Ivanka Trump is a 43-year-old busy mother-of-three who volunteers for a number of charities and runs her own foundation. So how does she stay physically fit?
The eldest daughter of President-elect Donald Trump is the envy of women who are inspired by her slim figure.
In a recent appearance on “The Skinny Confidential Him & Her” podcast, Ivanka revealed she achieved her enviable physique by sticking to a strict diet and vigorous workout regimen.
Ivanka explained that protein and an “excessive” amount of water are the main staples of her diet.
“For a while I was doing weight lifting and I still was not consuming nearly enough protein, and I was not seeing the change. It’s when I married those two things that I started noticing a difference,” she said.
Ivanka said she does cheat on her diet every once in a while. She loves “stews, sausage, noodles,” and melted cheese on everything.
In 2016, Ivanka told Shape Mag she ate like a teenager until she got pregnant with her first child in 2011. She happily feasted on “carbs three times a day, usually in the form of pasta or pizza.”
But after delivering her first child, everything changed. She began focusing on a protein-rich diet, and drinking lots of water. In an Instagram post in October 2024, Ivanka revealed that she “consumes between 30-50 grams of protein per meal.”
Proteins serve as the body’s building blocks. A deficiency of protein in the body can lead to serious diseases.
Protein also helps to keep the body lean and toned because it builds muscles.
“Slowly, I started to actually enjoy, if not crave, these healthier options. Now healthy eating is the norm for me, especially at breakfast and lunch,” Ivanka told Shape Mag.
Ivanka is mom to daughter Arabella Rose, 13, and sons Joseph, 11, and Theodore, 8.
She also revealed to Fit Pregnancy magazine in 2013 that she loved to eat vegetables and fresh fruit.
“It’s such a pleasure to open my refrigerator and see all kinds of fruit,” she said.
Ivanka and her family adhere to a kosher diet. She started dating real estate developer Jared Kushner in 2005. But they broke up after his family of Modern Orthodox Jews objected because she was raised as a Presbyterian Christian.
Ivanka and Jared eventually reunited and she converted to Judaism in 2009. They were married in a Jewish ceremony on October 25, 2009.
