Senada Greca is flaunting her washboard abs in a new mirror selfie. In a recent social media post, Kim Kardashian’s trainer shows off her enviable midsection in a photo she took of herself and shared via her Instagram Stories. How does the fitness trainer and model eat to maintain her famous figure? Here is everything you need to know about her diet.

Here Is What She Eats in a Day on Vacation

“Vacation routine and what I eat in a day - or rather what I ate on this day,” Senada explained in a recent post, detailing her healthy routine. For breakfast, Senada had four scrambled eggs with feta and a side of turkey and bacon. Next up, a bowl of blueberries and strawberries. For lunch, she enjoyed tacos with a chicken Caesar salad and an ice cream sandwich. For dinner, she ate grilled sea bass with vegetables, a side of bread, and a fruit bowl.

Here Is What She Might Eat in a Day at Home

In a separate video, she revealed what another day of eating looks like for her. For breakfast she had four scrambled eggs with pita, tzatziki, cucumber, and tomato salad. Then, for lunch, she had mixed greens, sweet potato, broccoli, tomatoes, avocado, goat cheese, double salmon, olive oil, and lemon. After her workout she made a protein shake made with plant milk and chocolate protein, and cacao. Dinner consisted of a Caesar salad with double the portion of grilled chicken and “way too much dressing,” she joked. For a snack she ate some blueberries and raspberries.

She Is a “Flexible Eater”

Senada_Greca2senada.greca/Instagram

Senada is a “flexible eater,” she told Glamour. “My main focus is getting enough protein daily; carbs and fats fill the rest of my macros, which I intuitively track. I suggest that most people do track their macros, especially in the beginning of their fitness journey, so as to learn what the proper way of feeding ones’ self looks like.”

Water with Lemon

Senada starts her day with a gut-friendly beverage. “I wake up daily at 6:30AM. First thing I do after washing up, is have a full glass of room temperature water with half a lemon,” she told Ryder Wear.

Sweet Treats

Senada has a sweet tooth. “I can't lie, though; on most nights, I do crave something sweet. I typically have a banana and almond butter which satisfies that sweet tooth, but occasionally I do have some ice cream or a bar of chocolate with hazelnuts, it’s my favourite type of chocolate,” she told Ryder Wear.

We strive to only recommend products that adhere to our philosophy of eating better while still enjoying what you eat.

Lisa Jean Lanceford is a fitness trainer and influencer with over 3.7 million followers on Instagram. She regularly shares her workouts on social media and via the STRNG app. In one of her recent Instagram posts, she shared the exercises that are responsible for her 6-pack abs. “Sheeeeesh this one burns 🔥 Let’s get this ABS workout done,” she wrote in the captioned. Here is everything you need to know about her workout plus the other lifestyle habits that help keep her in shape.

Here Is Her Ab Workout

In the video, she demonstrates the following exercises:

  • Kneeling cable crunch

    10-12 reps, 3-4 sets

  • Roman chair oblique knee raises

    12-16 reps, 3-4 sets

  • Alternating knee tuck double crunch

    12-16 reps, 3-4 sets

  • Cross crawls

    20-24 reps, 3-4 sets

  • Low to high cable woodchips

    10-12 reps, 3-4 sets each side

Intuitive Eating

Lisa promotes “intuitive eating,” explaining the principles in an Instagram post.

“Your relationship with food plays a key role in your overall fitness journey. Whilst it’s good to have a sufficient understanding of your diet and nutrition, striving for the ‘perfect’ diet may lead to controlling or disordered eating habits. If you have eaten a cheeseburger, you do not have to feel guilty, skip your next meal or ‘burn it off.’ Instead, focus on the positives. You received a great source of iron, protein, carbs, calcium and you probably rather enjoyed it. You do not need to use exercise to negate eating but rather consume food for enjoyment, nourishment and to fuel workouts and recovery,” she says.

Here Is How She “Builds” Healthy Meals

Lisa_Jean_Lanceford2lisafiitt/Instagram

In another post, she explains “how to build a healthy and balanced meal,” starting with a “good quality protein sources such as lean meat, a soya-based product such as tofu or tempeh, dairy or lentils, beans and edamame beans,” she says. Next up, starchy carbohydrates, which “should make up just over a 1/3 of the food you eat,” she explains.

