Josh Peck talked about his weight loss in an interview with Men’s Health. He said that once he lost weight, he had to change how he worked out. "Inevitably, when I got that big I wasn't really able to keep up.

Rebel Wilson notably lost a lot of weight, and attributes it to a change in her diet. "Before I was probably eating 3,000 calories most days, and because they were normally carbs, I would still be hungry," she told People. "So, I've really changed to eating a high-protein diet, which is challenging because I didn’t use to eat a lot of meat."

And I didn't get that note early on. But I'm a big believer that when you get it, you get it. It doesn't matter what it is, as long as you get it."

Read on to see all 6—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bathing Suit Photos!


1. HIIT Training

Baby2Baby 10-Year Gala Presented By Paul Mitchell - CocktailsStefanie Keenan/Getty Images

Molly Sims stays fit by doing HIIT Training. She stated on her blog, "I used to be that girl who wouldn't pick up the 2-lb weights at SoulCycle with the fear that I'd bulk. That mentality has shifted drastically." Marius Varzaru, a registered dietitian and personal trainer with Strenthgang, explains why it's so effective. "High intensity interval training (HIIT) is a cardio training technique in which phases of high-intensity exercise are alternated with low-intensity phases," he says. "Generally, a training session lasts less than 30 minutes, and each exercise is performed between 20-90 seconds. HIIT increases the thermogenic effect in your body, which increases the length of time your body burns calories during the day. So with just under 30 minutes of work per day, your body keeps burning more calories than usual for hours to come. Furthermore, many of the exercises that make up the foundation of a HIIT workout use all the major muscle groups in your body. This is why, in some cases, HIIT was associated with muscle mass gain, and an effective way to stay in shape."

"So in Molly Sims' case," he continues, "HIIT cardio is a time efficient way to burn fat and also work all the major muscle groups, to the extent where she keeps looking fit year round."Adds Latonya Fore MSN, APRN-CNP and obesity and weight management specialist: "HIIT or high intensity interval training involves repeated bouts of high intensity or 'all out' workout followed by recovery. You perform a high intensity exercise, like a running sprint for 60 seconds followed by a 60 second recovery. Then you repeat the cycle for 8 to 10 repetitions. HIIT not only improves your aerobic and anaerobic performance but it also improves your insulin sensitivity, which is key to weight loss. HIIT also increases post exercise metabolism, which means you continue to burn fat after the exercise is complete."

2. Apple Vinegar and Lemon Water

Spice Girl Victoria Beckham starts her day off with apple vinegar and lemon water. "First thing I do every morning is… 2 tsp of Apple Cider Vinegar," Beckham revealed on her Instagram story. "Followed by… fresh lemon squeezed into boiling water." Fore says, "The research is inconclusive regarding the benefits of apple cider vinegar for weight loss and maintenance. There are some studies that show apple cider vinegar may reduce total cholesterol and fasting glucose levels. The acidity of the apple cider vinegar and lemon can cause slight nausea after in the morning, which may help control the appetite and cravings later in the day. Starting the day with a protein and complex carbohydrate, like a greek yogurt and granola, would also control the appetite and cravings, without the bitter taste." Just don't skip the water part—lemon-flavored or otherwise, it's an essential key to staying your healthiest.

3. Lunges

Julianne Hough, 33, always looks amazing and one way she maintains that killer body is by doing lunges. The pro dancer shared an Instagram video of a workout that included lunges and Fore states, "Lunges or lunging is a form of resistance training. Resistance training also raises your resting metabolic rate so you continue to burn fat after the workout. You can perform this exercise using your body weight alone or with dumbbells. What makes lunges so great is because this exercise uses several muscle groups including the quadriceps (thighs), gluteus maximus (buttocks), hamstrings, and the core."

