Her clients include: Jennifer Garner, Elizabeth Berkley, Kate Beckinsale, Jessica Biel, Cindy Crawford, Jennifer Lopez, & Reese Witherspoon just to name a few. Here are a few quotes we pulled from an interview she did with Diet Detective, Charles Platkin PH.D.
"Usually the hardest part is the diet and/or someone’s schedule but it starts with really wanting it. You can wish you were in shape all you want but until you are ready to take action it’s not going to happen. Once someone has made the decision to commit, they make it happen. They don’t eat the cookie, they don’t make excuses and they get up early to workout"
In this interview she did with Dr. Platkin, she also states that,
"When it comes to having the body you want, it is more about the diet than it is about the workout. You still need to workout in order to create shape and build muscle, but in terms of reducing body fat you must pay attention to what you eat."
Valerie also gave a few tips to Shape.com by sharing her philosophy to a balanced healthy diet,
" I abide by the 90/10 rule. That means 90 percent of the time you're going to fill up on healthy foods like lean proteins, low-fat diary, fruits and vegetables, such as Florida grapefruit, spinach and broccoli. A diet with 90 percent of healthy foods leaves room for treats 10 percent of the time. I believe we should have something that satisfies us each day. It may be a piece of dark chocolate or slice of pizza. That will sustain us in the long term. I believe diet is 70 to 80 percent of it, but you need to exercise because exercise changes your shape."*
