I spent every Sunday meal prepping, rarely eating out and being VERY strict. Then I decided upon a more flexible approach to my nutrition and discovered it’s truly perfect for my lifestyle.

Cardio, I’ll do maybe three times a week. When I was in Puerto Rico, I’d run outside because it gave me a nice view to be outdoors and running in between palm trees. I haven’t done Muay Thai in over a year now, and I’m starting to miss it. I believe a girl should always be able to throw a good punch. It’s a good self-defense.”

I gave birth end of July and then I had the Victoria’s Secret show in November, four months later, so I started around the beginning of October because you can’t start too early because of your abs and you have to be careful.

Celebwell rounded up 12 amazing bodies of former Angels and their top diet and fitness habits.


1. Taylor Hill Loves Her Body

Paris,,France,-,November,30:,Taylor,Hill,Walks,The,RunwayShutterstock

"I used to hate my body, and I thought I was really ugly," Taylor told Byrdie. "I was so not confident, and becoming a model—and especially a VS girl—has changed my perspective on who I am. It's kind of given me a new light: You're beautiful no matter what you look like, no matter what body type you have. I always envied curvy women because I wasn't that. The grass is always greener, and you'll always have to deal with that. But being a model has helped me embrace my body type. It's hard on some girls, but it actually helped me a lot."

2. Taylor Hill Exercises

Paris,,France,-,November,30:,Taylor,Hill,Walks,The,RunwayShutterstock

Taylor mixes up her workouts. “I do mainly light weight-lifting and squats when I’m in the gym. My favorite place is Dogpound in NYC,” Taylor revealed to Harper’s Bazaar about her sweat sessions. “But I also do some yoga, pilates and crossfit. It’s important to switch things up so that your body doesn’t get too used to anything.”

3. Taylor Hill Doesn’t Believe in Diets

“I actually don’t stick to any diets, but I eat everything in moderation. Plus, exercising regularly is very important,” she told Harper’s Bazaar. Hr favorite meals? “When I’m in Paris, I always have Japanese udon. And pizzas in New York. I also love spaghetti, and basically everything when I’m in Italy.”

4. Taylor Hills Reads

In her recent post, Taylor shows off the latest book she is reading. One Harvard study published in Social Science & Medicine found that people who read books regularly had a 20% lower risk of dying over the next 12 years compared with people who weren't readers or who read periodicals.

5. Taylor Hill Works Out with a Personal Trainer

Taylor enlists the help of a personal trainer to achieve her goals. "I have to use a trainer because I cheat in classes," she told Byrdie. "I'm a natural-born cheater. I cheat on everything—I cheated on tests (don't tell my teachers), I cheat workouts, I eat whatever I want! So I just needed someone to watch me and make sure I'm doing it correctly. When I have an hour, I want to give everything I have to that hour, like, really work out.”

6. Sara Sampaio Does Pilates

Paris,,France,-,November,30:,Sara,Sampaio,Walks,The,RunwayShutterstock

Sara likes an amped up version of pilates. “I've been doing a lot of SLT. It’s like a really intense Pilates with a machine. I’ve noticed with my body that small movements have done more for my body than the boot camps. My body moves better when it’s very focused on small movements that elongate your body and your muscles,” she told The Cut. “I tried SLT for the first time five or six years ago when I first got to New York. It was really hard, it was too hard. Then I was training for the Victoria’s Secret show last year and gave it another try. I really liked it, it was not as hard. I think they had changed it a little bit. I could actually go through a whole class without feeling like I was going to break down.”

7. Shanina Shaik Works Out with Personal Trainers

London,,England,-,December,02:,Victoria's,Secret,Model,Shanina,ShaikShutterstock

Shanina relies on personal trainers to keep her in runway model form. “I have a few favorite trainers whom I’ve enjoyed following over some time now, including Melissa Wood, Megan Roup of Sculpt Society, and Shannon Nadj of Hot Pilates. It’s extremely motivating to follow their workouts, even from the comfort of home. I usually gravitate toward workouts that incorporate a lot of Pilates. My favorite moves are making small circles and stretching your legs with ankle bands. Lastly, I like to use a resistance band, pointing your feet and pulsing up and down; it’s great for the inner and outer thighs,” Shanina revealed to Hum Nutrition.

