Jennifer Love Hewitt’s Fitness And Diet Regime

August 20, 2008

Is Jennifer Love Hewitt becoming the next skinny celebrity? Not quite, but she shares her diet and exercise routine with her trainer in Us Weekly magazine which has lead her to lose 18 pounds in 10 weeks.

Jen’s diet consists of 1,500 – 1,800 calorie a day diet. She is allowed to eat who grains, but not after 2pm. She is mostly allowed to snack on protein, veggies and fruit. A typical meal plan includes mixed fruit, Greek yogurt, or cottage cheese for breakfast.

For lunch Jen munches on turkey, tomatoes, sprouts, mayo and mustard on Ezekial sprouted bread. Dinner includes an 8oz roasted chicken with steamed veggies. She can snack throughout the day on a teaspoon of peanut butter, laughing cow cheese, and carrots and broccoli.

Along with a healthy diet, Jennifer is working out 3-4 times a week. She works with a trainer, Sant’Angelo, who gets her started with ten minutes of cardio (jump rope or treadmill). Then she does 45 minutes of toning – Jen uses a kettlebell weight, doing bicep curls, squats, kickbacks, and full body planks with a 15lb or 18lb weight.

When she’s on her own Jen does 40 minutes of straight up cardio such as roller skating (her favorite!), incline training on the treadmill, or swimming. She finished off her workout with pushups, body planks, lunges, and bike crunches.

Good job Jen!
