How does Scarlett Johannson stay slim?
Some celebrities follow dangerous diets or harmful habits to maintain the line, but it is not the case of Scarlett Johannson who keeps in shape thanks to a balanced diet and physical activity. We are going to know what her secret is.
Some years ago, Scarlett Johansson, said in an interview that she did not follow any diet at all and that her diet, in her own words, consisted of "Burgers with cheese from Burger King and pizza of anything as long as it does not have pineapple or anchovies" . Of course, she said that in 2005 when the actress was only 21 years old. At that age, one can eat practically anything and stay slim with almost no exercise since the basal metabolism is very high since growth has not yet been fully completed.
She herself had stated multiple times that she was not a gym rat, that she only knew them on the outside, and that she had not dieted in her life. Logically with this life plan and the decrease in the metabolic rate that occurs over the years, in 2011 at the age of 27, she had increased considerably in weight, so much so that even her boyfriend Sean Penn seems to have demanded that she take care of his diet and practice sports, which led him to have to change his diet and lifestyle, if he wanted to continue wearing a sexy figure. So now she combines a hypocaloric diet and sports to keep her line.
What diet does she follow?
It had been speculated that Scarlett Johansson, on the recommendation of her co-star Gwyneth Paltrow, had undergone the strict macrobiotic regimen that the latter follows and that it has led her to be hospitalized several times due to how restrictive it is. She was very upset by these speculations and worried that someone might have some kind of eating disorder after reading this publication.
Scarlett Johanson has changed her eating habits to a low-calorie diet that includes white meats, such as chicken and fish, vegetables, fruits, and cereals such as oatmeal. This diet includes healthy foods rich in fiber, antioxidants, healthy fats and proteins. She does not deprive herself of desserts, but she takes only a teaspoon or two, to indulge herself, but without eating too much. In this way, her diet is varied since she does not eliminate any food group and prevents her from lacking nutrients.
She distributes meals eight times a day in small portions, which stimulates the metabolism and burns fat faster and better. Even when she goes out to eat out of her, she comments that she takes her food to take the proper portion of food that she should consume.
Low-calorie diets are ideal for losing weight, but they must include all nutritional groups and not be too restrictive, since if we lower the calories ingested daily a lot, our metabolism can suffer and cause us to take on all the weight lost once we leave the diet. The ideal is to achieve a healthy way of eating that we are able to include in our daily habits and we can maintain it for life.
What sport do you play?
Due to the films in which she has participated, she learned the benefits of martial arts, and she uses them not only to lose weight, but to keep fit and reduce stress levels and strengthen her cardiovascular system. So she practices daily martial arts that help her keep her body lean and toned.
There are no healthy magic ways to stay in shape. She should always take care of her diet, eating everything, but in the right proportions and doing some physical activity that helps us increase caloric expenditure and keep our muscles toned and our cardiovascular system healthy.
