Ayesha Curry is a Food Network star, busy mom of two, and wife to the incomparable Stephen Curry. She has a gorgeous body, and she showed it off in a jumpsuit at the ESPYs on July 12. She’s a chef and author, and I love that she really EATS a ton of food. I think she proves healthy food can still be delicious. But she’s also not about deprivation! She eats rice and has wine, like many of us! She spilled on her daily diet to PEOPLE: “I don’t know… balance ever really exists when you’re trying to juggle work, family, etc. However, I do believe in balance when it comes to food. I believe in enjoying things in moderation. Instead of depriving yourself, just look for healthier options and ways to make things you love in a healthier way.” She’s lost 20 pounds since January 2017!
Since she has a sweet tooth, she tries to make the most of it by making a healthier version: “Last night I was craving brownies. To fill that craving I made gluten-free brownies with raw cacao and opted to use coconut oil.” She also works out five to six times a week. “I am someone who really needs variety in exercise. One day I may go to a spin class or to kickboxing. Recently I’ve also gotten into agility training — it’s intense! I look for exciting, fast-paced and fresh ways to incorporate exercise into my routine. For days that I am not in the mood to work out, I may take the girls for a walk to make sure that I get moving.”
