Wong taught her about her body’s requirements, when to exercise and relax, and how to enjoy food without resorting to a restrictive diet. Miss Lawrence expresses her gratitude for Wong’s guidance and says that she will always be thankful for his impact on her life. Despite the rigors of their training sessions leading up to X-Men: First Class, they remained close friends and would often indulge in burgers and fries after their workouts. Wong’s workout plans, including the Espresso Energiser and Anti-Ager, are included in her book. Wong and Miss Lawrence’s workout routines consisted of running, weightlifting, yoga, resistance, and squats. Wong would occasionally treat her to massages after high-intensity workouts in the morning and more relaxing exercises later in the evening.

Celebrity trainer Dalton Wong says that when he trained J-Law he devised workouts that would make her feel good, and get her in great shape without it being detrimental to her work

Celebrities’ personal trainer, Dalton Wong, shared that he tailored Jennifer Lawrence’s workouts to fit her needs and schedule. He wanted to make sure that the exercises didn’t disrupt her work while still achieving her desired fitness level. Wong followed The Feelgood Plan, a program that combines healthy eating habits and workout routines, which helped J-Law attain a superhero-like physique in only three months. Moreover, Wong advised chewing food thoroughly as it releases more nutrients, based on his top tip.

In the lead up to X-Men: First Class, when J-Law played Mystique, they spent between 10-12 hours a day together

Jennifer Lawrence prepared for her role as Mystique in X-Men: First Class by dedicating 10-12 hours per day to training with her instructor, Wong. During this time, Wong guided her on the significance of healthy eating and exercise, emphasizing the importance of balance. Wong didn’t believe in avoiding junk food completely but rather recommended consuming plenty of vegetables, proteins, and healthy carbohydrates. He also emphasized the need to exercise within one’s limits and to pay attention to the body’s signals to determine which exercises were most effective. Wong’s goal for Lawrence was not to exhaust her but to help her feel healthier, more energetic, and stronger, ultimately enabling her to work better.

‘I couldn’t exhaust Jennifer so much that she felt so sore at work the next day, my job was to make her feel better, fitter, and stronger, so that she could work better, says Wong

Wong clarifies that he never intended to exhaust Jennifer to the point of feeling sore at work. Instead, his goal was to help her feel more energized and capable of performing her job effectively. Wong is passionate about promoting healthy lifestyles and believes that individuals should pay attention to their bodies in order to achieve overall wellness. He suggests taking a balanced approach to exercise, including activities like yoga, pilates, and meditation to promote happiness and physical health. In terms of diet, Wong emphasizes the importance of consuming nutrient-rich foods while still allowing for occasional indulgences like chocolate and ice cream. To maintain a balanced diet, he recommends eating high-protein foods for breakfast and lunch, but avoiding them at dinner to ensure sustained feelings of satiation throughout the day. Lastly, Wong suggests avoiding meat consumption before bed, as this can put unnecessary strain on the digestive system. Instead, he advises incorporating meat into breakfast or lunch to allow for efficient digestion.

Eating vegetables as a main meal at night can help aid digestion, Wong says

According to Wong, incorporating vegetables into your dinner can enhance digestion. He emphasizes the importance of consuming the right foods at the right time to achieve desired outcomes. For example, eating quinoa or a small amount of rice for breakfast can help you maintain focus during a business meeting, while consuming baked sweet potato with avocado for lunch can boost your exercise potential. Therefore, it’s crucial to choose appropriate foods based on your objectives.

To alleviate bloating, it’s important to recognize that different foods may affect people in varying ways. Wong recommends identifying potential trigger foods by eliminating them one by one. Common culprits include gluten, dairy, lentils, and salads. By keeping track of suspected trigger foods and testing them individually, you can determine what to avoid and include in your diet.

‘Dalton taught me how to eat, move and live a delicious but healthy life. I will always thank him for that’

The writer learned from Dalton Wong how to live a healthy and enjoyable lifestyle through proper eating and exercise. However, it is important to determine which foods may cause bloating before starting any elimination diets to avoid omitting foods that could be beneficial to one’s health. Wong emphasizes that a diet plan tailored to others may not work for everyone, so it is vital to create a customized plan based on individual needs and sensitivities. Wong’s advice is to become your own trainer and nutritionist. His book, The Feelgood Plan: Happier, Healthier and Slimmer in 15 minutes a day, co-authored with Kate Faithfull-Williams, can be purchased on Amazon for £10.49.
