Drew is one of the many stars who start their day with a big glass of lemon water. She told Grub Street that it is "a great way to jump-start your body for the day." The Mayo Clinic endorses the daily habit. “Acid helps break down food. That’s why there’s so much of it in our stomachs. The acid in lemons may be especially helpful in supplementing stomach acid levels, which tend to decline as we age,” they say. “Most of us don’t drink enough water. A daily lemon water habit is an easy way to get your day off on the right foot.”

2. Her Diet Is (Mostly) Plant-Based

Drew's approach to health includes healthy eating, which includes a lot of plants. "I eat pretty clean for the most part, which is hard for me to say about other areas of my life. I'm getting better as I get older. I did not [always] take care of myself. I didn't workout or eat healthy, I didn't take care of myself, I probably drank too much. I worked too hard and was an extremist. I resented it when people told me to find the balance. It's different now and I feel like I'm in a much better place. I feel better and I like it. I know when it doesn't feel in balance. I am quick to notice it and get it back on track. I eat a lot of vegetarian and pescatarian food. I eat meat here and there,” she told Eating Well.

3. She Cheats

Drew eats healthy, most of the time! “I love my 'cheat meals', too, for sure,” she revealed to Eating Well. “I love tacos and enchiladas and refried beans. The other day I had the best ravioli I've ever eaten in my life. I don't eat like that all the time, but having it be a celebratory meal that feels special.”

4. She Does Yoga and Exercises

Drew, who is a longtime yogi, maintains it is great for the body and mind and is one of her go-to self-care practices. She is also a fan of The Class workouts. “Some of my mom friends and I try to do this class together once a week. It’s a tough one, but a great way to get Friday going,” she told Grubstreet.

5. She Doesn’t Obsess Over Her Weight

Drew doesn’t put much emphasis on the numbers on the scale. “I go up and I go down. The rollercoaster of my body is a challenging, but beautiful ride,” she wrote in a recent Instagram caption. “That said, there have been times I have stood in my closet and just cried. Hated getting dressed. Didn’t feel good! It takes so much for me to look decent. I have to eat just right and work my a— off!”

6. She Works Hard

Drew maintains that she works hard at maintaining her figure. "I have to work so hard at not being the size of a bus... And it's OK. That is just my journey. That is my karma. I don't know, maybe I was thin and mean in a past life," she toldInStyle. "If I looked decent on anything that I have done since I had my two kids, I have clawed my way there. You can too! However, it is hard to sustain and can take a lot of the joy out of life with food,” she added in an Instagram post. "I have to eat just right and work my ass off! I cannot fight that I have the propensity to be the Pillsbury doughboy!"

Florence Pugh, the acclaimed actress known for her dynamic roles, shares behind-the-scenes glimpses from her upcoming film with Andrew Garfield, "We Live In Time." On Instagram, Pugh highlights moments from the set, giving fans a sneak peek into the making of the movie. Known for her candid approach to Hollywood's stringent beauty standards, Pugh has openly criticized the industry's obsession with dieting and body image, emphasizing a healthier, self-accepting lifestyle. Whether preparing for a physically demanding role or choosing her fashion statements, Pugh embraces her authenticity, advocating for body positivity and personal freedom in both her professional and personal life.

1. She Doesn’t Diet For Roles

Pugh doesn’t believe in dieting for her movie roles. She talked about this in an interview with Vogue. “From the moment you start growing thighs and bums and boobs and all of it, everything starts changing, and your relationship with food starts changing. It was expected that you would be on whatever diet that you needed to be on, and for me, that was just shocking because I'd never done that before. I think I definitely put my foot down in that aspect. I love food."

2. She Calls Out Society’s Standards

In an Instagram post, Pugh called out the body standards society has for women. "What’s been interesting to watch and witness is just how easy it is for men to totally destroy a woman’s body, publicly, proudly, for everyone to see. It isn’t the first time and certainly won’t be the last time a woman will hear what’s wrong with her body by a crowd of strangers. Thankfully, I’ve come to terms with the intricacies of my body that make me, me."

3. She Worked With A Trainer

To film Fighting With My Family, Pugh told Culture Trip that she worked with a trainer to get in shape. “As soon as we got the roles, [director] Stephen [Merchant] mentioned he wanted us to do as much wrestling as we could. We would have stunt doubles, but he wanted to get us in the ring so we needed to get really strong. We were assigned CrossFit trainers, and it was a month of intense squatting and eating as many protein bars as possible. And wrestling 24/7. My trainer had a gym in Oxfordshire, which is where I was based at the time. I still train with my guy because I actually got ready with him for The Little Drummer Girl. It’s brought a lot of skills to the surface.”

4. She Wears What She Wants

Pugh doesn’t want to let people tell her what to do. And that extends to her clothing choices. "If I'm happy in it, then I'm gonna wear it," Pugh told Vogue. "Of course, I don't want to offend people, but I think my point is: How can my nipples offend you that much? Yes, I can put makeup on and look good for a premiere. But at the end of the day, I still have hair on the top of my lip and I still smell after a workout and I still get spots when I’m stressed."

5. She Skis

According to this Instagram post, Pugh loves to ski to stay in shape. Skiing is a great workout. The University of Rochester states, “Skiing and snowboarding are thrilling activities and great workouts. Both sports are excellent cardiovascular exercises that strengthen the heart. They are also weight-bearing exercises. So they strengthen your bones as they tone your muscles.”
