‘To really change your body, you need to put in two hours of exercise, six days a week. But it’s not just the amount of time you spend working out that’s important, it’s how you spend it. You need to be smart and have a really good designer working on your body.’
Tracy Anderson, Madonna and Gwyneth Paltrow’s Personal Trainer

‘Carbs aren’t “bad”. You just need to make sure you eat the right ones. Too many refined carbs will cause your blood sugar levels to spike, which will bring on hunger pangs fast and make you put on weight – slow release ones have the opposite effect. Here’s a quickie guide: Yes to brown rice, fruit with skin (apples, pears, all berries) and beans; No to fruit juice, white rice, processed foods and anything with added sugar, like certain cereals.’
Patrick Murphy, Eva Longoria’s Personal Trainer
