Jennifer Aniston has revealed she uses the 16:8 fasting diet to stay in shape.
The 50-year-old is known for loving a good workout, but now she has dished the secrets to her eating plan – and it involves an eight-hour window.
Jennifer is a fan of 16:8 intermittent fasting – where you fast for 16 hours and limit your meals to your chosen eight-hour window.
Speaking to Radio Times, the Friends actress said: ‘I do intermittent fasting, so no food in the morning.
‘I noticed a big difference in going without solid food for 16 hours.’
Intermittent fasting is said to assist weight loss, control blood sugar levels and boost brain function.
However, nutritious food is still necessary during the eight-hour window, as eating junk food or over-eating can negate the positive effects.
Jennifer likes to stay in bed until 9am – well for some – and even when she’s not fasting, she starts her day with a celery juice, followed by meditation and a workout.
Plus, the star works out five times a week… so yeah, intermittent fasting just won’t cut it alone.
Her The Morning Show co-star Reese Witherspoon is also a gym bunny, working out up to six times a week and saying: ‘I just have a green juice and a coffee in the morning.
‘Jen knows so much about health and fitness that I always defer to her. She’s great at wellbeing advice.’
Perhaps we’ll be getting some wellbeing advice on social media, now that Jen has joined Instagram.
The actress – whose Friends character Rachel Green has been deemed the show’s worst employee – managed to crash the platform as she racked up 6.9 million followers in less than 24 hours.
Jennifer, who has only uploaded four posts so far, now has a whopping 15.5 million followers – 10 million more than bestie Courteney Cox.
This girl has clout.
Jennifer and Reese’s interview can be read in Radio Times, out today.
