Paige’s “Special” Diet

A typical day starts with a breakfast burrito filled with egg whites, cheese and bacon, plus decaf coffee and fresh-squeezed orange juice. Lunch is a five-ounce serving of salmon or sea bass with steamed broccoli, lima beans or brussel sprouts. Dinner at home can include a salad with a steak as reward for a hard day on the set. When she’s working late, her favourite catered dinner is called “The Paige Special” – a deli sandwich piled high with roast beef, Swiss cheese, mayo and salt. Paige snacks on fresh fruit like strawberries, red grapes, watermelon and apples. She also drinks several bottles of water a day, she loves olive oil. “I drizzle a bit on almost everything-bread, steak, fish and veggies. I even put in the tub for a relaxing bath.”

Favourite Indulgences

Paige loves Nutella, a chocolate-hazelnut spread that can be eaten like peanut butter. “Sometimes I’ll just a dig a spoon into a jar or make a crepe with bananas,” she says. Other treats include a slice a flourless chocolate cake or some other chocolate dessert – “the sweeter the better!”

Battle of the Sexes

Knowing that she has to keep up with the guys on-screen is a huge motivator. “It’s a sure-fire way to get me moving,” she says.

Her Favourite Body Part

“My calves. It took years to develop them with dancing, and they’re still strong and shapely.”

How She Stays Sane

Chilling out with her cat, Abigail. “She acts more like a dog than a feline-she’s very loving and cuddly.”

Next Challenge

Mastering martial arts. “They have the same freedom of movement as dancing. And I like that martial arts combine mind, body and spirit by improving your focus and awareness.”
