For a pro-athlete, model, or actor, being fit is part of the job requirement. For a pro-athlete, high fitness could mean high performance. And for entertainers, fitness could mean sex appeal which translates to more sales.
When one is neither an entertainer nor an athlete, the motivation to maintain a fit body, especially all year round, might be small. But thanks to Instagram (and social media), people have turned fitness into a full-time job.
But, beyond that, fitness is really for oneself. Beyond the vanities that are associated with it, being fit could translate to being healthy—especially internally; from reduced cholesterol, reducing the chances of cancer cells to increasing the metabolism and strengthening the heart.
Physically working out is a way to keep fit, but there is a saying that goes: “one cannot out-train a bad diet.” What you put into your body is a major factor in being fit.
We could learn a thing or two from these celebrities’ diets for a fit body.
Idris Elba’s Specific Food Plan
Most celebrities have specific diets, but Elba’s diet is a bit rigorous. Elba has admitted to being allergic to a range of foods. In addition to that, he noticed that some foods he eats were working against his metabolism. Foods like pasta and rice. Elba stays off drinking beer, as well.
Elba starts his day with a good breakfast. But when he’s on the go, a plate of cereal with two eggs is used to kick start his metabolism. He has admitted to being a
Mean toast maker
He has a good ration of veggies, fruits, and animal protein. Unlike some other celebs who are strict with their diets, Elba allows himself a Snickers Bar every now and then.
Beyoncé’s Ultra-Healthy Diet
Who could forget Beyoncé’s diet plan leading up to her Coachella performance? After the birth of her twins, and within the months leading up to the performance, Beyoncé worried that she had gained too much weight. In the Netflix documentary, Homecoming, Beyoncé admits to a rather severe diet:
No bread, no carbs, no sugar, no dairy, no meat, no fish, no alcohol
This kind of diet could be unrealistic and, for many, might only be sustained for a few days or weeks.
Beyoncé’s usual diet is mostly plant-based. This means lots of vegetables and fruits. She also admitted to going on a cleanse for 14 days. A diet where she drinks a beverage made of water, lemon juice, maple syrup, and cayenne pepper.
Note that Beyoncé’s diets are for short periods and not to be a regular diet.
