Read on to see 10 ways Alyssa Milano stays 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. She Has Followed the Atkins Diet

After welcoming her second child in 2014, Alyssa started with a low-carb diet to lose the baby weight and then transition to Atkins. “This journey with Atkins is about me feeling better overall, having more energy and reaching my happy weight,” Alyssa, a spokesperson for the brand, told People. “I enjoy all my favorite foods. I love chicken and fish; I eat lots of vegetables, healthy fats, low sugar fruits, cheese, and nuts. Some of my favorite things include parmesan-crusted chicken with cheesy cauliflower bake and tacos night with fresh guacamole. I have all the fixings and just use lettuce cups in place of tortillas,” she says. “In fact, Atkins inspired me to learn how to cook for myself and my family using foods that are lower in carbs.”

2. She Loves Group Fitness

“I love spinning,” Alyssa told The Cut during an event at Peloton. “I also love Pilates and yoga. Occasionally I’ll take a dance class or a Zumba class. But I really like to spin because I feel like it’s a full-body workout: 45 minutes, you’re in and you’re out. I don’t really have time for much more than that. I used to do a lot of yoga, but I just don’t have time for a 90-minute class anymore.”

3. She Hydrates

Alyssa prioritizes hydration. She revealed to People that she makes sure to drink six glasses of water with lemon every single day.

4. She Fuels Up with Protein Shakes

Alyssa starts her day with a cup of coffee with almond milk and protein shake. Her go-to recipe involves two cups of almond milk, an ounce of whey protein powder, one-half small banana and one-quarter tsp. Cinnamon.

5. She Focuses on Lifestyle, Not Diet

“I don’t use the word diet because if I use the word diet, it’s not happening,” she told E! News. Instead, she maintains, it is about lifestyle.

6. She Doesn’t Work Out with a Personal Trainer

Most Hollywood stars have a personal trainer on hand, but not Alyssa. “I don’t like working with a one-on-one coach. I feel like it’s too much pressure,” she told E! News.

7. Wellness Is All About “Feeling Good”

Alyssa explained what wellness means to her during an interview with The Cut. “It’s an overall sense of feeling good, whether that be mentally or physically or health-wise,” she said. “Just feeling good about who you are and the choices you make. Honestly, I think it’s really important that we take care of ourselves, and with the amount of things that I juggle in a day, as far as trying to balance motherhood and being a working mom, I don’t think I could do it without a sense of wellness.”

8. She Struggles to Sleep Enough

Alyssa admits that getting a good night’s sleep isn’t easy for her. “I struggle to find enough sleep. I sleep usually from about midnight to 6 a.m. It’s interesting, but I grew up in this business, so I’m used to waking up very early, because you have to be in hair and makeup at 6 a.m. And you’d work crazy, crazy hours, and you’d come home and you just crash. Honestly I think that I just function okay with small amounts of sleep if I have to — I think my body’s just preconditioned to that,” she told The Cut, adding that she has “weird hormonal insomnia.” She explains, “Right before I get my period I get where I can’t sleep at all, and those are the nights that I just kind of surrender to it and try to not stress myself out about not sleeping. If I’m traveling, I’ll bring melatonin just in case, if there’s a time difference.”

9. She Tries Not to Eat Alone

Alyssa likes to eat meals with others. “I actually don’t like to eat alone,” she told The Cut. “I think that has something to do with the fact that I’m Italian, and food is always about family and celebration and having meals. So if I’m alone, I’m much more likely to pick up a shake or a bar than I am to actually sit and have a meal by myself.”

10. This Is Her Ultimate Health Advice

Lifetime's Summer Luau - ArrivalsPaul Archuleta/FilmMagic

“I always say, ‘Eat less, move more.’ It’s about eating less carbs and moving more; that could mean anything that you enjoy doing that is actually active. It doesn’t have to be working out; it could be gardening or hiking or taking the kids out for a walk in the stroller,” she told The Cut when asked about her top health tip.

1. Kendall Jenner

Kendall Jenner covered i-D magazine in a pink bathing suit this week. When it comes to wellness, Jenner says that getting enough sleep is important for her, especially before a job. She says she needs seven or eight hours “to function.” “Create a room that's ideal for sleeping. Often, this means cool, dark and quiet. Exposure to light might make it more challenging to fall asleep. Avoid prolonged use of light-emitting screens just before bedtime. Consider using room-darkening shades, earplugs, a fan or other devices to create an environment that suits your needs,” says the Mayo Clinic. “Doing calming activities before bedtime, such as taking a bath or using relaxation techniques, might promote better sleep.”

