Celery Juice First Thing

LeCroy says she likes to start the day with celery juice, touting its skincare benefits. "Although celery has a high water content, it contains numerous vitamins and minerals, including potassium and calcium, which are important for heart health," says registered nutritionist Nicola Shubrook. "It also contains folate and vitamin K, both of which are required for the formation of red blood cells and effective blood clotting. Celery is also a good source of protective plant compounds called flavonoids, which have anti-inflammatory and protective effects on the cardiovascular system. Diets high in fibrous foods like celery are associated with a lower risk of heart disease."

Eggs For Breakfast

Lecroy enjoys two eggs—preferably hard boiled—for breakfast, along with some berries. "Eggs are a good source of protein and contain many other nutrients essential for a healthy diet," says Caitlin Beale, MS, RDN. "Protein is often considered the most supportive weight loss nutrient (along with fiber) because it helps keep you feeling full and satisfied after meals. Eggs are often called the 'perfect protein' because they contain all the essential amino acids our bodies need in ideal proportions—also known as high biological value. Foods with high biological values not only include all the protein we need, but they are easily digested and used by the body, and eggs have the highest biological value."

Whenever LeCroy feels herself slipping into unhealthy habits, she does a month-long cleanse eliminating unhealthy and inflammatory foods. "Day one. No alcohol, no carbs, no sugar. 29 days to go," she captioned a photo of herself in the gym. Instead, the star packs her fridge with healthier options with plenty of proteins and vegetables.

Lemon Chicken With Broccoli

One of LeCroy's go-to dinners is a delicious meal of lemon chicken with broccoli. "A key component of broccoli is a phytochemical known as sulforaphane, which is also responsible for broccoli's slightly bitter taste," Shubrook says. "Studies have shown that sulforaphane may play a part in enhancing detoxification of airborne toxins, such as cigarette smoke, and could help reduce the risk of certain cancers. Further research has suggested that broccoli may have anti-cancer properties and could reduce the risk of prostate cancer."

Intermittent Fasting

LeCroy admits she can be a bit of a yo-yo dieter, but when she needs a reset, she incorporates intermittent fasting into her regimen. "Between meals, as long as we don't snack, our insulin levels will go down and our fat cells can then release their stored sugar, to be used as energy," says Harvard Health. "We lose weight if we let our insulin levels go down. The entire idea of IF is to allow the insulin levels to go down far enough and for long enough that we burn off our fat."
