90 Day Fiancé star Larissa Dos Santos Lima is enjoying the sun in her backyard, no vacation needed, and posting the selfies on her social media. Lima, 37, shared a picture of herself posing in a tiger-print bikini, against a background of green grass and trees. “Biggie Leo energy,” she captioned the post. Lima has gone through quite a transformation since her stint on the reality TLC show. Here’s how Lima lost weight, and why she got cosmetic surgery.

1. Low Carb, High Protein Diet


Lima follows a mostly low carb healthy diet. “I try to eat healthy, don’t eat a lot of carbs, the same stuff that everyone does to lose weight,” she says. “For breakfast, I eat two eggs, two pieces of lean ham, whole grain toast with a small amount of real butter. For lunch, lean turkey or ham on whole grain bread with avocado, lettuce and tomato. Dinner is an eight-ounce cut of New York strip steak or broiled eight-ounce chicken with a bowl of salad. I use lemon as a dressing. I also eat unlimited fruits and veggies as snacks.”

2. Weight Loss and Surgery

Lima lost 40 pounds and then got cosmetic surgery. “I started at 170 pounds,” she says. “Before COVID, I went to the gym with my boyfriend [Eric Nichols] four times a week, 60 minutes a day, doing various cardio, arm, leg and stomach workouts… Even though I was working out, I still was unhappy because I had a bulge in my belly. People can ask why get surgery if you can go to the gym, but there are some things you cannot get rid of.”

3. Back Workouts

Lima shares her workouts on social media. “A little of my back workout!!” she says. “I love backs because they give the illusion of a thin waist, of course with a lot of training and dedication. Sometimes I think I’ll never make it, but with dedication I’ll get there 🏋🏻 ♀️👇🏼 What’s your favorite workout?”

4. Weights and Running

Lima used to be a runner but lifts weights now too. “In Brazil I used to run every day 5 km in the past, never was a fan of lifting weights, (even though now I'm focused on going to the gym 3x + a week),” she says. “Today I ran 2.86 km but I'm feeling great to run because I love the outdoors. Are you an indoor or outdoor person?”

5. Fresh Start

Lima wanted to clear up any bad blood between herself and her former mother-in-law after her divorce from husband Colt Johnson. "A new year, a new decade is quickly approaching," she said in 2020. "While I have been working to better my mind, body, and spirit in 2019, I want 2020 to be the year or renewal and to cleanse all the bad energy from the past. There has been some very negative back and forth between myself and a former family member. This is something I do not want to do anymore. I don't want to fight with her, as it is all in the past."

Nina Dobrev, star of the Netflix hit Love Hard, was with boyfriend Shaun White at the Olympic games, cheering on the legend—but on social media, she was underwater, swimming with sharks. Dobrev was just one of many celebs who shared photos of themselves from tropical locales—in her case, on a tour with One Ocean Diving, in a throwback photo. We also spotted Ashanti in paradise, Dua Lipa and Chantel Jeffries in Miami, and many more. How do they all stay so fit while keeping so busy? Read on to see all the ways these celebrities stay in shape and the photos that prove they work—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bathing Suit Photos!


1. Nina Dobrev

When it comes to her diet, Dobrev says that she has changed her outlook on eating in recent years. “I used to eat three full meals and then I would not be able to move after each meal,” she told Shape. “I would be so full and tired. Now, I eat all the time but portion control is what’s important for me—I’m eating more in total but not more at a time.” "A portion is the amount of food you put on your plate, while a serving is an exact amount of food. To get a better handle on what you're eating, you could carry around measuring cups. Or you could use everyday objects as reminders of appropriate serving sizes, which is what the Mayo Clinic Diet recommends," says the Mayo Clinic. "Many foods match up to everyday objects. For example, a medium pepper is about the size of a baseball and equals one vegetable serving. While not all foods match visual cues, this method can help you become better at gauging serving sizes and practicing portion control."

2. Ananya Panday

Actress Ananya Panday wore a tight yellow dress to advertise her latest film, Gehraiyaan, on Amazon Prime video on Instagram—and also shared a trailer from the movie. In addition to being an actress, Panday has also launched her own fitness program. She posted this Instagram video of herself doing some of her favorite exercises, and wrote in the caption, “I have SO many workouts for exercising at home with no equipment or at the gym, and they are going to make working out together so much fun!”

