Scarlett Johansson's Trainer Reveals Her Carb-Cycling Routine

The 41-year-old actress has been through a whole lot as her successful career in the film and entertainment industry has progressed.

 

However, throughout the years, she's been known as a fit and attractive woman, wowing people with both her acting skills and impressively fit physique. More attention has been paid to her figure over the last decade, as she became a Marvel performer, playing the Black Widow, and was encouraged to bulk up and get extra fit to portray a superhero.

 

Scarlett's personal trainer, Eric Johnson, has spoken to various media outlets over the years about her health and fitness routine, and recently dropped her love of 'carb-cycling,' a method of eating that allows people to enjoy carbs without going overboard.

 

"She cycled through days of high carbohydrates and low fat consumption, versus low carbohydrates and higher fat while maintaining protein intake," he told Harper's Bazaar.

Scarlett's Trainer Reveals Some Of Her Favorite Meals

Like many other fit celebrities, people have wondered what exactly it is that the blonde bombshell eats in order to stay fit and keep up her figure. Luckily for 'ScarJo' fans, her trainer shared some of her favorite meals throughout the day.

 

She focuses on unprocessed foods and plans well-balanced meals that also match her carb-cycling plan. For instance, she prioritizes clean and lean sources of protein, like salmon and turkey burgers, and keeps some form of green veggies in as many meals as possible.

 

The mom-of-two's go-to breakfast is reportedly an omelet with oatmeal and fresh berries, and, according to her trainer, she fasts for approximately 12 hours, improving how she feels as well as preventing any late-night binging.
