Jessica Alba opened up about her diet in an interview with Women’s Health. She says that she believes in balance and moderation. For her, this means eating a plant-based diet on occasion. “Four days a week, I try to eat plant-based, and I don’t drink alcohol,” Alba explained. “Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, all bets are off. That feels like moderation to me.”
2. Charlize Theron

Charlize Theron opened up about her wellness and beauty secrets in an interview with Red Online. She says that eating healthy is important to her, and shared some of her favorites. “I have juices and kale and green salads every single day,” she says. “When I’m eating healthily, getting enough sleep and not drinking alcohol, that’s when I look my best. That’s when I’m happiest and I think it shows.” 
3. Jennifer Aniston

Jennifer Aniston revealed to British Vogue that she has changed her approach to working out. She says that she aims to not burn herself out with exercise. “It used to be pounding, pounding, pounding. You had to get 45 minutes to an hour of cardio; otherwise, you weren’t getting a workout. Not only do you stress your body, you burn out – who wants to do that at all?”
4. Halle Berry

Halle Berry tells Women’s Health that she makes sure to do ab and core workouts. And there’s one exercise she’s a big fan of. "One abs move I do incorporate into my workouts pretty often is planks,” Berry revealed. “I never did planks back in the day, but they've made a huge difference for my core strength and definition. Sometimes, I'll just hold a plank for as long as I can. My abs start to ache first, but pretty soon my entire body feels like it's on fire."
5. Kate Hudson

Kate Hudson is open about her love of fitness, being the owner of Fabletics. She shared some of her approach to fitness to People. "I love my body," she says. "It has birthed three children and given me so much more — you must honor your relationship with yourself and hold that sacred. And for that reason, it is so important to me to find time to make sure I'm fueling my body in the ways it fuels me, even if that means changing up my fitness routine so that I'm always challenging myself to achieve new goals."
6. Anne Hathaway

After welcoming her first child, Anne Hathaway opened up about her post-baby weight loss in a 2016 interview with People. “Some things I guess are the same as they were, and other things are a little bit different. I’m just so proud of what the changes signify. So, there’s no rush to do anything. I’m so happy being here.”
7. Cameron Diaz

In 2016, Cameron Diaz opened up about her diet to Bon Appetit. “Since my mid-30s, I've been conscientious about my eating and good nutrition. It's not really something I grew up with. What I really learned about aging was the five pillars of well-being. They're integrated and we need 'em all.”
8. Gwyneth Paltrow

Gwyneth Paltrow talked about her diet on her Instagram story. “I’ve been working with Dr. Cole to really focus on foods that aren’t inflammatory … so lots of vegetables, cooked vegetables, all kinds of protein, healthy carbs to really lower inflammation and it’s been working really well. This is, you know, based on my medical results and extensive testing that I’ve done over time.”
9. Kate Beckinsale

In 2016, Kate Beckinsale talked about her diet and exercise routine to Shape. She says that she opts to workout first thing in the morning. "I basically wake up, eat breakfast, and then work out. I prefer to get it done in the morning. That said, I don't naturally get up early. It would be much better for me if the entire world went to bed at 4 a.m. and woke up at noon. But it doesn't, so I'm usually staggering around first thing."
10. Scarlett Johansson

Scarlett Johansson works with trainer, Eric Johnson, to help keep herself in shape. Johnson opened up about the actress’ diet and exercise routine to Harper’s Bazaar in 2019. Johansson cycled through different foods to help her lose weight. “She cycled through days of high carbohydrates and low fat consumption, versus low carbohydrates and higher fat while maintaining protein intake.”
11. Blake Lively

Blake Lively works with trainer, Don Saladino, to keep herself in shape. Saladino talked about working with Lively to E! News. "She's really trying to show that level of consistency and I think that's what it comes down to," he said. "That's a good line that Blake and I have. If we're gonna come into a session, it's not about going into every session with a Rocky-type mentality."
12. Drew Barrymore

