I'm finishing up another round of articles on celebrity workouts and celebrity diets.
So far I've researched and written about the diets of Jessica Biel, Jessica Alba, Jason Statham, Heidi Montag, Eva Longoria, Matthew McConaughey, Lauren Conrad, Ryan Reynolds, Mario Lopez, Katherine Heigl, and the actors from the movie 300.
On top of that, the strippers from "The Stripper Workout" article eat like this also.
My leanest clients eat like this.
The leanest pro athletes eat like this.
In fact, this is just how lean people eat.
Here is what all celebrity food plans have in common:
1) They eat often – at least 5 mini meals per day
2) Every meal has protein.
3) They eat lots of vegetables.
4) They eat unprocessed, low glycemic carbohydrates like fruit, brown rice, and oatmeal.
4.5) They have free meals, and they are totally Zen about it. When they eat chili fries, they eat chili fries. But they don't feel like they "totally blew their diet". They just go right back to it.
There it is, that is how lean people eat.
The four laws. And a bonus 1/2 law.
The four and a half commandments.
And here you thought that diets were complicated.

Hey Josh! Thanks for another great article. I always need reminding about eating better and enjoying cheat meals when I have them! 🙂
Speaking of eating more veggies..I really struggle with this one b/c I get so sick of knawing on baby carrots or eating steamed bags of frozen veggies, ugh. I get my fruit in but not my veggies. Any suggestions you/your clients use to make eating the veggies easier/less boring?
Thanks again, you rock!