8. Kelsey Merritt Does Two a Days

New,York,,Ny,-,February,05:,Kelsey,Merritt,Attends,TheShutterstock

Kelsey works out not once, but twice a day. "The past few months I've been working out everyday—and sometimes twice a day. This past week I did pilates, if I feel good then I'll do 30 minutes of cardio. I always make sure to put cardio in my workouts. I'll do SoulCycle, then I'll go on the treadmill. I will do strength training with a personal trainer at Dogpound,” she told Elle.

9. Jasmine Tookes Balances Diet with Exercise

New,York,,Ny,-,November,13:,Model,Jasmine,Tookes,WalksShutterstock

Jasmine fuels her workouts with food. “I love to eat tons of food with lots of carbs. I balance it with working out. But generally, I try to be very clean and eat healthy, and always have a lot of protein. I do have a lot of cheat days. I feel like you should be able to eat what you want,” she told The Cut. One of her cheat meals? “I love to have hot wings and French fries,” she said.

10. Hailey Bieber Sticks to A Primarily Plant-Based Diet

Hailey eats as plant-based as possible, because it makes her feel good."I tried a plant-based diet for two months during quarantine," she told Harper's Bazaar. "I felt great and I had a lot of energy, but it was not for me. I don't eat a strictly plant-based diet and I do still eat meat. I just don't eat a lot of it. I've picked up more fish, greens, and lentils." Her diet involves "a lot of vegetables and fish, not much meat, minimal dairy,” she told Byrdie. "I just feel better when I eat that way."

11. Alessandra Ambrosio Allows Herself to Indulge

Paris,,France,-,November,30:,Alessandra,Ambrosio,Walks,The,RunwayShutterstock

Alessandra used to go to extremes to stay in shape, but avoids dieting now. "After having Anja I only had three months to lose all the weight [before doing the 2008 Victoria's Secret show] and I was on this 1,200-calorie-a-day meal-delivery service that I hated. I couldn't do that again," she told The Edit. "Whenever I start to diet, everything goes downhill,” she added. “So if I want a little bite of dark chocolate on a plane or a cocktail with friends on the weekend, I'll have it. In fact, I'll drink a glass of red wine with dinner most nights, and two or three times a week I'll have a cup of tea and a cupcake with Anja, who's as obsessed with red velvet as I am.”

12. Candice Swanepoel Has a “Balanced” Approach to Wellness

Candice focuses on upholding a balanced lifestyle. “It’s being happy and healthy. I don’t like restrict myself from certain foods that I want, or kill myself at the gym. It’s really what’s comfortable for my body at the time and what’s best at that moment,” she told The Cut.

13. Kelly Gale Eats Clean and Exercises

Paris,,France,-,November,30:,Kelly,Gale,Walks,The,RunwayShutterstock

Kelly tries to exercise daily. “Usually on my days off, and sometimes before going to set – I end up heading to pilates, boxing or jump rope and when that gets boring, I go rock climbing with friends or find some other activity we can tackle,” she revealed to V Magazine, adding to Grazia that she works out “for a few hours” and does “a lot” of walking. She also eats clean.“My diet generally consists of fresh, organic produce (all veggies, nuts, seafood, occasional eggs and lots of raw vegan dark chocolate) and superfoods everyday such as chlorella and spirulina. If I ever need an immune booster I have tons of ginger, tumeric and baobab,” she said. It “takes a while to get used to healthier foods if you’re used to eating crap, or if you have been brought up eating a certain kind of way,” she admitted. “To me, almost everything clean and healthy taste good and you can always play around and make it taste even better.” Another way she sets herself up for healthy eating success is preparation. “When I’m traveling, I always bring a big variety of healthy snacks and superfoods – usually opting for vegetables and fish or seafood when ordering food or on set.”

14. Izabel Goulart Juices

London,,England,-,December,02:,Victoria's,Secret,Model,Izabel,GoulartShutterstock

Izabel drinks a lot of juices. “The first thing I do in the morning is prepare fresh juice. I have 15 different recipes, which I drink for 15 days consecutively. Then I repeat the recipes from the beginning for the next 15 days of the month. My juices include fruit, vegetables, leafy greens, and even grains. After a workout, I have a protein drink and always keep a protein bar in my bag," she told Vogue.

15. Miranda Kerr Drinks Lemon Water

New,York,,Ny,-,November,09:,Miranda,Kerr,Models,TheShutterstock

Miranda relies on lemon water to keep her digestive system working. “Hot water with lemon to start the day, it's really good and it stimulates the digestive systems,” she told Elle UK. After downing that, she moves on to another trendy beverage. “And then after that I have my cold-pressed green juice every day. And it has like kale, spinach, cucumber, celery.”

