Madonna’s New Diet Revealed
We’re all dying to know what Madonna does to stay in such great shape, especially at her age. Her trainer shares some secrets with us about what Madonna is really doing to keep up her svelte shape! Keep reading to find out.
So how does Madonna have such a toned body? The answer is a short-term diet that ensures a weight loss of 3-5 pounds a week over six weeks, combined with one to two-hour workout routines six times a week.?”It’s perfectly healthy”, Madonna’s trainer Tracy Anderson told US Weekly. “My formula works on everyone as long as they’re consistent”, adds the personal trainer, who has a studio in L.A and promises she can shape pretty much any body into a “teeny-tiny dancer type”. The key to Anderson’s fitness regime (and the key to Madonna’s ultra-fit physical shape) is to constantly change the routine and mix dancing with other types of cardio training (such as treadmill sprints, jumping rope or running on a trampoline) as well as various other types of crunches and weight lifting. The constant switching will prevent any group of muscles from bulking up.
As for the aforementioned diet, it bans processed food, dairy and just about all kinds of spices, which Anderson says are “bloating and upset your digestive system, which causes you to store fat”, as well as any oil and sauce intake. Alcohol and caffeine are out of the question. The daily water intake, on the other hand, should be between 1.5 to 3 liters. Also, Anderson recommends only one serving of whole-grain carbs a day, preferably in the morning. Here is a 2-day sample from Madonna’s menu that you could follow with ease.
