The Superfit Mom
Christina Zilber, founder and creative director of Jouer Cosmetics, early 40s
"I never skip meals. You wouldn't want to be around me if I did! What works for me is good old-fashioned self-restraint: I leave food on my plate and don't go for seconds. But I'm not militant about food. I eat what I crave, even if that means French toast on Sunday morning and popcorn at the movies.
Daily Diet and Exercise
7:15 A.M. A bowl of All-Bran Buds cereal mixed with Horizon fruit-filled yogurt and fresh berries, half a grapefruit, and a cup of green-ginger Tazo tea.
9:00 A.M. I try to exercise four to five days a week. On Mondays I have a yoga class, and on Tuesdays and Fridays I take a semiprivate Pilates class. Thursday I'm in my home gym with a personal trainer doing weight training, walking on the treadmill, and jumping rope. On weekends, I go for a hike in the hills around my house.
10:30 A.M. I hate taking pills, so I mix David Kirsch vitamin-and-mineral powder with water. I try to drink two liters of water throughout the day.
12:30 P.M. Lunch in the office: a Cobb salad or another chicken-filled salad. My one major vice is Diet Coke. I drink one with every lunch.
2:15 P.M. As I'm running out of the office to pick up my kids from school, I grab a couple of pieces of red licorice for the road.
3:00 P.M. Borba Replenishing vitamin powder mixed with water.
4:00 P.M. If I'm going out to dinner, I snack on a Kashi granola bar or string cheese with a handful of walnuts or almonds. If I'm eating at 6:00 with my family, I don't usually have a snack.
6:00 P.M. Dinner: tomato-and-burrata-cheese salad and a little of what the kids are eating — usually steak fajitas, turkey meatballs, or lasagna — with a glass of red wine.
9:00 P.M. Before bed, I drink half a liter of water. If I need something sweet, I'll have a Popsicle or a Fudgsicle.
What the Experts Say
NUTRITION: Says Young: "Christina's breakfast is excellent — high in fiber and protein for sustained energy. But because she has a cheese-filled salad at lunch and again at dinner, she should be aware of portions, as cheese is high in saturated fat. She should also incorporate some fish into her diet two times a week, not just for variation but also to add protein and omega essential fatty acids. Christina seems to have a bit of a sweet tooth when it comes to snacks. It's okay to have some treats every now and then, but if she replaced her afternoon licorice fix or her evening Popsicle with a piece of fresh fruit, she would satisfy her sugar craving while adding valuable fiber and antioxidants to her diet rather than just empty calories."
FITNESS: Says Maloy: "Christina has a lot of variation in her exercise routine, and it seems as if she's balancing happiness with health. Hiking outdoors, taking yoga and Pilates classes, and working with a trainer challenges her in new ways every day, keeps her motivated, and prevents burnout. Christina also has a schedule, which gives her workouts some structure. If she's happy with her body, I think she should keep doing exactly what she's doing."
