Back in 2012, Fonda shared ten of her favorite health tips for healthy weight loss with BeFiT. One of her first tips was forgetting fad diets.
“Fad diets are the ones promising unrealistic results,” says Fonda. “You should not try to lose more than 2 to 3 pounds per week.”
Fonda also adds that changing your mindset around dieting and health is important. “Don’t think diet, think health.”

Fonda also told BeFiT that eating breakfast is crucial for your health and is the most important meal of the day.
“Every morning commit to starting the day with a nutritious breakfast. People who do so tend to lose weight,” says Fonda.
In fact, research shows that skipping breakfast can slow your metabolism, leave you feeling hungry, and potentially lead to weight gain.
Another one of Fonda’s ten tips that she shared on YouTube is don’t be super rigid. Instead of following strict diet plans, Fonda embraces balance in her day-to-day life.
“You don’t want to feel deprived,” says Fonda. “You can’t sustain that over the long haul. So, if you have a piece of chocolate, it’s okay. Just don’t eat the whole box. Or maybe take a longer walk tomorrow.”
Fonda focuses on eating plenty of healthy food throughout the day, which for her means a lot of produce and not a lot of meat or fish.
“I eat fresh fruits and vegetables every single day. I eat almost no meat. And I’ve cut way back on fish,” Fonda tells Well + Good. “There are places in the world where fish is people’s only source of protein, so in a country like ours, where we have other choices, we should reduce our eating of fish.”
According to Hello! Magazine, Fonda maintains her health by always having something healthy to snack on.
“Keep healthy snacks on hand for between meals—things such as fruit or low-fat cottage cheese or string cheese. Red grapes go well with cheese,” says Fonda.
