Here's What Happens to Gisele Bündchen and Tom Brady's Insane Diet When They Go on Vacation
Lifestyle
Gisele Bündchen and Tom Brady eat really clean on the regular — the 100-percent-organic, mostly-vegetables, no-sugar, no-flour, no-salt, no-dairy sort of clean, according to a recent reportfrom the power couple's personal chef.
But the couple has another chef — Joanne Gerrard Young, a holistic nutritionist — at their home in Costa Rica, where Gisele spends lots of time and Tom visits about once a year.
Young recently spoke to Well and Good about what she preps for the stars when they're on vacation. Spoiler alert: They barely bend the rules. Here are the basic guidelines:
1. Eat 80 percent raw.
"They don't always do raw, but since it's so easy to do in Costa Rica, we do a 80/20 raw diet, with big colorful salads and lots of fresh veggies," Young told Well and Good. That leaves the last 20 percent of the plate open for lean protein and grains.
2. Make lunch the biggest meal.
They end the day with a smaller dinner.
3. Serve grains and protein separately.
"'G' likes to eat vegetarian sometimes, so we'll do a grain separate from the protein," Young said.
4. Juice cleanse to reset.
"[Gisele's] totally into juice cleanses, so she'll do about one per year," Young revealed. Young's juice cleanses include "delicious, nutritious juices, superfood smoothies, cleansing and detoxifying teas, coconut water, and reviving potassium broth," according to her website.
5. Skip dessert — unless it's raw and vegan.
"[Gisele and Tom] didn't want to do desserts anymore, for healthy eating purposes, but I shared all of my raw vegan desserts with them and they love them and have them all the time," Young said.