Drew Barrymore has a busy schedule, which means she doesn’t always have time to workout. She shared some of her secrets to staying motivated with Shape. “I've been trying to have standing workouts with my girlfriends, otherwise I totally lose the motivation, and it's such a bummer, but left to my own devices, I'm not gonna work out," she said. "But if I have standing workouts with my friends, I'm gonna do it. So, I love accountability. I also love being with my friends, and doing something positive and healthy is a great hang time.”
13. Jessica Biel
Rodin Eckenroth/FilmMagic
Jessica Biel talked about her strict diet to The Los Angeles Times. “Honestly, I just feel better when I don't have gluten or wheat or dairy," she said. "My digestion is better, I feel better, I have more energy." Biel also shared some of her favorite healthy foods in the interview. “We’ll start off with Paleo pancakes with some cashew or almond butter on top with some local honey, and we like chicken-apple sausage, and then maybe a fresh juice from the Juicero machine, which we love, we have some green tea with honey—that’s a pretty normal morning for me.”
14. Zoe Saldana
Roy Rochlin/Getty Images
Zoe Saldana opened up about how she fits workouts into her busy schedule in an interview with Shape. “I try to work out three times a week, but I don't believe in getting on one machine for 30 minutes,” she said. “If I do a lot of cardio, it usually just means I'll be dragging my feet for the rest of the day. And when I'm shooting, I really don't like to be strict with my workout, since I'm already putting in 16-hour days. So I do 20-minute intervals either at the gym or at home, where I run in place for 30 seconds, then do squats, then carry a heavy medicine ball a few times in a row until I get my heart rate up."
15. Mindy Kaling

Mindy Kaling has changed her approach to diet and exercises. She opened up about what changes she made to Today. “In my 20s, I thought a workout had to be something that was punishing, like 45 minutes of running and you had to hate it the whole time,” she revealed. “I don’t have that relationship with exercise anymore…Sometimes I’ll be like, ‘Well, I have four different times today where I have 10 minutes so let’s just walk instead of sitting down and checking Instagram.’ So instead of it being like one chunk of exercise in the beginning of the day or none at all, I’m now just deciding that I’m going to be a more active person all the time.”
16. Melissa McCarthy

Melissa McCarthy is open about her struggles with body image and self-esteem. “I finally said, ‘Oh for God sakes, stop worrying about it,’ and it may be the best thing I’ve ever done,” she said on CBS Sunday Morning. “I truly stopped worrying about it. I stopped over-analysing, over-thinking, over-doing anything… I just stopped constantly being worried about it and I think there’s something to kinda loosening up and not being so nervous and rigid about it that, bizarrely, has worked.”
17. Amy Schumer

Amy Schumer works with trainer, Jen Wiederstrom, to help her stay in shape. Wiederstrom talked about the comedian and actress’ workout routine to Shape. Schumer likes to do a lot of Pilates exercises. "We've had to do a lot of rebuilding around her core [and] back where there was once a lot of weakness. She lights up when she gets to tackle a new Pilates movement,"
18. Sarah Jessica Parker

Sarah Jessica Parker tells Life & Style that she keeps her workouts simple. “I walk a lot. I think walking is great. I have a Fitbit. I also live in a house with four flights of stairs.” According to Better Health, walking has a lot of benefits. “Walking for 30 minutes a day or more on most days of the week is a great way to improve or maintain your overall health.”
19. Jennifer Lopez
Frazer Harrison/Getty Images
No matter how busy she gets, Jennifer Lopez makes sure to workout on a regular basis. "Very rarely will I skip my workout," Lopez told UsWeekly in 2015. "Sometimes, I work too late the night before and I'm like, 'Ugh, I can't do this.' But I tell myself, 'Just do it. It's only an hour.' It's just talking yourself off the ledge of being a lazy bum."
20. Rose Byrne

Rose Byrne shared how she stays fit in an interview with Shape. “Exercise is a juggling thing with small kids,” she admitted. “I've been taking a lot of long walks and hikes. All that cliché stuff. And doing yoga, which I started when I was 15 and rediscovered during quarantine. I try to do it every day for 15 to 20 minutes. It's a great way to quiet the mind.”

