Carrie Wiatt, nutrition consultant to Hollywoods elite, works daily with celebrities like Fergie and other red carpet beauties to make their bodies are always camera-ready for high-profile events. Wiatt believes women can achieve many of their desired health and beauty goals by following a balanced and portion-controlled eating regimen and healthy lifestyle that is easy to maintain year round.
â¢FILL UP ON FIBER. Dietary fiber can also help keep you feeling full for longer. An entire medium grapefruit has 4 grams of dietary fiber, some of which is soluble fiber (pectin), which helps support healthy cholesterol levels. Enjoy half a grapefruit for breakfast and another half after your evening workout.
â¢PREPARE YOUR PORTIONS. Be mindful of portions by downsizing dishes at home. Measure correct portions the first time, so you have a visual blueprint in your mind.
â¢SHAKE UP SNACK TIME. Eating well is all about flavor, texture and variety. For an energizing afternoon snack, try pairing a fruit or vegetable you love with a serving of walnuts to add protein, omega-3 fatty acids and a satisfying crunch.
â¢EAT YOUR WAY TO GREAT SKIN. Your overall diet and health regimen may contribute to smooth, supple skin. The vitamin C found in Florida grapefruit and 100 percent grapefruit juice supports collagen production to help keep skin looking youthful, glowing and picture-perfect ready for whatever the day throws your way. Collagen breakdown in the skin may contribute to the appearance of wrinkles.
â¢EAT SMARTER. To regulate caloric intake, practice mindful eating instead of automatic eating. First, consult your brain: are you feeling hunger or boredom? Second, wait five to ten minutes after experiencing diet- derailing cravings to see if they pass. Finally, when its mealtime, take your time and monitor for satiety then stop when you are satisfied.
