Miranda Lambert’s Diet
Summary
Like many people, Lambert tried all sorts of fad diets through the years. Following her split from Blake Shelton, Lambert wanted to lose a few pounds that had crept on due to stress. She was asked by a diet company to endorse their product but it involved losing 40 lbs., which Lambert thought was too much. Instead, she lost 20 lbs. on her own by following a common-sense diet consisting of things like lean animal protein, fats from healthy sources like nuts, and complex carbs from veggies and fresh fruit. Even though she loves her Cheetos, she knows they’re not doing anything for her health or her waistline and avoids them.

Diet Details
A K.I.S.S. Diet Plan
Lambert says while she has tried a lot of different diets out there, what worked for her was eating the same thing every day, in her case, chicken breast, a green salad and a sweet potato. Studies show that limiting food choices can help you lose weight.
Green Up
Lambert admits to less than stellar eating habits, like drowning her veggies in dressing, but since all those extra calories weren’t helping her achieve her weight loss goals, she started drinking a green juice each day.
Ditch the Scale
Lambert calls the scale ‘your worst enemy.’ She judges by how her clothes fit instead.
The Garden of Eatin’
Lambert grows some of her own vegetables, guaranteeing they’re super fresh.

Miranda Lambert’s Workout Routine
Weekly Routine

Just Move It

See It to Believe It

Get Help
Lambert works with a trainer to help motivate her to do ‘the stuff nobody loves,’ such as circuit training and bodyweight exercises.
Run-Walk
Lamber isn’t big on pounding the pavement for an extended run, so she compromises by alternating between running and walking. She’ll run for the length of one song, then walk the next.
