She Doesn't Diet
"I actually had a very unhealthy relationship with food," Bianca, who developed bulimia while running track in high school, revealed to Women's Health. "I was very obsessive. Food was actually my enemy. I wasn't using it to fuel my body." Now, she avoids diet and restrictions. "I feel like every woman has this moment where they have to figure out what works for them. For me, I don't do diets because I find myself becoming a little obsessive." She promotes "everything in moderation. I don't believe in overindulging or in depriving myself of anything."
She Eats Depending on Her Workouts
Bianca focuses on consuming the perfect ratio of protein, carbs, and fat depending on her activity level. "I've had to learn that food is not my enemy. I work out once or twice a day and I'm lifting super heavy weights. I need fuel to keep going," she told WH.
She Never Skips Breakfast
"I'm not a morning person," Bianca admitted to WH. "But it doesn't matter if I wake up at seven, eight, or noon, I'm still having breakfast food first thing when I wake up." Her focus? "Breakfast is when I try to focus on getting lots of protein in," she said. "I might do a piece of cinnamon toast to get some carbs in there. I'm also a big coffee drinker, since I'm not a morning person it helps me wake up." Protein smoothies, protein pancakes, and boiled eggs are other go-to meals.
She Eats Lunch Before a Workout and Dinner After Another
Bianca works out an hour after lunch. "I give myself time because I don't like working out on a full stomach," she told WH. "I usually try to get something pretty quick, like a pre-packaged salad, so I can just open it up and eat a salad for lunch." Then, she eats dinner post nighttime workout. "I also work out late at night pretty often, and so after I'm doing high intensity cardio, lifting really heavy weights, and using up a lot of energy, I try to eat lean meats," she added.
She Does Strength Training
"My training is basically strength training" Biana told Muscle & Fitness. "I do agility training. I do a lot of CrossFit-type of stuff and we have a great coach at the Performance Center, Sean Hayes, who does all types of powerlifting and just general strength." "CrossFit can be very effective. Working out at high intensities for shorter periods means that the exerciser can likely achieve great results while spending less time exercising. Also with high intensity interval training, one can expect to see a greater increase in aerobic capacity than what is typically seen with more traditional training. CrossFit is focused on preparing participants for the movement challenges of life, so along with aesthetic reasons, there is practicality for choosing this mode of exercise," says Harvard Health.