4. Intermittent Fasting

Brooke Burke, 50, has always been into health and fitness, and it shows! The TV host and fitness guru spoke to CelebWell in September, 2021 and revealed how she likes to do intermittent fasting. "I intermittently fast most every day," she told us. "I give myself a resting window of 16 hours, and I eat in an eight-hour window. It's 1:30p right now and I'm breaking my fast. I'm having a shake which is high in calories and in fat, which is totally okay. It has protein, matcha, MCT oil, dates, almond butter, one Tru Niagen stickpack, collagen powder, and cinnamon." Jordan Trinagel, a Licensed Occupational therapist and online health coach states, "Intermittent fasting has been used in ancient healing ayurvedic medicine for decades and has been shown to; let the digestive system rest, detoxify it, and restore and reset the body's systems and improve overall function. A common breakdown is to fast for 14-16 hours and then eat for a period of 8-10 hours, however it is recommended to consult a doctor and not sustain fasting for an extended period of time."

5. High Protein Diet

Rebel Wilson has lost 77 pounds and credits one of the ways she lost so much weight to a high protein diet. The Pitch Perfect actress told People, “Before I was probably eating 3,000 calories most days, and because they were normally carbs, I would still be hungry,” the star said. “So, I've really changed to eating a high-protein diet, which is challenging because I didn't used to eat a lot of meat. I eat fish, salmon, and chicken breast.” Trinagel says, "Studies show that a high protein diet can help with weight loss because it decreases the hormone ghrelin, which makes you hungry. Protein is broken down into building blocks called amino acids which can be categorized as essential and non-essential. They are called essential because you can only get them through your diet, non-essential meaning that your body can make them on its own. So, it is suggested that at least 30% of calories should come from protein to help you lose weight. Also, protein builds muscle and the more muscle you have the more effective your body is at shedding fat."

6. Eating Veggies

One way Elizabeth Hurley keeps her figure is by eating veggies. The 56-year-old told the U.K 's Sunday Times, "I think one of the most transformative things that I've done is making 50 percent of what I eat vegetable matter....If you have a slice of toast for breakfast, have an apple too. Counteract everything with vegetables." According to Trinagel, "fruits and vegetables contain antioxidants, nutrients and minerals and have been associated with lower oxidative stress and inflammation which can counteract insulin resistance. Insulin resistance or sensitivity make it difficult for your body to convert glucose into usable energy and negatively impacts blood sugar levels leaving you with stubborn fat."

1. Don’t Diet

Molly opts for smart lifestyle choices over drastic diets. “It's more about living healthy and how you're feeling," she explained to Women's Health. "I truly, truly don't like the word 'diet.' I don't even like the scale. I use a pair of jeans; the jeans don't lie I can tell you that."

2. Do HIIT Workouts

Molly claims that using weights and doing HIIT workouts was a major game-changer for her body. “I used to be that girl who wouldn’t pick up the 2-lb weights at SoulCycle with the fear that I’d bulk. That mentality has shifted drastically,” she revealed on her blog. In a video for Women’s Health she revealed that she works out first thing in the morning at 6:30 am, after meditating for a few minutes outside with a cup of coffee.

3. Do Load Up on Healthy Fats

“I would have never eaten an avocado 10 years ago if you paid me,” she revealed to Health about her favorite healthy fat. “Like, are you joking? But now, instead of binging [and] not eating all day, eat it and then you won't binge.”

4. Do This 20-Minute Workout

"On good days, workout. On bad days, workout harder,” she captioned an Instagram video, which highlighted her go-to short but intense workout. “Today’s circuit is what I do when I just have 20 minutes with @lauralizkeller [Sims' personal trainer] to get it in and still break a sweat!” Her quickie involves 45 seconds intervals of the following, with the entire set repeated two to three times: jumping jacks, modified pushups, tricep dips, squat jumps, leg raises, burpees, abd lateral bend and hold – all while using ankle and wrist weights the entire time.

Fast X star Michelle Rodriguez is known for her tough girl roles such as Leticia "Letty" Ortiz in the Fast franchise—and she works incredibly hard to look and feel the part. Rodriguez takes her training regimen seriously, and although she might look like a superhero, her physique is actually attainable for anyone who wants to build muscle and torch fat. Here’s the diet and training that helps Rodriguez stay so fit.

1. Lots Of Protein

Rodriguez’s diet is very protein focused, which helps to build muscle and burn fat. “I eat a lot of free-range chicken,” she says. “I eat a lot of salads. I gravitate towards broccoli, spinach, beets — beets are great. As far as sustenance goes, I feel I need that protein like fish or chicken to give me the boost."