2. Melissa Gorga

Melissa Gorga shared this beach photo on Instagram with her fellow Real Housewives of New Jersey stars. When it comes to her diet, Gorga says that she doesn't like to do restrictive diets. "I never do fad diets," she says Women’s Health. "I feel like I do a lot better with my own routine. It’s worked for me forever." Gorga also says that she prioritizes consistency with her diet and exercise. "I feel better when I eat healthy. If I don’t work out for a week or two, I feel miserable."

3. Joey King

Actress Joey King posed by a waterfall in Costa Rica this week. When it comes to wellness, specifically her diet, King says to New Potato, that she tries to be healthy, but doesn’t drive herself crazy over it. “As far as diet and exercise go, I try to eat as healthfully as possible, but I don't make myself crazy. If I'm craving a piece of bread or a bowl of pasta, sometimes I just need to listen to my body and indulge."

4. Leah McSweeney

Leah McSweeney shared a swimsuit snap from a trip to Jamaica this week. She revealed to Yahoo Life that she decided to get sober at the beginning of the pandemic. "I realized that it was gonna just go so dark so quick," she says. "…It's very hard to drink in a light and fun way during a once-in-a-lifetime pandemic when you’re stuck at home, and people are dying everywhere. So yeah, I think that that kind of definitely put it in a full-speed stop."

5. Jessica Alba

Jessica Alba shared several beach and swimsuit photos on Instagram. When it comes to working out, Alba tells Marie Claire that she likes to use fitness apps and videos to stay in shape. “I downloaded a few apps and I'll watch YouTube videos of different fitness folks. So I signed up to [the Equinox+] app and they do meditation, they do yoga, strength training. They have all those things and you can keep track of your health.”

6. Nicole Scherzinger

Singer Nicole Scherzinger posted a photo on Instagram of herself enjoying a margarita in a pink bikini. When it comes to her diet, she tells Women’s Health that she believes in moderation. “Don't deprive yourself of anything because eventually you'll crave it and then you might binge on it. Everything in moderation.”

7. Jordana Brewster

Actress Jordana Brewster posed in front of the mirror in an olive green one-piece swimsuit. Brewster broke down some of her favorite workouts to NewBeauty. She says that she does a lot of work on the treadmill. “I like interval training on the treadmill—side shuffles, walking at a fast pace on an incline and running.”

8. Ayesha Curry

Ayesha Curry posted a photo on Instagram of herself posing in a blue swimsuit, while enjoying the pool. Curry told Women’s Health that she believes in moderation, saying, “I'm not a dieter. For me, it was really about learning how to exercise portion control and living that 80/20 life."

9. Alessandra Ambrosio

Alessandra Ambrosio posed in a blue polka dot bikini in the ocean on her Instagram story this week. "I've been doing a lot of Tracy Anderson now, and it's a lot of dancing cardio, and I love it. I'm obsessed with it,” she told E! News. “I have the best time, because the music is really loud and you don't really feel like you're working out. You feel like you're dancing and learning this cool dance move.”

10. Gabby Allen

Gabby Allen posed in a black bikini in an outdoor jacuzzi on Instagram, where she didn’t let the cold environment stop her from showing skin. Allen has gorgeous skin and hair, and she tells Women Fitness that she believes her diet helps keep them that way. “I preach that at least 2 liters of water a day will help to nourish your skin and hair. And I minimise dairy products and refined sugar. I also try and have as many red skinned fruits and veg in my diet as I believe it helps with healthy skin tone!”

It’s 2022! A new year. And these celebrities decided to start the year off with some swimsuit photos. Safe to say, they all looked great. Read on to see all the ways Jennifer Lopez, Eiza Gonzalez, Sarah Michelle Gellar and more stay 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. Jennifer Lopez

Lopez’s fitness secrets have been coveted by many. However, one of her secrets is pretty obvious. Lopez is an incredible dancer, and even started her career out as a “Fly Girl” dancer on the show In Living Color. "During aerobic activity, you repeatedly move large muscles in your arms, legs and hips. You'll notice your body's responses quickly," reports the Mayo Clinic. "You'll breathe faster and more deeply. This maximizes the amount of oxygen in your blood. Your heart will beat faster, which increases blood flow to your muscles and back to your lungs. Your small blood vessels (capillaries) will widen to deliver more oxygen to your muscles and carry away waste products, such as carbon dioxide and lactic acid. Your body will even release endorphins, natural painkillers that promote an increased sense of well-being."

2. Addison Rae

Addison Rae posed in a yellow bathing suit on the beach this week. With one look at her Instagram, you’ll know Rae is a big fan of going to the beach. She also loves to surf and swim when she’s there.

3. Elle Macpherson

Model Elle Macpherson lounged in the sun on her Instagram story this week, and she wore a stunning black bathing suit. Macpherson is on an Alkaline diet, which involves eating foods that affect your body’s pH levels. She told Vogue that this diet helped her clear up her skin. “What I’d always thought were sunspots – actually, they were sugar spots - started to clear, and my skin looked tighter, dewier, plumper,” she said. “I started to lose weight, probably because my sugar cravings had subsided. My digestion improved. I felt more emotionally balanced.”

