Description
Kylie has dazzled us with her amazing figure for almost two decades now, and just like her singing career it shows no signs of withering just yet. The pint sized star has one of the best behinds in the business and requires a diet and routine that delivers visual results and ensures she’s able to perform at a high octane level too.
Exercise
The pop princess has been training to get fit and toned for her new tour with the help of the Power-Plate exercise machine, which offers an intensified workout with gyrating plates that can pack in the benefits of an hour's exercise to just a few minutes. "My friends raved to me about Power-Plate and now I know why. It's a great invention and a convenient, time-efficient workout," Kylie comments. The machine's 'whole body vibration technology' is supposed to show results in just three short sessions a week, creating a toned body, increased muscle strength, flexibility, circulation and stamina. https://www.powerplate.com
Diet
Kylie is a fan of the GI diet, a system based around foods that release sugars slowly into the bloodstream, supplying a steady supply of energy with no unruly peaks and troughs. Carbohydrates are the ones to watch here - since fats and proteins have little immediate effect on blood sugar. But not all carbs are created equal. The fundamental idea is that porridge, pulses, whole-grains and other hippie comestibles eliminate the hunger pangs born of sugar lows; they keep you satiated for longer, leaving you less open to the pernicious call of the fridge. The speed at which a food is digested is measured by the Glycaemic Index, which scores glucose at 100 and rates other foods against that number (an apple, for example, scores 38). Refined, highly processed, sugary foods, broadly speaking, have a high GI. Consume them and your blood sugar level will leap and your pancreas will respond by releasing insulin. Now, insulin is the villain. Its business is to reduce the level of glucose in the bloodstream by diverting it to body tissues for immediate use, or by storing it as fat. It also has the weighty responsibility of inhibiting the conversion of body fat back into glucose for the body to burn (a hangover from our feast-or-famine cave days). The point is that insulin not only helps the body accumulate fat, it also guards against its depletion. In short, it's Enemy Number One. If you want to lose weight, it is crucial to maintain low insulin levels. There are clear similarities with a conventional calorie-controlled diet (eat less food, and you'll consume fewer caloris ... eat less sugar, ditto), and indeed with Atkins, who dubbed insulin the 'fattening hormone' and rightly proposed that refined carbs are the core of the West's growing obesity problem. The difference is that the GI diet encourages the consumption of slow-burning carbs - the things that keep you fuller longer - together with health-giving, antioxidant-rich fruit and veg. The upshot is a manageable, varied diet that won't cl The crux of the GI diet, it turns out, is that a low GI alone is not enough; a food must also be low in calories and low in saturated fats, only then says does it pass the test. The idea is to look out for the right carbs (slow-burners) and the right fats (no hydrogenated oils ). Never use sugar, always a substitute. Eat the fruit rather than drink its juice. Never puree, never mash. Eat raw. Avoid cheese and caffeine. Pasta is a side dish not a meal. Eat every three hours to avoid low blood sugar. Include protein in all meals. A rice cake is diet death. Cover half your plate with vegetables, then a quarter with carbs and a quarter with protein. Cook everything al dente, leaving your stomach to do the extra work .
