Alyssa Milano is a very successful actress. She is known for her roles on the TV series, Who’s The Boss?, Charmed, and Mistresses. Milano also played Roxie Hart in Chicago on Broadway. She also hosted Project Runway All-Stars starting in the third season. Milano recently celebrated her birthday, and shared a selfie for the occasion on Instagram. She captioned it, “This is 52. No make up. No filters. Happiness. Sprinkle that sh*t everywhere. I love you all. Even the trolls. If you can hate a stranger—I can love a stranger. So…I love you. 🥰Edit: yes, my eyebrows are micro-bladed.” Here are seven ways Milano stays in shape.


She Limits Sugar

Milano revealed to People that she limits the amount of sugar in her diet. “When I cut out the sugar, which is a lot of what Atkins is about, my cravings went away. I try not to think of this as a diet because that sounds too restrictive. This is how I eat now. And I feel really good.” Milano also says that she has found healthier sweets to enjoy. “I go for the Atkins peanut butter cups. I just give myself a treat and know it’s not horrible for me.”

She Uses the Atkins Diet

Milano is open about being on the Atkins diet. She talked about this in an interview with The Los Angeles Times. “It was a slow, transitional process. I was gravitating in that direction but I wasn’t doing Atkins because I was concerned with, ‘Oh, I’d need to eat a lot of red meat for the protein.’ And I don’t eat red meat. But I found out that you can eat lean meats like fish and chicken and turkey, which is what I was already eating. And then it was an easy fit. I can do this forever. This is just super easy, I don’t have time to think about a meal plan. It’s all there. And I like the fact that I can be part of a community.”

She Loves Lettuce

Milano shared some of her favorite foods in an interview with Delish. She says that she loves incorporating letticus into her diet. "I find that it's just satisfying to wrap any kind of sandwich in a good piece of sturdy lettuce, like iceberg or butter lettuce. It gives it a nice crunch." The Cleveland Clinic states that lettuce is a great way to stay hydrated. “As much as 95% of lettuce’s weight comes from water. So, when you eat lettuce, you’re also quenching your thirst. And the high water content fills you up faster, helping curb hunger and prevent overeating.”

She Loves Taking Fitness Classes

Milano likes to take fitness classes to keep herself in shape. She shared her favorites in her Los Angeles Times interview. “I work out seven days a week,” Milano says. “I like classes. I do Zumba and a modern jazz class and Pilates. I’ve found out that you will do what makes you happy, and this makes me happy. I don’t enjoy working out with a coach.”

She Believes in Support

We used to live in a very village mentality, when women would come together and help each other through things. We’ve gotten so away from that … but I think it’s important to lift each other up. That’s also what I think maintains stability too. You are a lot less likely to make poor health choices. [Your community] would be disappointed if they saw you fail.

She Didn't Focus on Losing Pregnancy Weight

Health is Milano’s main priority. Especially after she had her second child. Milano talked about this in an interview with People. “I wanted to give my body time to adjust. But about six months after Elizabella was born, I started focusing on losing the weight and making sure I was healthy and at my best for my family.”

She Cooks

Milano likes to cook meals for her family. She shared her favorites in her People interview. “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. In fact, Atkins inspired me to learn how to cook for myself and my family using foods that are lower in carbs.”

Glee and Scream Queens star Lea Michele just turned 35 and is “grateful for so many incredible blessings” she wrote on Instagram, sharing a “birthday photo dump” of the wonderful time she had on the beach—with a pilsner, and a birthday cake. In a few shots, she looks amazing in a bikini. “Happy birthday beautiful,” commented Ashley Tisdale. “There she is in blue. Looking pretty,” said Kristin Chenoweth. How does she stay so fit and serene given all that she has going on? Read on to see 5 ways Lea Michele stays in shape and the photos that prove they work—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bikini Photos!


1. She Eats Clean

“Every single thing that I put into my body is to nourish and fuel my body,” she explains, according to Prevention. “I’ve always felt that food is fuel so what you’re eating is going to help your body. So I don’t eat junk food, I don’t eat processed food. I keep only fresh and healthy ingredients in my home so I can feel my absolute best.”

2. This is Her Definition of Wellness

“For me, it’s about being aligned in mind, body, and spirit, and striving to find that ultimate connection between all of those factors,” she told Health. Her “wellness journey began” during season 2 of Glee, when she was hopped up on eight coffees a day and eating craft services at night. “I started to learn that the better I was eating and the better I was taking care of myself, the better I was looking and performing and feeling. From there, it just started to snowball.”