2. Building Muscle

Rodriguez says she “chiseled” her body for her role in Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves. "Lots of push-ups, lots of sit ups," she says. "There's lots of lifting weights. During COVID you could get lots of frustration so I kind of got [producer] Jeremy [Latcham] to hook me up with a punching bag by my trailer. That helped a lot with the stressful days. I had a blast training. I gained about a good 10 pounds of muscle for it."

3. Marine Warfare Training

Rodriguez went to boot camp to train for her role in Battle: Los Angeles, to the admiration of fellow actor Jessica Alba. “I want to know: Who sculpted that body?” Alba once told Rodriguez. “‘She doesn’t have any cellulite, not an ounce of fat! What is going on?'” Rodriguez explained, “I was in boot camp before that. I had three weeks of intensive Marine warfare training.”

4. Running and Jump Rope

Rodriguez is known for playing tough characters—and sculpting her body into whatever the role requires. “It was intense — just imagine waking up every morning, running for 2 ½ miles, then after that (you) jump rope for a half hour, then after that you’re moving around in the ring,” she says of her preparation for Girlfight. “You get out, you hit the speed bag … and you spar, and then after that, you’re doing calisthenics. While you’re doing the sit-ups you’ve got this 20-pound sand ball thrown on your stomach.”

5. Weight Training

Rodriguez’s trainer Magnus Lygdbäck says he focused on weight lifting to encourage the actress to put on 20 pounds of muscle. Lygdbäck trained Rodriguez for an hour a day five days a week, and included cardio and core exercises. "The scale went up 20 pounds and she didn't gain fat," Lygdbäck said.

6. Healthy Diet

Rodriguez enjoys eggs or a protein smoothie for breakfast, then another protein smoothie, chicken salad, or more eggs three hours after that. Lunch usually consists of quality protein such as fish, chicken, or beef, and she makes sure to include lots of vegetables in her diet, complex carbs, and healthy fats from nuts or avocado. "[Avocados are] packed with good fats and fiber, which means they help you stay full longer," says Charlotte Roberts, a registered dietitian and certified diabetes educator with Cedars-Sinai. "They're also a great source of vitamins."

7. Fighting Workouts

Rodriguez has specific training for fight sequences, such as in Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves. “The biggest one was the Holga fight, which you see a little bit of in the trailer,” she says. “I worked with the team for a month, just developing and fine tuning the sequence. They did a wonderful job, training five people to do their sequences, and shooting at the same time.”

Bianca Bustamante is revving up her engine in 2025 – in her workout gear. In a new social media post, the racecar driver reveals she is taking “the next major step” in her physical journey as a race driver “and I’ve set the target high!” she says in a new Instagram post, filled with video clips of herself lifting heavy weights at the gym. “Never been more motivated in my life, it’s not physically easy for a girl in this sport, but I’m super excited to take on this new challenge and the next big step on my racing journey,” she added. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here are her top lifestyle tips.

Lifting Weights

Bianca spends hours at the gym where she focuses on strength training along with endurance, cardio, reaction time, and reflexes. “You know, to be a driver, it’s a complete package. It takes strength. It takes mental fortitude. It takes reflexes, smart thinking, and survival skills,” she told MEGA Active. “Sometimes it's for the body, sometimes it's for the mind. Nothing more peaceful than early sessions,” she captioned an Instagram post of one of her sessions.

Double Down On Training

In her recent post, Bianca reveals that she working extra hard at the gym. “I’ve been working hard over the years to build a solid foundation, but in 2025, I’ll be working with @j_w_90 and I’m doubling down on my training. Increasing to two workouts a day not just on lifts but aerobic endurance, as well as a better focus on nutrition and rest, in order to raise the bar to compete in the higher formulas,” she said.

Fueling Your Body With Protein

Bianca makes sure to eat enough protein in order to build more muscle and stay as lean as possible to meet the weight requirement. “It’s been a really cool journey seeing my body develop and transform into this whole different person I never knew I could become,” she said. In her new post she added that she is meal prepping. “I’m soooo all in that im even learning how to cook & meal prep better than ever before,” she writes.

