Gail Simmons is a recurring judge on Top Chef. She talked about her approach to eating in an interview with People. “I don’t watch my calories or stick to any diet at every meal. I just generally try to eat a variety of foods throughout every day — heavy on veggies and fruit, whole grains and protein, especially when I’m not traveling or eating for work and can cook at home.”

Head judge and restaurateur, Tom Colicchio, broke down his morning routine with TODAY. “I drink black coffee. I drink so much coffee that over the years, I decided that if I get rid of the sugar and the milk, there’s just fewer calories, because I’ll drink about six cups before I leave the house.”

In addition to being a judge, Emeril Lagasse is a host and renowned chef. He talked about his process of developing his show to TastingTable.com. “A lot of the beginning days of ‘Emeril Live,’ it got a lot of criticism because maybe I was having too much fun, but that's what I was bringing out. And then, there was never a script. It was basically a live audience, the band, which was a music connection with me. I just went about it that way, trying to educate people and take the intimidation factor out of it so that people get excited about cooking instead of being intimidated about cooking.”

After two appearances on Top Chef, Carla Hall has started hosting The Chew and judging Holiday Baking Championship. She told Morning Honey that she has started working out on a consistent basis. "I have only missed one week since January working out with my accountability partner," she says. "I work out early in the morning, no matter what the time zone, because I know that we are not going to be filming at that time. If I start filming at seven, I will work out at six. I have committed to doing that because I can then eat all of this other stuff and it’s about balance."

Two time contestant, Antonia Lofaso, has become one of TV’s most in-demand chefs. She shared to HarryandDavid.com that exercise is important to her. “In order for me to do what I do — run three restaurants, fly all over for cooking appearances, do television — I need to be in the best fighting shape. We look at fighters and the way that they prepare for their match. It’s the same exact thing. Too many times, chefs are pigeonholed into this unhealthy lifestyle. You’ve seen us being crazy drinkers and partying and eating large burgers. I just ate an entire donut — I don’t stop eating. You can’t work 80 hours a week in a restaurant and not drink water and not get sleep and not exercise and not eat healthy. My love of exercise and nutrition really just comes through years of me beating my body up in my work.”

7. Brooke Williamson

Brooke Williamson is both the runner-up of season 10 and the winner of season 14. She shared some of her wellness secrets in an interview with Vitamix.com. Williamson says that hard work is important to her as opposed to public opinion. "I put myself out there 100 percent, and if you enjoy what I do or who I am, then great. If not, perhaps my food isn't the food you should be eating, or I'm not the friend for you.”

8. Nina Compton

Nina Compton was the fan-favorite and runner-up of season 11 of Top Chef. In an interview with The Talks, Compton talked about the importance of having a work-life balance. “I've been trying for years to find a happy balance between work and life without rushing around. In this industry, we’ve been conditioned to think you have to work 20 hours a day, six days a week. I think that’s a terrible thing, it’s an old school mentality. It’s been ingrained in upcoming chefs, but it’s like… No! You don’t need to be here for that just to be the hero, it’s not a sign of leadership.”

9. Stephanie Izard

Season 4 winner, Stephanie Izard shared some of her wellness secrets with The Purist Online. “Recently, I was so busy, I got so dehydrated. I started doing hydration therapy one to two times a week. Now I’m obsessed with it. It really keeps your body going.”

10. Shirley Chung

Shirley Chung is a two-time Top Chef contestant, and has also become an advocate against racism. After dealing with racism in her area, Chung talked to other chefs about how to support other Asian chefs. “From those conversations, I realized many AAPI owners and chefs didn’t have the access to many things ‘mainstream’ restaurants and chefs are used to, from government grants and updated policies to social media platforms to promote their business,” she said in an interview.

11. Kristen Kish

Kristen Kish is both the winner of season 10 and the new host of Top Chef. She shared her secrets to avoiding burnout to Food & Wine. "Before the pandemic started, I put so much value on success equals how busy I am, and how on the go I am, how many flights I was getting onto. That, to me, felt like I was doing my job, and I would oftentimes burn out a lot sooner. I am much clearer in understanding that [being] busy does not equal success anymore."