3. She Does These Workouts

Around her 30th birthday, "I also found out that I have PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome), which is a very common condition. The side effects can be brutal—like weight gain and bad skin. I think because of my age, that diagnosis, and the fact that I wasn't working a job that kept me dancing every single day, I needed to integrate some sort of more formal workouts. I realized that I like workouts with a spiritual element—whether it's SoulCycle or hot yoga," she told Health.

4. She Knows When to Reset

“If I find there’s a moment where I’m not working my best and I can’t think clearly, I need to reset,” she told Health. “Sometimes that’s going away or going to my therapist....Other times, it’s calling my mom or sitting outside and lighting a fire with my husband, pouring a glass of red wine under the stars, and playing music. But more than waiting until I feel I need a break, self care for me is a daily practice—it’s a bath with magnesium salt, it’s doing a meditation, it’s going to yoga. I think it’s important to get something in every day to take care of yourself.”

5. Speaking of Big Days, She Had This Health Goal on Her Wedding Day

“If you’re always taking good care of yourself, and if you’re always eating right…then no matter what comes up, you don’t feel like you need to adjust or increase or anything,” she said, according to Prevention. “My goal is to keep on this great track that I feel like I’m already on, and then I know I’ll feel great on my wedding day.” Good advice for every day.

Sofía Vergara is wishing for an endless summer in her swimsuit. In one of her latest social media post the newly single Colombian actress shows off her incredible body and ageless beauty, lounging by the pool with her pals in a brightly hued bathing suit. “Que no se acabe el summer!” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps, which translates to “Don’t let the summer end.” How does the 51-year-old keep herself looking forever young? Here are some of her top beauty tips.


1. She Wears SPF

Vergara, who recently launched her Toty beauty line, stresses the importance of using SPF. Growing up in Colombia near the Caribbean sea, “The plan was always ‘go to the beach.’” But, she admits, “We did it the wrong way. We didn’t know about protecting ourselves — we [applied] coconut oil. It was like frying a chicken,” she told People. However, in the 1990s she learned about the importance of SPF. “It clicked in me,” she said.

2. She Spends 1.5 Hours Doing Her Makeup

Los,Angeles,-,Apr,04:,Sofia,Vergara,Arrives,For,TheShutterstock

Vergara admits she spends a lot of time getting gorgeous. “I wish I could tell you, ‘Oh I like it when I just wake up, and my hair is this.’ No! I like it when I’ve done an hour and a half of hair and makeup. More is more!” She added: “I’m always very put together. I’ve been doing my same makeup since I was 15. I’ve never really loved a lot of foundation or contouring, but I always have eyeliner on, and lashes and lipstick. Even in the morning I put it on. That’s my thing, and of course my sunscreen with the color.”

3. She Embraces Aging

Los,Angeles,-,Mar,2:,Sofia,Vergara,At,The,CarolShutterstock

Vergara also embraces aging. “I do see changes that I don’t like, but I try not to focus on them. I’m also now very grateful that I understood to use sun protection when I was younger, because I think that’s why I feel good now with the way I look. That’s what I tell my niece!”

4. She Eats Her Way to Great Skin

Sofia maintains that she relies on a beauty diet. "I eat a lot of vegetables, and I eat blueberries, and I drink green tea," she told Health. "I add a spoon of powdered collagen to chamomile tea at night—I don’t know what that does but I do it! And I try to drink lots of water." She called hydration "the most important part of any beauty routine," she added.

5. She Incorporates Oil

Oil is part of the star’s beauty routine. "After I wash at night, I’ve been using a calendula oil—it’s good for sensitive skin and has really been calming my skin. It’s really oily and nice, so I put it everywhere," Vergara told Health in 2018. She also revealed to Us in 2017 that she sleeps in saran wrap "and [applies] coconut oil everywhere.

