Stay a Size 2 All Summer: Blanca Blanco's DASH Diet Success Story
BLANCA BLANCO'S SUMMER SIZZLE: ACTRESS REVEALS HER SECRET TO STAYING SLIM AND TONED
Blanca Blanco is making headlines with her stunning physique, and we're about to spill the tea on how she's been keeping that tiny size 2 frame all summer long. The Washington state-born bombshell has been open about her diet and exercise routine, and trust us, it's a game-changer.
The Finding Nicole actress recently revealed that she's been following the highly-recommended DASH Diet, which focuses on reducing sodium intake and emphasizing whole foods like fruits, vegetables, and low-fat dairy. Blanco told The Scholarly Note.com that she loves this diet because it allows her to cut out sugar, a habit she can easily kick. "I start my day with oats with berries or eggs with avocado, and black beans on the side," she shared. "For lunch, I have a salad with chickpeas and tuna, and dinner is chicken or salmon with chickpeas and plenty of veggies." Snacks are just as healthy, with raw veggies, nuts mixed with raisins, and fat-free yogurt making up her go-to treats.
But it's not just about what she eats - Blanco also credits her daily 20-minute exercise routine for keeping her core strong and waistline small. We're talking crunches, planks, and lunges, folks! "I do this exercise without fail every day because it keeps my tummy flat," she confessed to The Scholarly Note.com. "It's so easy and I change it up sometimes. If I do the plank first, it's easier; then I go into the lunges and leave the crunches for last because they're painful, I'll be honest." We're impressed by her dedication!
But what really caught our attention was Blanco's candid talk about her body and its needs. She revealed that she eats carbs only once a week, which might sound extreme to some, but trust us, it works. "My body is not used to having a ton of carbs, but it is hard to completely cut them out," she explained. "So if I have carbs once a week, my body doesn't get used to them and can process fast." Genius!
We also got the scoop on Blanco's views on weight loss medications like Ozempic. While some celebrities swear by them for quick fixes, Blanco is not one of them. "I would never use it for weight loss," she said firmly. "I know Ozempic does wonders for people suffering from Diabetes, but I'd rather sweat it out at the gym than rely on a pill." We love her commitment to natural methods!
As if that wasn't enough, Blanco shared some surprising news about her exercise routine. She's ditched intense cardio for strength training - and she's doing it all from home! "When you maintain muscle mass, then you not only look better but you move better and your risk for injury is lower," she explained. "I've been focusing on mobility, strength, and stability. It's so easy to do; I keep free weights at home and use the machines at the gym." Talk about dedication!
But what really got our attention was Blanco's impressive weight loss journey earlier this year. She revealed that giving up meat (yes, you read that right!) has been a game-changer for her waistline. "I think it has been really good for my waistline because my dresses are all loose now!" she gushed. "And I don't miss the steaks, which can be too heavy sometimes." We're loving this healthy and balanced approach!
Blanco's latest film release, Finding Nicole, hit Apple TV+ and Amazon Prime on May 6, with her playing Katarina Lopez in a true-life story of overcoming domestic violence. We can't wait to see more of her stunning work!
So there you have it - Blanca Blanco's secret to staying slim and toned all summer long. It's not just about the diet or exercise; it's about finding what works for your body and sticking to it. Who's ready to follow in her footsteps?