3. Luisa Collins

Luisa Collins enjoyed a drink in a jacuzzi this week, and she broke out her leopard print swimsuit to do so. When it comes to losing weight, Collins told the Daily Star that she likes to take supplements to prevent her from snacking too much. “When I take a Forza Raspberry Ketone in the morning and afternoon, my snacking habits are being curbed. They are like willpower in pill form. I feel more energized and taking the capsules has not really affected my lifestyle at all.”

4. Ashanti

Singer Ashanti wore a floral bikini and posed poolside on Instagram this week. In 2019, while promoting her film Stuck, she revealed to People that she made a lot of changes to her diet. “I cut out a lot of meat,” she said. “I think again, self-health and self-awareness are so important. All of that stuff is so important to maintaining your body, knowing what’s in your food, the GMO’s and the chemicals, and I’m super aware of this stuff.”

5. Brooke Burke

Brooke Burke advertised her workout program on Instagram this week, and she posted several stunning photos, showing off her toned body. The program Burke is advertising is designed to target your entire body, specifically your abs, legs, and butt. Burke posted a reel of herself doing her workout with some of her friends, captioning it, “Move, sweat, change.”

6. Dua Lipa

Singer Dua Lipa took a trip to Miami this week with her friends, model Sarah Lysander, and talent manager Bashir Arab-Sanchez. She posted several stunning poolside photos on her Instagram story. Lipa is also kicking off her “Future Nostalgia” tour, but she says that she still makes time to workout while she’s on the road and traveling. “When I have a tiny bit more time on my side I love mixing up lots of different training, finding different workouts in whatever city I’m in, whether it’s yoga, Pilates, boxing or spinning,” she told The Urban List. “Whatever it is, I try to change it up every day to keep things interesting. When you’re on a tour bus, every day and every place is different, so you never know what you’re going to find. That’s always one way to keep it interesting.”

7. Chantel Jeffries

Model and DJ Chantel Jeffries posted this bikini photo of herself and her friend, Cindy Kimberly, as they lounged on a pool chair. In a video for Pretty Little Thing, Jeffries revealed that she switches up her workouts to keep herself interested. “I like to hike, I like to skate, swimming, so that’s something to keep me motivated,” she said.

8. Sommer Ray

Fitness influencer Sommer Ray posted a gorgeous photo on Instagram of herself in a red bikini. Ray tells Life&Style magazine that she believes a healthy diet is the most important part of losing weight and staying in shape. "Diet is key. Diet plays a huge role in fitness. A lot of people go to the gym, work out really hard, then don't follow up with a good lifestyle. You can't expect a flower to grow without any water. Work out, but also take care of yourself.” Ray even has her own app where people can put in what they eat each day, and it will calculate the food’s nutritional value.

9. Teddi Mellencamp

After spending time in the Celebrity Big Brother house, Mellencamp revealed on Instagram that she had gained some weight and had slipped up on her diet. However, now that she’s home, Mellencamp says that she is making a healthy diet and lifestyle a main priority, but is not doing so to lose the weight she gained. “IT’S NOT ABOUT A NUMBER ON THE SCALE BUT HOW I FEEL WHEN I AM EATING CLEAN AND TAKING CARE OF MY BODY AND MIND - MY ANXIETY DECREASES,” she wrote. “TODAY I AM POSTING TO HOLD MYSELF ACCOUNTABLE TO MAKING MY OVERALL HEALTH A PRIORITY AGAIN. *even those of us who are “fitness influencers” go through different stages in our journeys.”

10. Alessandra Ambrosio

alessandra-ambrosio-1Alessandra Ambrosio/Instagram

Despite being a swimsuit model, Ambrosio tells Elle that she isn’t afraid to indulge once in a while. She says that she prioritizes a balanced diet rather than a restrictive one. “Obviously I try not to splurge on pasta, but if I'm back in Brazil where everything is pasta- or bread-based—and so yummy—I'll eat whatever I want, then go back to lots of salads and chicken or fish with veg as soon as I'm back in L.A."