16. Doutzen Kroes Dances

New,York,-,November,19:,Victoria's,Secret,Fashion,Show,ModelShutterstock

Doutzen dances her way to a hot body. Her favorite workout is Ballet Beautiful with Mary Helen Bowers, which she takes three times a week. “It keeps everything tight. I’ve worked out with her for two years and I really like the results,” she told Vogue. “I used to always box and run, and with boxing, I would build a lot of muscle. After I had my son [Phyllon, age 3½], I started doing ballet. It makes you long and lean—it’s like the Pilates look.”

Jasmine Tookes shared her wellness secrets with Byrdie. She says that she likes making protein shakes. "Normally I wake up at 9 a.m. I’ll start out with a protein shake. I’m always working out, so I need to make sure I’m giving my muscles protein. I love to do banana, strawberries, plant protein powder, goji berries, cacao, and a little bit of almond milk."

2. Lais Ribeiro

Los,Angeles,-,Nov,15:,Lais,Ribeiro,At,The,#revolveawardsShutterstock

Lais Ribeiro talked about her wellness journey with Byrdie. “I’m a lucky girl that I used to eat everything and nothing would happen and now because I’m getting older, I see the changes. Not because of my body but because of my health, especially with the coronavirus, your immune system...you need to boost it up. I’ve been doing sauna and ice because my fiancé is an athlete and he has such good habits. I also found this new underwater workout, XPT Life, where you put the weights under the water and you do squats, lunges, and jumps—it’s really good for your respiratory system.”

3. Sara Sampaio

London,,United,Kingdom-,December,2,2109:,Sara,Sampaio,Attends,TheShutterstock

Sara Sampaio shared her wellness secrets with HollywoodLife. She says that she does a variety of things to keep herself in shape. “I’ve been doing a little bit of everything. I’ve been doing some cardio classes, especially when I’m in LA and then I’ll do resistance training or weight training, mixed with a little bit of cardio. Sometimes I’ll go to pilates, I just try to do a little bit of everything.”

4. Josephine Skriver

Los,Angeles,-,Feb,9:,Josephine,Skriver,At,The,28thShutterstock

Josephine Skriver shared some of her workout secrets with Vogue. In it, she said that she got some advice from her fellow Victoria’s Secret Angel. “Jasmine Tookes got me into lifting weights. I had never seen my body change so quickly. I like to train and lift weights three to five days a week as I find it the best stress release or go for a boxing session. I used to go to an authentic boxing gym but I just want to sweat and get boxing fitness so now I see a friend if I’m in Nashville or I go to Dogpound in New York. When I travel I always ask if I can stay in a hotel with a gym but if they don’t have one I just train in my room and do chair dips and do exercise with my body weight. I travel with my ankle cables and resistance bands so that I can do something.”

5. Elsa Hosk

Los,Angeles,-,Apr,23:,Elsa,Hosk,Arrives,For,TheShutterstock

Elsa Hosk talked about how she eats before a show to ELLE. “I think it’s really all about balance. I try to stay away from processed food and eat organic with lots of vegetables and really nourishing foods to keep me strong. You have to eat properly to do the show because it’s a lot of energy—and the runway is long!”

6. Karlie Kloss

Karlie,Kloss,At,The,2016,American,Music,Awards,Held,AtShutterstock

In an interview with Byrdie, Karlie Kloss talked about how her diet evolved. “I really learned and got excited about baking and cooking with healthy ingredients, fresh ingredients, a more balanced diet of vegetables and protein, and learning what it means to actually eat clean. In doing so, I not only feel better in my body and more confident in my body, but I also have so much more energy. That has been a whole other education.”

7. Candice Swanepoel

Los,Angeles,-,Nov,15:,Candice,Swanepoel,Arrives,For,TheShutterstock

In an interview with Allure, Candice Swanepoel is one of many models who shares how they prepare for the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. “I do a lot of resistance training, weights, yoga, and Pilates. I eat what I usually eat, maybe even a little bit more, because I'm tired from working out, but I eat clean."

8. Heidi Klum

Los,Angeles,,Ca,-,Mar,4,,2023:,Heidi,Klum,AtShutterstock

Heidi Klum tells Glamour that her wellness is a year-round thing. “I pretend it's bikini season all year and regularly make healthy decisions. My favorite workout is a long run along the Westside Highway, which stretches along the Hudson River in New York City...it's a beautiful path, and you always feel surrounded by such an amazing community. You see the same people running every morning, and they inspire me to keep going. That and knowing there is a Starbucks coffee at the end of the route!”

