Katherine Heigl’s Diet and Exercise Plan
Katherine Heigl has slimmed down lots since being on Grey’s Anatomy thanks to her trainer Harley Pasternak. He put Katherine on the 5-Factor Diet and got her to do 25-50 minute workout sessions that included cardio and mix arm, leg and ab moves in between. Her 5 Factor diet plan consists of 5 small meals a day that contain:
Katherine’s 5-Factor Diet Plan (courtesy of Life and Style magazine):
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 protein (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 non flour 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.