Taking Cold Plunges

As for recovery, cold plunging is part of Bianca’s training regime. Limited research supports the benefits of cold plunges, which may include easing sore muscles, bringing body temperature down, increasing focus, improving sleep, and decreasing inflammation, per the Cleveland Clinic. However, a 2021 study found that cold water immersion therapy promotes post-sport recovery.

Working On Self-Esteem

Positive self-talk is also important. “Of course, I put a lot of pressure on myself, but in the end, I always tell myself that as long as I give my best and I learn from it, any mistake I make is valid,” Bianca explained. “I always try to repeat that to myself that I am valid. I’m here for a reason and there’s nothing I would rather do than be here.”

Brenda Perlaza is flaunting her fantastic figure in a tiny bikini. In a new social media post the influencer, who calls herself La Barbie Negra, looks flawless as she poses on the beach in a neon yellow swimsuit. “#viral,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. “Wow Wow,” one of her followers commented, while several others added fire emojis. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Jogging

Brenda enjoys jogging. According to the Mayo Clinic, running is great for cardiovascular health, muscle building, and weight loss. “For every mile run, the average person will burn approximately 100 calories,” they say.

Walking Her Dog

She also takes her dog on long walks. 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.

Dancing

You can also find Brenda dancing to burn calories. Dancing is an excellent workout for many reasons. It builds strength and promotes flexibility, helps you lose weight, and even promotes cardiovascular function. A 2016 study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine determined that people who engaged in moderate-intensity dancing were 46 percent less likely to develop or die from heart disease than non-dancers. In comparison, moderate-intensity walkers were just 25 percent less likely to suffer heart health issues

Swimming

Brenda spends a lot of time in her swimsuit so it isn’t surprising she loves to swim. According to the CDC, swimming is a good way to get regular aerobic physical activity. Just two and a half hours per week of aerobic physical activity, such as swimming, bicycling, or running, can decrease the risk of chronic illnesses. In addition to the many physical benefits, multiple studies support the mental health benefits of swimming.

Hydration

Finally, Brenda hydrates, especially after a long workout or sun exposure. According to the Mayo Clinic, hydration is essential for various reasons. Water helps eliminate waste through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements, keeps your temperature regular, lubricates and cushions joints, and helps protect sensitive tissues.

But that amount varies depending on your weight, speed and stroke.”

She's Vegan

Romani makes sure to work out on a regular basis. She shares a lot of Instagram stories in her highlights of herself at the gym. The Mayo Clinic says that regular exercise is extremely important. “Exercise can help prevent excess weight gain or help you keep off lost weight. When you take part in physical activity, you burn calories. The more intense the activity, the more calories you burn. Regular trips to the gym are great, but don't worry if you can't find a large chunk of time to exercise every day. Any amount of activity is better than none. To gain the benefits of exercise, just get more active throughout your day. For example, take the

She Supports Animals

Romani has her own charity, Help Miami Cats. She talked about how she started this in the caption of this Instagram post. “❤️ Guys!!!! I have always loved cats and had many growing up. When I moved to Miami Beach I met a great calico named Chacha and learnt that cats were brought to the city by Mayor Lummus … against rodents. Cats rely on volunteers for their food and water and there’s a huge amount of them. There’s a city program to Spay and neuter with the wonderful @sobecats ladies and the feeding is made official by a City Sanctioned badge, yet new cats keep getting dumped daily sadly and there’s a never ending amount of work, emergencies and so on. I was on a feeding rotation but during the pandemic I was left alone caring for so many as people left town or couldn’t afford feeding anymore …I decided to start my own non profit @helpmiamicats . We feed close to 200 and when Batman got paralyzed took him and other special needs cats under my care … @stevensachs69 with the cat room and the amazing people involved devote their lives to these special souls … My life has changed a lot too … way less spare time, way more sweat and tears and lost the person I had by my side who had sadly other priorities … yet gained so much love from these lovely creatures !!! If you can please get involved in any way … follow @helpmiamicats , share, volunteer, adopt … donate … Only together we can make their world a better place !!! And yes … just me feeding the kitties and talking to them … 🤷🏻♀️👀😆❤️🙌”