Kim Kardashian is undeniably one of the most recognized faces on the planet. Entrepreneur. Mom. Social media maven. Icon. The Keeping up with the Kardashians star is known for many things, but it's her fit figure and curves that people seem to love talking about. For over a decade the reality star has been turning heads and frequently landing on the cover of magazines showcasing her famous assets. The mother of four looks incredible, so how does she do it? CelebWell reached out to dietitians to comment on her approach. Keep reading to find out her diet and fitness tricks—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bathing Suit Photos!
1. Trick #1: Eat the Right Carbs
See on Instagram
Kardashian shared on her app in 2018, via Harper's Bazaar: "My trainer Mel [Melissa Alcantara] always says that before and after you train, you should eat simple carbs, like sweet potatoes, and small amounts of fat and protein, like chicken. You should also have veggies with your meals, since you need them to help effectively break down and absorb your protein, fat, and carbs." "Carbs are an important source of energy," says  Sandy Younan Brikho, MDA, RDN, Registered Dietitian with The Dish On Nutrition. "Eating the right amount of carbs before training will help you have enough energy to perform well in both endurance training and resistance training. There are two different kinds of carbohydrates: simple and complex. 
Simple carbohydrates are digested fast and therefore provide you with short-term energy, which can leave you feeling low on energy at the end of your workout. However, complex carbohydrates are digested slower and therefore would provide you with enough energy to get you through your entire workout.
Examples of simple carbs:
Cookies
White bread
Fruit Juice Concentrate
Soda
Breakfast Cereal
Examples of complex carbs:
Potatoes
Oatmeal
Whole grain bread
Beans
Fruits
When you workout, your body’s glycogen stores are utilized as fuel, so consuming carbohydrates after a workout will help you restore them again. Overall, consuming carbohydrates before and after training will help you stay healthy and reach your weight loss goals by properly fueling you for your workout so that you are energized and fueled enough to complete it, and replenish what you lost after your workout. As you exercise and build more muscle, your metabolism increases and this further aids you in reaching your weight loss goals. Carbs are an important part of your diet and should always be incorporated in order for you to have a balanced diet."
2. Trick #2: Avoid Processed Food
See on Instagram
One of the ways Kardashian maintains her famous curves is by not eating processed foods. "I want her to eat real food that’s cooked every day," Alcantara told People. "Most likely if it comes out of a box, it’s not going to be good for you." Ronald Smith, a registered dietitian, explains, "Processed foods, like those found in vending machines and the snacks at convenience stores, are so bad for you for a number of reasons. They are generally high in sodium, likely to have trans fatty acids, and have many other unhealthy additives. Although improved nutrition labeling has made it easier for individuals to identify some of these unhealthy ingredient alterations, many processed foods are still hiding their additives in different names or ingredients that aren’t listed on the ingredients label. Instead, take a fresh look at what is on your menu. Many convenience foods found in vending machines and certain food establishments are less nutritious than they seem. Processed food is basically food that has been changed to improve and extend its shelf life. The food additives might not look, smell or taste any different but they are out there nevertheless. Processed foods are very difficult to spot because they can be found in the most unexpected of places. There is this idea that it is what you eat and how much of it that matters but the truth is that it is also crucial where it comes from and how it was prepared. Processed foods often cause weight gain, diabetes or lead to other diseases. Avoiding processed foods can be an effective way to drop the pounds and keep them off. Processed foods are often higher in calories than their naturally occurring counterparts, and just as often contain added sugars and what is referred to as 'empty' calories.”
3. Trick #3: 6 Day a Week Workouts
See on Instagram
Alcantara told Women's Health that the 41-year-old is a "badass mom" Kim will never cancel on her, no matter how early it is or how busy her day looks. Alcantara said that Kim is "super responsible, she never cancels—she's the best client and athlete you could have." Reda Elmardi, a Registered Dietician, certified nutritionist, Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist Trainer, and owner of thegymgoat.com says, "Training six times a week can be beneficial for your body if done properly. If you are looking to get stronger, then you should train at least three times per week. However, if you are trying to improve endurance, then four times a week would work better. You should not train too much each time. This could lead to overtraining and cause injuries. Make sure that you have enough rest between workouts. This allows your muscles to recover from the previous workout. Try to do a variety of exercises. Do some cardio, weight lifting, and plyometrics. These different types of exercise help keep your body strong and healthy. When doing any type of exercise, make sure that you warm up first. This helps prevent injury and increases blood flow to your muscles. Don't forget about stretching! Stretching before and after working out prevents muscle soreness and increases flexibility."
4. Trick #4: She Tried Two Workouts a Day for 30 Days
See on Instagram
Last year, the reality star and her sister Khloe Kardashain did two workouts a day for 30 days to start 2021 off right. She wrote on Instagram: "Sister Boot Camp Starts This Month. Plant based and two workouts a day for 30 days to get our mind and body right this year!"  Elmardi explains, "The human body needs exercise to stay healthy. If you don't work out regularly, your muscles will become weak and flabby. You'll have trouble doing everyday activities like walking, climbing stairs, carrying groceries, etc. Regular workouts can help prevent heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity, depression, arthritis, osteoporosis, stress, anxiety, and even cancer. If you're not used to exercising, then start slowly. Don't overdo it at first. Start off with 30 minutes of cardio exercises (like running) three days per week. Gradually increase your time until you reach 60-90 minutes. Some people are naturally leaner than others. They may need less exercise than other people. However, if you're overweight, you should still try to get some form of physical activity into your life. Try swimming, biking, hiking, dancing, yoga, aerobics, weight lifting, tennis, racquetball, squash, basketball, football, soccer, volleyball, golf, bowling, skiing, snowboarding, skateboarding, surfing, and many other sports."
5. Trick #5: Sprinting
amie McCarthy/Getty Images
Alcantara previously told Women's Health they'll up the intensity a few times a week with 10 minutes of sprints. And, fun fact, this is Kim's least favorite part of her workout routine. "She hates sprints," Alcantara said. "But she does them still, no problem. She knows that the worst" stuff "is the thing that works." Elmardi states, "Sprinting helps people lose weight because it burns calories. You burn about 100 calories per hour while running at a pace that is faster than your normal walking speed. This means that if you run for 30 minutes, you would have burned 300 calories. If you are not used to exercising, then this may seem like a lot of work. However, if you are already active, then you can expect to burn around 500-600 calories after just 20 minutes of sprinting.  If you are looking to get into shape, then you need to start running. If you want to lose weight, then you need to run. If you want to build muscle mass, then you need to do some form of cardio exercise. Running is the best way to burn calories and fat. You can use this information to your advantage if you're trying to lose weight."

