Heather avoids refined carbohydrates and keeps other carbs to a minimum "I’ve become one of those annoying people who’s like, 'I’m not gonna eat white flour and I’m not gonna eat sugar.' I do eat sugar sometimes, but as a broad rule, I try to just eat no sugar basically, and I have to say I feel a lot better. And I will sometimes eat things with white flour, but I try to avoid white flour,” she dished to Refinery29.

2. Yoga and Pilates

Yoga and pilates are Heather’s go-to workouts. She told Refinery29 that she does yoga three times a week, and sometimes for multiple hours per day. "I'm obsessed with yoga.
