From Calorielab.com Thank-you to Jim for this.... From Calorielab.com Hewitt drops 18 pounds, plans marathon Late last year the blogosphere got pretty mean about actress Jennifer Love Hewitt looking a little heavier than normal. At the time she said she was a size 2 and that she wasn’t fat, but she mostly worried about how the attention would affect image-conscious girls who saw the media calling her fat. While she says the two aren’t connected, she’s lost 18 pounds in the last four months with the help of trainer Stevie Sant’Angelo and a 1,200 to 1,500 calorie a day die that fills her with fruit, vegetables and whole grains and says she’s planning to run a marathon to celebrate turning 30. The trainer spilled Jennifer’s workout secrets to this week’s US Magazine. The star works out with her trainer for an hour three times a week and works out on her own, either swimming, roller skating or working on a treadmill. Instead of traditional weights she works out with kettleballs, and does plenty of lunges, donkey kicks and other lower-body work to avoid the pear shape that runs in her family. Trainer Sant’Angelo says Jennifer packs turkey sandwiches to eat on the set of her show “Ghost Whisperer” and has gotten the show’s craft service to provide more fruit and veggies. Other secrets to her success are having a great attitude, caring more about having energy than a number on her clothes, and skipping carbs after 3 p.m. |