Sutton Stracke is enjoying her European summer vacation in her swimsuit! The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star shows off her fantastic figure in a bathing suit while lounging around the Italian Riviera in one of her latest social media posts. “#nofilter Saturday. #italy," she captioned the Instagram snap. How does the reality star stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Sutton Stracke stays 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. She Drinks Spirits in the AM

Sutton does not restrict herself when it comes to drinking. “I have a drinking regimen that I do," she told Behind the Velvet Rope. "At around 10 [a.m.], I think that's OK for your first cocktail of the day. And then ... I try to ... it's just consistency through the day. Then I'm nicer." She added: "You know what they say: When you monitor what time you're allowed to drink, that means you have a drinking problem. Why can't you have a drink at 10? What makes 5 o'clock so special? Give 10 a.m. the love, too! ... Just have it. Don't deny yourself right now, no." Just remember: "Drinking alcohol in moderation generally is not a cause for concern. According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, drinking is considered to be in the moderate or low-risk range for women at no more than three drinks in any one day and no more than seven drinks per week. For men, it is no more than four drinks a day and no more than 14 drinks per week," says the Mayo Clinic.

2. She Gets Botox

Sutton told Page Six Style castmate Kyle Richards “dragged” her to get Botox for the first time a few years ago. “I had never gotten Botox before. I was 47 and I had never done it!” she said. “Kyle dragged me to go get Botox with Nurse Jamie.”

3. She Uses a Beauty Roller

​​While visiting the celebrity dermatologist with Richards, she discovered a beauty tool that she uses regularly. “And that’s actually how I ended up getting my roller,” she said about the Nurse Jamie Instant UpLift Massaging Beauty Roller she uses to quell anxiety. The device has a rotating head covered with 24 tourmaline stones to help improve skin tone and texture.

4. She Believes True Beauty Comes From Within

She tries not to obsess over aging and instead, inner beauty. “We can get so fixated on that. I mean, we all want to look good and we all want to stay young,” Sutton told Page Six Style. “But really, I think our youthfulness comes from our heart.” She tries to teach her daughter these types of lessons. “I have a daughter and so I want to make sure that she learns from me. The biggest lesson is that looks are secondary. Who you are as a person is first and how you live your life, being a leader and leading by example is what’s most important,” she continued. “Because you can look amazing, but it doesn’t matter if you’re a terrible person.”

5. She Golfs

While Sutton doesn’t discuss her exercise routine, she does like a certain outdoor sport: Golf. “Finally! A day off. Golf lesson Oceanside. Happy #humpday,” she captioned this photo from an oceanfront course.

Jamie Lee Curtis is one of the most successful actresses of all time. Her credits range from Freaky Friday, to Scream Queens, to Everything Everywhere All At Once. Curtis is also set to star in another film in the Halloween film series. She just shared a stunning old photo on her Instagram. In it, she posed in a zebra print one piece swimsuit. She captioned the post, “This just popped up.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Jamie Lee Curtis stays 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. She’s Sober

Curtis is open about her past struggles with addiction, and how she got sober. "I'm breaking the cycle that has basically destroyed the lives of generations in my family," she told People. "Getting sober remains my single greatest accomplishment … bigger than my husband, bigger than both of my children, and bigger than any work, success, failure. Anything."

2. She Doesn’t Get Plastic Surgery

Curtis doesn’t believe in plastic surgery, and she has a good reason. "I tried plastic surgery and it didn't work," she told Fast Company. "It got me addicted to Vicodin. I'm 22 years sober now. The current trend of fillers and procedures, and this obsession with filtering, and the things that we do to adjust our appearance on Zoom are wiping out generations of beauty. Once you mess with your face, you can't get it back."

3. She Buys Affordable Skincare Products

Curtis opened up about her favorite skincare products to Today. She says that she opts for cheaper products, as she thinks they are more effective. “I spent $800 on a big jar of a cream. It didn’t do anything! It doesn’t do anything! The truth of the matter is, it doesn’t do anything for you. It’s a scam to make money."

4. She Isn’t Worried About Aging

When it comes to aging, Curtis isn’t worried about it. In an interview with Prevention, she encouraged others to have the same mindset. "This word 'anti-aging' has to be struck. I am pro-aging. I want to age with intelligence and grace and dignity and verve and energy."

5. She’s Less Image Conscious

In her role in Everything, Everywhere, All At Once, Curtis decided to take a different approach. She opened up about her process, and how it helped her in this Instagram post. “In the world, there is an industry — a billion-dollar, trillion-dollar industry — about hiding things,” she wrote. “Concealers. Body-shapers. Fillers. Procedures. Clothing. Hair accessories. Hair products. Everything to conceal the reality of who we are. And my instruction to everybody was: I want there to be no concealing of anything. I've been sucking my stomach in since I was 11, when you start being conscious of boys and bodies, and the jeans are super tight. I very specifically decided to relinquish and release every muscle I had that I used to clench to hide the reality. That was my goal. I have never felt more free creatively and physically.”

