Actress Halle Berry has always been a huge fan of fitness and her diet helps support her health and well-being. Since being diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at the age of 22, Berry has stayed away from certain foods and she sat down with Women’s Health to talk about the foods you won’t find in her diet.
Sugar
Before she was diagnosed with diabetes, Berry loved sugar. The actress used to start her day with sugary cereal and always had a candy bar with her. After being diagnosed, she stopped eating sugar completely and within a few weeks, her cravings disappeared. She only eats sweats on her kid’s birthdays and she snacks on low-sugar fruits.
White Carbs
She quickly learned that the body breaks down refined carbs into sugar, so she stopped eating them to manage her diabetes. She doesn’t eat rice, pasta, or bread. After cutting out white carbs, she swapped high-carb foods with low-carb alternatives and healthy fats. Instead of eating mashed potatoes or pasta, she eats cauliflower mash with butter and salt and zucchini noodles.
Conventional Wine
As a wine lover, she didn’t want to to completely give up wine, so she found a natural, organic alternative that contains no added sugars or chemicals and they don’t have as much sugar or alcohol as the average bottle of wine.
