Christie Brinkley

“I really believe that the more informed you are about the benefits of a healthy bite versus the chain reaction that you’re going to put into effect in your body when you take that bite—you just suddenly don’t want to make that choice for yourself anymore.

Following Brinkley’s plant-based eating style is just one more piece of advice those looking to slim down should follow.
