Halle Berry

She is a very successful actor with movie credits that anyone would be proud of:

X-Men, Gothika, Swordfish, Jungle Fever,
Boomerang, The Flintstones....

Ms. Berry may look like she's in her 20s or 30s, but if you've done the math you know better. She looks great because she takes care of herself. She exercises on a regular basis; but more importantly, she eats right, and she eats at the right time.

Here's Halle Berry's typical daily diet:

Breakfast:
2 scrambled eggs, spinach, green peppers, spring onions and parsley.
If she's in a hurry, she'll have fresh berries, peaches, whey powder and diluted cranberry juice.

Please take note:
Breakfast is the biggest meal of her day.

Snack:
Diluted Sugar-free cranberry juice and a grapefruit.

Lunch:
A large tomato stuffed with tuna and celery, or a salmon salad.