Maintaining a healthy diet isn’t just about losing weight—eating right can help you feel great and promote longevity. Just ask some of Hollywood’s biggest stars, who are totally devoted to their health. From keto and intermittent fasting to plant-based and macro-counting, Celebwell has rounded up top diet tips from your favorite stars, and the photos that prove they work. And for more great advice, don't miss Gwyneth Paltrow Reveals How to Become Your Healthiest You.
1. Halle Berry Is Devoted to Keto Getty Images
Halle Berry, 54, has been a devotee of the keto diet long before it became a trend. After first being diagnosed with diabetes at 22, the former Bond girl adopted a keto-like diet and has been on it ever since. “My doctors told me I'd have to keep an eye on how I ate to stay healthy, and I took it to heart. I wanted to get off of insulin, so I decided to say goodbye to processed carbs and sugar like baked goods and white bread—and it has seriously paid off,” she wrote in an essay for Women’s Health. “For more than 15 years, eating this way has helped me manage my diabetes—but it's also given me a ton of energy and helped me maintain my weight and stay in shape.”
2. Carrie Underwood Counts Macros

Carrie Underwood used to count calories, but the “wannabe vegan” now keeps track of macros. She works with nutritionist Cara Clark, focusing on maintaining a healthy balance of 25 percent protein, 45 percent carbs and 30 percent fat. "I love rules," Underwood admits. Her diet consists of eggs (but only ones laid by chickens in her backyard), lots of fruits and veggies, Ezekiel toast, vegan meat and tofu, dark chocolate, and even red wine. "I do have my vice," she admitted to Women’s Health. 
3. Jennifer Aniston Does Intermittent Fasting

Jennifer Aniston’s secret to maintaining her fabulous figure in her fifties? She skips breakfast. 
"I do intermittent fasting, so there's no food in the morning," she told Radio Times (via CNBC) in 2019. "I noticed a big difference in going without solid food for 16 hours." Instead of eating in the am, she sips on coffee and celery juice. And, of course, she does allow herself one “cheat day” on Sunday. 
4. Beyonce Went Vegan
Kevin Winter/Getty Images
Beyoncé famously ditched animal products on the 22 Days Nutrition program in preparation for her post-baby Coachella performance in 2018. She was so impressed with the physical and mental results, that she partnered up with her trainer and nutritionist, Marco Borges, on the program. “We know the power of vegetables,” Borges said in a video of Bey’s vegan journey to Coachella. “Plant-based is really about eliminating all of the overly processed foods that don’t do us any good anyways. When you’re eating plant-based you will definitely have more energy.”
During the video, the star munches on veggies while doing her thing. “It’s time to work, so I have to get in that zone, it’s like a different headspace,” she said. “Me getting the weight off was so much easier than getting back in shape and my body feeling comfortable.”
5. Jennifer Lopez Is Devoted to Clean Eating
Kevin Winter/Getty Images
Jennifer Lopez is the poster girl for looking fabulous in her fifties. She recently appeared on the cover of InStyle's The Beauty Issue, flaunting her rock hard swimsuit bod. "I'm in the best shape of my life," she admitted. J.Lo doesn't follow a specific diet—she makes healthy and clean eating a lifestyle. "You got to work out, you got to watch what you eat," she told Us Weekly. "It's a job— you've got to buckle down." Her trainer, Dodd Romero, revealed that her ultra-clean diet consists of five basic categories: protein, vegetables, fats, carbohydrates and water. She "stays away from processed foods and gets her nutrients from whole sources," he revealed. Egg whites, white meat turkey, chicken breast, grass-fed beef, salmon and sea bass, nuts, veggies (minus carrots and corn as they are higher in sugar than leafy greens), sweet potatoes, brown rice, quinoa, rice bread and oatmeal, are all on her regular menu.

