It is possible that giving up breakfast is part of a planned regimen and diet.

Rule 1: giving up meat and vegetables

Zendaya has been a vegetarian since she was nine years old, so it’s impossible to find beef, chicken and fish – the main sources of protein – in her fridge. Zendaya mainly eats low-calorie vegetarian dishes. However, the favorite dish of the actress is difficult to call dietary: noodles with hot sauce contains a lot of salt, but Zendaya is not ready to deny herself this pleasure.

She drinks noodles with lemonade or fruit juices, and tries to refrain from coffee and energy drinks. Zendaya’s diet is complicated by the fact that she does not like vegetables. It’s unusual to hear this from a vegetarian, but she really rarely uses vegetables in cooking, only as a snack.

Rule 2: You can choose ice cream and fruit pops as dessert

When interviewers ask Zendaya about the rules of her diet, she says she can eat ice cream for breakfast, lunch and dinner. She is obsessed with this frozen treat and lets herself have it very often. The actress often sprinkles her ice cream with fruit flakes and sprinkles it with various toppings. The Disney star is sure that by allowing herself sweets, she avoids many breakdowns and keeps her emotional state normal.

Of course, we can say that she has good genetics, but the fact that she watches her diet is for sure.

Rule 3: Regular dance classes

Zendaya has been dancing since she was a little girl. At 8, she was a member of a hip-hop troupe at the California Theater where her mom worked. At 14, she played a professional dancer in the Disney series “Dance Fever” and then participated in the American “Dancing with the Stars”, where she and her partner came in second place. Dancing can replace a full cardio workout.

On the set of “Dune” I accustomed to it all the crew: after a hard day we gathered in my dressing room, Timothy Chalamet brought a speaker, and we danced until we fell.

Zendaya dances for 1-2 hours every day, which allows her to avoid swelling, relax and energize.

Rule 4: Consistent strength training

Zendaya began to go to strength training when there were contracts for movies, where you need to perform physically demanding stunts. Goes to the gym actress 3-4 times a week and likes that the classes were a joy.

Most often she performs exercises that involve several muscle groups: pull ups, various types of plank, including on a stuffed ball, Bulgarian lunges and burpees.

Rule 5: Do not eat breakfast if you don’t feel like it

After waking up, Zendaya does not run to the kitchen to prepare eggs Benedict, but on the contrary, she may forget about breakfast and make her first meal in the middle of the day. Her favorite spicy noodles, by the way, quite replaces her oatmeal.

In the mornings, my assistant tries to give me something to eat: I like to eat breakfast, but I don’t like to eat right after waking up. The exception is Nutella, pancakes and wild berries. Now that’s the perfect breakfast for me!

At night, we produce the growth hormone somatotropin. It increases protein synthesis and inhibits protein breakdown, and helps to reduce subcutaneous fat deposits. When we refuse to eat breakfast, we prolong its effect exactly until the first meal of the day.
