Alison Sweeney’s Diet Tips for Busy Women

We’re always finding a reason why we can’t be as healthy or as slim as celebrities, saying they have personal trainers and chefs round the clock working with them. But Alison Sweeney isn’t one such celebrity. Between her Days of Our Lives and The Biggest Loser TV shows and being a full-time mom, Alison has picked up a few tricks on how to stay healthy even when life gets a little crazy.

The 33-year-old always keeps healthy snack foods like vegetables at least within an arms’ reach in case she wants a snack. And when she does get the nibbles, she chooses complex carbohydrates. Alison says whole grains keep you feeling fuller and energized for longer than refined carbs like bagels.

Something that’s helped keep the actress on her healthy eating plan is knowing her weaknesses – knowing her cravings.

“I lose sight of my diet when I’m around savoury snacks, like tortilla chips, so I don’t keep them in the house.”

But when she does get those cravings, she satisfies them in a smart way – by taking a small bite of it instead of replacing it with something that’s healthy but that you know isn’t going to satisfy you.

“I’d rather have one small bite of something I’m craving than a fat- and sugar-free version of it,” she says. “My best friend gave me an ice cream maker, so I can whip up a thick, creamy dessert and be satisfied with just a spoonful or two.”

Since being the host of the reality TV weight-loss contest, Alison says she’s started to read food labels and has learned how misleading packing information can be. In her own experience, a ‘personal pizza’ that’s supposedly for one person actually serves eight.
