Tyra Banks lost an amazing 30 pounds in 6 months reducing her 5′10″ body to a reported 140 pounds. Her secrets are simple and refreshingly healthy! Here is what she does.
Tyra’s diet plan consists of a few key components. The first is eating a well balanced and healthy diet. She eats plenty of fruits and veggies and has chicken or shrimp on top of salads for protein. She cooks a lot of soup dishes which reportedly helps you shed pounds. Her favorite soup recipe book is “400 Best Ever Soups” by Anne Sheasby. She also hired a part time personal chef who cooks her healthy dinners and leaves them for her so when she gets home she can just heat em up. Now of course we all can’t afford this luxury but we can follow the basis idea here, which is to cook meals ahead of time so that when you get home you can just heat up those healthy meals versus relying on fast food or other quick fixes. Another important rule Tyra follows is portion control. This is a key ingredient to weight loss as you need to control your calorie intake. Finally, Tyra only allows healthy snacks, like fruits and veggies backstage at her show, “The Tyra Banks Show.” This keeps her from mindlessly munching on high calorie, unhealthy snacks.
Tyra’s exercise plan is unconventional and quite exciting if you ask me. She works with Martin Snow from New York City’s Trinity Boxing Club. She works out about an hour and a half, three days a week and keeps her routine ever changing so as to avoid boredom. Some of her unique and seemingly difficult routines involve swinging a sledgehammer, running with an open parachute around her waist, chasing after medicine balls that are thrown in all different directions, using kettle balls and boxing routines. These types of routines are great for your core. Tyra avoids working out on machines and prefers to work out outside at the park. She keeps her routine fresh which helps keep her motivated.

Really good read. Thanks!
I generally don’t have weight problems, But I’m struggling to have a normal size tummy. Which diet can I follow that is safe and effective?
@ Nomonde, try doing 30 minutes cardio 3 times a week and walking for 30 minutes on other days and decrease your intake of white carbs like white bread, pasta, banana, rice. eat more protein and fruits and veggies you should see results in your midsection in about 3 weeks. all the best
Running with an open parachute around her waist? Great idea, but that requires an olympic-sized gym. Oddly, my 120 sq. ft. apartment living room does not allow this kind of exercise.