12. Tiffany Derry

Two-time Top Chef contestant Tiffany Derry, talked about her career in an interview with The Chef’s Connection. “Looking back, I realize the importance of all the different experiences I had growing up. The acting, sports and cooking—I use skills from all of those areas now. Growing up in a family that loves cooking gave me a passion for food. Acting taught me to be myself in front of the camera. My days at IHOP taught me the importance of hard work and determination. At the time, I didn’t understand why I was always changing career paths, but it all makes sense now. It’s crazy, but sometimes life comes together in a way you might not have expected!”

13. Bryan Voltaggio

Bryan Voltaggio is one of Top Chef’s most well-known alumni. He also made the finale on three separate seasons. He talked about appearing on season 17 and the show with Parade. “I've done it three times! I've been to three finales. Like a lot of the winners, I don't feel like I need to go back again. Nobody's ever made it to three final cooks before. I've shown everything I needed to show. It's not always about a title. I would have loved to win so that I could tell my brother. [Laughs.] But I love the process of competing, all the challenges. I don't think there's anything more I need to do. There are so many other things I would love to focus on. And I appreciate every single moment. I will never forget any of the experiences I've had on Top Chef, and I'm very fortunate to do what I've done.”

14. Karen Akunowicz

Two time Top Chef contestant, Karen Akunowicz, tells FoodRepublic that she likes to weightlift to stay in shape. “I get to the gym four to five times a week before work,” she says. “I have a trainer, Genevieve Arndt, who I work with three times a week. I can't say enough how lifting heavy weights has changed my life. I had a back injury that caused me pain for two years. Standing and even just walking was painful. Through a year of consistent work, my pain is gone and my health has greatly improved. Weightlifting has also made an amazing change in my confidence and mood. When you lift thousands of pounds before your day starts, you feel like there is nothing you can't accomplish.”

15. Kwame Onwuachi

Kwame Onwuachi talked about the experiences he’s had in his career with Food & Wine. “I think COVID helped me realize that I need to be in tune with the outdoors more than I have been. It's okay if I can't hang out with a bunch of people, but we at least need to be able to go outside. And then my brand was starting to expand in different ways. I started a media company. I started doing more brand partnerships. I started to create my own content, I was creating my own events, and I just wanted a change of scenery. I think it's always great to shift gears in different parts of your life. I just needed to gain more inspiration and to have a space to spread my wings a little bit. I didn't want to open a restaurant where I couldn't hug my guests.”

Brian Malarkey is one of Top Chef’s most successful alumni. He’s opened several restaurants, and appeared on The Taste. Malarkey shared his advice for aspiring chefs with Medium. “You need to know the job and know what the position is. A chef is not just a great cook. A chef is a great operator, a businessperson, definitely a mentor, and an inspirational leader. It’s a very broad job title. It doesn’t matter if you are the best cook in the kitchen. You must be very well rounded. Don’t rush into it. Learn as much as you can. Otherwise you won’t have the tools to succeed.”

18. Chris Cosentino

Chris Cosentino was a winner of Top Chef Masters, and is also a cyclist. He talked about how he got into cycling with My Fitness Pal. “Cycling and food collided when I started cooking. I was cooking first and then I was riding. I blew out my knee in culinary school and couldn’t move my knee laterally … I started riding so I could walk again. The fishing captain I was working with was also my riding partner. He really pushed me to get healthy. We would work on the boat, do a monster mountain bike ride, and then we’d go back to the house and cook. It was a routine that just made sense for us.”

19. Joe Flamm

Joe Flamm won season 15 of Top Chef, and talked about what it was like in an interview with Robb Report. “My mentor Tony Mantuano gave me advice before I left that I just needed to make a decision on what I wanted to cook and don’t change it midstream. You may not have the perfect idea, but it’s better to make that to the best of your abilities then to second guess it and try to change things along the way.”