“They are essential for energy and nutrients, therefore you should aim to include some at every meal. Low GI carbohydrates slowly release energy and are higher in fibre which means they will keep you fuller for longer. Some low GI options include potatoes with skin on, brown rice, wholemeal bread, wholemeal pasta, oats, and buckwheat.”

Then, fill your plate “with a rainbow of non- starchy vegetables and dark leafy greens. Examples include broccoli, spinach, kale, peppers, cucumber, courgette, onion, aubergine, cauliflower, mushrooms, tomatoes and so on. Also be sure to include some fruit throughout the day as snacks or added to breakfast, etc,” she adds. Finally, “Pick a small amount of healthy fats such as avocado, nuts, extra virgin olive oil, and seeds.”

No Diets

Lisa_Jean_Lanceford1lisafiitt/Instagram

Lisa doesn’t like to label her eating plan. “I don’t like to call it a diet as it’s my lifestyle and not a diet. My nutrition has stayed the same, except some days I am increasing my calories as I am working out more, so I need to make sure I am fuelling my body right. I am doing LIVE Instagram workouts with my followers and challenging myself with new HIIT workouts alongside weight training (working with what I have) and my morning walks,” she told Women Fitness.

Walking in the Morning

While she spends a lot of time in the gym, Lisa starts her day with steps. “I do a 1 hour walk every morning. It helps with my mindset for the day and I think about everything I am grateful for. It’s so calm, quiet and peaceful and it gets my mind going for the day. Always practice gratitude and always appreciate the little things in life,” she added to Women Fitness.

💪🔥Body Booster: Contrary to popular belief, crunches, and sit-ups aren’t the best exercises to build abs. Try doing a set like Lisa’s, which works all the muscles in your midsection, including obliques, and will get you the best results.

Meghan Trainor is flaunting her washboard abs on the I Heart Jingle Ball tour. In a new social media post the mother-of-two shows off her moves – and her seriously slimmed down figure – in a two-piece Mrs. Clause inspired look, wowwing her fans. How did the singer get in her best shape after welcoming her second child in January 2023? Here are 10 things we know about her diet and exercise routine.

Her Kids Are Her Fitspiration

Meghan is motivated by being a mother. "I think when you have a kid, you just realize, 'Wow, life is beautiful and precious. I want to be the best for my kid.' I've never been more motivated," she told Parents. "I look at Riley and think, 'I'm going to do anything I can to live forever.’"

She Lost One Pound Per Week

According to Meghan, slow and steady wins the weight loss race. She told People that she lost weight “the healthy way, the long way, the one pound a week way,” she said. “And it's a proud accomplishment that I never thought I could ever do.”

She Pays Attention to Portion Size

While she hasn’t divulged specific details about what she eats, Meghan has said that she eats as healthy as possible and understands the importance of eating in moderation. "I learned that I do like healthy food, and I learned what portions mean," she told Entertainment Tonight Canada.

Daily Exercise

Meghan told Entertainment Tonight Canada that she was committed to daily exercise. “I was like, 'If I can survive a C-section, I can do anything.' And I did," she said. "I was very dedicated, and I started seeing the pounds come off one week at a time, one pound. I was like, 'I'm fighting.'"

She Got Strong for Her Tour

Meghan was also motivated to get strong for her The Timeless Tour this fall. “I'm feeling fit. I've never been so fit,” she told People. “I already told my household. I was like, ‘I am training for the Olympics, okay?’ I want to train and eat clean, and feel good when I’m dancing and singing.''

Strength Training

Meghan’s workout of choice is strength training. Her trainer, Rebecca Stanton, recently shared a video of the two at the gym together. Their session consisted of lots of squat and lunge variations and using free weights doing lots of slow reps.

She Doesn’t Focus on Numbers

"Because I've seen so many people on TikTok now open up, and I'm like, 'Here's what it looks like to be 180 pounds.' Everyone's body's so different," People. "You could see a girl who's really tall in a bikini, showing off her 185 pound body or something. And I'm like, 'Wow. It's so interesting how weight sits differently on everyone.' Numbers are just numbers. Whatever makes you feel the healthiest is where you should live."

She Has Dabbled in the Paleo Diet

A few years back, Meghan told HollywoodLife that she was following the caveman style diet. “I’m working out! I’m trying to be healthy. I eat all Paleo and I learned smaller portions,” she said.

