Whitney Port Calls Bread Her Biggest Diet Vice
July 10 2010, Published 10:00 a.m. ET
Even though Whitney Port has an enviable figure, her diet and exercise routine isn’t perfect. The City star, 24, opens up about her diet don’ts: French fries, pizza, gummy bears and … bread.
“I don’t have the biggest sweet tooth, so it’s not that big of a problem,” she tells me “My junk food issue is savory stuff, like French fries and pizza. I love gummy bears, and I’m a sucker for frozen yogurt, so I’ll go for that, but that’s not that bad.”
She considers bread her ultimate vice.
“Bread and butter is my favorite food. I could eat that all day long, and if someone puts it in front of me, it’s always very hard to say no to it. That’s the biggest challenge.”
While Whitney tries to enjoy her favorites in moderation, that doesn’t always work.
“Sometimes I’ll eat so fast, I won’t even realize how much I’m eating. The key is to eat slow, and make sure you’re not eating past your satisfaction limit.”

Although she tries to go to the gym three times a week, Whitney can sometimes be lax about fitness.
“I will get into phases where I’ll have to work out every day or every other day, and then I’ll get out of the swing of it, and it’ll be hard to get into it again,” she says. “Right now, I’m in a rut. It takes me going to the gym a couple times for me to get back into the routine.”
What does she do?
“I tried Pilates for the first time about two months ago,” she says. “I liked it. I used to dance in high school, so I felt like it felt very natural for my body. Other than that, I try to walk on the treadmill, walk outside, and do weight training.”
But Whitney doesn’t need a trip to an exercise facility to keep fit.
“When I can’t make it to the gym, I’ll do push-ups and sit-ups in my apartment.”
