JENNIFER LOPEZ BEAUTY TIPS, Jennifer Lopez looks incredible after her 10-pound weight loss on a low carb vegan diet and showed off her sexy bikini body on Instagram Oct. 27, writing, "Soooo chilly this morning. I want summer back."
Lopez has been on fire since releasing her new single, "Booty," from her eighth studio album, "A.K.A." Last week, Jennifer performed with rapper Iggy Azalea at Iggy's sold-out concert in Los Angeles.
At 45, Lopez's anti-aging beauty secrets include a gluten-free mostly vegan diet and rigorous 90-minute workouts with her trainer, Tracy Anderson.
"She does the Tracy Anderson Method, which includes muscular structure work and between nine and 13 different exercises that change every 10 days, and dance aerobics as well," said Anderson. "I keep [her butt] toned and in position."
Tracy's workouts with JLo typically combine high-intensity cardio dance exercise with light strength-training using body weight and high repetitions done with tiny hand weights (three pounds maximum).
Lopez, a mother of two, recently lost 10 pounds in five weeks on a low carb, gluten-free vegan diet. Jennifer said she is no longer 100 percent vegan, but sticks to a mostly vegan diet because it has motivated her to eat more vegetables.
"The truth is, even if you’re 70-80 percent vegan, it’s so much better having those vegetables, greens, and plant-based stuff," said Jennifer, who recently released a tell-all memoir called True Love. "It’s going to change your life and health.”
Lopez said her foray into veganism was inspired by the 22-day vegan diet challenge Beyonce and Jay-Z undertook in December 2013. Beyonce and Jay-Z have since gone back to their regular eating plans, but Beyonce continues to eat one vegan meal a day, saying it helps her maintain her 65-pound post-baby weight loss.
Other celebrity vegans include Samuel L. Jackson, Demi Moore and Al Sharpton. They have all credited the plant-based diet for giving them more energy, helping them lose weight and staying youthful-looking.
Jackson, 65, said the vegan diet spurred his recent 40-pound weight loss and dramatically improved his energy and health. "I feel great," said Jackson. "I have a lot more energy than I used to have. I'm just trying to live forever."