20. Adrienne Cheatham

Adrienne Cheatham was the runner-up of season 15. She talked about what she took from the experience in an interview with Tasting Table. "It really helps you see yourself in a new way," she said. "It helped me get out of my comfort zone. So it really pushed me forward in a way that I wouldn't have gotten, if I hadn't done it."

Then, I started using this balm from True Botanicals. The makeup melts right off. It's soft and it's kind of oily a little bit. It's heaven. It works so well."

In an interview with HollywoodLife, she revealed that she’s made changes to her wellness routine. “We’ve really been trying to do better and eat better and eliminate the junk,” she said. “I’m not doing anything crazy like doing the elliptical or riding the bike or running. I started being a pescatarian and he was plant-based, so I started there. It did help me and I felt different. I lost a couple of pounds. I’m not a big eater. But what I started to do, was just have small portions. I feel like I eat about four times a day – four, sometimes five – just nibbling on stuff, and I feel really satisfied.”

And then I’ve been using Shiseido's Wrinkle Resist eye cream ($60) and Tarte's Maracuja Eye Treatment ($38) for my eyes.”

If you meet her in the bathroom in an airport, she’s going to talk the same exact way as when you see her on TV.’ And I think that that comes through, and I think that is something that has been so successful with the show.”

It all comes down to motivation and perseverance… How bad do you want to feel good?? Once I realized how BADLY I wanted to feel good and be healthy- for myself, my wife, my kids, and my longevity- was the second I put my head down and got to work!! What about you?? Who’s with me??!”

Love your life.”

Karina Smirnoff tells People that being healthy means having a good mindset. “I love challenging myself, pushing myself, and I believe it’s important to celebrate your victories,” she says. “I remember one of my coaches saying to not only concentrate on what your ultimate goal is, but also remember to celebrate small victories as they will give you more motivation to move forward! Being complacent is the worst thing one can do for themselves.”

4. Mark Ballas

In a 2014 interview with SELF, Mark Ballas talked about how he quit smoking. “Admitting that you need to stop is the first step,” he said. “And, persistence and patience are everything, it’s not going to happen over night. It’s okay to get external help because the goal is to quit, so it doesn’t matter how you get there, you just got to get there. It’s not the Olympics, it’s quitting something that will help you live a healthier life, so if that requires external help, there’s no shame in that.”

5. Peta Murgatroyd

Peta Murgatroyd does a lot of tours with her husband, Maksim Chmerkovskiy. She shared how she stays in shape for them in an interview with People. “When you’re in the rehearsal period, you tend to lose a lot of weight because you’re throwing yourself into several different styles of dance that you aren’t used to and you’re rehearsing 12 hours a day,” she says. “Towards the middle of the tour, I stopped losing weight and I kind of plateaued which is a good thing because you don’t want to get too skin and bones out there. I figured out that for my body, I need to keep maintaining my strength and endurance. I have to trick my body into doing different types of cardio now so my muscles never get bored because now they’re so used to doing the show.”

6. Sharna Burgess

Sharna Burgess shared her biggest workout tip in an interview with People. “The best form of exercise is one that you enjoy,” she says. “Find a local dance studio, take a friend to hot yoga – make it a social thing if you struggle to find the motivation. Once there are changes in your body and your energy levels, that will be all the motivation you need.”

7. Lindsay Arnold

Lindsay Arnold broke down her diet secrets with Women Fitness. “I personally do not believe in dieting. I believe that it is very important to eat healthy food and to eat in moderation. What I have found works for me is to find healthy snacks that taste good and I eat them in between my meals. When it comes to meals, I eat what sounds tasty to me but in a reasonable portion. Another thing that has really helped me is to try to not eat any carbs after 8 pm. This doesn’t mean I starve myself if I’m hungry at night (which happens a lot) it just means I will try to find something that is a little healthier.”

8. Witney Carson

Witney Carson shared her secrets to eating a balanced diet in this post on her website. “One of the downsides to summer is that I sometimes get so busy that I start to slack on my workout routine. Between that and my addiction to Salt & Straw ice cream, I am focusing the rest of my summer on maintaining healthier eating choices. However, I always have a sweet tooth and can’t completely cut out the sweet treats. Finding a balance between eating healthy and treating yourself every once in a while is so important. Finding healthy dessert alternatives is so important to me. Check out some of my favorite healthier sweet treats. These are perfect for when you’re craving something a little more satisfying, but still, want to keep the calories and sugar to a low.”

