Using Tracy and David’s blended methods, she finds new and fresh ways to stay in shape and in her own words, help ‘keep happy’.

Her famous dance moves are another way Jennifer stays in such phenomenal shape.

‘Dance has always been a huge part of my life and taking the time to move my body and do something that’s so good for me is key to my happiness.’

Speaking to US Weekly, Jennifer went on: ‘I don’t like doing it later; it’s harder to get there when I have my day going already…

‘I work out three or four times a week…

‘When I’m in New York, I work out with David Kirsch — he’s an amazing trainer. When I’m in L.A., I work with Tracy Anderson…

‘I like the balance that they both give me. They have two totally different approaches. I like switching it up with my body.’

‘By lunchtime, I’m starving’

Jennifer does not just devote herself to the gym, but also sticks by the adage that ‘abs are made in the kitchen’.

A number of insights into her diet have shown just how hard she works and Jennifer even admitted she is ‘left starving’ by lunchtime.

Trainer to the stars Tracy Anderson gave details on her diet on her website in 2018: ‘I have her eating very clean because she needs really good fuel for all the things that she’s doing…

‘It’s all organic and it’s all very well thought out, with the balance of very high-quality proteins and a lot of nutrient-dense food… everything is fresh.’

So what does J.Lo eat in a day?

Breakfast  

Speaking to US Weekly in 2016, she revealed her breakfast comprises a 90-calorie chocolate Body Lab Shake, revealing: ‘I do it with quinoa milk or water’, and admitted caffeine is a strict no go: ‘I haven’t had caffeine in years.’

Lunch 

She admitted that due to a small breakfast, she is left hungry later in the day, saying: ‘By lunchtime, I’m starving’.

In January 2019, Jennifer and Alex undertook a ten-day detox diet. They cut sugar and carbohydrates out of their diet…

He revealed they ate healthy salads during the detox, while continuing to enjoy the meals in their usual diets.

Jennifer also shared one of her favourite salad recipes with People Magazine. The meal included kale, toasted pumpkin seeds, crumbled queso, shallots, and a drizzle of olive oil.

Veganism helped Jennifer lose her baby weight, as she told Extra in 2014: ‘I’ll be honest with you guys, since I had the babies about six years ago, I had that really stubborn eight to ten pounds on me.’

Dinner

In a food diary recorded for People, Jennifer revealed her dinner will consist of: ‘1 boneless, skinless grilled chicken breast with: 1/2 cup sautéed brussels sprouts, 1/2 cup baked yams with sea salt’.

Dietitian Keri Glassman spoke to the publication about her food, saying: ‘Her chicken dinner is an excellent whole food meal…

 ‘But she could use a little more fat—a little grass-fed butter on the yams would taste great. A cookie as an indulgence is definitely okay for a hot mama like J.Lo!’

Veganism 

Her trainer Dodd Romero revealed that since then, she has since added chicken breast, grass-fed beef, salmon and sea bass to add to her protein intake and keep her fuller for longer.

All together : Speaking about her kids’ diet in Harper’s BAZAAR, she said: ‘We eat a lot of green vegetables, asparagus, Brussel sprouts, broccoli and kale’

Speaking about her kids’ diet in Harper’s BAZAAR, she said: ‘We eat a lot of green vegetables, asparagus, Brussel sprouts, broccoli and kale…

‘I love to cook a lot of stuff, I love cooking Puerto Rican food because that’s what I grew up on…

‘When I first moved to L.A., I called home and I was like, ‘Mommy, I miss your cooking,’””I asked her to show me how to make the recipes, so she taught me over the phone.”

Snacks 

Jennifer revealed she ensures she never goes hungry on the run, she revealed to Hello! Magazine: ‘I always carry fruit and veggies with me to give me something to snack on between meals’.

On her guilty pleasures and allowing herself cheat days, she went on: ‘We’re all human..

‘I don’t think you should beat yourself up if you make a mistake or if you have a potato chip…

‘Everyone wants a cookie or a piece of cake or fried chicken every once in while’.

Water 

Hydration is also key, as she stated: ‘Drinking plenty of water, especially before a workout, can help you push harder and get more out of your exercise routine… I make sure I drink plenty of water…’
