Katherine Heigl’s 5 Factor Diet Plan

Katherine Heigl has slimmed down while on the hit series Grey’s Anatomy with the help of celeb trainer Harley Pasternak and his 5 Factor Diet Plan. Katherine’s lunchtime workouts include 25- 50 minute sessions that begin and end with cardio and mix arm, leg and ab moves in between. Her 5 Factor diet plan consists of 5 small meals a day that contain:

1. Lean protein such as turkey
2. Healthy carbs including fruit, veggies and whole grains
3. 5-10 grams of fiber (such as 1 cup of berries or half a cup of cooked veggies)
4. Healthy fats (found in salmon or nuts)
5. Water of tea

Here’s a peek at Katherine’s 5 Factor Diet Plan courtesy of Life and Style magazine:

Breakfast - French toast 5 factor style. In a nonstick skillet, heat 2 pieces of whole-grain bread dipped in egg whites. Top with 1/8 cup of nonfat ricotta and cinnamon. Or try 1 cup of Kashi GoLean in 1 cup of nonfat milk.

Snack - Berry Smoothie. Blend a cup of berries with 2 cups of nonfat milk. Add crushed ice and half a scoop of whey or soy portein (makes 2 smoothies). Or try a slice of pear with 2/3 cup of cottage cheese.

Lunch - Katherine’s favorite is a tortilla pizza. Layer a nonflour tortilla with tomato sauce, Roma tomatoes, turkey, pepperoni, basil, and nonfat mozzarella. Warm up in a toaster oven. Another option is tossing grilled shrimp, spinach and feta cheese into a greek salad.

Snack - Celery and carrot sticks in hummus, or in a spinach dip made from nonfat sour cream and nonfat mozzarella. Or try a slice of whole grain toast topped with 1 cup of low-fat berry yogurt.

Dinner - Marinated sea bass over a cup of brown rice or edamame or herb crusted salmon on a bed of lentils. 5 factor version of spaghetti and meatballs is spagehetti squash with ground turkey breast.

Celebrity Diet Doctor Weigh In…
The “5″ in 5 factor is little on the gimmicky side.  Otherwise it’s a sensible plan.  Up the fruits and veggies and you’ll lose even more weight, but I’m not going to argue with the results.  Katherine looks stunning.
