PEOPLE MAGAZINE: BODY WATCH POSTED BY ANGIE ON SUNDAY, JUNE 28, 2015
Tara is featured in the current issue of People Magazine on news stands now. A scan from the magazine has been added to the gallery.
As a former Olympic athlete, Tara Lipinski has always been aware of what she eats.
“Since exercise and diet have been a part of my life since I was young, I know balance and moderation are key,” the 5’1? figure skater tells PEOPLE. “One of the biggest lessons I learned from my athletic career is that I must listen to my body to stay at peak performance levels. But when I need to splurge, I splurge. And then when I need to bring it back to greens and fruit, I do.”
And what exactly does a splurge look like for the creator of the lifestyle blog Essentially Tara? “I don’t have a cheat meal, but rather, cheat snacks: a bagel, Hershey’s chocolate or my obsession, diet cola.”
Check out her daily food log below — and pick up the new issue of PEOPLE (on newsstands Friday) to read more about her diet.

“It’s great that Tara is working out in the morning and fueling afterward, but bran flakes and the bagel are too many carbs,” says dietitian Keri Glassman of NutritiousLife.com. “And while butter can actually be a good way to get in some fat, I’d like to see her go for 1 to 2 teaspoons.” As for lunch, Glassman says Lipinski is doing a “great job but can add a whole grain salad for more nutrients.” She also praises Lipinski for picking her sweet indulgence wisely: “Chocolate has antioxidants!” For dinner, Glassman likes the combination of lean protein and veggies but suggests Lipinski up the amount of food.
NOTE: It is recommended that women eat at least 1,200 calories per day, and men should eat at least 1,800 calories per day.

TARA LIPINSKI TALKS STAYING FIT ON THE ICE POSTED BY ANGIE ON THURSDAY, JUNE 18, 2015
"Tara Lipinski, who told gold in figure skating at the 1998 Olympics, says she can bring out some moves at the rink. Perhaps not to the extent that she showed in Nagano, but Lipinski says that hitting the ice is a great way to stay in shape, and that eye on good health was part of the message at the annual Sports Spectacular gala in Los Angeles. The event is a big fundraiser in the fight against diabetes and obesity."
