Bunny food and intermittent fasting for Kelly Rippa

As she faces 50, Kelly Rippa remains as energetic as a bunny rabbit. Perhaps it is because she eats like one. 

According to Women's Health, Rippa primarily follows a plant-based, alkaline diet, which she eats within an 8-hour window each day. Her nutritionist Daryl Gioffre shared Rippa will occasionally eat meat, such as wild-caught fish. Otherwise, she primarily eats a moderate amount of protein and fiber-rich carbs.

"Kelly is a big fan of intermittent fasting, but Gioffre says she doesn't do it to restrict how much she eats. 'Intermittent fasting is not about eating less, it's about eating less often,' he says. 'Calorie counting goes out the window—when it's healthy food, nutritious food, you eat as much of it as you need to feel satiated.'"
