Gorgeous Lexi’s Top Meal Tips
When seeing such an astonishing transformation, the first question that comes into many people’s minds is: “how did you do it?” Which, for many people, really means “how can I do it?” Lexi is an endless source of answers to this question. One of her best healthy eating tips is to make life easy on yourself by prepping all the ingredients you need for a week’s worth of healthy meals on a Sunday. The trick is to make healthy eating as easy and hassle-free as fast food and junk!
When it comes to the junk food-laden holidays, Lexi is all about planning, making healthier versions of your favorite treats, and practicing portion control. Since many people don’t have a clue how to do any of this, Lexi backs up her advice with recipes and meal ideas, all made with real whole foods, nothing fake, nothing processed.
Reaping the Rewards
Pictured here on their wedding day and then a little over two years later at the Screen Actors Guild Awards, the difference this pair has made in their lives is so apparent. To Lexi, this change was nothing short of life-saving: “Every day I wake up is a blessing. I’m so proud of how far I’ve come and this new life that I’m living. I saved my own life and for that, there are no words — only gratitude.”
As far as Danny and Lexi are concerned, they were alive before, sure, but they weren’t truly living. Now, fuelled by the abundant energy that has resulted from their newfound healthy lifestyle, the pair have some exciting new developments to announce.
Stepping Out in Style on Hollywood’s Red Carpet
With her remarkable transformation out in the public eye and garnering so much love and attention, Lexi was selected by TNT Drama and L’Oreal Paris as an “inspiring strong woman of 2018.” Along with this honor came an invitation for both Lexi and Danny to make an appearance at the Screen Actors Guild awards that same year.
As you can imagine, it was both a delight and a shock to Lexi. Just a few years earlier and she would’ve dreaded the idea of picking a dress and trying to fit into a plane seat, let alone being seen on the red carpet among the impossible perfection of celebrities. Yet, here she was having a blast picking out a gorgeous, figure-hugging dress, rubbing shoulders with the rich and famous, enjoying a luxury hotel… and maintaining her health and fitness regime like a champion.
Maintaining a Healthy Lifestyle
The lifestyle changes you make need to stick with you for the rest of your life if you are to maintain your health and wellbeing. However, this is not a bad thing! In fact, if you’re eating tasty, healthy treats, nourishing your body, and keeping yourself engaged by getting into new and fun activities, the endless nature of the journey is an absolute joy.
Instead of hotdogs, fatty burgers, marshmallows, and junk food snacks, choose healthy proteins such as grilled chicken or beef. Meals like lean meat and colorful veggies are the best fuel through days of hiking and adventuring.
The Exercise Tips We All Need
Exercise can be fun for a while but, like most things in life, it can start to get boring if you’re doing the same things all the time. Yet consistency is the only way to get results! Knowing this conundrum all too well, Lexi and Danny Reed developed some clever ways to keep their heads in the game. The pair kept things interesting at the gym by switching up their workouts and heading to different classes each week. They also worked their fitness into their social activities.
In fact, the couple even hit the gym before date night! With the treat of spending a lush night together ahead, they find themselves super motivated to smash through their workouts. Of course, it’s not always so easy, as Lexi explained in an Instagram post: “some days we don’t know how we’re gonna do it, but every day we get it done!”
