powerlifter Naomi Kutin still from 'Supergirl' trailer
Powerlifter Naomi Kutin lives in a household where only healthy foods are permitted.
“My mom is a nutritionist, so to begin with in my house, we don’t have junk food or anything,” the 16-year-old nicknamed ‘Supergirl’ revealed with a laugh. “Pretzels are considered junk food in my house. We also have a lot of protein. I make sure to have protein with every meal, which can be challenging sometimes when I just want some cereal. My parents say, ‘No, you need to get some protein,’ so I have to end up having fish or something.”
Kutin started lifting at the tender age of 8, and broke her first record when she was 9. Her father was a powerlifter for over 30 years, and her brother also competes in the sport.
