Since she retired from professional sports, Lindsey Vonn has a new favorite pastime: working out. And today on Earth Day 2021, she put her fit figure to work on Instagram Stories, clad in a blue bikini and promoting SeaLegacy, whose mission is "to create healthy and abundant oceans for us, and for the planet." The former Olympic skier has been training with Gunnar Peterson "to be lean and fit," she recently revealed to New York Post's Alexa magazine. This week, the 36-year-old headed south-of-the-border, flaunting her washboard abs in a series of bikinis—including in the Earth Day photo. Read on to see the pic, and to hear about what she been doing to achieve those fitness goals. 1 She Makes Working Out a Priority @lindseyvonn / InstagramVonn doesn't use her vacation time as an excuse to bow out of workouts. "Wouldn't be a vacation if I wasn't working out! #happy," she captioned a video of an intense beach sweat session, using huge rocks instead of weights, like in this Earth Day Photo. "Thx for the program @gunnarfitness." 2 She Is All About Goal Setting Vonn is all about goal setting, making them healthy and achievable. In a recent Instagram story she revealed a few of them: focusing on taking care of herself, making clean living a priority, and continuing to work out "because it makes me happy and I feel better when I do it… and just ENJOY LIFE!" 3 She Eats Clean Vonn recently revealed she has been working with nutritionist Phil Goglia and focusing on hydration, eating clean, and meal timing. "I try not to eat too much in the morning before I work out," she told Women's Health. "I'm not working out crazy hard, but I notice I feel better; not as weighed down." Post sweat-session Lindsey eats "egg white omelets with broccoli, chicken, and pepper, and stuff like that," while lunch consists of chicken or salmon with kale or cabbage and dinner, a mix of protein and veggies: like chicken salad with avocado or a zucchini pasta with bolognese meat sauce. Her go-to snacks? Almonds, kiwis, and blueberries. 4 She Works Out Hard Photo by Ethan Miller/Getty ImagesVonn doesn't take it easy when it comes time to work out. Her Instagram feed is filled with videos of her sessions, and each one is more hardcore than the next. Her workouts with Peterson focus on weight and strength training, even on the beach, where, as we've said, she lifts huge rocks! 5 She Celebrates Her Victories View this post on Instagram A post shared by L I N D S E Y • V O N N (@lindseyvonn)Vonn isn't shy about sharing her physical fitness victories. "You can judge me if you want, but I've been working hard in the gym and taking care of me…. so I'm going to post some bikini pics because I'm proud of myself," she wrote alongside a series of bikini shots. "#beyourself."
"Definitely buying more!"

Bread often gets a bad reputation. "There are too many carbs in bread" or "bread will make you bloat" are all common complaints associated with the popular bakery item.While these things are true if you eat two slices of bread more than once a day, and on a regular basis, bread can still fit into a healthy diet. The trick? In addition to limiting your intake, the key is to find a brand that contains quality ingredients.Sydney Greene, MS, RD, registered dietitian and member of our medical board, shares a few tips on how you can go about finding a healthy bread option in the grocery store nearest you. She even shares her top two favorite brands. (Related: The Healthiest Breads to Eat for Weight Loss, According to Dietitians.)Is bread healthy for you?"It can be! When choosing a bread, opt for one with fiber, protein, and no added sugar," says Greene. "Slices with three or more grams of fiber is a great place to start and the fewer the ingredients, the better."What is your favorite type of bread?Greene has two favorite types of bread. Her first choice? Bread Alone Bakery's Whole Wheat Sourdough. Per 1 slice (39 g): 90 calories, 0 g fat (0 g saturated fat, 0 g trans fat), 210 mg sodium, 19 g carbs (2 g fiber, 0 g sugar), 4 g protein "Whole wheat sourdough is great for those with sensitive stomachs thanks to the slow fermentation process and naturally occurring good bacteria that partially breaks down GI irritants such as phytic acid, wheat, and gluten," says Greene.Sourdough is made with the help of yeast and beneficial bacteria.The naturally occurring sourdough yeast that ferments the wheat flour produces carbon dioxide, which causes the bubbles that you see in a slice of bread to form and leavens the dough.The bacteria produce many compounds, such as lactic acid (which causes that slightly sour taste) as well as enzymes like phytase, according to a Journal of Nutrition&Food Sciences study. Phytase is what breaks down phytic acid, as Greene mentions. Phytic acid is known as an "anti-nutrient" that can impair the body's natural absorption of iron, zinc, and calcium and may promote mineral deficiencies. But in sourdough bread, phytate concentration can be decreased by 71%!Greene also notes that sourdough is a good option for those with sensitive stomachs. That's because this type of bread has a longer fermentation period than most store-bought breads, which use fast-acting yeast.Because the yeast has more time to ferment the wheat, it has more time to break down the protein and carbohydrates in flour, most notably a type of carb called fructan. It's this carbohydrate that can cause digestive distress for many people when they eat ultra-processed bread, according to a Gastroenterology study.Her second choice? Food For Life Ezekiel Bread. Per 1 slice (34 g): 80 calories, 0.5 g fat (0 g saturated fat, 0 g trans fat), 75 mg sodium, 15 g carbs (3 g fiber, 0 g sugar), 5 g protein "Food For Life Ezekiel Bread is another excellent choice as they use whole ingredients that have been minimally processed," says Greene. "When ingredients such as seeds, nuts, or grains are overly processed, their nutrient density is diminished. The seedier and heavier the bread, the better."What's a healthier bread swap?If you're looking to reduce the amount of bread in your diet, Greene has a clever replacement: make your own toast…from sweet potatoes!"Slice a sweet potato length-wise in a 1/4 inch thick piece, toast it up, and add your favorite toppings," she says.For more, check out Surprising Side Effects Bread Has On Your Gut, Says Science.For more healthy eating news, make sure to sign up for our newsletter!
