Lucy Liu has never looked better than she does now. That isn't surprising, as she has always had a disciplined approach to wellness, mixing workouts with conventional Western medicine, and traditional Eastern healing practices like acupuncture, transcendental meditation, and healthy eating.

When it comes to diets, the Charlie's Angels actress is open to trying different regimens as long as they are healthy and suit her needs. Over the years, she has tested out many eating plans — gluten-free, all-organic, vegan, vegetarian — but none seem to work for too long.

On that note, let's have a look at her diet and workout routine.


Lucy Liu's Diet

Liu, who is a vegetarian, says that eating well is key to staying healthy. She has been a vegetarian for five years and a vegan for a year.

She tried being vegan, as she wanted to eat healthier, but she missed cheese and eggs, so now she eats cheese every once in a while but not eggs. Liu likes the fact that being a vegetarian makes her feel energetic and prevents bloating.

She starts her day with juice, banana, and berries or a burrito with spinach, egg, and tomatoes. For dinner, she has fish with steamed vegetables or salad, and for dessert, she would occasionally enjoy vegetable pizza or pasta.

Lucy Liu is also concerned about the environmental impact of her food choices. She says that the organic produce she buys makes her feel better, as they reduce the impact on the planet.

Liu takes daily multivitamins, vitamins D and C, and an occasional juice cleanse. She feels that doing so helps keep her immune system strong and avoid various illnesess.

Liu loves working out with a group of people so much that she even has some favorite instructors. She enjoys working out with trainer Isaac Boots.

Liu, who is a huge fan of pilates, works out with her trainer Jared Kaplan. They typically do reformer pilates, which helps keep her muscles engaged and achieve long, lean legs, which she loves. She also feels that pilates has helped her with her posture.

Liu says that the best way to approach eating healthy is to find a way you can stick to and be comfortable with in the long term.