She Doesn’t Weight Herself

“I can’t get on that scale,” Meghan told Hollywood Life. “It’s like — you gain muscle weight and you’re like, ‘what’s going on?.’ So [I’m] just living life. I’m just trying to be happy and eating healthy foods. I know when I eat something bad I have a horrible stomach ache and it’s just poison. I can’t eat stuff like this!”

She Does Workout DVDs

Trainor is a fan of at-home workout DVDs, specifically Shaun T’s video series called Insanity. The videos are 25 minutes long and each focuses on something different — for example cardio, ab intervals, or total body circuit training. She called the method "amazing."

Krissy Cela is making a case for weightlifting – showing off her tiny waist. In a new social media post the fitness influencer and co-founder of EvolveYou draws attention to her chiseled midsection and reveals the workout responsible for it. “I understand fitness trends come and go… I get you’ve been told by many people on viral videos to stop lifting heavy because it’s not feminine and maybe you’ve even been told the gym isn’t a fashion show,” she writes. “Hate to break it to you but if you want longevity in your health lifting weights is important, sure it gives you muscles but it’s beneficial for your overall health! And not to mention what it does for your mind.” Her followers went wild. “Yes, preach it girl! Break those stereotypes. Because who says lifting can't be both empowering and fashionable, right? 🔥” commented fellow fitness influencer Alexia Clark. “You look so damn good🔥🔥🔥” added Victoria Loza. What is the exact workout responsible for Krissy’s amazing body and what other health habits keep her fit? Here is everything you need to know.

This Is Her Workout

Here is her strength training workout:

✅ bent over rows

✅ single arm rows

✅ Latt pull down

✅ closed grip pull down

✅ flies (didn’t record forgot)

✅ curls for the girls

Early Riser

Krissy_Cela3krissycela/Instagram

Krissy is an early riserI tend to wake up at around half five or six. The reason I wake up so early, it sounds ridiculous, but it helps me do everything I need to do for myself before I can give myself to everybody else. I have this concept where it's all fair and well doing things for the people we love, but if we're not taking some time out for ourselves, to check in or be productive, we'll constantly feel bottom of the list. So I wake up, half five or six o'clock,” she told Closer.

Coffee, Preworkout, Supplements

“The first thing I do is brush my teeth and get ready for the gym. Don't think twice, I just put my workout gear on,” Krissy says about her morning routine. “Then I'll drink my coffee or have my pre-workout.” She “loves” the pre-workout drink, “because I'm a caffeine addict,” she confesses. Probiotic pills help her digestion and hormones. “I have also started using collagen in my coffee now, it really helps me kickstart my day,” she adds.

Moving Her Body

Krissy_Cela4krissycela/Instagram

“Firstly, moving my body is a big big thing. I have to always move my body,” Krissy revealed. “I'm either working out in my little home gym or I am going to the gym and I'll train for one hour, tops.”

Protein Shakes

“So for me, every single day I have protein shakes, it's just convenient. It's a great way for me to up my protein intake, but it's something I don't rely on. Food is key. Protein shakes are a step up from what you already have, so if you don't have a healthy diet or consistent training routine, then you can't expect it to do what it's supposed to do,” she adds to Closer.

Her Body Changes

Krissy recently shared side-by-sider of her “leaner” body in May 2023 and now, revealing she is “SO much happier now” even though she weighs more. “I’m learning more and more that when you might not be as consistent with your journey or when you’ve taken a break it does NOT mean you have ‘fallen off’ or that you need to ‘get back on track’ I used to think this way all the time and now I realise I’ve always been on track, it’s just my track is taking me on a new journey that’s all,” she continues in the post. “I still love moving, I love lifting, I love cooking meals and eating well. I may not have as viable abs or be as lean but I’m soooo much happier, have so much more longevity and honestly I just feel good. Not to mention what my body has been through to even stand strong today. So here is your reminder that during your journey your body will fluctuate, your routine will change and your body will look different so embrace it, keep moving, keep showing up and just take your time with it all! No rush it’s about doing this thing called fitness forever not a quick fix. Just enjoy life and I promise you visible abs does not always equal health and happiness.”

💪🔥Body Booster: Strength and weight training will not make you “big” if you do the right exercises and fuel your body with lean and healthy food.