11. Eugenie Bouchard

Tennis star Eugenie Bouchard enjoyed a trip to Miami this week, and one of the things she did while she was there was spend time on a boat. The main way Bouchard stays in shape is by playing tennis, however, she does do other exercises to stay healthy. Bouchard suffered a shoulder injury, and is doing exercises to help rehab it. She posted this reel on Instagram of herself doing a hydrotherapy session, and also posted this reel of herself doing arm workouts.

Ekin-Su Culculoglu found true love on Love Island: Davide Sanclimenti. And despite their ups and downs since the show, the duo have confirmed to be reunited. Meanwhile, Culculoglu is also seeking good-looking things in all kinds of places. “There’s beauty to be found in the unknown,” she captioned a new swimsuit photo. What’s her take on her time on the show? Here’s what she says.


1. Being on the Show was “Overwhelming” and Wonderful

London,,United,Kingdom,-,June,26,,2023:,Ekin-su,Culculoglu,AttendsShutterstock

“It's been absolutely overwhelming. I'm just so grateful that I even went on a show,” she told Lorraine. “It is such a successful show. I didn't think I'd find the love of my life and ended up finding the perfect man, not just the perfect body, but just didn't realize, hey, when you leave the villa that you have no idea what's going on. I had no idea. I had this love and this support and I just want to be thankful to everyone. Even my haters, I love them as well. Even if there is that, I'm just over the moon. It's been really busy. Just all these projects lined up…It's just all surreal. I don't even know what to say. That's how excited and happy I am.”

2. She Says Her Relationship Was Real

London,,United,Kingdom,-,March,06,,2023:,Ekin-su,Culculoglu,AttendsShutterstock

“It was all real though in there,” she said to Lorraine. “It was. And that's why I was shocked when we won because we forgot it was a show at one point. We were like, if this relationship isn't working, I felt like walking at one point and I felt like if it's not going to work, I don't want anyone else. And he felt the same. And then when we were towards the final, we were like, wait, this is a show. What? There's a final, what's going on? And we were so grateful to even be fourth, third, whatever it was. Everyone we thought were winners. So yeah, I still can't believe that.”

3. Take a Deep Breath and Relax

London,,United,Kingdom,-,December,05,,2022:,Ekin-su,Culculoglu,AttendsShutterstock

She felt comfortable on screen because the cameras, “they're so hidden. These cameras, you don't know where they are. You can't pretend or act on there. If you were to act, it would happen for two days and your mask would fall off. Then you're yourself. And in Casa Moore, obviously there was a moment, I dunno, I'm going to say this. Medics came. I had a mini panic attack, I was thinking, oh no, what's Davide doing in Cass Amor? Is he with someone else? And the medics were like, it's fine. Just relax.” She took deep breaths.

4. She Really Was in Shock

When she won, she really was “shocked. When I say my heart, my heart was beating. It was coming out of my chest. I genuinely thought everyone's winners. I didn't really expect anything. And then when our names were called, I was like, is this a dream,” she said on Loose Women.

5. ”In Relationships, You Make Mistakes”

“In relationships, you got to make mistakes,” she said on Loose Women. “You got to know it's right. You have to have these tests, and in real life, whether you have a normal job day-to-day walking on the street, you have to trust your partner and there's going to be people who are going to try it on you. And I feel like Casa Amor was that big test and the fact that whether Davide came back alone or not, that was a test for him.”

Sweet Tooth star Dania Ramirez loves any chance to get back to her roots in the Dominican Republic, especially during the holidays. Ramirez, who plays Aimee Eden on the show, shared a picture of herself relaxing in the sunshine, wearing a white bikini and straw hat. “Goddess,” an admiring fan commented. Ramirez works hard and plays hard—here’s how she does it, and how the star feels about being a Scorpio.

1. Biking Workouts

Los,Angeles,-,Oct,6:,Dania,Ramirez,At,The,StepShutterstock

Ramirez was in the best shape of her life while filming the 2012 movie Premium Rush. “It was hard to film the movie, period,” she says. “To be on bikes, remembering lines while riding all over New York City in the middle of traffic. You can’t tell a New Yorker, ‘Oh you can’t cross right now because we’re shooting a movie.’ They don’t care! I always felt like I was on the verge of crashing. I fell so many times; I can’t even begin to tell you. It was intense. But I was in the best shape I’ve ever been in my life. [Biking] works you out everywhere. It’s a whole-body workout. My abs were, like, out of control and my arms were super-diesel.”

