What Is the Sarah Jessica Parker Diet and Exercise Routine?
Parker is known to give in to her food cravings, but overall she has followed very healthy diet plans in the past, including the Hamptons Diet and the South Beach Diet. Let’s take a look at the various parts of the Sarah Jessica Parker diet:
Hamptons Diet: Dr. Fred Pascatore, former medical director of the Atkins Medical Center, designed the Hamptons Diet. The diet is high protein, high quality, and emphasizes low-carb foods and healthy fats, especially macadamia nut oil. The nut oil contains 80% monounsaturated fat, which helps speed up the metabolism. The diet is also free of processed foods. Portion sizes and calorie counting are not part of the diet program. Parker was one of the first celebrities to try the Hamptons Diet.
What is a sample of the Hamptons Diet plan? Breakfast may include yogurt, bran, and mixed berries. Lunch may include a roast beef or turkey wrap with a piece of fruit. Dinner may be some lean beef, like a top sirloin steak, with veggies and grilled pineapple. Snacks may include nuts, vegetables, or unsweetened yogurt.
South Beach Diet: Renowned cardiologist Dr. Arthur Agatston created the South Beach Diet. The diet focuses on eating healthy foods without starving the body, and it encourages three meals, two snacks, and one protein-rich dessert each day. The diet includes good carbs, lean protein, good fats like those found in nuts, and low-fat dairy products like yogurt. The first phase of diet brings down your blood sugar levels. As a result, your cravings for sugar and starches come under control. After two weeks, you begin to include fiber-rich vegetables and fruits. At this time, your cravings for unhealthy junk food disappear. In phase 2, you also start to include good carbs, white-meat chicken, and lean beef. Phase 3 is your lifetime commitment to follow a wholesome diet while eating certain treats in moderation.
