Angie Harmon in Shape Magazine

With two kids and a more-than-full-time job, Angie Harmon has trouble getting to the gym or finding an hour to go for a run. Her solution? “I try to think of weekend activities that involve Jason and the kids as much as possible,� she says. That includes long bike rides, swimming, hiking, and jumping on the backyard trampoline.

Angie may have been born with genes on her side (both of her parents are former models), but even so, she knows she has to stay on track when it comes to her diet. For Angie, that means eating small amounts of the Southern-style comfort foods she loves. “People have a misconception of Southern food. They think we deep-fry hamburgers and then put marshmallow cream on top of them!� says the Dallas native. “But our food is about big flavor, not huge amounts of grease or fat. And when food tastes good, you don’t need giant servings to feel satisfied.�

To ensure healthy eating, the family sticks to an all-organic diet, avoiding sugar (or “L-O-L-L-I-P-O-P-S,� as Angie spells out in front of her daughters) whenever possible. “I even dilute the girls’ apple juice,� she says. Sure, every now and then they get a bite of birthday cake at a friend’s party. “It’s hilarious,� says Angie. “They’re like Tasmanian devils whirling around the room. You can definitely tell these girls don’t eat sugar very often!�
