Emma Watson’s Diet

Summary

While Watson takes her diet seriously, she doesn’t restrict any food groups. She follows the principle of the 80/20 rule, eating clean 80% of the time and cutting loose the other 20%, which sometimes involves mojitos. She sticks to whole, natural foods and avoids all processed foods and artificial ingredients, with the consequence that she often winds up cooking for herself. She’s not big on snacking, but if she’s feeling peckish, she’ll grab a piece of fruit, some yogurt or other simple, natural food to tide her over.

Keep It Real

Watson did her own dancing for Beauty and the Beast. She is a firm believer in doing her own stunts — and in not getting hurt.

Keep It Short

Watson gets in a quick, 30-minute workout with her trainer, Emily Drew. They usually require very little equipment but are strenuous.

Keep It Fresh

Watson likes to mix up her routine to keep from getting bored. She takes boxing classes, does strength training, takes strolls in along city streets (sometimes hanging up leaflets related to various causes she supports), and meditates.

Daily Dose

Watson may take a relaxed approach to her diet, but she works out regularly.

The 3 S’s

Watson and her trainer focus on stretching, strength and stillness. Stretching improves posture; strength keeps her looking lean and contributes to those awesome flat abs; and stillness involves meditation and yoga.

Take a Hike

To destress and keep in shape, Watson likes to walk around her neighborhood, whether she’s in NYC or London.
