Celebrity trainer and nutritionist Harley Pasternak's tips for eating a healthy diet
You’ve heard the saying before: “Abs are made in the kitchen.” But, are they really? Harley Pasternak, celebrity trainer to stars like Ariana Grande and Gwyneth Paltrow, told AOL that it depends on who you are.
If you eat extremely well but are sedentary all day, then abs will come from exercise, he explained. On the other hand, if you’re an exercise fanatic, but eat very poorly, then yes, you should change your diet.
- Walk at least 12,000 steps
- Getting at least 7 hours of sleep
- Unplug from technology for at least an hour
- Resistance train (even 5-10 minutes will help!)
- Eat three meals and two snacks filled with protein