9. Martha Hunt

London,,Uk.,December,10,,2018:,Martha,Hunt,At,The,FashionShutterstock

Martha Hunt makes sure to eat healthy. She shared some of her favorite foods with Bonberi.com. “I love salmon and kale because those are healthy fats and protein. Sweet potatoes are delicious. I love that Hu Kitchen does a healthy version of the chicken tenders. And I love smoothies.”

10. Alessandra Ambrosio

Alessandra,Ambrosio,At,The,Lacma,Gala,Held,At,The,LosShutterstock

Alessandra Ambrosio shared her Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show prep with Allure. “I started three months ago trying to work out every day. I do different things—Pilates, barre, Physique 57 yoga, outside sports, all kinds of things. The last week, I do eat differently, yes. I cut the carbs and the sugar, and I eat protein, but I don't know whether cheese is considered a carb. I could never survive without cheese.”

11. Lily Aldridge

Los,Angeles,-,Mar,12:,Lily,Aldridge,At,The,2023Shutterstock

Lily Aldridge also shared her fashion show prep with Allure. “About two months in advance, I'll start amping up my workouts and changing my diet slightly,” she says. “And I'll go to two workouts a day. I'll do Ballet Beautiful and Pilates—it just depends on which city I'm in. In Nashville, I'll do Pilates, and here, I do Ballet Beautiful. I eat a lot of protein and vegetables. I love to make myself roast chicken. And I feel good now. I feel confident and ready for the runway."

12. Taylor Hill

Los,Angeles,-,Dec,15:,Taylor,Hill,Arrives,For,TheShutyterstock

Taylor Hill tells Harper’s Bazaar that she works with trainer Lauren Duhamel to keep herself in shape. “We do a lot of muscle-isolation exercises where you do slow, controlled movements for certain areas of your body that you're trying to target," she said. "It's hard because you have a lot more little muscles than you think you do. When you activate them, it's one of the hardest things I've ever done in my life. My whole body was quivering. I can't control my shaking; it's crazy."

13. Stella Maxwell

Los,Angeles,-,Mar,12:,Stella,Maxwell,At,The,2023Shutterstock

Stella Maxwell shared her wellness tips in an interview with HollywoodLife. “For me, the mind and body are the keys,” she says. “A healthy mind equals a healthy body. I try to do yoga and meditate every day. I eat clean and fresh and drink a lot of water. I think avoiding stress is also a big key to a healthy life.”

14. Erin Heatherton

New,York-feb,5:,Model,Erin,Heatherton,Attends,The,2014,AmfarShutterstock

Erin Heatherton opened up about her diet in an interview with People. “I always eat healthy because you don’t want to dig yourself in a hole,” says Heatherton. “The best diet is to focus on what you should be eating, and knowing how the foods you’re eating are helping you be healthier and look more beautiful. What you put in your body is what makes you glow and look healthy and gorgeous.”

15. Chanel Iman

Los,Angeles,-,Mar,17:,Chanel,Iman,Arrives,For,TheShutterstock

Chanel Iman is all about self-care. She shared her favorite things to do in an interview with W Magazine. “Taking some time for yourself is always necessary. I like to write, so I always write down my thoughts and everything that’s going on in my life in my journal. That really helps me mentally. And talking to someone as well—I always think everybody needs someone to talk to.”

16. Barbara Palvin

Antibes,,France.,May,17,,2018:,Barbara,Palvin,At,The,25thShutterstock

Barbara Palvin shared some of her favorite workouts with Us Weekly. She says that she loves doing reverse lunges with a stability ball, as it comes in handy for photoshoots. “You have the ball, you put one leg on it and one behind you. So you bend down straight and put your leg back straight, stand up and then go down. You do that eight times, both legs, and actually if you do it before a shoot, for example, it really lifts your butt.”

17. Jac Jagaciak

Paris,,France,-,October,03:,Jac,Jagaciak,Walks,The,RunwayShutterstock

In the same Allure interview, Jac Jagaciak revealed that she doesn’t have a specific routine for getting ready for the Victoria’s Secret Show. “It's more that I work out almost every day, and normally I only do it three times a week,” she explained. “I do a little bit of boxing, a little bit of Pilates. It's a mix of things. And I just eat healthy, three proper meals a day and then some snacks in between. What would I avoid? Uh, probably dairy. I don't really eat dairy so much anymore. I think dairy makes you a little bloated. And I think people really just found out lately, it's not really good for your body, so I trust that."

