Nutrition
Diet as a Lifestyle
Alexa isn’t a believer in ‘lose-fat-fast’ diets. For her, dieting is a lifestyle, and foods that she eats are more than just calories. They nourish Alexa’s body and help her become the fittest, healthiest, and strongest version of herself. She said;
“The key to weight loss success is establishing a healthy lifestyle. I don’t believe in fad diets – sure they work temporarily but diets aren’t realistic long term solutions. Your body has specific needs, especially when you’re working out. “
