Diet before filiming question???

[1fitgrl]

Hi Cathe,

I'm going to be going to Mexico for my 5th year Ann. I'm already very fit & lean, but would like to tighten things up a bit more before my vacation. I was wondering what your diet is like before you start filming. Do you only allow for a certain # of starchy carbs p/day & when do you start your "stricter diet" in preparing for filming. Oh, & when your done filming, do you treat yourself & eat whatever for a couple of days? (Ha, I'd probably be pigging out!)

Thanks,

Amanda

Hi Amanda! Have a great time on your vacation. Since you are fit and lean you won't need to do much tweaking to your diet.

I'm a hard one to gauge by. I don't diet too strictly because I need to "survive" the heavy filming demands. For this reason I don't overly cut back on my carbs. Overall, I just get cleaner with my diet. The carbs are still in my fruits and veggies, the starches are still in my rices and yams and spelt breads, and my proteins are very lean. My food is either boiled, grilled, or steamed. I have slow cooked old fashioned oatmeal with a shot of Blue agave nectar pre-prepared for reheating (or cold if I'm desperate, wink) for a quick sugar fix. Also peanut butter on a sliced granny smith apple with cinnamon sprinkled on top.

Happy 5th!
