8 Foods Celebrity Fitness Trainers Won't Eat
You might be surprised by the foods they avoid…
Tara Stiles: Alcohol
If you want to erase a few years from your face, then stop with the fancy cocktails, says yogini Tara Stiles: "No one wants to hear this one, but if you want
your body to operate optimally and look fantastic—and younger—avoid alcohol." If Tara's client, Brooklyn Decker, is taking this advice, then it's clearly working! When it comes to weight loss, giving up
alcohol is a must for Tim Rich, personal trainer with Crunch gym. Rich says alcohol is nothing but "empty calories" and suggests that those looking to lose a few pounds ditch drinking for 21 days; after that, limit drinks to a few per week. Rich says
he only drinks "a few beers a month."
Harley Pasternak: Grapes and Bananas
Two foods noticeably missing from celeb trainer Harley Pasternak's 5-Factor Diet are grapes and bananas. Harley, who
counts Katy Perry and Lady Gaga as clients, says, "No one is going to live a shorter life if they have bananas or grapes." Still,
he recommends that his clients choose healthier fruits. "I tell my clients to stick to fruits that either have edible skin, edible
seeds, or citrus—bananas do not have edible skin, nor do they have edible seeds really, nor are they citrus. Most of the fiber
and nutrients that are in a fruit are in a fruit's skin. A banana is just the densest piece of fruit that you can put in your body,
and since it doesn't have much fiber, it won't keep you full." As for grapes? "Grapes have a special sugar in them called dextrose, which is the highest glycemic sugar that you can possibly put in your body."
Jeanette Jenkins, Jackie Warner, and Valerie Waters: Processed Foods, Especially Refined Carbs
This was a big one for celebrity trainers Jeanette Jenkins, Jackie Warner, and Valerie Waters. Waters, who has worked with
Jessica Biel, sticks to the mantra, "If a food item has ingredients you don't recognize or can't pronounce, you probably
shouldn't eat it." Warner says that "everyone has to understand that bread, crackers, croutons, things like that, that's sugar.
As soon as it's in your system, it processes straight to sugar, then straight to fat." Jenkins, trainer to Kelly Rowland, steers
clear of processed foods because they "create inflammation in the body and increase the risk of disease."
John Damon: All Soda, Even Diet
YogaTone trainer Andrea Cirignano; Stephania Greco, a personal trainer and group fitness instructor with 24 Hour Fitness;
and celebrity trainer John Damon, who works with Whitney Port and Kristin Cavallari, say that everyone should eliminate
soda from their diets—this includes diet soda, too. For Damon, soda just doesn't make sense: "It has no redeeming qualities." (We couldn't agree more.) Drinking soda has been linked to several health issues like dental decay, bone loss, and hypertension. It's also loaded with sugar—not a good thing for any healthy diet. Diet soda doesn't fare much better: Studies
link the consumption of diet soda to both weight gain and an increased stroke risk.
Steve Moyer and Yumi Lee: It's Not What You Eat; It's How Much
While trainer Steve Moyer is against eating trans fat, he follows the rule of moderation — eat too much of anything, and the
weight will come. Regardless, he feels strongly that the quality of food should generally be healthy. Yumi Lee, who works
closely Jessica Alba, feels the same and says her client follows the 80/20 rule to maintain a healthy weight. "You can't be 100 percent all of the time, but you can be 80 percent all of the time," says Yumi.
Teddy Bass: Refined Sugar
In addition to processed foods, Teddy is big on steering clear of refined sugars. Our bodies desire fresh, organic foods for energy
and fuel, he says. Once you load up on the proper foods, you'll be primed for Teddy's arm workout!
David Kirsch: Fried Foods
David is a firm believer in steering clear of fried, fatty foods — of course, what sometimes tastes the best is the worst for you.
Trainer Jonathan Ross agrees and says fried foods are something he almost always steers clear of, saying they're "completely destructive to the body." Fried foods are widely available (and cheap), making them hard to steer clear of, but the amount of trans fat
they contain should be enough to scare anyone, he says.
Jackie Warner: Yogurt
Jackie Warner says that if you're looking to lose weight, "get away from yogurt completely." For Jackie, most yogurts on the market
are filled with sugar — her number one food vice and the reason "people are heavy and sick in this country." While we agree with
Jackie that many of the yogurts on the market are brimming with sugar, Greek yogurt is a must in our book!
