Fergies diet consists of avoiding fatty meats and instead choosing leaner cuts. Fergie said, “I eat low-fat and low-carb, but I can’t cut carbs out completely. I like them too much. For me, it’s all in moderation. I eat turkey burgers, chicken, fish and Boca Burgers are great! High in protein and low in carbs and fat.” She keeps carbs to a minimum but does not avoid them altogether as she likes them too much. So instead, she eats them in moderation, along with foods most celebs avoid – like pizza. When she does indulge (pizza with ranch and blue cheese is one of her favorites), she does so sparingly. Also, she stresses that you have to be prepared to make good choices even when the only choice is a fast food restaurant. She said, “Sometimes when you’re touring, it’s the only thing. You just have to choose the right things. Salads are always good, I like posting Chicken Fajitas. And McDonald’s has the perfect yogurt.” The one thing she does swear by is drinking vinegar….yes, vinegar! “I do vinegar shots. It has to be organic apple cider, unfiltered. Two tablespoons. For some reason I’ve noticed a difference on my stomach.”
As for her exercise program, Fergie works out at least 6 days per week, for up to 2 hours per workout session. Yes, she does not mess around! Her favorite workout staple is the treadmill where she walks briskly at an incline for at least 45 minutes. She also does resistance training to tone and define her arms as well as body weight squats and lunges to tone and shape her legs, hips and butt. If she is gaining weight, she revs up her workout routine by doing 2 hour workouts which include cardio work and total body weight training. She also does not skip her cool down. Rather, she cools down with total body stretching and occasionally some yoga for increased flexibility.
