The nutrition coach also spoke to Well & Good, and explained how Jessica had approached her to help boost her energy and stay away from foods that caused inflammation.
"For breakfast, I suggested Jessica have a Fab Four Smoothie (1 serving of protein, 1–2 Tbsp almond butter, 1–2 Tbsp chia seeds, a handful of greens, and 1–2 cups of almond milk). She liked fruit, but I didn’t want to spike her blood sugar, so we limited it to 1/3 frozen banana. The idea was to balance her blood sugar from the get-go with something that was a great source of fiber. If you do that in the morning, it lays the foundation for the rest of the day."
LeVeque also shared what the actress and business woman eats for dinner now.
"For lunch and dinner, I encouraged her to build a Fab Four plate, and not to think about what she shouldn’t eat. Making protein, fat, fiber, and greens the cornerstone of each meal worked wonders for her."
Oh, and as for Jessica's favourite snack (something we can totally get onboard with, by the way!)?
Guacamole. "I 100 percent approve because the main ingredient— avocado – is a source of healthy fat, specifically, monounsaturated fat, LeVeque explains. "Fat breaks down into fatty acids, which help facilitate hormone production and are important for cell development. It also helps elongate your blood-sugar curve and turn off your hunger hormones."
