    Personal Trainer

    In July 2012, Florence had to cut all the caffeinated drinks because of her vocal illness. She was advised by her doctor to drink herbal tea instead. It was really difficult for her to stop having coffee, tea, or even diet cokes, all of a sudden. She had a habit of drinking 2 coffees in the morning and 5 diet cokes in a day.

    She eats for energy such as almonds which are full of protein and fiber and keeps you satiated for a longer time. Tuna is another low fat and high protein source.

    She also munches on Pirate’s Booty clocks – 7 pieces at a time which are approx 10 calories at a time.

    Because she is touring most of the time, her performances and gigs serve as her workout. Dancing and singing form a good cardio workout plus dancing is her all-time favorite thing too. It demands a lot of energy, so she tries to keep herself full of energy with the right choice of food.
