From her defined jaw line and sculpted face to her slender figure, Kate Middleton has royally rocked it in her first majestic year. What's the secret to her slim radiance? Sum it up as a sensible approach to diet and fitness.
A low glycemic index diet is a key part of the Duchess of Cambridge's slim success, according to the Scottish Daily Record. Lean meats, fish, and veggies are the focus, from salads to salmon. Although Kate's mother previously has said she herself lost weight on the Dukan diet, ABC News reports that the Palace now denies that either Kate or her mom follow it.
Fitness is a key part of the royal tradition, and Kate's favorites include running, weight lifting, and yoga, according to the Daily Record. She uses the private gym at Clarence House.
The result? A figure and style that are earning her attention and kudos, such as the Washington Post's December 29 article devoted entirely to Kate's "best outfits for 2011."