4. Eiza Gonzalez

Actress Eiza Gonzalez posed on a boat on Instagram this week. She wore a light green and white patterned bathing suit with ruffles. When it comes to working out, Gonzalez says that she tries to get moving every day. "I like to keep moving every day, not necessarily 'work out' every day, but keep moving," González told Harper's BAZAAR Australia. "It doesn't have to be intense, just getting the body some blood flow and not staying stagnant."

5. Rita Ora

Rita Ora was “feeling 2022” when she posed in a strapless black bathing suit on the beach. When it comes to her fitness, Ora tells Shape that she has changed her approach to it. “I used to push myself until I felt sick. But I'm approaching it differently now. I enjoy working out. And I like the aftermath-that feeling of contentment."

6. Paris Hilton

Paris Hilton has posted a lot of stunning swimsuit photos from her long honeymoon with her new husband, Carter Roem. Her most recent was of her posing in a black and white bathing suit top and skirt with a giant inflatable unicorn. Hilton is open about the fact that she doesn’t do traditional workouts. However, she tells Yahoo Life that she has a machine that helps her workout throughout her busy day. “When I’m getting a facial, I just lie there and this machine attaches to your body and is basically like doing a million sit-ups. You just lie down and relax, but your whole body’s being worked out the whole time. I think that’s an amazing hack for working out and not actually having to do anything.”

7. Dua Lipa

Dua Lipa has never been afraid to show off her petite figure, flat abs, and toned legs. She posted a new swimsuit photo on Instagram this week. When it comes to Lipa’s exercise routine, she tells The Urban List that she likes to try a lot of new things. She also says that she loves to try local workouts when she travels. “I love mixing up lots of different training, finding different workouts in whatever city I’m in, whether it’s yoga, Pilates, boxing or spinning. Whatever it is, I try to change it up every day to keep things interesting. When you’re on a tour bus, every day and every place is different, so you never know what you’re going to find. That’s always one way to keep it interesting.”

8. Bella Hadid

Model Bella Hadid and her friend Lauren Perez lounged on an inflatable float in the ocean this week. Both girls wore bathing suits, showing off their figures. When it comes to her diet, Hadid tells People that she has methods of eating healthy when she travels. “I like to eat healthy and not eat crazy plane food.”

9. Alessandra Ambrosio

Model Alessandra Ambrosio has never been afraid to post revealing photos on Instagram, and she’s posted a lot of swimsuit photos on her account. Despite being a model, Ambrosio says that she isn’t on any extreme diets. She tells The Edit that her diet is all about moderation. “I’m all about moderation and eating something different every day. Obviously I try not to splurge on pasta, but if I’m back in Brazil where everything is pasta- or bread-based — and so yummy — I’ll eat whatever I want, then go back to lots of salads and chicken or fish with veg as soon as I’m back in LA.”

10. Sarah Michelle Gellar

Gellar posted a series of photos from her family’s vacation. One photo included her in a blue swimsuit. One of the things Gellar also did on vacation was go ziplining. Her first post of 2022 was an Instagram video of herself ziplining over the gorgeous scenery.

She captioned the post, “The best feeling.” "Are you ready to take the plunge and try a new fitness activity? How about water exercise? Also known as aquatics, water exercise is one of the best non-impact fitness activities around and just about anybody can participate. Pregnant women, the elderly or overweight, individuals with arthritis or those recovering from an injury can all benefit from the wide variety of aquatics classes currently available," says ACE Fitness.

Before making her debut on the show Love Island, Brown made sure to get in shape. She broke down her process to The Sun. “I hired a personal trainer for weight training, then would spend the rest sweating away on the treadmill,” she explained.

3. She’s Comfortable With Herself

Being in the public eye, Brown has had to deal with body shaming. However, she tells The Sun that she is confident in herself, despite all the comments. “What the shamers need to realize is that there's a difference between someone who is unhealthy and overweight, and someone who's just a normal size,” she said. “I'm perfectly fit and happy now — just as I was before Love Island.”

4. She Stays Humble

For Brown, humility is key. She tells Glamour that while she’s confident in herself, she still stays humble. “No one is a ten out of ten. Except maybe Beyoncé. Don’t go in there thinking you are the be all and end all."

While Brown made her debut on a dating show, she didn’t just go on there to find love. She tells Glamour that her friendships are just as important to her as her romantic relationships. "Friendships to me are just as important as relationships. I know it’s not a friendship show, it’s a love show. I’m nervous about how the girls will react.”

