Cameron Diaz may be in the Caribbean filming Knight and Day with Tom Cruise, but that hasn’t stopped her from getting in a yoga workout (photo above) and relaxing with friends during her down time. In past interviews Cameron often speaks of her love for the outdoors and that she prefers exercises such as hiking, snowboarding and surfing so it’s only natural to see her in the great outdoors striking a few yoga poses as she has a holistic approach to exercise. She said,

“I admit I do hire a personal trainer as well, but for me working out is a big part of keeping mind and body together.”

Diaz also mentioned that she trains three times a week apart from her yoga workouts. When it comes to her eating habits, now that she’s 37 she can’t eat fattening foods such as fried chicken and onion rings like she used to do because she realizes that ‘insides rebel against you.’

Do you constantly feel the need to snack on something all the time throughout your day? Then snack the healthy way like Cameron Diaz does – on the Lunch Box Diet.

Created by British trainer Simon Lovell, the Lunch Box Diet received quite a bit of attention in 2008 (when it was first launched) and appeared in glossy magazines in the UK, helping chronic snackers lose or maintain their weight.

The diet allows you to eat whatever you want for breakfast and for dinner, but you’re only allowed to snack on what’s the lunch box during the day. Filled with 60% vegetables, 30% protein and 10% dressing, the Lunch Box Diet balances your blood sugar levels, eliminating your cravings. Carbs are a big no-no, unless you’re following a fitness program too.

“It’s really important because it speeds up the body’s metabolic rate which helps us to burn calories more efficiently,” says Lovell in the BBC interview above. “So by eating more often you’re losing weight, which is fantastic!”

Cameron Diaz always looks great.  She’s always wearing a smile, looks healthy and has a positive disposition.  But what’s her secret to her ultra-toned arms?  Her trainer, Teddy Bass, gave People Magazine readers some inside tips on how she does it. His recommendation is a three-step arm workout.

1.  Reverse flies – Do 15 to 20 reps by stepping into a lunge and raising arms parallel to shoulders.

2.  Tricep kickbacks – Do 10 reps per arm.  In a lunge stance, lean forward with a flat back and extend weights behind, close to the elbows.

3.  Bicep curls – Do 15 to 20 reps of traditional bicep curls in standing position.

According to Bass,

“Arms shape up faster than any other body part. You’ll see changes after two to three weeks!”

Two to three week is just in time for the heat of the summer when tank tops and strapless dresses are a must.  Get lifting!
