subject: Celebrity Secrets To Looking Great [print this page] Have you ever wondered how celebrities are always attending fancy parties or dining out at great restaurants yet still manage to look great and not gain weight?
Many bring their own, specially prepared meals; some even hire personal chefs who travel with them. How does this translate to your routine? Next time you are invited to a party or get ready to hit the road, follow these celebrity healthy eating tips.
Plan in advance. It might not sound exciting, but some bring travel-size rice cooker with them, to cook their own brown rice. Others pack single-serving sizes of organic oatmeal in ziplock baggies. Fruits, nuts or whole grain nutrition bars are easy to bring along. In other words, be prepared and always have something healthy in your purse to snack on, just in case you can't find the right place to have a meal.
Eat before you go. Never arrive at an event or a restaurant hungry. Make sure to keep healthy snacks on hand so you're not tempted to eat fat laden appetizers.
It's ok to cheat now and then, so long as you limit your intake. If your at a birthday party and you really want a piece of cake, go ahead. But choose the smallest piece and only have a bite. The same can be said for french fries; have a small handful, not the entire basket! What to do when it's a buffet? Fill only half a plate and resist going back for seconds.
Go for a walk. If your hotel doesn't have a gym, don't just sit around. Try exploring on foot, check out an interesting neighborhood, go sightseeing or even walk around a mall! The goal here is to get some exercise while having some fun too.
Skip on cocktails. It's almost always a temptation to have have a glass of wine or a festive cocktail at any event. But realize that you are drinking your calories and even if you are eating healthy, that one glass of wine will hurt your waste line and possibly even your health.
