LOSE WEIGHT
Jennifer also watches what she eats and adheres to a strict diet. J-Lo said, "I try to watch what I eat. I know what's good for me, and I know what's bad for me, and I try to stay away from the bad things, but like anybody I indulge once in a while. If I'm trying to lose weight, I just cut carbohydrates from my diet." Regarding her diet, Jennifer also says, "I don't have anything banned from my diet and Im not one of the health freaks who believe in not eating any sugar or leaving dairy products out. There are a number of weird diets out there but I dont follow them. I eat almost everything, only in moderation. Maybe Im lucky; when I overeat I just get seriously sick, the next day is absolutely ruined, and with my busy schedule I just cant afford it. Apart from the fact that its not really pleasant to feel sick because you stuffed yourself the day before, I never went on a diet. I always lived quite healthy without a special diet and it seems enough for me. I believe in having a really well-balanced diet, a little bit of everything, and I think if youre fit and healthy, your body will let you know what it needs. Its just that a lot of people have forgotten how to listen to it." Jennifer makes sure to draw one very strict line. She says, "I dont drink, never, and I dont smoke and dont do drugs," she stresses. "I never started drinking or smoking. When I was little, my mother drummed it into me how bad it is for you and it stuck somehow. My little sister also doesnt drink or smoke. Everybody knows smoking is bad for you, and drinking [is bad] as well. I dont need to drink to have a good time." J-Lo makes sure to relax and spend some quality time getting rejuvenated. She said, "I love spa treatments, massage and facials, though they're not something I get to do all the time. I also love to dance, to sleep, to do nothing, to be in the sun. I adore Miami - as soon as I get off the plane, my blood pressure instantly goes down, and I get into a whole different mood." |
