July 8, 2011 Pro-Thinspo is the world's largest site for thinspiration, celebrity weight loss tricks,
supermodel tips, exercise, diets, diet products, and or course pro tips.... But now I am going to talk
about Forty-one year old Padma Lakshmi definitely has a thinspirational hot body. If you’re wondering
how she keeps that body in such great condition especially since she is always tasting that amazing
food on top chef... but, she’ll be quick to tell you that she’s always conscious of staying active.
When it comes to staying active, you don’t need to carve out a huge amounts of time from your
schedule in order to fit in some kind of activity or workout. There are plenty of other ways to squeeze in
a bit of activity into your day.
Padma’s Fitness Tips:
1. Keep a jump rope in your bag to jump rope whenever there is a few minutes of downtime.
2. Use the stairs, not the elevator. You can even use the stairs to fit in a quick workout.
Don't Do The Crime If You Can't Do The Time
Padma has said that during the seven weeks that Top Chef is filming, she works out 12-15 hours per
week.
If you do the math, that's two hour workouts six or seven days per week.
You have to keep in mind that she has to. She's trying to combat eating thousands of extra calories per
day judging the food on the show.
If you aren't planning on judging a food contest (and all the calories that come with that), you can cut
out about 9 hours per week of lifting and get the same results.
Padma Boxes three times per week, lifts weights, does cardio on the treadmill and rollerskates.
If you've never done a boxing workout, I like it for all of the same reasons I like kettlebells - it blends
strength and cardio and it's intense.
While I'd like to get a little more info on Padma's weight training routine, I'd be shocked if it wasn't
*gasp* circuits including squats and lunges, maybe some deadlifts and some upper body free weight
stuff. If you've been reading this blog for any length of time, that's pretty much the standard "being on
TV" workout.
Padma Eats Wicked Clean When She's Not on Top Chef
Padma cuts out as much sugar and fat as possible, and tries to only eat carbohydrates and lean protein.
She's all about fruits and veggies and drinking enough water.
I'm telling you girls and guys, there's no magic to it. People who are lean eat good food.
Even Padma's snacks are awesome:
“Coming from the East, I love to graze on dry fruit and nuts and crudites with Middle Eastern yogurt dip
made with za’atar powder. Other snacks I like are an apple with lo-fat peanut butter or non-fat cottage
cheese with rye crackers or celery.”
Basically, when she's not on the show she eats really, really clean.
You Can't Do Enough Working Out to Counteract a Top Chef Judge's Amount Of Food
So Padma eats to look like a rockstar when she's not on the show...
...But on the show, she has no control over what she eats.
She has to judge the food, so she's grubbin really amazing, rich, delicious food, and she has to sample
every dish on that episode.
Padma says that she gains 10 to 15 pounds over the course of filming each season, even with all of the
time she spends in the gym.
I think she looks rockstar the whole season, but she says the reason you can't tell is because she's tall
(5' 9").
She's also said in interviews that she has one set of clothes (that show off her rockstar body) for the
beginning of the season and another set of clothes (that are a little more forgiving) for the end of the
season!
This is something you really need to keep in mind - even with 2 hours per day, six or seven days per
week of workouts, Padma still gains weight eating during the show.
Hosting Top Chef causes Padma to eat more calories than normal, seven weeks out of the year.
When the Top Chef season is over, Padma returns to eating like a supermodel, and her body goes right
back to supermodel body.
She's said that she thinks about it like a "food detox" and she eats really simple food for a while after
the season.

Just seven weeks of eating way too many calories = a weight gain of 10-15lbs. (kind of like most
Americans in November and December)
Most Americans over-eat all year long. Is it no wonder that they've got "stubborn fat"?
Lets make it easier: You don't have to do two hours a day of working out if you clean up your diet.
Less is more. As in, less calories = more results.
Padma hits two really important points workout wise - lifting weights and boxing. Boxing is really high
intensity. It's not shocking at all that she looks lean, fit and sporty.
Also I give her big ups for rollerskating. Seriously, people need to remember that this can be fun.
You're allowed to be active just because it's fun. Remember recess in school?
Padma's Books
Padma's first book is Easy Exotic, about how models eat to stay thin. I'm going to pick this book up
'cause I'm getting in a phase where I totally dig cooking again.
Her second book is Tangy Tart Hot and Sweet is another book is the same style - world recipies made
simple and easy for anyone to cook.
Sometimes I feel like who-ever cooks the most wins. Seriously, my clients that subscribe to Cooking
Light always drop weight and love their food.
It's worth learning how to cook.
Like I always say, collect cookbooks, not diet books.
