How She Keeps Her Energy Up on the Keto Diet
Peter shared how he opts for a diet that's high in fat and low in sugar and carbs. But he also added that incorporating some sweet potatoes, wild rice, and quinoa every now and then won't kick you out of ketosis. Ever since beginning training for the upcoming John Wick film, Halle has found a small amount of carbs necessary to get her through her day.

Kettlebell vs. Medicine Ball
The pair unanimously answered "kettlebells." Peter explained how the kettlebell's handle makes it "the most versatile piece of equipment out there." Halle's reason was slightly different, sharing the one time the medicine ball hit her in her face and almost broke her nose.

How Halle Controls Her Snacking
"I snack my ass off," Halle said. She's just like us! But she also opts for healthy options such as chickpeas, berries, and sometimes carrots. Her best advice? Keep the junk out of your house to avoid temptation altogether. Peter added that having accessible, prepped food around makes it easier to stay on track.
