PenaVega opened up about her approach to wellness to Life & Style. She says that she makes sure to have the mindset of wanting to be healthy, rather than wanting to lose weight. “It’s so easy to fall into the mind-set of, ‘I’ve got to be skinny,’ but that’s stupid,” PenaVega says. “You don’t want to be skinny, you want to be fit! I think there’s a huge difference and also being fit takes work. It takes an effort and to be able to show, ‘You know what? I dedicated this time to improving myself every day,’ like it gives yourself value.”

2. She Sometimes Uses The Keto Diet

PenaVega and her family are all about moderation when it comes to food. She tells Life & Style that she alternates between the Keto diet and indulging. “What’s really worked for us is we really love Keto, and we were doing Keto for a couple of years, and it had just given us the most energy. We kind of try to avoid carbs anyway. So, we do everything in moderation — mainly a Keto diet where it’s just proteins and good fats, but then we’ll have trips where we just indulge.”

3. She Opened Up About Her Eating Disorder

While competing on Dancing With The Stars, PenaVega revealed that she had been struggling with an eating disorder. In an interview on Sadie Robertson’s podcast, she talked about how coming forward helped her. "The second I started talking about it and telling people, I was like breaking off all those chains, and then it just became this thing that no longer consumed me,” she explains. “My mom just said to me, 'You know, now people are only going to see her as being a bulimic. So, don't ever let anybody know that you're dealing with this. And I know she meant it in a way of protecting me, but I really feel like the enemy took those words and just turned it into something that had a stronghold over my life. So I just lived with a secret and it just tormented me for so long."

4. She Eliminates Foods That Give Her Trouble

PenaVega opened up about how she approaches eating while in recovery from bulimia on Instagram. In it, she says that she has had to limit gluten, as it gives her trouble. “There are certain foods that still give me some trouble… So for me… It is easier to eliminate those foods, so that my body absorbs all the nutrients I can get!”

5. She Doesn’t Care About Others Opinions

In the same Instagram post, PenaVega says that she doesn’t care what others think of her. “Whether you are choosing a ‘lifestyle’ choice for dietary conditions or because you want to is completely and totally up to you,” she writes. “And guess what? It’s totally fine!!!! So don’t let bitter people discourage you from being the healthiest version of YOU that you can be.”

1. She Went Under the Knife

Dellanos is open about her plastic surgery procedures, telling The Sun she has spent over $17,000 on enhancements. "I had my breast augmentation in 2018 for $15,000 and my lip fillers for approximately $2,000. I also enhanced my booty a little which I will discuss on my YouTube channel soon." She believes that the money was an investment, since her social following grew dramatically after going under the knife. “I had about 200,000 followers on Instagram before my cosmetic procedures and before I started working out regularly," Dellanos told Insider. "I believe both has contributed a lot to my success. Cosmetic enhancement isn't for everyone, but in my case it's been a motivation to better every aspect in my life — amongst my physical appearance."

Dellanos maintains a meat-free and animal product free diet. "I am vegan, so it's really hard, sometimes to find food in certain restaurants," she says in the YouTube video. "They actually offered me a whole vegan selection, like a special vegan menu.

5. She Likes to “Share Positive Energy”

"I've learnt to never let the attention get to my head because no matter how big or small you are online, you are still just human," Alexa told The Sun. "Although I enjoy posting sexy photos and luxury lifestyle posts, I also try to post things that truly matter. I want to share positive energy to everyone I meet and to anyone who looks at my life through social media."
