This diet has been named “one of the healthiest diets on the planet” by many nutritionists, including Dr. Michael Mosley.

Meanwhile, the Perricone diet, named for Dr. Perricone, is a diet consisting of high-protein foods, non-starchy vegetables, fruits, nuts, yogurt, olive oil, and whole grains, thus similar to Mediterranean diet.

Exercise is just as important as diet to lose weight and stay fit, and Letizia makes sure to exercise frequently.

“If you exercise, you do it 100 percent. If you practice yoga, don’t stop until you know as much as your instructor. She is like that with everything, with her body too. She watches what she eats to the extreme. .”

Another close friend shared the Queen’s fitness regimen, explaining that the King also joins in when he’s around.

They said, “The queen exercises with weights every other day. She always recommends them when someone asks her. If the king is free, she would also join her gym routine.”
