She loves and enjoys her food and works out a lot. Nevertheless, in the end of the week, she goes out, eats at a fabulous restaurant, and forgets about her diet plan for a day. She seals her cheat day with a glass of great wine. And just like any individual, she too has her share of tough times in keeping in shape. However, she firmly says no to all types of pills and magic drink.

Her reason is simple. She wants to promote a healthy body image to young fans by being a good role model to young girls. She wants to send a message to young adults and teens that they do not have to be skinny to be gorgeous. For her, muscles are beautiful; and so are strong bodies, working out and eating healthy foods.

To her fans and followers, she shares her slimming secrets: to eat three sensible meals and three healthy snacks a day for six weeks. The six meals are designed to fire up the metabolism to burn off more calories while feeling full all throughout the day. On the seventh day (which you can choose which day) is a reward day. The following are her menu sample.

1. Breakfast - This meal starts up the day and fuels the metabolism. Jessica’s selections include:

a. Oatmeal prepared with skim milk and diced apple and pinch of cinnamon and a glass of orange juice.

b. Slice of whole-wheat toast topped with one small size of canned sardines in tomato sauce and a glass of an apple juice.

c. Omelet prepared with three egg whites filled with tomatoes and a glass of grapefruit juice.

2. Mid-morning snack – Jessica’s choices include a handful or unsalted almond or a piece of banana fruit.

3. Lunch meal – Consists of:

a. Four ounces of lean chicken with a handful of whole-wheat pasta and thoroughly chopped vegetable combination. One-half of a baked potato with tuna and corn to be served with green vegetable salad that used lemon and olive oil dressing.

b. Mixed salad of beans derived from 14 ounce-can of mixed beans, celery, sliced peppers, grated carrots dressed with lemon and olive oil.

4.  Mid-afternoon snack - Biel chooses a tablespoon combination of seeds such as sesame, pumpkin, or sunflower and a piece of any fruit to serve the afternoon snack.

5. Dinner – Jessica’s choices are:

a. Small-sized grilled lean pork steak sided with roasted vegetables, fruit salad with 3 teaspoons of low-fat cream, 4 ounces of diced lean meat or Quorn sided with stir-fried vegetables and whole-wheat noodles or brown rice.

6. Evening snack – two slices of whole-grain crisp breads or oatcakes with hummus and a glass of any fruit juice.

Apart from this eating style, Biel recommends performing regular exercise three times a week for half an hour per session. Jessica’s personal trainer reveals that Biel works out 6 days a week alternating with body and cardio workout. For three days, she focuses on muscle development and toning with lunges, crunches, squats, core work, and lightweight with high reps to work on shoulders, triceps, and biceps. The other three days concentrate on cardio exercise.

Regular exercise combined with non surgical procedures like infra red energy, magnetic therapy, vacuum pump massage, light and electricity treatment and lymphatic drainage will help you lose weight and get a toned body.

Infra Red (IR) Energy is electromagnetic radiation that gives out heat to a body part. The radiation stimulates the surface of the body and heats it through a process of conversion. This helps in strengthening blood circulation, while providing nutrition to the tissues. IR rays are used to sculpt the treated area by consuming energy which leads to fat burn and weight reduction. There are Infra Red heating pads, body shaping blankets and lamps available in the market.

Magnetic therapy promotes the removal of substances that induce pain, leading to a decrease in pain. The magnetic field also helps in improving blood circulation, decreasing muscle tensity, spasm and inflammation.

Light therapy or phototherapy treats skin conditions by exposing it to artificial light wavelengths. It is effective in body slimming, treating acne vulgaris, vitiligo, seasonal affective disorder (SAD), depression and neonatal jaundice. Each light color produces a different effect. Red light stimulates and revitalizes the skin tissue, improves blood circulation, removes wrinkles and acne spots. Yellow light stimulates the nerves and revitalizes the skin and digestion. Blue light makes you feel cool and refreshed, reduces blood pressure and tightens the skin. And the green light has a positive effect on anxiety and depression while improving the body’s gland function.

Lymphatic Drainage therapy promotes a healthy lymphatic system. The lymphatic system is essentially a network of vessels and ducts that remove toxins from the body. This therapy ensures a free flowing lymphatic system by using electrodes that send gentle pulses to stimulate the lower half of the body.

Vacuum therapy uses a vacuum pump to gently apply suction that treats cellulite deposits.  Cellulite is those horrible lumps usually found on the stomach, thighs and buttocks. It’s basically a collection of fatty deposits that are most embarrassing, especially when you’re in a swim suit! This therapy also unblocks the lymph nodes, tones the muscles and stimulates blood circulation. Vacuum lymphatic equipment is available in the market.

Light and Electricity treatment is used to stimulate acupuncture points, improve blood circulation, activate body parts with bad lymphatic circulation and eliminate toxins.

So now that you know your options weigh the benefits and chose the right solution for yourself! All the best!
