She Likes To Fast
Evans occasionally tries intermittent fasting, where she eats her meals within a specific window of time. "Many people try fasting to lose weight, but if this isn't something you can do forever – and if the plan isn't sustainable – then you may regain that weight," says Melinda Gong, RD, CDCES, CSOWM. "Intermittent fasting can help with weight loss because it may help you eat less overall. This is especially true if you eat sensible portions and choose balanced meals during non-fasting times."
She Focuses On Protein
Evans has previously said she prefers to get her protein through whole foods rather than shakes and supplements. "I don't drink protein shakes…low carb diet, only water to drink, chicken/steak, veggies, cardio and home workouts," she says.Â
She Takes Supplements
Evans likes to support her diet with supplements such as niacin and biotin. "No studies have proven that biotin supplements will change the appearance of your hair, skin or nails," says Courtney Barth, RD. "But some people find that taking a biotin supplement helps them boost hair and nail growth. It's usually not harmful to try biotin for thicker hair or healthier nails."
She Makes Breakfast Sandwiches
Evans likes to make egg-based breakfast sandwiches for her family. "Eggs are rich in protein, which is more filling than either fat or carbohydrate," says registered nutritionist Jo Lewin. "As a food choice, eggs score well, being high on the satiety index, a measure of how filling a food is. In fact, studies show that an egg breakfast is more sustaining than the equivalent calorie counted carb breakfast and, what's more, may help reduce your calorie intake later in the day."
She Avoids Fast Food
Evans avoids soda and fast food when she is in weight-loss mode. "Eating healthier lately! Cut out a lot of fast food, soda, and bread," she says. "I haven't been trying, but I am losing weight without working out! Feeling great lately. Focusing more on my mental health and body has been more than amazing and very rewarding in my opinion."