Shaina Fata, aka Shaina Marie, is a fitness trainer-slash-yoga instructor and social media influencer. She regularly shares her workouts on social media, many of which can be done at home with very little equipment. She recently reshared one of her most popular workouts of all time – a standing abs workout that only requires a dumbbell. “An oldie but for sure a goodie,” she writes in the caption. Here is everything you need to know about the workout and some of her other go-to lifestyle habits.

Standing Ab Workouts Give Your Wrists and Back “A Little Break”

Shaina_Fata_Shaina_Marie2shainamarie.b/Instagram

Standing ab workouts are great alternatives to laying on the ground or planking. “These standing workouts are a great way to give your wrists and back a little break 👌🏾. To be clear, standing does not mean easy 😝. Try this one out and see how your core feels!” she writes.

Here Is the Workout

“Do this workout for 40 seconds of work, 15 seconds of rest, 3 full rounds,” she says, noting that she is using a 20-pound dumbbell.

  1. DB Oblique Crunches (40 sec per side)
  2. OH Hold Marches (40 sec per side)
  3. Forward DB Raise Squat
  4. Standing Bicycles

Yoga

Shaina is also trained in yoga, calling the exercise one of her “secrets” to having a steady fitness routine. “I’ve found that incorporating a variety of fitness groups into my life has allowed me to not only branch outside my comfort zone, but to build muscle or work areas that may not be accessed by just doing one form of fitness. Right now I enjoy HIIT or Plyometrics workouts, along with my yoga practice, sometimes barre classes, and I’ve recently been trying to add running a couple times a week to my routine. I don’t plan things out every day. I just pay attention to how my body feels and decide what would be best for it that day. Today I felt sore and tight, so I chose yoga this morning,” she says.

Intuitive Eating

Shaina practices intuitive eating, having a “firm belief that what we eat is completely individual and unique to each and every one of us,” she wrote in an Instagram post. “However, I do think there are many food groups that could be incorporated in to ‘diets’ that are important and necessary for living as healthy as can be. Although almost all of my eating now is completely intuitive, I do stick to certain foods and eating habits that make me feel good.”

Here Is What She Eats in a Week

Here is a list of foods she eats during an average week:

  • Grains (rice, quinoa, wheat/whole grain bread, oats)
  • Beans (black, garbanzo, pinto)
  • Major Proteins (eggs, tofu, tempeh, beans, quinoa, nut butter, veggies, occasional fish and/or chicken, collagen peptides)
  • Vegetables - all of them are up for grabs but I do have my favorites (zucchini, yellow squash, onion, tomato, mushroom, bell peppers, cucumber, kale, spinach, tomato, squash, eggplant, carrots, and celery)
  • Starch (potato- pretty much any kind but I’m a big fan of sweet potato!)
  • Fruit - I don’t eat too much fruit! But when I do... (avocado, apples, bananas, raspberries, blackberries, watermelon, blueberries, jackfruit, papaya, mango)
  • Others - veggie burgers, lentils, pasta (just tomato-based sauces), salsa, hot sauce.

Here Is What She Eats in a Day

“On a typical day, my eating would probably go something similar to this: Breakfast - avocado toast w/ tomato and an egg. Lunch - leftovers or simple cooked veggie wrap w/ rice and a protein. Dinner - Cooked veggies, rice, beans (or other protein) with sweet potato and coconut aminos to top. If I’m feeling really hungry I’ll add a little more bread or potato to my diet,” she added in the post. “And the most important part: SNACKS 🤪. For those I love my kettle chips, popcorn, seaweed, dried fruits, potstickers, egg rolls, and maybe some babybel cheese.”

Are you struggling to hit your protein goals? Jarrah Martin is a fitness trainer and social media influencer who educates people about fat loss. In a new social media post, he discusses the importance of protein and how eating eggs every day may not always be the best way to meet your daily goals. “10 foods that pack more protein & fewer calories than three eggs,” he writes. “These are protein powerhouses.”