Kate Winslet has been the poster child for strong, curvy women since bursting into superstardom with her role in the 1997 blockbuster movie Titanic. Winslet, 47, has a down-to-earth approach to health and wellness that focuses on energy, happiness, and real beauty. So how exactly does she stay so strong and maintain her physique? Here’s what her diet and exercise regimen looks like. 
1. Yoga and Cardio

Winslet enjoys a variety of workouts to help keep herself happy and healthy. “Power yoga class a couple of times a week, some barre, cardio, and we have a dog, so I love going on walks,” she says. “I drink lots and lots of water! I’m really trying to be healthy.”
2. At-Home Pilates

Winslet likes working out in the peace and quiet of her home when possible. “I have a mat and little hand weights and I do a stomach thing and a bum thing. It’s very simple – you barely break into a sweat,” she says. “Here’s what’s so great about it: no one’s looking at you, no one’s telling you what to do or work harder or anything like that. I know it seems slightly tragic but it’s my way of exercising in a time-efficient way.”
3. Lots of Juicing

Winslet drinks plenty of green juice she makes at home from fresh vegetables. “Our fridge is always full of spinach, kale, cucumbers,” she says. “I’m vegetarian and my husband is vegan, so there’s a lot of plant-based focus in our home. My husband turning vegan is relatively recent, so that’s been a really fun education because you have to learn to be a little more inventive with foods.”
4. Her Beauty and Wellness Mantra

Winslet believes in the power of good habits to ensure optimum wellness. “Beauty in your 40s is about depth and experience. And good habits,” she says. “Drink lots of water. Get outdoors as much as you can. Also, I exercise a lot and that makes an enormous difference in terms of endorphins and skin health.”
5. Portion Control

Winslet refuses to diet, but is sensible about indulging in treats. “When it comes to dieting, I just don't care,” she says. “I watch myself as much as any average woman does, you know? I'll eat one cookie, not a whole box of cookies. But I'll still eat the one cookie...sometimes two, or even three. But not the whole box.”
6. No Scales, Ever

Winslet refuses to weigh herself, instead focusing on overall health. The actress relies on a healthy diet and regular exercise to look and feel good. “I don’t know how much I weigh, I haven’t weighed myself in 12 years,” she says. “Top tip: it’s a great move.”
7. Health For Beauty

Winslet knows that exercise and diet make a huge impact on appearance. “These days, I’m a little more health-conscious in terms of thinking about the next 10 years of my life,” she says. “[I] want to maximize my physical strength and keep my skin good without doing anything to my face. I do believe that beauty and wellness really reflects in your face, in your eyes, and how you feel. It goes hand in hand with elegance as well.

Read on to see 7 of Jane Fonda’s top weight loss tricks for staying in shape and the photos that prove they work—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bathing Suit Photos!
1. Avoid Fad Diets

In a 2012 video for BeFiT, Fonda revealed that diets are not, in fact, the key to weight loss. "Most diets focus on weight loss on the scale, and they impose temporary and often unhealthy restrictive behavior," she said. "Unfortunately, this scenario sets us up to fail." She cited research stating that 80% of dieters “will regain all or most of the weight that they lost within two years.” This is why drastic diets are not part of her approach. “Fad diets are the ones promising unrealistic results. You should not try to lose more than two to three pounds per week, max," she said. 
2. Always Eat Breakfast

You won’t find Fonda on any intermittent fasting plans. "Every morning, commit to starting the day with a nutritious breakfast. People who do so tend to lose weight," she said in the video. "Breakfast, by the way, is the most important meal of the day, and making a good choice there will set you up for success for the rest of the day."
3. Indulge on Occasion