18. Behati Prinsloo

Los,Angeles,-,Nov,04:,Behati,Prinsloo,Arrives,For,TheShutterstock

Behati Prinsloo makes sure to take care of her skin. She shared her secrets with The Cut. “For my morning skin-care routine, I’ll start by washing my face. I use a nice eye cream, and then the essence. If it’s daytime, I’ll do an oil-free SPF. Sometimes I’ll add a BB cream to get a little color. I like to curl my lashes because I don’t always put on mascara.”

19. Romee Strijd

Cannes,,France.,May,08,,2018:,Romee,Strijd,At,The,GalaShutterstock

Romee Strijd shared her workout secrets in an interview with ELLE. “What I always fit in my workout schedule is running, incline walks and stairs. So I would say going on a treadmill, run 15 minutes, 15 minutes incline walk, run 15 minutes, 15 minutes incline walk. That will make you sweat, but you will feel energised.”

20. Adriana Lima

Los,Angeles,-,Mar,27:,Adriana,Lima,Arrives,For,TheShutterstock

The longest-running Angel, Adriana Lima, shared her workout secrets with Life & Style. “I do like three times a week of functional training and three times a week of boxing. Soon I will be implementing Pilates and possibly yoga. I love working out.”

Jen Heward is a fitness influencer. A few weeks ago, she shared a workout she did while she was pregnant on Instagram. In it, Heward is seen doing things like lunges, bicep curls, and modified push-ups. Heward captioned the post, “Always picking wedgies 🐫🤣 Killer full body burn 🔥 from the drafts!! Little did I know I was going to have a baby 2 weeks from the day this was filmed 🥹 I actually haven’t done a full body since this workout 🤣 I’m inspired by my own videos to get back into it again 💪🏼”

She Strength Trains

In her Instagram post, Heward is seen doing exercises with weights. This has a lot of benefits. ACE Fitness states, “Strength training with heavy weights improves muscle definition. Muscle definition occurs as the result of muscles remaining in a state of semi-contraction and heavy strength training recruits the larger type II muscle fibers responsible for a muscle’s appearance.”

She Does Lunges

Another exercise that Heward is seen doing in her Instagram post is lunges. According to The Mayo Clinic, this exercise has a lot of health benefits. “The lunge is a body resistance exercise that works the leg muscles. Specifically, the lunge targets the quadriceps and the hamstring muscles in the thigh, the gluteal muscles in the buttock, and to a lesser extent, the lower leg muscles. The lunge is a great conditioning exercise for many sports, especially those that involve lunging movements, such as tennis, basketball or soccer.”

She Does Core Workouts

Heward likes to do core workouts to keep herself in shape. She shared some of her favorite core exercises with ankle weights in this Instagram post. Heward captioned it, “Strengthening these hips and core back postpartum 🔥 plus quite a few of you were asking for some inner thigh exercises! SAVE 4 LATER. It might not look like much for core, but you need a whole lot of deep core stability for these leg exercises. This way you hit more than one muscle group at a time! The workout took me 30 min but had me 🥵”

She Does Pull-Ups

Heward shared this workout video on Instagram. In it, she is seen doing pull-ups. According to Gymless, it can be very beneficial to do these. “Pull-ups are one of the most fundamental calisthenics exercises that build up your strength and endurance in the upper body. It is commonly used as a form of physical test from schools all the way up to the military. Many athletes from all sports backgrounds use pull-ups in their training, which makes this one of the best exercises for building the upper body and developing a bigger and stronger back.”

She Does Hip Thrusts

Heward is also seen doing hip thrusts in the previous Instagram link. Gymless says that these are very beneficial for your glutes. “Strong glutes are not only for aesthetic appeal; they serve a key functional purpose in supporting the posterior chain of muscles around the spine. Hip thrusts are also known for their capacity to develop and define glute muscles, contributing to their popularity on social media. After all, who doesn’t appreciate the look of a well-crafted pair of glutes?”

Brooke Ence is a fitness expert, and is the founder of From The Farm USA. She shares a lot of her favorite workouts on Instagram. Recently, Ence shared a video of herself doing interval weight training. In it, she is seen doing things like burpees, deadlifts, and sit-ups. Ence captioned the post, “So here’s one of my favorite ways to break a sweat. 🔥 It’s challenging, mentally engaging, and interval style, which always keeps it fun.”

