be doing something to stay in such enviable shape. The secret, it would seem, lies in portion control and working out, as How Celebrities Lose Weight informs. For starters, Jennifer is proud to admit that she has and would never go on a fad diet no matter how warmly recommended it is by everyone else, specialists or not. In fact, the singer is happy to reveal she has never gone on a diet in her life because she’s found on her own that it’s best to just exercise portion control. This allows her to eat a little bit of everything, thus eliminating cravings and the feeling of being deprived.

“Occasionally, when she’s trying to lose weight for a role, she limits her carbohydrate intake. She also makes sure to draw one very strict line on bad habits, that’s why part of her healthy weight loss diet plan is to not drink nor smoke and she doesn’t do drugs either. Peterson, her fitness trainer also revealed that the songstress/actress has a weight loss program that uses the meal delivery service, Freshology, and sticks to 1,200 to 1,400 calories a day. And like all good celebrities, she makes sure to include lean proteins, fruits, vegetables, good fats and low glycemic carbs in her diet plan,” HCLW informs.

“Jennifer works with celebrity fitness trainer Gunnar Peterson, who also worked closely with stars such as Angelina Jolie and Penelope Cruz on their fitness training exercise program. According to J.Lo’s fitness trainer, she’s not one to blow off her fitness training exercises just because she’s working 18 hours a day on the set. He said that J. Lo allocates about 60-90 minutes for exercise, two to six days a week,” the same e-zine says of how this is one star that is extremely dedicated to staying in top shape.

A typical workout session for Jennifer Lopez can include any of the following, as per the same source: dancing, yoga, cardio or weight training. Each come with its advantages, so Lopez and her trainer try to mix them up as much as possible, thus ensuring maximum results and preventing her from getting bored as well.
