Sarah Michelle Gellar is one of those celebrities that seems a bit more grounded, despite the fact that she too was a child actress. Recently, she deep dived with Self Magazine about what's it's like to be her...
Here are highlights:
Gellar follows a very strict eating plan that she summarizes in two words: good food. "I'm not much of a junk food eater. I like pretzels, but I'd rather have steak. I'd rather have a great meal. I'd rather dine.
It's a bit hard to believe Gellar puts away all that grub give that, at 5 foot 4, she's barely sample-size. But she works up an appetitive by being active virtually nonstop. As a child, she was ranked the third-best figure skater in New York state, and later she earned a brown belt in tae kwon do. Most recently, she's taken up tennis.
Usually I don't buy into celebrities saying that they eat a lot and don't gain weight, but somehow I feel like she's being honest. It seems she is just sensible about what she eats, but she'd never deny herself some tasty grub, especially since her hubby went to culinary school. Also, balancing off the tasty grub with some good old fashioned activity (skating and tae kwon do?!) is definitely a healthy way to live life. Plus, she's known to bike around New York City (man, I still love that bike) instead of using car, or a driver for that matter. Check out the rest of her great interview in the October issue of Self Magazine (on newsstands now).
and, they had a bagel breakfast today, and
although i snacked on one in the afternoon as well...I worked an extra 20 min at cardio! (and this was my strength training day haha)
I believe her. I don't understand the stars that obsess with their weight and their diets. Or the regular people who do as well. I'm 5'4" and 110 lbs, and the only thing I do to maintain this weight is to walk whereever I need to go (if I can) and dine on good food three times a day. Three decent size (not restaurant size) meals of real food (not lean cuisine, people) is all one needs.
