Hillary: Don’t eat standing up

Posted by: Glenn Blain - Posted in 2008, Hillary Clinton on Sep 21, 2007

The October issue of Fitness magazine contains a feature entitled “Secrets of Super Powerful Women,” in which ten top female members of Congress — including Hillary Clinton — tell of their tricks to staying healthy and fit.

Clinton lists her healthiest habit as “drinking lots of water. Her worst: “Indulging my passion for chocolate more often than I should.â€?

On how to avoid eating too much, she says: “At events, I don’t eat while standing. When
I sit down to dinner, I try not to eat the extras, like bread. And if I’m scheduled to go to three dinners, I only eat one.”

Clinton also advocates walking. Lots of walking.

“In Washington, I walk in Rock Creek Park and around the Capitol grounds. You can get a good workout just going up and down the stairs of the Capitol a few times a day. In New York, I take walks in Chappaqua with my husband and our dog Seamus.â€?