Fonda says, allow yourself to indulge on occasion. "You don't want to feel deprived," she points out in the video. "You can't sustain that over the long haul. So, if you have a piece of chocolate, it's OK—just don't eat the whole box, or maybe take a longer walk tomorrow."
4. Eat As Plant-Based As Possible

Fonda eats a healthy, clean diet that is as plant-based as possible. "I eat a fairly healthy diet. I'm not rigid," she dished to Vogue. "I have cut way back on red meat. I've cut back on fish because fish supplies are dwindling. I eat vegetables. I eat salads. I eat fresh food. I'm just careful about what I eat. I don't eat a lot of sugar, except lately I have."
5. When You Overeat, Exercise More

When Fonda does indulge in "unhealthy" food she will exercise more. "I was in Italy for two and a half months making the sequel to Book Club, and ate gelato and pasta every single day while I was there," she told Vogue. "But I never gained weight. I would get up at six in the morning before the heat hit and walk for an hour, hour and a half, two hours on days when the work permitted me to do that. I walk a lot, and that helps me."
6. Just “Keep Moving”

Fonda encourages movement. "I have to keep moving, because when you get older, it's more critical than when you're young. You have to keep your body moving," she told Well + Good. "For me, if I don't, not only does my body begin to deteriorate, but so does my mind, and I know that I need those endorphins."
7. Do Cardio and Resistance TRraining

Mix up your workouts, says Fonda. "It's important to do both cardio (aerobic) as well as resistance exercises. Aerobic activity is the only thing that gets rid of fat from all over your body including the marbled fat deep inside your muscles — dieting alone can't do this," Fonda wrote in a blog post.

Harley Pasternak is responsible for some of the hottest bodies in Hollywood. Over the years his celebrity client roster reads like the guest list of a major awards show—Eva Mendes, Jessica Simpson, Rihanna, Kim Kardashian, Megan Fox, Ariana Grande, Halle Berry included. The trainer-to-the stars recently spoke with Celebwell about how he helps the hottest bodies in the business shape up. And, he also revealed the one trick that can help almost anyone lose weight. Read on to find out Harley Pasternak’s one trick to lose weight and learn about a few more of his get-fit tips—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bathing Suit Photos!
1. Avoid Added Sugar

Pasternak maintains that one major way to shape up is by ditching added sugar from your diet. “Americans consume exponentially more sugar than they should. By reducing sugar in your diet, you will be reaping metabolic, endocrine, and neurological benefits,” he said, calling sugar the number one greatest challenge to losing weight. “When choosing fruit, focus mainly on low sugar, high fiber fruit, like blackberries and raspberries. Beware of sugar-rich sauces and condiments. With milk, avoid alternative milks that are loaded with countless ingredients and sweeteners, and stick to the real thing,” he says, adding that he uses Maple Hill 100% grass-fed organic milk and plain Greek yogurt in his smoothies. “Avoid sugary beverages and stick to water and non-caloric flavored beverages.”
2. Walk More

Another one of his top tips for celebrity clients trying to get into shape? “Walk more,” he says. Take it from his client Jessica Simpson, who maintains walking 14,000 steps a day was an integral part of her 100-pound weight loss.  
3. Try His Body Reset Diet

While there is no one eating plan that works for all people, all the time, many of Pasternak’s clients use the Body Reset Diet, “to jumpstart a healthy eating lifestyle, create structure and healthy habits that they can use ongoing.” The 15-day plan involves drinking a lot of nutrient-packed smoothies in the first five days, and then consuming nutritious meals for the remaining ten. Processed and refined foods, sugar, and anything fried are all off limits.
4. Make Time for Exercise

Pasternak notes that lack of time is the number one excuse people give for not being more physically active. “But it’s easy to multitask and add more walking into your day,” he says. “I like to do my phone calls and text while I’m moving my feet. I also try to socialize with a friendly walk. As far as resistance exercise goes, as little as 10 minutes per day is really all you need. In fact I did a whole workout video series on ALO moves based on 10 minute workouts.” Bottom line: If his celebrity clients can make time for exercise with their busy schedules, so can you!
5. Skip Sedentary Activities

Finally, Pasternak warns against maintaining a sedentary lifestyle. “Today we are more sedentary than ever due to innovations with technology. Getting up out of your chair and hitting more steps per day is essential and creates the foundation of fitness,” he says.

