Illness led Jordin to lose her weight
Talking with Today, Jordin revealed what made her take a serious step in her life.
“I got really sick in the fall of 2010 right after Broadway, and I was just like, I am not going to take my health for granted anymore. This changes right here, right now.”

She continued:
“I had gotten really sick. And I was about to celebrate my birthday and I was like, ‘I should be in the prime of my life right now. I shouldn’t be feeling like this. I really need to make my health a priority.’ And that’s what I did.”
Before that, she never thought of eating healthier food, or of toning her body.

“I started walking with my cousin every day.”
The main turning point was Christmas when Jordin was able to resist baked foods.
But the thing is, she did not make any diet plan to that date.
Build muscle and tone up
Jordin then started toning up her body and dropped 15 more pounds in six months.
“My friend introduced me to a trainer. If I couldn’t do a sit-up or pull-up, we’d just move on to the next move.”
Avoiding carbs after 5 in the evening, and eating high-fiber foods was the best thing she did during that phase.

Healthy foods and workout

She achieved the goal by trying out the various workout and diet plans, which we have discussed below.
Her secret diet plan
Jordin makes sure to consume a gallon of water every day.
Her main motto for losing weight and being fit is to stay hydrated.
All other artificial sugar foods, red meats, fatty products, and caffeine are a no-no.
In an interview with Today Magazine, she said:
“Ask yourself, ‘Am I really hungry, or am I having this because it looks good?’ It doesn’t have to be about sacrificing all the things you love. Just be conscious of portion size and why you’re eating.”
Jordin’s meal consists of:
Breakfast: Low-fat Yogurt, Protein Shake
First Lunch: Brown Rice, Grilled Chicken(high protein)
Second Lunch: 2 pcs Hard-boiled eggs, 4 pcs Beef meatballs, Turkey
Post Lunch Snacks: Celery sticks with peanut butter
Dinner: Caesar salad, grilled salmon
Dessert: Mango, Berries, Frozen Yogurt
Jordin’s meal plan looks like a lot, but it is only limited to 1800 calories.
Hired a trainer for workout
Jordin not only started eating healthy foods and diets but also did full-body exercises.
She hired a personal trainer, Eric Small, and he trained her from lunges to boxing to sprints.
