English actress Minnie Driver one of Hollywood’s hottest commodities. This 5 foot 10 brown-eyed beauty, who proved her acting chops with an Academy Award nomination for her performance in Good Will Hunting, also got an Emmy award and Golden Globe for her performance in the television series The Riches. She may be in her 40s and with kids, but unlike most women who gain weight as they age, she’s done the opposite. She’s fitter than ever, and here, she shares her secrets for living healthily.
"It’s your choice. When I made the choice to be healthy, It became easy fro me to commit to it." She says. "I did it for myself, for my body, for my family."
Minnie Driver’s diet used to be the famous Atkins diet but now she shifted to the low carbohydrate diet. This actually works similarly with the Atkins diet but the rigid two-week induction period isn’t always followed. Minnie Driver’s diet includes eating meats, cheeses, fats, and certain green leafy vegetables and keeps the consumption of carbohydrates at a minimal amount.
She likewise doesn’t consume any foods that contain sugar, white flour, and starchy vegetables. This kind of diet actually is effective for weight loss purposes or maintenance of a person’s ideal weight as long as he or she consumes the allowable foods.
For Minnie Driver’s exercise routine, she works out with her personal trainers Rich and Helene Guzman. She loves to do belly dancing and Winsor Pilates and allots 2 hours a day, 5 times a week to workout together with her personal trainers.
Surfing and yoga are also part of Minnie Driver’s exercise routine which she claims to be more than just two forms of exercises.
"My church is surfing and yoga. If I can get in a surf or practice yoga then I will. Yoga’s great for when you’ve got a full brain and can’t stop the mind chatter," the 40-year-old actress said.