2. Scorpio Passion

Beverly,Hills,,Ca,Usa,-,February,24,,2023:,Dania,RamirezShutterstock

Ramirez is most attracted to confidence and honesty. “Knowing how to be laid-back,” she says. “And enjoying the moment. I have a tattoo on my arm that says, ‘Live, Love, Life,’ and that’s how I live life. If you can somehow figure out a way to do that, you can get with me... I’m a Scorpio, I’m a primal kind of beast at heart. I like passion. Anybody who’s passionate about what you do, passionate about what you eat, passionate about working out. I feel like passionate people are gonna be passionate all across the board. That’s all I’m gonna say about that.”

3. Postpartum Diet

Ramirez had to get right back to filming Devious Maids after giving birth, so she worked hard to feel like herself again, quickly. “I stuck with mostly fruits and vegetables right after I gave birth,” she says. “I wanted to get accustomed to eating really healthfully and to having smaller portions throughout the day. Also, I like to feel healthy. I know that when I'm looking better and I'm eating right, I also feel better.You get so much out of the extra effort that you put into looking your best. The key to being confident is taking care of yourself and feeling like you're the best you can be.”

4. Beauty Routine

Electric,Brush,Cleanser,On,A,Wooden,Background.Shutterstock

Ramirez keeps her beauty routine simple. “I have less time, but certain things remain the same,” she says. “For instance, I still always take my makeup off, no matter how tired I am,” she says. “The babies are teething and waking up at night, so I use my MAC wipes as a shortcut. In the mornings I try to find time to use my Clarisonic brush. Being able to really clean my pores has changed my skin completely. I used to take the time to contour my skin perfectly, but now I just even it out quickly with foundation and then add a little bronzer on my cheeks.”

5. She’s a Free Spirit

Ramirez has always been a free spirit. “I’m pretty open, I say anything,” she says. “It gets me in trouble sometimes. I was that 13-year-old kid coming home with my 17-year-old boyfriend because I can’t hide! I try to dive into something completely new. That’s a lot like my personality. I’m fearless in that way. I can take a trip by myself to Guatemala with a pair of jeans and a few T-shirts and be completely in my element and be cool. Live Love Life!”

One of Hewitt’s biggest skincare secrets? Keeping it moisturized. Hewitt shared her favorite moisturizer and lip balm with Good Housekeeping.

On Instagram, Hewitt revealed the secret behind her impressive eyebrows. "I have been using this product and I'm noticing people bringing up my brows. I don't have anything on them today really, except this product, but it's the Rare Beauty lifting gel stuff. I mean, Selena, 'thank you' is all I can say. I love it, so I'm going to put it up so that you know what it is, but that's what it is. That is the brow lifting that people are talking about. That's all I got."

She Does a Variety of Workouts

For Hewitt, fitness is all about variety. “I try to switch it up a bit,” she told OK! Magazine. “I’ve found that if every week I do something different it tricks my muscles into not getting used to doing any one thing. I’ve been doing pilates, I’ve been doing yoga, I’ve done just plain old walking. I wear 10 pound weights on my ankles while I’m working just so that as I’m moving during the day I’m constantly building muscle. It’s not great for your back but I’m doing it anyway. I do a booty workout thing that I just did for Shape, which was really fun. And I do Zumba. I have DVDs and I dance around like a crazy person in my house.”

She Builds Confidence

Hewitt tells People that she wants to build her confidence up. “I think I’m a work in progress,” she admits. “[But] I feel it’s so much better than [it was] a year-and-a-half ago, and I feel like in another eight months, it’s going to be so much better than it is today.”

She Wants to be a Role Model

Love what you look like right now – and remember I said it 10 years from now because it’s the greatest gift I can give.’”

Over the past few years, Sydney Sweeney has become one of America’s sweethearts with celebrated roles in everything from hit HBO shows Euphoria and White Lotus to big-screen movies Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and Anyone But You. In addition to her impressive acting ability, the star is a total bombshell and has one of the fittest figures in Hollywood. Here are the top 5 habits that help her stay fit at 27.