9. Kym Herjavec

In addition to being a DWTS pro, Kym Herjavec is also a fitness maven. She even has her own book and fitness studio. Herjavec shared some of her tips with Haute Living. “If you don’t have an hour everyday to workout, try initially setting aside at least 30 minutes. The bottom line is to make exercising a priority so it becomes part of your lifestyle. I recommend to do a combination of cardio and sculpting with light weights and multiple reps. The key is to make exercise part of your lifestyle. You will be amazed at how much energy you have have and you will start to see the results quickly.”

10. Jenna Johnson

Dance is an amazing workout, and Jenna Johnson wants to encourage others to try it. She opened up about the benefits of dance in an interview with People. “I think people are so nervous to try an actual dance class because maybe they don’t have the right technique or they’re at a certain level, but I think anyone should dance and should try it. You’re challenging your mind as well as your body and it’s engaging a lot of different muscles that you wouldn’t necessarily use on the treadmill or the elliptical.”

11. Emma Slater

Emma Slater opened up about how she and the other DWTS pros prevent injuries on the road to Richmond Family Magazine. “It’s hard to maintain an injury-free body when you are doing that amount of dancing,” Slater says. “We travel with a physical therapist, Sandra. She warms us up, provides us with ice packs and stretches us out. She works on any injuries or stress on our bodies.”

12. Derek Hough

Derek Hough shared some of his wellness secrets with Men’s Health. “I’ve actually been doing a lot of yoga — hot yoga sculpt — because I love sweating,” he said. “People will be like ‘Oh, sweat is gross.’ I actually love it.

13. Cheryl Burke

Cheryl Burke shared some of her favorite at-home workouts with HollywoodLife. She says that tracking her workouts is important to her. “I love doing workouts on my mirror and also on my Fitbit app. [I’m] loving my Fitbit because it makes me want to reach my specific goals and it pushes you to do so along the way, all the while tracking my sleep, water intake, and number of steps per day, etc. Each workout is almost 60 minutes long.”

In an interview with Women’s Health, Britt Stewart shared her diet secrets. She says that she believes in intuitive eating and her meals are dependent on her schedule. "I do my three big meals a day; but when I'm in rehearsal and my schedule is crazy, I'm burning a lot of calories and I need to refuel, so I will eat snacks throughout the day.”

Maksim Chmerkovskiy likes to intermittent fast. He shared this photo on Instagram of his first meal that day. He captioned the post, “My 1pm breakfast 🍳That 16/8 kinda life 💪🏼Eggs, pickles, sourdough bagel, kerrygold butter, black caviar, coffee (w coconut oil & honey).”

Valentin Chmerkovskiy opened up about how he approaches teaching each of his celebrity partners to Parade.com. “It does vary on the partner that I have. I’ve tried to find my own lane. My niche on the show is to really take my partner on an educational journey, not just an emotional one. I really want to teach dance, not just perform an entertaining number for the cameras. That has always been my approach, especially when I’m working with capable talent, talent that is able to absorb the information and is able to pick it up.”

19. Sasha Farber

In 2021, Sasha Farber supported his friend and former partner, Simone Biles, after she withdrew from the Olympics. He told Entertainment Tonight, "For this 24-year-old to be in that position ... she is a phenomenal gymnast, everyone knows. But it just proves that you don't know what's going on inside of the other person sometimes, no matter how strong they look. So I really feel for her, but I know she's going to get through this."

20. Allison Holker

Allison Holker shared her diet secrets in an interview with HollywoodLife. “I really do believe that for your body, you can’t just work out without also eating healthy, so I myself eat more of a veggie diet. For the most part, I eat only vegetables and fruits and I drink a lot of water. I think for my body that is really the best fuel for me – I sleep better at night and I feel like my skin looks better because of eating vegetables and not eating meat.”