3 Eggs Don’t Offer Enough Protein

“Look, eggs aren’t bad for protein—hell, they’re decent—but if you’re ONLY eating 2-3 eggs for protein, you’re falling short. Three eggs give you 18g of protein, but that’s 210 calories… decent, but definitely not enough to hit optimal protein targets,” he writes

You Need to Be in a Calorie Deficit While Consuming Enough Protein

“Now, if you’re trying to lose fat, you need to be in a calorie deficit (eating less than you burn). But here’s the deal, protein is your secret weapon to keep muscle, stay full, and make fat loss easier than you thought,” he continues.

10 Foods with More Protein and Fewer Calories Than 3 Eggs

Here are 10 foods that give you MORE protein for FEWER calories than just 3 eggs:

  1. Nonfat Greek yogurt (1 cup) – 25g protein, 145 cals
  2. Chicken breast (4 oz, cooked) – 30g protein, 170 cals
  3. Cottage cheese (200g, low-fat) – 25g protein, 145 cals
  4. Canned tuna (4 oz, in water) – 24g protein, 110 cals
  5. Egg whites (250g) – 27g protein, 130 cals
  6. Shrimp (5 oz, cooked) – 29g protein, 150 cals
  7. White fish (5 oz, cooked) – 30g protein, 150 cals
  8. Lean ground turkey (6 oz, 99% lean, cooked) – 38g protein, 180 cals
  9. Pork tenderloin (5 oz, cooked) – 30g protein, 170 cals
  10. Protein powder (1.5 scoops) – 33g protein, 150 cals

You Can Keep Eating Eggs Too

“Try swapping one of these into your next meal and watch how much easier it is to hit your protein goals,” he says. “And yeah, if you like eggs, keep them in the mix—they’re nutrient-dense, no doubt. But balance your shit the right way.”

The Bottom Line

The bottom line? “If you’re serious about fat loss, focus on high-protein, lower-calorie foods that keep you full, build muscle, and make that fat loss WAY easier,” he says. And if you enjoyed this article, don't missthese 8 High-Protein Foods with Nearly Zero Calories That Melt Fat.

Ozempic and other GLP-1 drugs have become popular for weight loss. However, according to some health experts, there are foods you can eat that trigger the same appetite-suppressing hormones as the injections. Grace Macena is a social media influencer and “macro focused” nutritionist who promotes sustainable weight loss. In a new post, she reveals some of the foods that can help with weight loss. “10 foods that I eat daily that mimic Ozempic,” she writes.

Ozempic Turns Down Your Appetite

“These medications mimic a natural hormone in your body called GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) — and here’s why that matters,” she writes in the post. “Basically, they turn down your appetite and help your body use food more efficiently.”

Here Is What These Foods Do

  • They slow down how fast food leaves your stomach (you stay full longer)
  • They help regulate blood sugar after meals
  • They reduce cravings by acting on hunger centers in your brain
  • They improve insulin sensitivity

Avocados are the first food she eats to mimic the effects of Ozempic. “Healthy fats = steady blood sugar + long-lasting fullness,” she says.

2. Potatoes

Next up is a surprising starch: potatoes, “boiled or baked,” she says. “High on the satiety index = super filling with fewer calories.”

3. Chia Seeds

Chia seeds, which are fibrous little seeds that expand when soaked in liquid, are food number three. “Forms a gel in your stomach = makes you feel full fast,” she writes.

4. Eggs

Oats, especially steel-cut, are another must-eat to mimic Ozempic. “High fiber = blunts blood sugar spikes + keeps you full,” she says.

6. Greek Yogurt

She is also a fan of Greek yogurt, another food most health experts recommend. “Balances gut health & helps control hunger,” she says.

7. Leafy Greens

8. Meat

Meat, specifically lean cuts like chicken or beef, is high on her list. “High protein = reduces ghrelin (the hunger hormone) and boosts metabolism,” she says.

9. Salmon

Body Network asked Mr. America himself, Jason Kozma, a Los Angeles personal trainer, High Performance Personal Training, to spill the beans on his top core exercises for strong abs.

Hanging Leg Raises

Why trainers love it: This move targets the lower abs, which are notoriously hard to hit. It also challenges grip and shoulder stability.

How to do it: Hang from a pull-up bar with your arms fully extended. Some gyms have arm loops expressly for this exercise. Keeping your legs straight, raise them until they’re parallel to the ground (or higher for advanced). Slowly lower them down without swinging.

Trainer Tip: Avoid using momentum; go slow for max burn.

Planks (and Variations)
