Tia captioned the post, “Sugar honey love.” How exactly did Tia Blanco get in shape for riding the waves and walking down the aisle? Read on to learn 5 of her diet and exercise secrets, and see the photos that prove they work.
She Eats A Lot Of Protein
Tia makes sure to eat a balanced diet. However, she also makes sure to eat enough protein each day. “I eat a balanced vegan diet rich with nuts, seeds, beans, and legumes,” Tia says in an interview with Outside Online. “Even the quinoa I eat is rich in protein. I like protein shakes because I like the taste of them, not because I’m protein-starved.”
She’s Vegan
Tia is open about being vegan. She talked about how she decided to become vegan with Forks Over Knives. “I grew up eating vegetarian with my whole family. My mom turned vegetarian when she was 12 years old purely because she loved animals. When I was 15 or 16, we all went vegan—for the animals and our health. The diet also benefits the environment immensely. The vegan lifestyle aligns with all of my core values, and I truly feel better physically and mentally as a vegan.”
She Cooks
Tia likes to cook a lot of healthy meals for herself and her family. She shared some of her favorites to make in her Forks Over Knives interview. “I started adopting my mom’s love for cooking when I started traveling to compete. She and my mema taught me a lot about cooking, and I’m really thankful for them. I love preparing raw foods and cooked foods, [but] I would say that the way I eat really depends on the weather. For example, in the summer I’m eating more fruits, and in the winter I’m eating more hearty foods and veggie soups.”
She Works Out Every Day
Since Tia is a professional athlete, she has to keep herself in shape on a regular basis. “I do yoga and surf at least once a day,” she says in an interview with Yoga + Life. “I’m active every day and train at least four times a week. When I’m not doing yoga or surfing, I run or train in the gym.”
She Loves Yoga
As she mentioned in the previous blurb, Tia loves doing yoga to keep herself fit. “On the physical side, yoga is fantastic for balance and core strength, two things that are essential in surfing,” she explains to Yoga + Life. “Once I began incorporating yoga into my daily routine, I definitely noticed a difference in my surfing. Perhaps even more than the physical benefits, yoga has really upped my mental game. I got to a point in my life where surfing was becoming all-consuming.”
