Jason Harley has been working with Hollywood A-listers such as Brad Pitt, Jennifer Aniston, John Travolta, Justin Timberlake and Pamela Anderson for years now and knows how to get them into tip top shape!
He crafted a plan for his clients to help them lose weight, which consists of very healthy and simple eating.
Here's a breakdown of what he would have them do:
For breakfast they would eat, "Egg whites and a spinach omelette with some fresh fruit. For a snack in the afternoon hummus with some pita bread. For lunch they would have a nice salad with some kind of protein and then for dinner I would do some kind of grilled fish or some meat with vegetables. My whole style of cooking to this day is six ingredients or less."
