Lori Harvey’s Diet

Diet Summary

Harvey’s diet of 1,200 calories per day received a lot of backlash online, but she says it’s what worked for her. She lost 15 lbs of what she calls ‘relationship weight’ because she was very unhappy with how it made her look and feel. She focused on eating lean meat and plenty of veggies while avoiding carbs and adding in regular exercise to drop those 15 lbs. One of Harvey’s go-tos is celery juice which she has every morning. Presumably she drinks plenty of water too.

Diet Details

Rise & Chug

Harvey starts her day off with a tall glass of celery juice. She says a trainer got her hooked on the anti-inflammatory, pro-digestion stuff that is chock-full of antioxidants.

Calorie Deficit

Harvey followed a 1,200 calorie per day maximum diet, which earned her a lot of blowback and had experts everywhere saying it’s unhealthy, but Harvey is happy with the results. Calorie deficit is a proven method of weight loss.

Low-Carb Queen

Not all calories are created equal, and Harvey makes a point to focus on protein which fills you up and lets you feel satisfied for longer. She also avoids carbs which can lead to a rollercoaster blood sugar ride.

Eat Your Veg

Harvey also eats plenty of veggies which are full of health-promoting vitamins and fiber which is good for your gut.

Calm Down

Harvey says she uses the Calm app at night and the Chopra meditation app first thing in the morning to keep her relaxed and energized.

Natural Reset

When Harvey needs to reset, she’ll either go outside for a walk or hike, read a book, or call her mom.

Queen Bey to the Rescue
