Katy Perry's Diet and Exercises Tips

Celebrities and models' career tends to be relatively short but very stressful - always in the spotlight, always having to look good, and always ready to jump on the next flight to a photoshoot on the other side of the world.

Celebrities like Katy Perry, she needs to keep her body shape for the sake of her professionalism being a public figure, and her career. Katy Perry is careful to maintain her figure by sticking to a diet and exercise plan while on the road.

The singer has developed a diet and fitness plan with her trainer Harley Pasternak to keep in optimal shape.

When Perry is on the road, the singer ensures that she eats foods that promote energy.

Here's Katy's diet plan.

Breakfast – Crushed oats with apple and a whey protein shake , " I eat egg whites with ham, tomatoes, onion and cheese." – essential carbs and proteins.

Lunch – Chicken with vegetables or a salad with black beans – healthy lean meat and more healthy carbs.

Dinner – Brown rice with chicken teriyaki – slow release carbs and lean protein.

Katy saying in a Women's Health, "On holidays I eat whatever I feel like, But on tour the catering is a lot of grilled chicken—nothing fried. Everything is organic, and I have soy milk. No chips in sight—if they’re in front of you, you eat them."

Katy said "I drink a lot of water, Staying hydrated is important. I don’t understand how some people live off of diet soda. I have a couple of friends who I have never seen with a bottle of water in their hands. I don’t know how they get recharged."

"I still keep my routine on the road," she detailed. Running on a treadmill for an hour is not at all appealing to Perry. The beauty prefers to work in her cardio in more exuberant ways. "I like to jump rope. I can do the cross-over and double jumps," Perry said.

Coca-Cola unveils Madonna-inspired Bottle

Coca Cola has unveiled a new line of fashionable bottles, one of which draws inspiration from Madonna's cone bra ensemble.

Madonna Inspired Diet Coke Bottles was created by celebrated French designer Paul Gaultier, who was recently appointed as the creative director of the fizzy drinks giant. He has now used the original outfit as the inspiration behind two new beverage-bottle designs. His first order of business was to create the new bottles, showing off not only the Queen of Pop's signature look, but his own: white and blue stripes.The cream-colored Madonna bottle is painted with a fishnet corset and, of course, cone bra. John Paul Gaultier is the man who created Madge's iconic 1990 outfit.

Coke has long been a partner to fashion, having worked with Karl Lagerfeld and Dolce and Gabbana in the past, but now the cola brand is taking it a step further, mixing music history and style into one campaign.
