The secret of Halle Berry's slender line!
Halle Berry has been faithful to a certain diet and training regime for years, which is why she is always in top shape.
Halle Berry is known to have an amazing figure, even though she is in her sixties, and she does not hide the secret of her appearance from the public. She believes that a healthy diet and regular training are the key to success.
The actress has always been a supporter of healthy living and regular physical activity, so it is not surprising that she believes that the foods we eat are a very important part of our lifestyle. She made significant dietary changes after being diagnosed with diabetes at the age of 22. Due to her illness, the actress easily said goodbye to many foods, and some of them are:
Sugar
‘In the early twenties, just before I was diagnosed with diabetes, I was addicted to sugar. I started the day with sweet flakes and various types of cornflakes, after which I would sweeten with candies. I was constantly under the influence of sugar, 'said Halle Berry.
After learning about her illness, she turned over a new leaf and eliminated sweets from her diet, and reduced her fruit intake with desserts. The first few weeks were not easy for her, she once admitted that during that period she felt severe headaches and mood swings, but after three weeks she lost her desire for sweets , and her taste changed completely, but also her general health.
Carbohydrates
‘ I gave up rice, even integral, pasta and bread, and I can tell you I never regretted it. I also learned a lot about the keto diet and replaced all caloric foods with their healthier alternatives, ' said the actress.
Instead of rice, the actress eats cauliflower with butter, and she once admitted that she doesn't even feel the difference in taste. She replaced her once favorite pasta with zucchini noodles, so she manages to enjoy every meal.
Wine
‘I’ve always loved wine so it was hard for me to find an alternative to it. However, I was very happy when I discovered organic biodynamic wine without sugar and chemicals, 'says Halle.
These wines do not contain a lot of sugar, and even their percentage of alcohol is much lower. It took the actress time to get used to this taste, but today they are one of her favorite drinks.
What is her diet based on?
Many are more interested in what is on her daily menu. She skips breakfast and drinks a glass of freshly squeezed lemonade and coffee with a little coconut oil instead. After this ritual, Hale is ready to practice. She trains five days a week for an hour to an hour and a half a day.
Her first meal is between 12 and 2 pm, and the last one is around 9 pm because she is also a supporter of the 16: 8 method, according to which she fasts for 16 hours and eats for the remaining eight hours. This meal is usually right after a workout and consists of chicken with lots of vegetables, such as spinach or kale, or a few eggs.
‘I eat a lot of fresh vegetables, chicken, fresh fish and pasta. I avoid red meat and I have reduced my fruit intake because it contains a lot of sugar, 'Halle explained.
She snacks on fruits and vegetables during the day. Also, she likes raw, organic vegetables, like pieces of celery and cucumbers. As for fruit, her choices are blueberries, strawberries, raspberries and blackberries or avocados.
‘You can put a bunch of candy in front of me, but I’m not going to show the slightest interest. But I often indulge in blackberries and raspberries that have low sugar levels', Halle once revealed.
