Hilary Duff, who's often videotaped by paparazzi when hitting the gym, boasts a healthy diet plan and great workout ethic.
Her every move is captured in a camera lens, which can be stressful if you're having a chubby day. Due to the fame, Hillary became obsessed with getting her body in perfect shape.
Hilary Lost Weight - That's Good Right?
Nope, she got criticized for that too. "Everybody speculates that you're not eating or are doing drugs. You're damned if you do, and you're damned if you don't," claims Duff. She dropped her strict protein and vegetable diet and leveled off to a perfectly mixed diet.
Hilary Duff's Diet
She added fruit to her protein and veggie diet. Here's an example of a typical day...
Breakfast
- Kashi cereal with 2 percent milk. Or, substitute egg whites with feta cheese.
- Latte with 2% milk.
Lunch
- Grilled chicken Caesar Salad mixed with 1 tbsp reduced fat dressing. Or, substitute Grilled ahi tuna instead of chicken.
Dinner
- 1 Grilled Tuna Steak (or try Citrus Tuna Steaks)
- Veggies
- Sometimes sushi (one of Hilary Duff's favorites)
Celebrity Snack Time
When snacking, Hilary eats some nuts (that doesn't sound good, but we'll leave it). Other favorite Hilary Duff snacks are apples, brie cheese. She slightly cheats the diet when she digs into some chips and salsa.
Working out with Hilary Duff
Being a former gymnast, Hilary watches out for "bulking" side effects of lifting. You know how gymnasts look like Oompa Loompas sometimes because they're so short and built? She tries to avoid that look.
"I couldn't just go to the gym like my friends and lift weights. I would get these muscles in my legs. I felt boyish."
While she does hit the gym often, she avoids heavy weight lifting. Her genes cause her to put on muscle easily. Instead, Hilary is big on Pilates. We're talking hour long in-home workouts, 4 times a week. That's aside from her gym visits.
She also swims (which is good for crosstraining by the way). When on tour, she's lucky enough to have access to swimming pools wherever she goes. Swimming laps has been a big help in keeping her in shape while traveling all over the world. She alternates freestyle, breast, butterfly, and sidestroke daily when traveling.
