The diet that allows Shakira to lose weight and sweep the Super Bowl with Jennifer Lopez
The Colombian only eats fresh produce and carries out a tough daily work routine almost every day of the week
Becoming a public figure is a double-edged sword: it can provide great benefits but at the same time, it also has its obligations. Being always scrutinized, not being able to go unnoticed or being harassed by self hunters (autograph hunters are an endangered species) are some of the most common problems. Because when we meet a famous person, the first thing we do, after looking him up and down, is to see if he is more or less tall than we imagined him, if he is thin or has excess weight or if he is perfectly groomed. Going down to throw the garbage in sports clothes is something that many of these characters cannot afford since they have the paparazzi at the door.
Therefore, the ‘celebrities’ have to always be in shape and cannot afford some luxuries compared to the rest of the mortals. Wearing an always perfect figure is paramount, especially if we talk about world-famous characters like Shakira, who she swept this Sunday with Jennifer López in the Super Bowl halftime show in the United States.
It swept the Super Bowl
The 12-minute performance of the two artists of Latin origin was a real gale and both showed to be in overwhelming physical shape. But behind that force on stage there is a lot of work: Shakira is a person who takes care of herself daily and, at 43 years old (she celebrated them this Sunday), she can show off her physique thanks to a healthy and balanced diet and a lot of sports.
Shakira is not a person who needs to lose weight often, since she has been following the same work routine for years: together with her coach, Anna Kaiser, she explained a few days ago to Prevention that "every day is different because I want to make sure that I I'm preparing not just for the Super Bowl, but for each day ahead. " But how does she do it? The first thing to keep in mind is that Shakira works physically six days a week and only rests on Sundays. Even when she has to record or spends many hours in the studio or rehearsals, she doesn't skip her sports schedule. Kaiser explains it like this: "Last week he had a very long dance rehearsal in the afternoon, so we concentrated on an hour of sheer strength in the morning. Other days he has even longer rehearsal sessions, so we do a lot of work. short of only 20 minutes. "
Shakira only turns on her phone when she has finished her morning training and after spending time with her children
But when she has more time, the Colombian singer trains harder, either with physical circuits, high intensity HIIT exercises or with dance steps. Anna Kaiser believes that "it is really important that both your mind and your body constantly change your exercises so that you keep your mind alert, do not get bored and have a workout that works for you that day so you have to achieve that day."
Wholesome and healthy meals
No matter what time of year we are, Shakira continues to play sports. But her coach reveals one of the singer's weight loss tricks: "Knowing if your body is changing, if you are getting results and how hard you are working in class is very important." For this reason, she always wears an activity bracelet with which to record all her movements of her day.
Another of the Colombian's secrets is that she never turns on the phone until she finishes her training and spends time with her children. It does not matter if she is preparing for the Super Bowl, for a tour or that it is any day: her routines do not understand that and she wants to take care of herself and spend time with her children above all else. The work will come later. For the halftime performance of the NFL final, Anna Kaiser discovers that Shakira's diet hasn't changed much: small, nutrient-dense meals with no room for sugar or dairy. But the Colombian is not a woman who gives herself many gastronomic joys when she does not have a performance to prepare for.
Shakira does not like food supplements, so all the food she eats must be fresh. Kaiser prepares the menus with the artist's cooks and an example of her daily breakfast might be "eggs or avocado with olive oil, tomato, sea salt, a fruit juice, protein or sometimes vegetables. For lunch, fish and fresh vegetables or a salad with many colors. In the afternoon, as she is usually busy, she usually has artichoke, leek and aubergine soups, etc. And for dinner, also fish and vegetables ". The singer also has little "vices" of hers and the biggest are the pork chops. Kaiser acknowledges that "pork chops are my least favorite food, but she likes them. Sometimes she also has dark chocolate, but really pure with little or no sugar." This is how she takes care of a song megastar at 43: giving herself a whim, but remembering that she has to be prepared every day to give her best.
