Monica Seles Still In Athlete Shape
According to US Weekly, the 5-foot-10 tennis champ lost control of her life and weight when she was stabbed by a fan in 1993. Seles says, “It was clearly manifested in my body that I was sad and depressed” after packing on more than twenty pounds and growing to a size 14. After several failed diet attempts, she started eating in moderation two years ago and seeing the weight come off. Now after shedding 33 pounds, Seles is a proud and slim size 6!
Fad dieting always seemed to fail her, so now her new diet regimen consists of 60 percent protein, 20 percent fat and 20 percent carbs. This former pro-athlete who used to work out five hours a day now keeps in shape exercising 20 minutes on the elliptical machine, 30 minutes of weights (bicep curls and chest presses) and takes a 10 minute walk twice a week. Seles says, “I make sure to walk everywhere. It adds up!”
Editor’s Comments: Monica Seles’ diet and fitness program has definitely worked for her, but I don’t think it would necessarily work for everyone. It seems like a lot of percentage counting of food intake and can become complicating to some. It’s nice that she eats a balanced diet though without cutting out a food group all together. Her workout regimen seems like a very manageable routine in both time and capability.
