Bailon starts the day with oatmeal, avocado toast, or a protein shake. "For lunch, I would eat huge salads, again with avocado,” she says. “My favorite green is arugula, it tastes delicious. I would chop up peppers and literally just make myself this huge, hearty salad. Another thing I would have in between as a snack — I love nuts, I still love popcorn, so I would still eat popcorn."
2. Chili and Lentil Soup

Bailon’s dinner usually consists of healthy legumes such as beans and lentils. "I would make myself vegan chili, like a huge pot of beans," she says. "I love lentil soup… lentil soup blesses my soul. I would do soup and a bunch of roasted mushrooms. I love sautéed kale, steamed broccoli, but I felt so good about myself because I was like, 'I am filling myself with such good nutritional food.'”
3. Shedding For the Wedding

Trainer Massy Arias got Bailon ready for her wedding to Israel Houghton. "She works out with me three to four times a week then she does homework that I give her at home so five days a week total," Arias said. "90 minutes total per day. 30 minutes of cardio on her own in the morning and then one hour with me. That hour was maximized because our training would be divided into circuits and there was no resting time or breaks in between."
4. No Alcohol

Bailon avoids alcohol as it leads to unhealthy food choices. "I am not only suddenly the Tasmanian devil when it comes to food, but I am, like, coming up with inventive ideas," she says. "'Let's leave here and go to Jack in the Box. From Jack in the Box, let's go to Taco Bell.' So, alcohol does actually expand your stomach, and two, it actually wreaks havoc on my vocal cords as well."
5. Bailon’s Healthy Habits
Bailon has a fitness mantra she lives by—and it’s all about self-acceptance. “I’m constantly reminding myself that the greatest form of self love – is self discipline,” she says. “They say it takes 21 days to form a new habit… I just want to encourage you to take this time to develop healthy habits! Drink your water, squat, rest, read, pray, take your vitamins, eat your veggies!”
