Alyssa Milano is flashing her flat abs – in a crop top. In a new social media post the star expresses her gratitude to fans who visited her at Mega Con Orlando. “I am basking in the love I felt from everyone today,” she wrote. “Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! You make all the crap worth it.” Her followers went wild. “As us gays say….. WERRRRRK QUEEN!!!” wrote one. “Woah. from year to year, you remain more and more beautiful alyssa, don't change you are so incredible,” added another. How does the actress approach health and wellness? Celebwell has the details on all of her lifestyle tips.


slidetitle num="1"]Go On a Low Carb Diet

Alyssa relied on a low-carb diet to lose her baby weight in 2014 before switching to Atkins. “This journey with Atkins is about me feeling better overall, having more energy and reaching my happy weight,” Alyssa, a spokesperson for the brand, told People. “I enjoy all my favorite foods. I love chicken and fish; I eat lots of vegetables, healthy fats, low sugar fruits, cheese, and nuts. Some of my favorite things include parmesan-crusted chicken with cheesy cauliflower bake and tacos night with fresh guacamole. I have all the fixings and just use lettuce cups in place of tortillas,” she says. “In fact, Atkins inspired me to learn how to cook for myself and my family using foods that are lower in carbs.”

2. Try Group Fitness

Alyssa is a big fan of group fitness. “I don’t like working with a one-on-one coach. I feel like it’s too much pressure,” she told E! News. “I love spinning,” Alyssa added to The Cut during an event at Peloton. “I also love Pilates and yoga. Occasionally I’ll take a dance class or a Zumba class. But I really like to spin because I feel like it’s a full-body workout: 45 minutes, you’re in and you’re out. I don’t really have time for much more than that. I used to do a lot of yoga, but I just don’t have time for a 90-minute class anymore.”

3. Hydrate

Alyssa makes sure to drink six glasses of water with lemon every single day, she told People. According to the Mayo Clinic, hydration is important for a variety of reasons. Water helps get rid of waste through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements, keeps your temperature normal, lubricates and cushions joints, and helps protect sensitive tissues.

4. Drink Protein Shakes

Alyssa prioritizes getting enough protein. She starts her day with a cup of coffee with almond milk and a protein shake – two cups of almond milk, an ounce of whey protein powder, one-half small banana and one-quarter tsp. cinnamon. Protein is important when it comes to weight loss. According to clinical trials, consuming more protein than the recommended dietary allowance not only reduces body weight (BW), but also enhances body composition by decreasing fat mass while preserving fat-free mass (FFM) in both low-calorie and standard-calorie diets.

5. Prioritize Lifestyle Over Diet

Healthy living is not a trend for Alyssa – it’s a lifestyle. “I don’t use the word diet because if I use the word diet, it’s not happening,” she told E! News.

6. Don’t Eat Alone

“I actually don’t like to eat alone,” Milano told The Cut. “I think that has something to do with the fact that I’m Italian, and food is always about family and celebration and having meals. So if I’m alone, I’m much more likely to pick up a shake or a bar than I am to actually sit and have a meal by myself.”

Vicky Pattison in Bathing Suit Says "You Are Deserving of Love"

Vicky Pattison has a message of self-love for her 5 million followers in her swimsuit. The Geordie Shore alum shows off her figure – “flaws” and all – in one of her latest social media posts. In it, she models a swimsuit and embraces her real body. “Social media can often be misleading... After nothing more than a quick scroll through Instagram it can convince you that everyone has the perfect body, no one ever takes a bad picture, everyone's skin is perfectly smooth and they all have their shit together…” she wrote in the caption of the Instagram post. “I'd like to think I show both sides of the coin on my Instagram... but after a little flick through this morning I realised there were probably far too many carefully curated glam shots and fancy ads- so here is some of my reality- a reality that I am not only not ashamed of, but f**king proud of. I am 35, I have wrinkles, cellulite, dimpled skin, tummy rolls, absolutely NO lips compared to everyone else on here it seems 😂🤦🏻‍♀️ and double chins... I have good angles and bad, I have good days and bad... and none of this makes me any less of a good person or less deserving of self love,” she continued. “Don't get too hung up on the 'perfect' side of social media, don't let those images effect how you see yourself and your self worth- because behind every single one of those glam shots were a million more like this... That society has tried to tell us are in some way less desirable but if you ask me, there's far more beauty to be found in the real, in the raw... So be kind to yourself today and everyday for that matter. You are special, beautiful and deserving of love regardless of what clothes size you wear, whether your kitchen is tidy or whether your skin is perfectly smooth... ♥️ Don't let Instagram and all of its bullshit convince you otherwise.. Don't let it change you- you're YOU... and that is your super power.” How does the star maintain her fit physique?
