Hawaiian-born beauty Tia Carrere had her first breakout role on “General Hospital,” but she later made her way over to the big screen with roles like Juno Skinner in “True Lies,” alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger. She also did a brief stint on comedy show “Curb Your Enthusiasm.” After giving birth to her daughter, Bianca, Tia Carrere lost the extra pregnancy pounds by dancing for hours on end as a contestant on the possibly declining dance show, “Dancing with the Stars.”
During her time in the ballroom, Tia Carrere lost more than 20 pounds. Her healthy diet also helped her shed the weight. Tia Carrere signed up for a diet delivery service that emphasizes lots of fruits and veggies. Tia’s meal service uses recipes approved by a nutrition and wellness coach who specializes in weight loss for mothers after pregnancy.
On a typical day on this diet service, Tia Carrere might eat a Greek omelet with feta cheese, tomatoes, zucchini, and olives. A midmorning snack might include fresh fruit spread lightly with peanut butter. This helps provide Tia with healthy fats.
Lunch might feature orange chicken with Asian-style vegetables. Tia might snack on more veggies in the afternoon, followed by a dinner of broiled salmon, paired with a salad. Another typical dinner option is grilled garlic chicken with asparagus, red peppers, and pumpkin bisque soup. If you follow in Tia’s footsteps and try an orange chicken stir fry, use chicken without breading to cut down on the calorie count. Instead, pair it with heart-healthy whole grains like brown rice or quinoa.
While Tia Carrere danced the tango with Arnold Schwarzenegger in “True Lies,” she didn’t have any other dancing experience before signing up for “Dancing with the Stars.” At first, Tia was shocked at how physically demanding the show was. Clearly, Tia learned to love exercise, because a few years later she invited an interviewer to climb a mountain with her instead of sitting at a coffee shop to chat.
Tia Carrere likes to double up on her workouts. After hiking the mountains in her native Hawaii, Tia runs up the stairs in her building. After doing a gym workout, she might take a tennis lesson. It’s no surprise that in beautiful Honolulu, Tia’s favorite workouts are all outdoors.
