Olsen Twins
For anyone who has ever wondered what the Olsen twins eat for breakfast, now you can know! The twins made an appearance on the Oprah show earlier this week and discussed what they eat in the morning.
Ashley reportedly gets up at 7am (on a good day), does an hour of yoga, and has a double-toasted New York bagel with the insides scooped out spread with light whipped cream cheese. She claims that she isn’t a fan of regular milk and instead sticks to soy milk in her coffee.
Mary-Kate, on the other hand, says she enjoys a spinach and cheese omelet and toast around 11am. She didn’t elaborate further than that.
Oprah then mentioned that she was currently sticking to a protein-only diet and has eggs, avocado and tomatoes for breakfast. Ashley said “Oh, I couldn’t do that.”
So there you have it… of course, I’d be more interested to see what they eat throughout the day, personally!
Miranda Kerr
Have you ever wondered how Victoria’s Secret model Miranda Kerr stays so fit and trim? I did, so I did some research into it and found some answers.
According to her trainer (Justin Gelband), Miranda and the other VS models work out 3 to 4 times per week for 75 minutes at a time. They spend 30 minutes on their legs, 30 on their core, arms and balance, and 15 minutes on stretching.
A typical gym workout for Miranda is first 5-10 minutes warming up, then she goes for a 5 kilometer run with her trainer. Back at the gym, they do a combination of boxing, resistor balls, and weight work for her legs. She does leg presses, calf raises and leg extension exercises to keep her legs long and lean-looking.
“One of my proudest moments was seeing recent photos of Miranda and how strong her body looked. She couldn’t wait to walk the runway and show the world that being lean, toned and fit is something you can be, without having to be skinny and anorexic.” But does she ever have a fat day? “Of course, we all have them,” Miranda admits. “I have days where I feel bloated, especially when I get off a plane, but a good night’s sleep really helps. If I sleep, then go for a run, I always feel better.”
As for diet, Miranda’s trainer encourages her to eat a lot of healthy carbohydrates and lean protein for breakfast - foods like old fashion oatmeal, egg whites, veggies, cottage cheese, muesli, yogurt and fruit. Then it’s salads and chicken or fish for lunch, and a combination of fish, turkey, veggies and chicken for dinner.
Jessica Alba
Alba, 26, works hard to maintain her figure — in fact most of her family are overweight. Her secret? "I try to work out every day for 45 minutes to an hour,'' Alba has said. ''I start out on the treadmills or elliptical machine for 10-15 minutes to get my heart rate up to 180 beats per minute. Then I do 50 lunges and crunches. Next I get back on the machine for another 10 minutes. Then I work on shoulders, biceps and triceps."
And those abs? It's reported her trainer, Ramona Braganza, gets her to do 300 crunches, then three sets of lower back presses on a back extension machine.
"I try to work out as much as I can. But the biggest change in my body came when I stopped eating processed food. I don't eat fast food or anything that's packaged or loaded with salt and preservatives. I eat as many organic and fresh foods as possible. I don't cut out cheese, I don't cut out carbs, I just eat fresh foods. It's made a huge difference in how I look and how I feel."
