While Burke eats a healthy diet, she tells Forbes that she doesn’t believe in completely depriving herself. “I [also] enjoy decadent meals every once in a while and I don’t beat myself up over it," she says. "There isn’t a restaurant in the world where I'm not able to find a great meal," she shares. "At home, a cheat day for me would be red wine and pizza with olive oil, olives and jalapenos.”
She Intermittent Fasts
Burke shared some of her diet secrets in this post on her website. “My suggestion for anyone who is seeking to improve their diet is to start with a simple but powerful tool: intermittent fasting,” she wrote. “Now, I know that the word ‘fasting’ might immediately conjure up images of deprivation and hunger, but that’s a whole different kind of fasting. Intermittent fasting is simply about arranging your meals within an 8‑hour window of the day. For instance, you might confine your meals and snacks to between 11am and 7pm. This not only prevents you from eating early in the morning or late at night, but it also allows you to still fuel your body during the day and burn fat while you sleep.”
She Stays Hydrated
Hydration Is More Than Drinking Water!Burke makes sure to stay hydrated, and that doesn’t just mean drinking water. She shared her hydration tips in this post from her website. “The truth is that we actually get a lot of hydration from our food, too! Raw fruits and vegetables are packed with vitamins, minerals, fiber and WATER! They nourish AND hydrate our bodies while making us feel full. These are some of the most hydrating items to put on your list: apples, asparagus, bell peppers. cabbage, cantaloupe, carrots, cauliflower, celery, cucumbers, grapefruit, kiwi, lettuce, mushrooms, oranges, radishes, spinach, strawberries, watermelon, yellow squash, and zucchini. I also love mocktails and cocktails that incorporate produce and cactus water – which is more hydrating than coconut water. One of my current faves has minimal sugar and plenty of antioxidants and electrolytes!”
She Schedules Workouts

Burke makes sure to workout on a regular basis. She tells Forbes that one of her secrets is by scheduling workout sessions. "Make a promise to yourself to make yourself a priority and commit to honoring that personal promise. You are worthy of it. I knock out workouts in the morning. It gives me the energy boost to be able to do everything else in my life. I schedule it like I schedule everything else—business meetings, kids’ sports events, etc. It also teaches my children the value of 'me time.’”
