Courteney Cox's Diet Addiction

Courteney Cox will be staring in an ABC pilot “Cougar Town”. The last series I’ve seen her in was “Friends” and she’s changed a lot since then. She may be older, but she surely is beautiful. What’s her secret to keeping in shape?

Courteney used to be a model and was once on the cover of People magazine’s Most Beautiful People issue. The 44-year-old actress realizes, as all celebrities over 40, that they need to work harder to look good on the red carpet. So, what does she do?

She works out five times a week and that includes cardio, weight training, hiking, and running. The actress also practices Pilates and Budokon, the new hot stuff in Hollywood celebrity’s agenda. "Cameron Shayne's blend of yoga for toning and martial arts for power is an unbeatable combination. I have found a workout that's fun and effective,” says Courteney.

Courteney has always been more slim than fit, but now it seems she’s mostly trying to eat healthy and keep her body weight at a certain level. She’s known to have been on a lot of diet: Blood Type, Atkins, Carbohydrate Addict, etc. The last one was the most efficient of all for Courteney and the actress liked it because of the fact she could eat carbohydrates for dinner.

The actress starts her day with scrambled eggs, a splash of milk and two strips of lean bacon or pancakes filled with cottage cheese. For lunch, she eats grilled salmon or steak, with steamed vegetables, or a green salad. Dinner also includes dessert or fruits. Most of the times, she eats roast lamb and veggies or roast potatoes. She avoids sodas or sugary drinks, but instead she drinks a lot of tea and black coffee. This is the diet Courteney Cox is addicted of and, with plenty of exercise, it keeps her healthy and fit.
