“I’m not as strict as I was.
It was always sort of a monitored watch.
Then I thought, ‘Just give yourself moderation.'”
To Aniston, beauty is “learning to love every single thing about yourself.
And also realizing that it’s not just clothes and what’s happening [on the outside].
There’s so much more that’s beautiful in a human being.”
That said, she is still cognizant of what she consumes.
“We’ve got to really be conscious and mindful around what we put inside our bodies.
Spoiler alert: It’s much more than the same ol’ salad.
“There’s a collagen peptide that I’ve been lovingI’ve been seeing a difference!
My nails are stronger, and there’s a healthier…glow.
It’s sort of that working from the inside-out thing.”
Lunch
Lunch is “some form of vegetables or salad with proteinpretty basic,” she tellsElle.
But just because it’s basic doesn’t mean Aniston leaves it up to chance.
She plans ahead to make it possible to toss something nutritious together even during the busiest of days.
“I always have cut raw vegetables in a Tupperware container.
I also include protein, such as pulled chicken,” she tellsYahoo Food.
One thing you’ll never find in her fridge?
“I’m not a fan.
And you won’t find caviar.
Dinner
Dinner is where Aniston really lets her creativity shine.
She enjoys having pals over for a DIY pizza night potluck with wine pairings, too.
“Everyone can participate and make their own pizzas.
I have one friend that brings sweets and dessert; other people bring wine.
Her lightened-up version of carbonara features turkey bacon instead of pork, eggs and Parmesan.
“No oil, butter or creams.
“If anything, my exercise usually increases a little bit, and I keep the sodium super low.
“I don’t let eating habits get out of control where I need a reset button.
My general philosophy is to eat healthy.
I allow myself to indulge once in a while…I don’t give myself any rules anymore.”
“There shouldn’t be any kind of shame or discomfort around it.”
We couldn’t agree more.
