Camila Mendes in Bikini Is “Always and Forever”

Camila Mendes is showing off her hot body in a bikini. In a new social media post, the Riverdale star flaunts her amazing figure in a tiny bathing suit while slurping down condiments. “always and forever a honey mustard girl,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps and videos. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Camila says that “creating a routine in the morning” is key for her mental health. “My current routine is very soothing in the morning, and it gets me excited to start my day. Once I’ve done that routine, I feel like I can do anything. Usually, I wake up, I make my coffee, I write in my five-minute journal,” she tells SELF.

Camila makes sure to move. “I strive to be super consistent — as consistent as I can be. Whenever I have a day off, I will make a point to work out in the morning,” she told Shape. “I definitely move my body every day,” she added Health. “I go through phases when it comes to what I like to do—I’ve taken lots of different classes and all that,” she said. She works with a trainer and “does a lot of circuit training, she added to Shape.

Camila is all about meditating. “I’ve been trying to meditate whenever I feel like I need it,” she told SELF. Whenever I feel like my heart rate’s kind of high, and I’m a little anxious and on edge and unable to focus, I try to set out 10 minutes to meditate in that moment and reset and ground myself again. I use an app, Balance. I think that’s really what it is—just learning the tools that you need and moments when you need them.”

Camila just says no to diets. “My relationship with food was very weird for a while—I had an eating disorder,” she told Health. “I got through it by seeing [my] therapist and working with a nutritionist who was very adamant about me overcoming my fear of carbs. I used to not eat carbs—but that would just lead me to binge on them after avoiding them for a while. I tried all the diets—I was always on a diet. But I eventually learned they weren’t helping me at all.”

Camila uses food to fuel and nourish her body. “As soon as I started listening to my body and eating what my body needed—which sometimes is eating the things I used to think were bad, like sugar and bread—I noticed a big change,” she dished to Health. “The crazy lesson was that your body tells you what it wants and needs; you just have to learn how to listen to it. It takes a while to learn that—it’s hard. And what one woman needs isn’t going to be the same as what another woman needs. We’re all different.”
