Tyra Banks in Shape

Tyra’s fat picture bothered her so much that she’s been on a mission to get the word out about eating healthy. From Shape magazine via Jen’s Juice:
“I want everyone to eat healthy foods,” she stresses.

“Sometimes the only thing in my kitchen when I got home at night was Tang and microwave popcorn, so that was my dinner,” she says. Today, she eats plenty of fresh fruits (her favorites: mango and papayas) and salads with chicken, shrimp, or other protein, and she snacks on crudités with onion dip.

She recently hired a part time chef to help her out in the evenings….

“He makes meals and leaves them for me when I get home,” she says. “I realized I needed to take better care of myself, and I knew this would be the best way to do that.”

“Whole months went by when I didn’t work out,” she admits. “Months! But then I’d get on a kick and become really motivated and do three miles every day on the treadmill for weeks.”

“Now I’m much more diligent,” she says. “I do treadmill intervals – I mix walking and running. Or I just run outside.”
