Angelina Jolie in Salt - Celebrity News - Marie Claire

Angelina Jolie’s trainer has opened up about her secret Salt diet, revealing how she got in special agent shape for her latest action role.

Angelina’s been wowing crowds around the world, as she hits the red carpet on the Salt publicity trail. And boy does she look good!

And the secret of her gorgeous figure? Carbs.

‘She ate about five small meals a day and stuck to a diet of 70% carbs and 30% protein’ Angelina’s trainer Simon Crane revealed to American magazine, People.

Junk food was banned while the star was getting into tip top shape, and alcohol was a weekend-only treat.

Ange worked on building muscle for her role as CIA agent Evelyn Salt, and avoided cardio exercise, to help ‘put muscle on without losing weight.’

The star – who has in the past admitted she would like to play a female Bond – slogged through trainings sessions five days a week to get in shape and build stamina for the action role.

Her fitness programme is said to have included a mixture of fight and strength training to help her prepare for tricky stunts on set.

And she's looking better than ever after the gruelling regime.

‘She knew that she was going to suffer!’ said the trainer who whipped her into shape.

But it seems Ange enjoyed all the hard work. ‘She loves doing action,’ he added.

I cannot agree that she looks 'better than ever', far from it. She still looks very thin - a throwback to the dark days that followed her mother's death. Ange's 'Tomb Raider' days? Now THERE'S where she looked her best - slim, toned and gorgeous!

Skalitore....no sory, she looks to thin. With all the respect for her she must have eaten more.

I think she looks lovely! Yes she's thin, but she must have stamina and energy, otherwise she never would have been able to do her own stunts

I can't believe that some people think she looks better than ever!!! She looks horrible, too thin, not too far away from a live skeleton, we would like to see a curve, tone women not a piece of flat sheet!!!

She is far from too thin, just perfectly toned and still with all the curves in the right places, and looks very fit and healthy!

Well..she has her ups and downs and arounds with her weight and skin issues..and veiny hands etc..but ..would I ever love to have her legs...and then some...lucky her.
Its up to her what she does..probably got that sort of metabolism anyway...grrrr ..I guess the onset docs check her out .Shes never been exactly 'fat'! Seems to depend on her demeanour and happiness how she goes about weight issues.

It tragic that some say Angeline looks lovely! I am a big fan of her talent but I find her current condition painfully thin also known as anorexic. Bad bad bad role-model. She is skeletal looking and it's TRAGIC that media describes it as "lovely". I am a size 6 and have a very toned, atheltic body so my words are not the results of envy of her thin figure!

I'm a fan of Angelina but she stills looks way way too thin at the moment and has done for years. I'd say practically anorexic, she has to be underweight! She looked a lot better a few years ago, she'd only need to go up a couple of sizes and she'd look much healthier and more youthful as it would plump up her face (in a good way!)
