Look Like a Cover Model, Part 2

“A lot of people think eating clean is extreme, and I think it’s extreme not to— it just makes your body feel terrible. I think so many people don’t realize how good they can actually feel and how much energy they can actually have if they fuel their body with proper nutrients consistently.” – Kim Dolan Leto

Kim Dolan Leto, 47 years old and mom of three, is one of the top fitness models in the industry. She has appeared on more than 30 magazine covers— 13 at the age of 42— and in hundreds of others. Kim is also a published fitness expert, speaker and author with a passion for leading women to experience transformations that affect their physical, mental and spiritual wellness. Although she began her “fitness career” much later, her story is one that inspires women to not limit themselves because of age (or other factors) and to never give up on a dream. She took the time to sit down and talk with me to share her story, along with her “cover model” beauty and fitness secrets in part one. In part two, Kim shares one of her favorite family recipes.

Kim: “My daughter absolutely loves this dish and helps to prepare it when we have it for dinner.”