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.

Needs Intro

She’s Consistent

Last year, Culpo was preparing for her wedding. She told E! News that she made sure to be consistent with her wellness in order to prepare. “Really trying to dial in [on] what I eat, how I workout, the workouts that I do. Trying to get them in consistently because you only get married once and I want to feel my best. But this past season it was just hard being so far away from my normal routine and where I typically live."

She Keeps Her Skin Healthy While Traveling

Culpo has amazing skin, and she makes sure to take care of it, even while traveling. “I don't wear any makeup when traveling," she says to Travel + Leisure. "That's one rule because I do feel like you will have a higher chance of breaking out if you are wearing a full face of makeup. A few things I always have with me is some sort of a spray. I love Dr. Barbara Sturm or Caudalie or La Mer. I also absolutely love traveling with a makeup wipe, the Neutrogena wipes are great. Something to just take off the sweat you build up.”

She Keeps Her Skincare Simple

Culpo shared her skincare routines with Byrdie. She says that she keeps her morning and night routine simple. “I am always trying out new products, so what I gravitate toward is often changing. At night, I usually use an oil and a serum. Right now, I love the Clarins Double Serum. In the morning, I use a Vitamin C serum and an SPF, and, typically, I just rinse my skin with warm water instead of using a cleanser. It is something I swear by—it allows for the oils on my skin from sleeping to absorb naturally.”

She Uses Products With Vitamins

Culpo shared some of her favorite skincare products with Byrdie. She says that she uses ones that have vitamins in them. “I have noticed a huge difference in my skin with vitamin C and E. I love the Good Janes H2OMyGod Moisturizer—it's sort of an all-in-one moisturizer that has vitamin C and collagen peptides. As for vitamin E, I actually just purchase the oil from the drugstore. It is super cheap and great to put on any red marks I may get from an occasional breakout. The healing process is so much quicker when I am using Vitamin E oil.”

She Packs Healthy Snacks

Culpo makes sure to eat healthy. She shared some of the snacks she packs with her with Travel + Leisure. "I love the Kind bars. I love any sort of nuts, to be honest with you. They are a go-to snack for me. I would say Peroni Nastro Azzurro 0.0% and some almonds would be perfect! Also, electrolytes to stay hydrated or some sort of collagen beauty powder or something."

Abigail swears that abiding by simple rules helps her stay in shape. “I can’t diet. That just doesn’t work for me,” she told New Beauty. “I started to be healthier by first cutting out soda. Then, I stopped eating after 7 p.m. Finally, I started really watching my portions so I was eating fewer calories every day. And water—lots and lots of water.”

Abigail explains being accountable for what she eats is crucial. While it’s not “rocket science,” she does use the MyFitnessPal app to track her eating. “I’m the type of person who likes to eat what I want. The app can help anyone do that—you can still eat great food, you just eat less of it,” she added New Beauty.

Pilates

Abigail is a fan of Pilates. “Group workout classes are so big right now, but I always get nervous around other people in settings like that. I have to go at my own pace without a bunch of distractions so, for me, Pilates with a one-on-one instructor works best. It’s not cheap, but then you also aren’t tempted to skip,” she said She added to Men’s Fitness via Muscle & Fitness that the workout “keeps you long and lean” — and the Mayo Clinic agrees. They say 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, relief from stress and back pain, enhanced athletic performance, and heightened mind-body awareness.

“I love green juices and smoothies. Sometimes I’ll put some protein powder in the morning—I feel like the mix of vegetables, and vitamins and stuff that’s in them, really gives me a lot of energy in the morning. I love BBQ food—my ultimate cheat is a pulled pork sandwich, sweet potato fries, and macaroni and cheese from this great place in LA,” she told Men’s Fitness.

Strength Training

Ratchford also lifts weights. “Initially, I made the mistake that a lot of girls do and I was only doing cardio. I just really didn’t see too much change in my body. I’ve been listening to my girlfriends who are in great shape and they say you have to do weight training, you have to go in and do squats. That’s my new thing—I’ve been doing some resistance training, circuit training,” she told Men’s Fitness. The Mayo Clinic explains that 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
