A week before a shoot I go into skinny mode: two work outs a day paired with the quinoa diet. I rotate my workouts between yoga, circuit training, running & 200 crunches before bed. I’ll start my morning with a protein smoothie, snack during the day then make a veggie and quinoa medley for dinner (always before 7:30pm).
Quinoa is exceptionally high in protein, amino acids, iron, fiber & magnesium (key for everything from mood support to electrolyte balance). Being fiber-rich it fills you up and gives you slow-burn energy (meaning you feel full longer, thus reducing your appetite). Finally, quinoa’s high protein helps you burn fat and calories. The quinoa diet works every time!

Daily go-to healthy snacks: gluten free granola with blueberries & almond milk, apples & almond butter, celery & hummus, avocado toast, quinoa, KIND bar or smoothie.
Here's my favorite quinoa recipe: coconut veggie quinoa
