Focusing on her diet, Jennifer believes that ‘abs are made in the kitchen’ and doesn’t just rely on the gym to stay fit. Tracy Anderson, renowned trainer to the stars, shared details of her diet in 2018, emphasizing the importance of clean and organic eating for Jennifer’s demanding lifestyle.

Starting her day with a 90-calorie chocolate Body Lab Shake with quinoa milk or water for breakfast, Jennifer steers clear of caffeine. Admitting that she often feels hungry by lunchtime due to a light breakfast, she embraced a ten-day detox diet with partner Alex in January 2019, cutting out sugar and carbs.

Jennifer’s lunch usually consists of healthy salads, while her favourite recipe includes kale, pumpkin seeds, queso, shallots, and olive oil. Veganism played a role in helping her shed baby weight, as she disclosed in 2014.

For dinner, Jennifer usually enjoys a boneless, skinless grilled chicken breast with sautéed brussels sprouts and baked yams. A dietitian suggested adding grass-fed butter to the yams for extra flavor, and even a cookie as an indulgence.

Incorporating more protein sources like chicken breast, beef, salmon, and sea bass, Jennifer ensures she stays satisfied longer. Her dedication to a balanced and wholesome diet, combined with her energetic dance routines, is the secret behind her age-defying physique.