Kriti Sanon knows that staying fit doesn’t have to feel like a chore. The Bollywood star recently shared a video on Instagram rocking two-piece workout gear, proving that her fitness philosophy is all about keeping things fun and challenging. From TRX routines to hip thrusts, Sanon mixes up her workouts to stay motivated and strong. “It’s gotta be fun,” she says—and judging by her energy in the gym, she’s clearly found the perfect balance. Here’s how Sanon keeps herself in top shape with a variety of exercises that work both body and mind.

            
                She Does TRX

Sanon does a lot of things to keep herself in shape. She is seen using TRX cables in her Instagram video. NIFS states that these exercises have a lot of benefits. “If you have ever taken a class or done some of even the most basic exercises, you quickly see that core activation is one of the most important aspects. The workouts are simple yet very challenging, and you can easily complete a total-body workout only using one piece of equipment in 20 minutes.”

            
                Strength Training

Sanon is seen doing a lot of strength training exercises in her Instagram video. Strength training has a lot of health benefits. The Mayo Clinic states, “By stressing your bones, strength training can increase bone density and reduce the risk of osteoporosis. Strength training can help you manage or lose weight, and it can increase your metabolism to help you burn more calories.”

            
                She Does Hip Thrusts
            
            
        Kriti Sanon/Instagram
Sanon is seen doing hip thrusts with a shoulder press in her Instagram video. Hip thrusts have a lot of benefits. Gymless says, “Hip thrusts are a controlled and powerful movement, mainly focusing on the glutes, hamstrings, lower back, and core. This exercise is vital for developing a stronger posterior chain, contributing to improved athletic performance, alleviating lower back pain, and enhancing overall physique. Considering that about 65 million Americans experience some form of back pain, hip thrusts are a great exercise to include in your routine.”

            
                She Does Russian Twists
            
            
        Kriti Sanon/Instagram
Another exercise that Sanon is seen doing in her Instagram video is Russian twists with a weight. Gymless says that this exercise is very beneficial. “Russian Twists are a great exercise that develops all parts of your core, especially the obliques, it also targets the shoulders and hips. This exercise involves rotating your torso from side-to-side while maintaining a sit up position with your feet off the ground. This rotational movement often occurs in sports, which makes it a popular exercise amongst athletes. It is speculated that this was developed during the Cold War by the former Soviet Union as a training exercise for the Russian Soldiers.”

            
                She Uses A Stationary Bike

Sanon also shared this workout video on Instagram. In it, she is seen using a stationary bike. Penn State PRO Wellness reports that stationary bike workouts have a lot of health benefits. “Riding a stationary bike can help build strength in your legs and lower body, especially if you use a higher resistance. The pedaling action can help strengthen your calves, hamstrings, and quadriceps. Additionally, it can work the muscles in your core, back, and glutes.”

Alice De Bortoli doesn’t just light up Instagram with her stunning fashion and effortless style—she also shares the secrets behind her enviable beach-ready physique. The Italian influencer keeps her followers in the loop when it comes to fitness, beauty, and wellness, proving that looking and feeling great is all about consistency. From skincare rituals to core-sculpting workouts, De Bortoli’s daily habits make it clear that staying in shape is about more than just hitting the gym. Whether she’s cooking up homemade meals, breaking a sweat, or showing off a fresh new look, she’s all about feeling her best from the inside out. Here are five of her go-to habits for maintaining a strong, confident, and glowing presence all year long.

            
                She Takes Care Of Her Skin

De Bortoli has impressive skin. Naturally, she takes care of it on a regular basis. De Bortoli shared this video on Instagram sharing her skincare routine. She captioned it, “The secret to perfect skin? Here is my step by step routine! ✨💦🎀 What product can you absolutely not live without?”

            
                She Changed Her Hair Color
            
            
        Alice De Bortoli/Instagram
De Bortoli recently changed her hair color. She explained why in the caption of this Instagram post. “The good thing about this color is that it does not require frequent touch-ups and it easily adapts to natural hair growth, it is versatile and can enhance any body and face shape 🧡for those who are tired of blonde or brown, bronde is the solution to change harmony without distortion 🤍for those who have a fair complexion, the most golden tone is recommended 🤎 for the dark complexion, on the other hand, more ash brown ❤️ 🔥what can I say... For me the bronde conquered, and what do you think?”

