Mario Lopez and Audrina Patridge Dish on Diet Secrets
Mario Lopez and Audrina Patridge, are dishing on their diet secrets in this week’s issue of TV Guide.
Mario admits that he has an addiction to exercise and says,
“I never feel awake unless I’m sweating.”
Yuck. Ok, moving on. Mario is a self-described “fat baby” turned “hyper kid” who exercises for a minimum of one hour a day. He runs, bikes, swims, plays basketball and, three times a week, throws punches at a boxing gym. He even does yoga. Mario says,
“I like to mix it up because I don’t want to get bored. You keep your muscles guessing, and you stay motivated.”
Lopez says he doesn’t count calories or measure body fat, but he does graze all day. He’ll have fruit, yogurt and granola for breakfast, chicken and rice for a midday meal and for dinner, sushi. When he splurges, it’s on rocky-road ice cream or chocolate-chip cookies. Yum! And while Lopez says his ideal woman is as health-conscious as he is, this single stud also doesn’t want to date a stick:
“I like healthy, curvy women. Women who look like women, not girls.
Any takers?
While Mario is busy sweating, Audrina is vacuuming. Trust me, it will make sense in a minute. The Hills star says she likes Latin food and In-N-Out burgers—but makes sure to watch her portions. She says,
“I order whatever I want when I’m out, but I don’t eat all of it,”
To maintain her bikini-ready curves, she works up a sweat five hours a week, doing laps in her backyard pool, hiking in Runyon Canyon or boogying in dance class. The star says,
“I go to the beach on the weekends and play volleyball. Or I’ll go kayaking in Malibu. I like finding things to do outside. I hate being cooped up in the gym.”
When she does head to the gym, Patridge focuses on toning and defining: after 15 minutes on the elliptical glider, she works her arms with 5-pound weights, keeps her belly flat by doing crunches on a balance ball and lifts her posterior with squats and lunges. Even at home she’s no couch potato. She says,
“When I’m sitting in front of the TV, I lift 5-pound weights or do squats. And I wear heels when I vacuum because it works my calves and my butt.”
See, I told you the vacuuming thing would make sense!

I hardly ever even wear heels when I dress up! That’s some serious dedication to your calves…
This is too much. OK – he’s a hotty, love his cute smile. As for her gym workout, I don’t know too many women who can stay in such great shape by lifting 5lb weights and spending 15 minutes on the elliptical. It’s a good thing she does a lot of physical outdoor activity. I don’t think her gym routine is doing much good, though. Five lbs weights? Wow! It’s time to move up those numbers into the double digits and get a real workout.
Hey, I like the vacuuming thing…..clean and get a work out in! Heck ya!
Erin – you know what’s funny? I almost always wear high heels! I swear, it’s a disease! Blame it on me being only 5′4″ and really, really wanting to be taller!
SpinDiva – I agree that it’s definitely her 5 hours a week outdoor workouts keeping her in shape. Although, remember that Madonna’s trainer was recently quoted as saying she doesn’t lift weights heavier than 3 lbs!! Now, whether we believe that or not…. well….
Of course, I suppose she does use her own body weight while training so maybe that’s where her guns come from! 
Mark – That’s what I say! I have been known to workout while doing the strangest things! Calf raises while brushing my teeth and plie squats while washing dishes. I know it’s crazy but I’m a busy girl!
i am really glad to hear that these two are working really hard to work out. mario lopez is maintained himself after saved by the bell. …

It’s a good thing she does a lot of physical outdoor activity.
