Vanessa Hudgens’ Diet
Summary
While Hudgens wasn’t also so careful about what she put into her mouth, she currently follows the ketogenic diet, which means she eats foods that are high in fat and low in carbs, such as avocados. She also eats plenty of leafy greens. The purpose of the ketogenic is to burn fat rather than glycogen, or stored carbs, leading to weight loss and improved health. She also engages in intermittent fasting, which means she only eats during certain hours of the day. Hudgens drinks water that contains electrolytes. Electrolytes can get out of whack when you’re first transitioning to keto, and also when you work out hard like Hudgens.