She Lifts Weights

As you can see from her Instagram video, Ence likes to lift weights to keep herself in shape. She shares a lot of other posts of herself using weights. According to ACE Fitness, lifting weights has a lot of health benefits. “Lifting heavy weights elevates levels of anabolic hormones—specifically testosterone, growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1)—which are used to repair muscle fibers damaged during exercise. This helps the muscle fibers to become thicker and capable of generating higher levels of force.”

She Does Deadlifts

Ence is seen doing deadlifts in her Instagram video. ACE Fitness says that this exercise has a lot of benefits. “One significant benefit of the RDL is that it teaches clients how to lift from the hips instead of using the lower back. The base move of the RDL is the standing hip hinge, which is an important component of learning how to squat correctly. The first move during the lowering phase of the squat should be the hips moving back in a flexed position. Back pain is often associated with not using the hips properly when squatting or bending over to pick an object up off of the ground. Teaching clients how to lift safely in the gym means they m

She Does Burpees

Ence is seen doing burpees by jumping over a barbell in her Instagram video. Burpees have a lot of benefits. A Healthier Michigan says, “A burpee is an easy exercise and can be done in almost any location because it involves no workout equipment and only requires a small amount of space. Burpees workout your entire body and are great for building strength and burning calories.”

She Does Sit-ups

Another exercise that Ence is seen doing in her Instagram video is sit-ups. The Cleveland Clinic says that sit-ups are very beneficial. “Sit ups are essential for strengthening your core — something that’s obvious. But your core is responsible for so much more than those classic ‘six pack’ abs many strive for. A strong core can reduce back pain, improve balance and increase your flexibility. Core muscles also support your hips and pelvis. Finally, a strong core will help you build good posture.”

She Jumps Rope

Another thing that Ence does to keep herself in shape is jump rope. She shared a photo on Instagram of herself jumping rope for an interval. Ence captioned it, “Got snapped 📸 during my training day. Here's the Metcon I was doing, how many double unders could you get? 4 Rounds. 20 Alternating Dumbbell Snatches . 90 Seconds Amrap Double Unders.. Rest 1:00.”

She Does Gymnastics Training

As a way to help with her dives, Pellacani does a lot of gymnastic training. She shared this video on Instagram of herself working on her flips. Pellacani captioned it, “This is one of the methods we use to correct and improve our dives before we do them in the water!! • it’s very useful to replicate the feeling we feel while diving and therefore it allows us to correct our mistakes with the help of the coach. 😁💗 (this in particular was not an easy workout😂).”

She Strength Trains

Pellacani also likes to strength train to keep herself in shape. She shared this video on Instagram of herself using a barbell. Pellacani captioned the post, “There is nothing more annoying than ppl belittle what u do!! • No sport is easy, they all require a lot of effort and discipline💪🏻💗”

She Does Squats

In the previous Instagram video, Pellacani is seen doing squats with a barbell. Squats are very beneficial. The Cleveland Clinic says, “Squats target and strengthen your thighs, hips and butt. Why does that matter? A strong lower body is important for athletes, yes, but not just for athletes. Your lower body fuels your ability to walk, run, jump … everything, really. It also generates power for upper-body movements and all kinds of other activities.”

She Loves Eggs

Pellacani shared some of her favorite foods in this TikTok. In it, she is seen enjoying scrambled eggs on toast for breakfast. The Mayo Clinic states that eggs have a lot of benefits. “One egg contains: 75 calories. 5 grams of fat. 6 grams of protein. 0 carbohydrates. 67 milligrams of potassium. 70 milligrams of sodium. 210 milligrams of cholesterol. Eggs are also a great source of vitamins A, D and B12, as well as choline, a nutrient essential in many metabolic steps.”

She Loves Yogurt

Pellacani is seen enjoying a yogurt dish in her TikTok. Yogurt is very healthy. The Cleveland Clinic says, “Yogurt has been linked to healthy blood pressure and cholesterol levels. And some research shows that eating yogurt as part of a healthy diet can help prevent long-term weight gain, which is good for the heart.”

She Loves Raspberries

Pellacani’s yogurt dish includes raspberries. The Cleveland Clinic states that they have a lot of benefits. “Raspberries are also full of antioxidants and nutrients called polyphenols that decrease oxidative damage. Like their blueberry cousin, they’re high in fiber to aid in digestion, blood glucose control and weight loss. There’s more, too. Raspberries also are great sources of: Vitamin C. Manganese. Potassium.”
