To stay in shape on a daily basis, you don’t need to be a nutrition expert: your energy expenditure must be adapted to the calories you eat. But when you have a series of events and snacks, how exactly do you maintain your wasp waist? Princess Charlene of Monaco admits to focusing on a few key foods.
Charlene of Monaco’s eating routine finally revealed
The wife of Sovereign Prince Albert II of Monaco, mother of twins and former swimmer, is undoubtedly very busy on a daily basis. The Princess of Monaco spends the majority of her time traveling (she has to honor various official commitments around the world) and seems visibly not a fan of the gym. She prefers to train “differently”, by practicing various outdoor activities (swimming, paddle, cycling, active walking, etc.) as soon as her schedule allows.
“Today I walk, I cycle, I swim too, but not as much as before“, she confided to the magazine
Gala.
A certain moderation in physical activity, which, after the age of 40, can easily encourage the accumulation of small excess pounds. And yet, this is not the case. At the age of 48, the mother of Jacques And
Gabriella displays a slender, toned and perfectly shaped figure. So what are its secrets?
According to the American media Women’s Healthshe has very little time to take care of herself. “There’s no real consistency – my days are never the same and I can’t really choose what I eat at events”, she confided.
However, the wife of Prince Albert II readily admits to favoring certain foods on her plate.
“I try to eat lots of fish and fresh fruits and vegetables. And I drink lots of water – it’s important to stay hydrated.”
Good habits validated by health experts: fish is a product rich in omega-3 and fatty acids, nutrients essential for the proper functioning of the body.
The pescetarian diet: a beneficial routine for cardiovascular health and figure
Charlene of Monaco’s eating routine closely resembles the pescetarian diet, consisting of fish, seafood, vegetables, cereals (preferably whole), oilseed fruits, legumes and fruits. In other words, only good things for the body!
- Fish and seafood provide so-called “complete” proteins: they contain the nine amino acids essential for cell renewal and the maintenance of muscle mass;
- With this type of diet, the risk of vitamin B12 deficiency is almost zero;
- Fish and seafood are also a good source of vitamin D, essential for bone strength and the proper functioning of the immune system;
- More broadly, a diet predominantly focused on seafood has benefits for cardiovascular health: by limiting saturated fats, it helps reduce the risk of hypercholesterolemia and hypertension;
- Also rich in fiber, vitamins and antioxidants, this diet supports digestion and immunity;
- Finally, it is often associated with better weight management.
So many good reasons to draw inspiration from it, without falling into frustration or excess.
“Food fatigue is one of the main reasons why many women give up on their healthy diet. Your willpower is like a muscle: if you work it for too long without taking a break, it will eventually give way. Don’t be too strict with yourself, a dessert every now and then isn’t so bad.” concluded the princess.
We can only applaud!
