While promoting the new Apple series The Morning Show, Jennifer Aniston revealed she follows an intermittent fasting plan, otherwise known as the 16:8 diet.
"I do intermittent fasting, so no food in the morning," Jennifer, 50, told UK outlet Radio Times. "I noticed a big difference in going without solid food for 16 hours."
FYI: There are lots of different ways to do intermittent fasting. You can follow a 16:8 plan like Jen, which requires fasting for 16 hours and eating normally for eight. Or, there's the 5:2 dietfasting two days per week, and eating normally for the other five. In general, experts agree that intermittent fasting may help you lose weightbut it could also leave you fatigued and hangry.
Halle Berry also swears by an intermittent fasting diet:
Reese Witherspoon, 43, on the otherhand, said she just prefers to eat light in the a.m.: "I just have a green juice and a coffee in the morning."
It'll come as a surprise to no one that Reese and Jen both follow vigorous workout routines, too. They both said they work out at least five time a week. Jennifer, who wakes up at 9 a.m., said she aims for five workouts a week (starting her day with a celery juice, plus meditation and a workout), while Reese rises at 5:30 a.m. and hits the gym by 7:30 a.m. "I probably do that six days a week," she said.
Btw, it's totally safe to work out while fastingas long as you feel okay doing so, experts say.
Whatever Jen and Reese are doing, it's clearly working!
