Anyone with an ear to the ground of music knows exactly who Alicia Keys is. Her soulful voice and exquisite piano playing have delighted millions of fans for over a decade. Her debut album, Songs in a Minor sold over 235,000 copies the first week and landed her five wins at the Grammy awards that year. since arriving on the scene in 2001, Keys has gone on to release eight additional albums including a special 10 year anniversary addition of Songs in a Minor.
Even with her outstanding career in music, Alicia still ventured out to new and exciting projects such as movies and small screen roles, and has recently even moved onto the Broadway scene with her participation in the smash hit, Stick fly. She additionally takes great pride in her ongoing charity work through her organization Keep a Child Alive, a non-profit site dedicated to education and research of HIV/AIDS.
Despite her international fame and incomparable talent, Keys considers her most important job of all to be playing mother to baby boy Egypt Daoude Dean. Keys credits baby Egypt for being her inspiration not only to create but to also slow down in life and truly enjoy the little things. Still like most mothers, after the birth of Egypt, came the weight loss struggle. while Keys did manage to show off quite an impressive shape only six short weeks after the birth, she worked extremely hard to get there. Keys reportedly worked out five days a week with celebrity trainer Harley Pasternak (also known for perfecting such bodies of work as Eva Mendes and Jessica Simpson) and adhered religiously to his 5-Factor Diet program. The 5-Factor diet consists of five meals a day made with five important ingredients; Protein, fiber, healthy carbs, a healthy fat, and a sugar-free beverage. The plan also includes five days of intense 25 minute workouts with major focus on strength training and core work. while it may take the average mama a little longer than six weeks to squeeze back into a slinky black dress, with a program of five meals a day and a workout that’s complete in just 25 minutes, it might just be worth a try!
