Star diet: What does Nicole Kidman do to stay in perfect shape? nutritionist answers

Having conquered the world of cinema, Nicole Kidman took over the fashion industry. She first debuted as a model at Balenciaga’s fall-winter 2022/23 fashion show and was recently featured on the cover of The Perfect Magazine, where she appeared in a non-standard look for herself – an ultra-short skirt and a Diesel top. Sculpted abs and biceps immediately became the subject of controversy. Fans are divided between those who believe that the ideal actress figure is the merit of plastic surgeons and retouchers, and those who are sure that this healthy lifestyle bears fruit.

Nicole Kidman answers with a smile that she has no secrets, diets and a specially designed menu, and she maintains her body only with regular physical activity. Marina Bessonova, nutritionist and specialist in nutrition and healthy lifestyle, will tell in her author’s column “Star Diet” how the mother of four children managed to stay in shape at the age of 55.

Actress nutrition rules

– Balance is the first and main principle of the actress’s lifestyle. He eats according to the 80/20 system, where 80% is healthy and wholesome food and 20% is everything else. But despite this, Nicole does not deprive herself of her favorite dishes. According to her in an interview with the Los Angeles Times, she eats almost anything, but in moderation.

– Food and a healthy relationship with yourself. It’s not always possible to stick to a healthy diet while traveling, but that doesn’t mean you should blame yourself. The actress is sure that you should not get hung up on such trifles, so she always takes an additional complex of vitamins and minerals on her trips to compensate for the possible lack of nutrients in the diet.

– Minimum alcohol. The actress practically does not drink, except in special cases. It treats alcoholic cocktails with great care, as they have hidden calories.

Breakfast

Nicole and her husband Keith Urban own a farm in Australia. Therefore, staying there, the actress always tries to include fresh dairy products, fruits and eggs in her diet.

For breakfast, she likes to make an omelet with a slice of fresh bread and jam from her own garden. In one of her interviews, the actress said that homemade freshly baked bread is her personal weakness, which she cannot deny.

Nicole always has a cup of coffee in the morning. And his most frequent order at Starbucks is the double foam cappuccino. If the star wants to pamper herself with something sweet, she adds chocolate chips to her coffee.

Dinner

Nicole is a true connoisseur of fresh Australian fruits and vegetables. One of her favorite national dishes is a salad of baked vegetables with dates and pomegranates, flavored with a dressing of olive oil and wine vinegar.

Other favorite pairings are the fresh seafood dishes and the Australian specialty grilled sausages served on white bread.

Dinner

If you haven’t figured it out yet, Nicole is a seafood lover. Largely because it is an excellent source of protein, calcium, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin D, iron and zinc.

One of the favorite dishes of the Hollywood actress is the legendary Italian pasta, shellfish (spaghetti alle vongole). Kidman eats it with green beans to add some vegetables to the dish.

Sport

When it comes to training, Nicole always prefers to run. She grew up in a family that organized and ran the City to Surf sports marathon. Growing up in such an environment taught Nicole to always stay active. She especially likes a morning run on the beach near the water.

When Nicole stays at her home in Nashville, Tennessee (USA), she starts each morning with a walk or jog around her neighborhood. And when they fly to Australia with their husbands, they replace running with swimming in the ocean.

With age, the actress began to include new sports in her daily activity: spinning (cardio training using a special exercise bike – Ed.), tennis and yoga. However, Nicole tries to keep the balance both in terms of nutrition and sports. He doesn’t tire himself with regular strength training, he just does what brings him pleasure. Kidman believes that only such an attitude towards sports can lead to a stable outcome.
