Patricia Meeden about your training and eating habits
FIT FOR FUN: Patricia, where do you draw your energy?
Patricia Meeden: mainly sleep, I really need my 8 hours. And I give massage to me every week, a Thai. Very generally speaking, relaxation is easily the most Important.
I used to always be a main role to the next, hastening and gave myself hardly any rest. I’ll do it differently today.

I used to be able to jump on a Party without a trouble in the balancing act – today, I realize that warming up and Stretching makes before sense.
Also my metabolism has changed. He is still very good, but two pizzas in a row (no joke – earlier) are now on permanent already noticeable went. And I can suddenly less good milk.
FIT FOR FUN:What do you generally value the food?
Patricia Meeden: First of all, I really have a huge appetite and I have earlier, for example, no thinking of Fast Food made. Meanwhile, I have converted the.
I notice for example that I get in addition to milk and meat as well. It just feels heavy in my stomach.
To get enough protein, I’m experimenting with alternative sources of protein such as Seitan. And brand new I’ve discovered, for example, peas and pasta for me.

FIT FOR FUN: it Was a target for the main role – a diet plan?
Patricia Meeden: no, that is a personal thing for me, just a better awareness about my own eating habits to gain.
I used to like Mali, interval fasting, and then after 18 o’clock nothing more to eat. This was also for my sleep super! But with the evening performances, that to me is just not possible.
Instead, I track everything now, what I about the day, eat in one App. In the end, I would do it gladly, my calorie intake down a bit and screw the two kilos.
FIT FOR FUN: Really, you want to lose weight? You look super?
Patricia Meeden: Yes, I’m occasionally accused of: That I am not a good example to give, if I Instagram something, write, such as “Now I bring myself back in shape”, although of course I obviously not thick-am.
But I think that simply each sensor weight is in its own good. Even when I am as certainly as many former ballet dancers – just a particularly self-critical with me.
Others in the Cast are, for example, is much looser. On the other hand, I am also wearing on the stage of this Mini-mini-mini-costume, the Vivian with the legendary boots.

FIT FOR FUN:How do you work out?
Patricia Meeden: at The Moment I mainly HIIT for me to be discovered. I attach special attention to the Training of my thighs. As a half Latina, I bring a certain predisposition, at this point to recognise.
In the sample phase, however, if from 10 to 18 at the sample, and afterwards the Text is announced, not to I there.
Since the home workout “Insanity” by Shaun T – very old-school on DVD – my rescue then. And because I have, fortunately, by my former ballet training a good muscle tone, I still quite back in shape quickly, simply because the muscles have to remember.
FIT FOR FUN:ballet has you, so to speak, for life, steeled?
Patricia Meeden: one can definitely say so! There is simply nothing Harder than ballet. And not only Musical, but also in film roles, I unconsciously again and again to my ballet training.
One simply has a different presence and also much more upright. That was me, for example, recently for an acting role as a lawyer very useful.
FIT FOR FUN:Still a question: If viruses and bacteria to attack – then you have a secret tip for a strong immune system?
Patricia Meeden: Oja, illness is actually a risk: it Has a Cast, have it all. My personal cure-all is Manuka honey.
Of this new Zealand tea tree honey I treat myself to a day half a teaspoon. This is also great for the voice.
