1. She Stays Hydrated

Michele revealed some of her health and wellness secrets in an interview with FashionBombDaily.com. Michele says that she makes sure to stay hydrated and drinks a lot of water each day. “Increase your water intake,” she said. “Any amount is better than what you’ve been drinking. Your body and skin will thank you for it in the long run.”

2. She Controls Her Portions

Michele tells FashionBombDaily.com that she isn’t on any specific diet. In fact, she admits that she’s not the healthiest eater. Rather, she practices portion control with her meals. “I try to cook as much as I can, and I don’t necessarily cook healthy, but I use very small portions to keep the calories at bay,” she said.

3. She Keeps Indulgences to Once a Week

Michele tells FashionBombDaily.com that she isn’t always the healthiest eater. She says that she does indulge, but tries to keep them for only once in a while. “I love soda, but my skin and body don’t,” she says. “I’m a cheater about once a week.” “Switching from regular to diet soda may offer a short term cut in calories, but your body won’t be fooled for long,” registered dietitian Kristin Kirkpatrick, MS, RD, LD, tells the Cleveland Clinic. “Research suggests that your body reacts to certain nonnutritive foods, including the artificial sweeteners in diet soda, in ways that may actually harm your health.”

She says that she likes to work out at home, and tries to do a cardio session each day. “I am naturally skinny but I stay on the treadmill in my house,” Michele says. “I watch the clock for the entire 45 minutes like a hawk. But I work really hard, I’m up to an eight incline.”

5. She Wear Sunscreen

Michele has amazing skin, and she takes care of it. She revealed some of her secrets to Radar Online. One of them is protecting her skin from the sun’s rays. “I wear sun screen every day, 50 or more because I believe it is a fountain of youth,” she explains. One "other key to effective sunscreen use is ensuring the correct application and amount. Most people aren't using as much sunscreen as they should. At least two tablespoons of sunscreen, or 1 ounce, should be used to cover all surfaces of the skin, except the eyelids," says the Mayo Clinic. "It is also important to reapply sunscreen at least every two hours, or any time after sweating or swimming. Although some sunscreens may be listed as water-resistant, none is truly waterproof."

However, when she wants to lose weight, she does a diet bootcamp dubbed the “military diet.” While on it she consumes clean foods like grapefruit and lean protein. “You know what I had for breakfast today?” she revealed in an Instagram video. “Coffee, one hard-boiled egg, celery, and a spoonful of cottage cheese.”

2. She Walks on the Treadmill

Working out doesn’t have to be complicated, according to Draya. For example, she has a treadmill at her house so she can get in a workout when needed. “I am naturally skinny but I stay on the treadmill in my house,” she told RadarOnline. “I watch the clock for the ENTIRE 45 minutes like a hawk. But I work really hard, I’m up to an eight incline.”

3. She Prioritizes Hydration

Hydration is a key part of Draya’s health routine. If you think you are drinking enough, drink more! “Increase your water intake,” she told FashionBombDaily per Madame Noire. “Any amount is better than what you’ve been drinking. Your body and skin will thank you for it in the long run.”

4. She Cooks and Eats Small Portions

Draya loves cooking and eats meals in small portions. “I try to cook as much as I can and I don’t necessarily cook healthy, but I use very small portions to keep the calories at bay,” she told FashionBombDaily. “I love soda……but my skin and body [don’t]. I’m a cheater about once a week.”

5. Her Diet Is Healthy, But Balanced

Draya focuses on a healthy, balanced diet “I am six months pescatarian. I’ve tried to limit my chicken and red meat consumption a lot. I try to drink a lot of water. I try to work out. My downfalls are sweets. I really love sweets. And alcohol goes with partying. If I’m going to drink, I try to diet. If I’m not going to diet, I try to skip dessert,” she told BET. “Dieting is always going to be a struggle, so that’s why you have to balance it with working out. I don’t eat whatever I want, but if I do eat whatever I want, I at least got to work out to make it even.”