            
                She Cooks
            
            
        Alice De Bortoli/Instagram
De Bortoli likes to cook, and she was taught to do so by her grandmother. She shared this video on Instagram of herself and her grandmother cooking together. De Bortoli captioned it, “Grandparents are wealth in society, my grandmother loves to cook and do it with her since I was a child. She has always inspired my creativity, patience, discipline and order but above all traditions, history, and the concreteness of nature's gifts. The greatest teaching my grandparents passed on to me is respect for people, the environment, animals and the kitchen... Today together we made Carnival Frittelle, an easy, quick dessert that adults and kids love. The ingredients are few and simple (but of high quality) and, trust me, the result is guaranteed: nice round but above all soft and tasty.”

            
                She Works Her Abs
            
            
        Alice De Bortoli/Instagram
De Bortoli shared this video of herself working out on Instagram. In it, she is seen doing core exercises like sit-ups. Core exercises are extremely important. The Mayo Clinic says, “Strong core muscles make it easier to do many activities. When your core muscles are strong, it's easier to swing a golf club, get a glass from the top shelf and bend down to tie your shoes. Strong core muscles help athletes, such as runners. That's because weak core muscles can lead to more fatigue, less endurance and injuries.”

            
                She Works Out With Others

In the previous Instagram video, De Bortoli is seen working out with a friend. Better Health says that this has a lot of benefits. “You’re less likely to get bored when you have a workout buddy, especially a friend. While you’re catching up, having a laugh, encouraging each other, you’re also getting healthier. It’s a win-win. Chatting to a friend during exercise and breaks can help time pass quickly too. You’ll have more options as well, such as a game of tennis or squash.”

Kristin Cavallari is a reality TV and fashion icon. Since she debuted on Laguna Beach, people have clamoured for her fashion and beauty secrets. Cavallari recently shared her eye makeup secrets on Instagram, after several people asked for them. She captioned the post, “This is for the girlies in my DMs asking about this eye every time I do it. Sorry the lighting is awful. I also don’t know why the audio isn’t in sync for half of it 🫣 but here ya go 💗”

            
                She's Less Strict With Her Diet
            
            
        Kristin Cavallari/Instagram
Cavallari has written several cookbooks, and they have changed as her diet has changed. While promoting her book, Truly Simple with EatingWell, she revealed that her diet is less strict. “I've gotten to a point in my life where not everything has to be so perfect anymore,” Cavallari said. “I used to be so strict about what I was putting in my body. I'm still very healthy and very conscious of it, but I've gotten a little bit more lax. True Roots and True Comfort had nothing ‘white’ in them: no white flour, no white sugar, no white salt. But in Truly Simple, I bend a little bit in a few of the recipes, which really reflects where I am in my life and my new way of eating. Everything is a little bit more relaxed around here now.’

            
                She Loves Cauliflower
            
            
        Kristin Cavallari/Instagram
Cavallari tells EatingWell that she loves making foods with cauliflower. “I love cauliflower because I think it's very versatile, and there's actually a Sweet Harissa Cauliflower recipe in Truly Simple that's my absolute favorite cauliflower recipe on the planet. If you've ever been to True Food Kitchen, their cauliflower was the inspiration behind it. There's this sweet harissa dressing that's on it, and there's little chopped-up dates in it, so it has that nice balance between sweet and savory. It's the absolute best.”

            
                She Loves Salad
            
            
        Krisitn Cavallari/Instagram
Cavallari likes to make salads. She shared one of her favorite recipes with EatingWell. “This salad has a few of my favorite things: salmon (which has omega-3s and is so, so good for you), bacon (no explanation needed), avocado (healthy fats), and spicy tomatillo ranch dressing (just yum). Together, they create culinary heaven. If you aren't familiar with tomatillos, they're similar to tomatoes but are slightly less sweet and are perfect when drenched in ranch.”

            
                She Works With A Trainer

Cavallari tells Us Weekly that a lot of her gym sessions are with her personal trainer. “He kicks my ass,” she says. “He pushes me really hard. He has me actually lifting really heavy weight, the heaviest weight I’ve ever lifted in my entire life. I feel the best I ever have. I feel like I’m the strongest I’ve ever been.”

Cavallari shared some of her wellness secrets in an interview with Us Weekly. She says that consistency is one of her biggest priorities. “My goal is sort of, right now, just to maintain the muscle that I have,” she says. “I’m really petite. I have no hips. I’m just small. And so if I don’t work out for like a week or two, I feel like all my muscle goes away. So it is about consistency for me.”
