Danica Patrick Shares Wellness Tips Through Eye-Catching Photo
Danica Patrick knows the diet that suits her — and she’s excited to showcase the results.
“I indulge in protein,” Patrick, 44, posted on her Instagram Story on Sunday, September 27, alongside a bikini photo highlighting her abs. “I’m not concerned about vegetables. I enjoy sourdough bread, rice, and potatoes. I lift weights a maximum of 3 times a week. I took 6 weeks off this summer and still maintain my abs. It’s way easier to keep muscle than to build it. Just put in the effort.”
In the following slide, Patrick shared a snapshot of herself at what appeared to be her home, relaxing with a glass of wine on the couch, dressed in a sweatshirt that seemed to have dog hair all over it.
“And I adore wine!!!!!!!!” she wrote. “I can handle the dog hair.”
Patrick’s posts came less than two months after she responded to body shamers who told her to “eat something” after she revealed a bikini photo taken during a recent trip to Ibiza.
“Since many have suggested I eat after my last post, I’ll share more meals,” she wrote on her Instagram Story above a photo of her lunch. “This lunch, and for breakfast, I had 3 eggs plus 2 whites and a generous slice of homemade @brooke_selman sourdough with butter and blueberry jam. 🤤.”
She then flaunted her muscles in the next slide with a photo of her paddleboarding.
“If you don’t lift weights (like seriously) and consume your protein (not just 2 eggs), you won’t build muscle,” she continued. “And the more muscle you gain, the more you can eat!!!!!! That’s all.”
Patrick’s latest bikini post also comes in the wake of her ex-boyfriend, Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, making remarks about her on Cam Heyward’s “Not Just Football” podcast.
“I dated Danica and she had just retired,” Rodgers, 42, commented in the September 10 episode. “She was depressed and not enjoyable to be around. But I didn’t leave because I was trying to be a good partner.”
Rodgers went on to state that Patrick had wanted them to purchase a house together, and when he disagreed, the couple decided to seek counseling. The two found themselves in isolation together after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Though Patrick hasn’t directly addressed Rodgers’ comments, she appeared unfazed in her initial Instagram post following the episode’s release. On September 21, she shared several images from her recent trip to St. Tropez.
“Along with the best company we returned to Amalfi, and it was stunning!” she wrote in the caption. “Discovered prephylloxera [sic] wine made in Ravello. And I fell in love with St Tropez!”
