Walking the red carpet is part of the job when you’re a celebrity. In addition to spreading the word about upcoming projects, the red carpet also serves as a way for celebrities to showcase the latest fashion and trends. But they need to be in tip-top shape to do this, which is why they recruit the biggest names in fitness and wellness to help them get into red-carpet shape.
Want to know what they eat before they walk a big red carpet? Here are some of the detox foods celebrities swear by because they help keep their metabolism revved while also flushing out any toxins that could cause bloating:
1. Steel-Cut Oats
Having a nutritious breakfast is how most celebrities start off a big day, especially when there's a red carpet involved. Stars like Khloé Kardashian opt for foods like steel-cut oats because they're loaded with protein and fiber and will help stay full and focused. She revealed that she always has a protein smoothie and a bowl of steel-cut oats after a workout as a way to refuel her body.
2. Ghee
Kourtney Kardashian is famous for her holistic and natural way of living, so it's no surprise that the reality star starts her day off with a serving of melted ghee. She swears by the clarified butter because it is rich in vitamins and antioxidants, and helps promote weight loss and fat burning.
"Ghee is the first thing I put in my body every morning. I take one big teaspoon of ghee every morning, melt it on the stove in a pan and drink it out of a cute little ceramic white cup. After I take it, I don't eat anything for 20 minutes, and then I drink a glass of water before eating food," she says on her website.
3. Beets
Beets are known for their cleansing properties, which is all thanks to its high levels of phytochemicals and minerals that detox the liver and body. Stars like Gisele Bündchen swears by this superfood and loves to add them to her smoothies, salads, and meals before a big event.
4. Lemons
Starting the day off with a glass of warm lemon water is how Gwyneth Paltrow gets her metabolism revved. The mom of two swears by it to help boost her metabolism and get her body energized. It also works as an easy way to cleanse the body and flush out toxins.
