The star also spilled some of her wellness secrets in the caption of this Instagram post. When it comes to her diet, she makes sure to be mindful of her portion sizes.
"One question I get asked all the time is, how do you stay in shape and what do you eat? So here goes. My mantra is: Don't eat too much, too fast, too often or too late. Or, put another way, eat smaller meals, chew properly, ban snacking, and eat dinner earlier. This works for me," Elizabeth wrote in the caption.

3. She Does At-Home Workouts
Elizabeth does a lot of at-home workouts to keep herself in top shape.
"I might do some stomach exercises or some bottom or arm exercises, but because I trained for a dancer when I was young, I sort of know all the exercises," she explained to The Cut. "I find it very hard for my schedule to regularly go anywhere else. It works very well for me."
4. She Eats Local Food
Natural locally grown food is something important to the star.
"When I'm at home in the country, I always try and eat food that's grown locally," she revealed in her interview with The Cut. "That goes for meats and vegetables. Not only do I like things grown in England, I like things grown in Hertfordshire, which is the part of England that I live in. If I can grow it myself, I'm even happier. All through summer we eat fruit and vegetables from my own garden. I used to have a small organic farm, and all the meat my son ate was from the farm. Obviously that's not possible for most people, but supporting local farmers wherever you live is a good thing."
