Katherine Heigl’s 5-Factor Diet Plan
Like most celebrities, Katherine Heigl has also jumped on the diet boat trying to slim herself as much as possible and look her best. Thankfully, she’s not starving herself or anything like that but rather following a very healthy diet combined with a great exercise routine.
According to sources, Katherine is on the 5-Factor Diet, developed by renown celebrity trainer Harley Pasternak. Katherine’s lunchtime workouts include 25- 50 minute sessions that begin and end with cardio and mix arm, leg and ab moves in between. Her 5 Factor Diet plan consists of 5 small meals a day that contain:
- Lean protein such as turkey
- Healthy carbs including fruit, veggies and whole grains
- 5-10 grams of fiber (such as 1 cup of berries or half a cup of cooked veggies)
- Healthy fats (found in salmon or nuts)
- Water of tea
Life and Style Magazine asked Katherine to give them a sample of her 5-Factor Diet plan and here it is:
Breakfast – French toast 5 factor style. In a nonstick skillet, heat 2 pieces of whole-grain bread dipped in egg whites. Top with 1/8 cup of nonfat ricotta and cinnamon. Or try 1 cup of Kashi GoLean in 1 cup of nonfat milk.
Snack – Berry Smoothie. Blend a cup of berries with 2 cups of nonfat milk. Add crushed ice and half a scoop of whey or soy portein (makes 2 smoothies). Or try a slice of pear with 2/3 cup of cottage cheese.
Lunch – Katherine’s favorite is a tortilla pizza. Layer a nonflour tortilla with tomato sauce, Roma tomatoes, turkey, pepperoni, basil, and nonfat mozzarella. Warm up in a toaster oven. Another option is tossing grilled shrimp, spinach and feta cheese into a greek salad.
Snack – Celery and carrot sticks in hummus, or in a spinach dip made from nonfat sour cream and nonfat mozzarella. Or try a slice of whole grain toast topped with 1 cup of low-fat berry yogurt.
Dinner – Marinated sea bass over a cup of brown rice or edamame or herb crusted salmon on a bed of lentils. 5 factor version of spaghetti and meatballs is spagehetti squash with ground turkey breast.
This is truly one of the best diets you can go on not only to lose weight but to feel better overall, have more energy and get the most out of life.
