SHANIA Twain seems convinced that drinking a berry smoothie or two before going on stage in Las Vegas will be enough to get her through a grueling two-hour show.
A nutritionist said his diet could prevent “gassy” episodes on stage, but urged the country star to prioritize foods rich in protein and muscle to avoid other serious problems.
Shania, 58, spoke to The US Sun about her diet and fitness regime in early May.
The Grammy-winning artist was about to begin her latest residency in Las Vegas.
“I’m an athlete, I have to breathe, I have to project. I have to follow everything,” she said in an exclusive interview.
“I only drink liquids all day until after the show. I drink my food, then I mix my food.

Nutritionist Rania BataynehMPH, stated that Shania, a dedicated vegetarian, prioritized “thinness” and “comfort.”
“Shania may not want to eat during the day because she wants to look as thin as possible and not feel bloated,” Batayneh told The US Sun.
“Shania has previously shared that she is vegetarian and that many vegetarian protein sources can induce gas and bloating.
“When beans reach the large intestine, for example, they ferment and produce gases.
“A liquid diet is also digested more quickly than solid, whole foods, which can minimize bloating.
“Shania may not want to consume whole proteins, so she maintains a certain comfort level on stage.”

To chew

“Jennifer Lopez is also in her 50s.
“JLo, Madonna and even Gwen still have all those muscles.
“They maintain an active lifestyle that can support lean muscle mass.
“Shania’s body composition doesn’t look as toned as Gwen Stefani’s.
“Protein is important for maintaining muscle mass.”

“She could make chickpea stew and enjoy lentils.
“Her body should be able to tolerate these vegetarian protein sources.
“Shania shared that she likes pasta, chips and snacks after a performance.
“This should also be balanced with extra protein.
