The stars have lots of help when it comes to dieting, but you don’t need a personal chef to stick to the celebs’ new secret weapon: The 5-Factor Diet.
Created by Harley Pasternak, who holds a master’s degree in exercise physiology and nutritional sciences and has been a trainer for 15 years, The 5-Factor Diet and fitness plan is incredibly easy to follow.
Consisting of five small meals six days a week (plus one diet-free cheat day), and five weekly workouts, it’s shaping some of the hottest bodies in Hollywood.
Harley’s clients include Jessica Simpson, Katherine Heigl, Mandy Moore, Alicia Keys, Eva Mendes and Vanessa Williams.
While the celebs get the personal touch from Harley, working out in his Los Angeles studio and having his specially created meals home delivered — at a cost of $120-$140 a day — he has a website (www.5factordiet.com) and a book (The 5-Factor Diet, published by Meredith Books) to help the rest of us slim down and shape up too.
