‘I work out three or four times a week…
‘When I’m in New York, I work out with David Kirsch — he’s an amazing trainer. When I’m in L.A., I work with Tracy Anderson…

‘It’s all organic and it’s all very well thought out, with the balance of very high-quality proteins and a lot of nutrient-dense food… everything is fresh.’
So what does J.Lo eat in a day?
Breakfast

He revealed they ate healthy salads during the detox, while continuing to enjoy the meals in their usual diets.
Jennifer also shared one of her favourite salad recipes with People Magazine. The meal included kale, toasted pumpkin seeds, crumbled queso, shallots, and a drizzle of olive oil.
Veganism helped Jennifer lose her baby weight, as she told Extra in 2014: ‘I’ll be honest with you guys, since I had the babies about six years ago, I had that really stubborn eight to ten pounds on me.’
Dinner
In a food diary recorded for People, Jennifer revealed her dinner will consist of: ‘1 boneless, skinless grilled chicken breast with: 1/2 cup sautéed brussels sprouts, 1/2 cup baked yams with sea salt’.
Dietitian Keri Glassman spoke to the publication about her food, saying: ‘Her chicken dinner is an excellent whole food meal…
‘But she could use a little more fat—a little grass-fed butter on the yams would taste great. A cookie as an indulgence is definitely okay for a hot mama like J.Lo!’
Veganism
Her trainer Dodd Romero revealed that since then, she has since added chicken breast, grass-fed beef, salmon and sea bass to add to her protein intake and keep her fuller for longer.

As well as the amount of sleep, Jennifer also boldly stated that it is a must to remove make-up before bed.
She said: ‘I never go to bed without taking my makeup off, [and I use] night creams to keep my skin hydrated,’

Radiant: On her post-workout skicare regime, she said: ‘I always, always wash my face after a workout. That helps keep my pores clean and my skin feeling healthy. Then I’ll usually put on moisturiser and sunscreen, with maybe a little make-up if I’m going out or moisturiser and eye cream if it’s the evening’

She has previously detailed how she avoids ‘wrecking her skin’ and pays special attention to her routine to keep herself looking as young and fresh as possible.
On her post-workout skicare regime, she said: ‘I always, always wash my face after a workout. That helps keep my pores clean and my skin feeling healthy. Then I’ll usually put on moisturiser and sunscreen, with maybe a little make-up if I’m going out or moisturiser and eye cream if it’s the evening.’
On her skincare and the sunshine, she went on: ‘I’m rarely in the sun, but if I am, I wear a lot of sunscreen. I’ve never been one to take a lot of sun, which is why my skin has maintained itself. And I don’t drink or smoke or have caffeine. That really wrecks your skin as you get older.’
