Julia Louis-Dreyfus: Fit and Fabulous at 48!
Like many women, Julia is constantly searching for the middle ground between indulgence and discipline when it comes to maintaining her weight. “Some people have it easier than others,” she says. “Unfortunately, I have to work at not being fat. I’m always trying different things to see what sticks.”
Her everyday strategy- Have breakfast. “It’s hard for me to eat in the morning,” says Julia. “But I recently discovered something I love: two eggs fried in olive oil and a slice of whole-wheat toast with honey. It tastes so good, and I don’t get crazy-hungry before lunch—that’s when I start to make bad food choices. I’ve found the key to healthy eating is finding foods you really like. That way you don’t feel ripped off when you can’t have a fattening doughnut or whatever you’re craving.”
Her green twist- Buy local. “I love vegetables— I should be a vegetarian, and I feel guilty saying I’m not,” says Julia. “But I like meat and chicken. So I buy organic foods whenever they’re available and shop at my local farmers’ market whenever I can. There’s something cozy about it. It’s a very friendly environment; you get to know the farmers. Plus, it’s better for the earth because the food is grown nearby, not flown in from some faraway place like

I can't believe how awesome she looks at 48! I hope I look that good when I hit that age. Seinfeld is one of my favorite shows, she was great on it. I like how she says to give in to your splurge. I try to eat healthy, but I'd definitely agree that it's good to reward yourself with a treat every once in a while :)