Water Skiing

Sydney has been water skiing since she was a toddler. “The moment I could walk, my mom put me on what’s called a U-board to learn how to ski,” she told Women’s Health. “I remember that whenever we would go by the docks of my grandma’s or my cousin’s house, I’d wave. I felt so cool because I could take off one hand. That’s my earliest memory of skiing, but I’ve been doing it as long as I can remember. It’s my favorite.” How does it help her achieve her amazing body? “It’s a lot of upper body strength, it’s balance, it’s core, it’s legs—you get tired really fast,” she says. “I see such a change in my body after an entire summer of [skiing]. My arms are stronger, more sculpted. My abs are rock solid. But I never look at it as a workout because it is so much fun,” she said.

Morning Workouts

Sydney mixes up her exercise routine, but likes to get workouts over with early in the day. “I like to work out in the morning, so I’ll either go for a run or I’ll go to Solidcore,” says Sydney. The high-intensity, low-impact Pilates-inspired workout “makes me feel so strong, but also elongated,” Sydney said about her sweat sessions. “I feel so good afterwards.”

Self-Care

Sydney engages in self-care activities. “I love to paint, and I love to read,” she said. “Those are the activities that are just for me.” One Harvard study published in Social Science & Medicine found that people who read books regularly had a 20% lower risk of dying over the next 12 years than those who weren't readers or who read periodicals.

She Walks and Hikes

One of the ways she treats her anxiety is by spending time outdoors with her dog, Tank. She takes him on walks or hikes. Going for a daily walk can be a game changer, especially at a brisk speed. One study published in JAMA Internal Medicine found that walking at a brisk pace for about 30 minutes a day reduced the risk of heart disease, cancer, dementia, and death, compared with walking a similar number of steps but at a slower pace.

Mariana Morais is showing off her ab-fab figure – in a two-piece exercise set. In a new social media post, the fitness influencer flaunts her fantastic figure in a brown sports bra and leggings. “Self Progress & Development is not always linear. Sometimes we take steps back & that’s just a sign to course correct so we can leap forward. If 2024 wasn’t the year you expected, use it as an opportunity to learn, grow, & carry on. It’s you VS you - continue to try, focus on consistency > perfection & you will prevail 🤎 rooting for us all to strengthen our mind & bodies this year,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Strength Training

Mariana relies on old-school strength training to keep her body toned. “Training till failure instead of reps + taking my ab routine up a notch by incorporating weighted exercises,” she wrote about one of her workout tactics. “I can feel my muscles being challenged and am in tune with my movements.” According to the Mayo Clinic, strength and weight training help reduce body fat, preserve and increase lean muscle mass, and burn calories more efficiently. Strength training may also help you:

  • Develop strong bones
  • Manage your weight
  • Enhance your quality of life
  • Manage chronic conditions
  • Sharpen your thinking skills

Prioritizing Digestion and Getting Blood Work Done

Other healthy habits? “Prioritizing digestion,” she writes in the same post. “Making sure I get enough fiber & starting off every morning with a juice cleanse. This has helped me feel so much better everyday.” She also gets regular blood work done. “So important to check your levels and know what’s going on in your body routinely! Don’t skip the doc apts, always better to be preventative.”

Hiking

Mariana enjoys hiking. “Elevation therapy,” she captioned a post from one of her fitness adventures. According to the National Parks Service, the physical benefits of hiking include:

  • Building stronger muscles and bones
  • Improving your sense of balance
  • Improving your heart health
  • Decreasing the risk of some respiratory issues

Pilates

Mariana does reformer Pilates. “POV: Stepping into the prettiest torture chamber,” she wrote across a video of herself at the studio. Why is Pilates a good workout? According to the Mayo Clinic, the workout has many benefits, as it “strengthens the body's inner core while increasing its flexibility, resulting in improved overall health.” It can also promote longer, leaner muscles, injury prevention, stress and back pain relief, enhanced athletic performance, and heightened mind-body awareness.

Emsculpt NEO

Mariana recently got an aesthetic body treatment, Emsculpt NEO. “I’ve heard all the rage about the benefits to spot reducing fat & toning muscle so I had to give it a try to target those pesky lower abs. It was a 10/10 & a great addition to my workout routine,” she wrote.