Leonie Hanne is living her best life in Thailand – in her swimsuit. In a new social media post, the German model flaunts her fantastic figure in a $750 Missoni bathing suit while enjoying a boating day in the tropics. “She dreamed of a tropical adventure 🦋,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. “Stunning,” commented one of her followers. ”So beautiful,” added another. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Coffee

Leonie enjoys the perks of caffeine. In one of her posts from Thailand, she drinks a cup of coffee at the poolside. According to the Cleveland Clinic, drinking coffee in moderation has several benefits. “It acts on your brain to improve memory, mood, reaction times, and mental function,” they say, citing a study finding that caffeine can improve endurance and performance during exercise. It is also antioxidant-rich, can ward off diabetes, prevent neurologic disease, lower cancer risk, and ward off depression, they point out.

Pilates

Leonie does Pilates at the super exclusive London studio Pilates in the Clouds. Why is Pilates a good workout? According to the Mayo Clinic, the workout has many benefits, as it “strengthens the body's inner core while increasing its flexibility, resulting in improved overall health.” It can also promote longer, leaner muscles, injury prevention, stress, and back pain relief, enhanced athletic performance, and heightened mind-body awareness.

At-Home Workouts

Leonie tries to get a workout in daily, preferably in the morning. I still try to get up early to maintain a sense of routine. I start every day with a quick at-home workout and a homemade acai bowl, before starting work on emails and content creation. I’ve been getting really into TikTok lately, it’s funny and keeps me feeling energised!” she told Arcadia.

Community

It takes a village, according to Leonie. “Community is key! The people you surround yourself with are more important than ever, as we are all trying to find ways to stay connected without being physically present. Speaking to people either on the phone or through social media can shift your mindset and motivation more than ever before,” she says.

Small, Healthy Habits

Leonie focuses on maintaining small, healthy habits. “Do something every day that brings you joy. Even if that means having something small to look forward to, like having your favourite snacks around the house or changing into an outfit that makes you feel good about yourself,” she says.

Sophie claims she hasn’t gone under the knife. “It’s your own body, you can do what you want to,” she told Grazia, weighing in on the show’s reputation for girls getting work done. “I wouldn’t have surgery myself; I don’t want it. I’ve got such a low pain tolerance as well; I’d be squirming around.”

She Gets Her Steps In

Stand Up Paddle Boarding

Sophie loves paddle boarding. The American Council on Exercise (ACE) agrees that paddle boarding is great for the core and cardio. Water sports can burn an average of 385 calories for a 140-pound male and 436 calories for a female of the same size, per a study conducted by Arizona State University.

She Skis

When Sophie hits the mountains, she throws on a pair of skis. “Ski club,” she captioned a photo. Research has linked downhill skiing to several health benefits. In addition to promoting physical fitness, it may decrease the risk of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. Studies have also found that the more frequently a person skis, the prevalence of known hypercholesterolemia, systemic hypertension, diabetes, the frequency of mental stress, and the occurrence of memory deficits decline.

She Loves Group Fitness

“You’ve got to be body confident,” Sophie told Grazia. One of her favorite sweat methods? Group fitness. “A few gym classes can’t hurt,” she said.

She Goes Snorkeling

On her recent Maldives vacation, Sophie and Josh snorkeled in the crystal clear water. Surprisingly, putting on a snorkel and fins and swimming through the water is a great workout. In addition to being a great aerobic exercise and burning calories, other health benefits may include improved cardiovascular function, stress reduction, mood enhancement, and muscular toning.

Tammy Hembrow is a fitness influencer and expert. She has her own app, called Tammy Fit. Hembrow has a lot of challenges on her app. Recently, she advertised a challenge with a workout video on Instagram. Hembrow captioned the post, “We are 3 days into our first @tammyfitapp challenge of the year & I am more motivated than everrrrr. (Sign ups are still open if you haven’t joined yet - there’s still time to catch up!! - link in bio). Soooo happy seeing so many of my girlies (and guys) in this challenge doing it with me!! And I CANNOT wait to see everyone’s results at the end of the 8 weeks. We got thissss 💪🏼”

She Does Pulldowns

Hembrow is seen doing pulldowns in her Instagram video. Piedmont reports that pulldowns have a lot of benefits. “The lat pulldown is a fantastic exercise for strengthening the latissimus dorsi muscle, the broadest muscle in your back. This muscle promotes good posture and spinal stability. Form is crucial when performing a lat pulldown to prevent injury and reap the best results.”

She Lifts Weights

Hembrow is seen doing a lot of exercises with weights in her Instagram video. ACE Fitness states that using weights to workout has a lot of benefits. “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 Tracks Her Meals

Hembrow likes to track her meals on her app. She talked about the benefits of this in the caption of this “What I Eat In A Day” Instagram video. “Make sure to take advantage of the calorie/macro tracking features in the @tammyfitapp during this challenge guys. It can be really helpful in reaching specific goals quicker. And it also can help educate you on your food choices when it comes to nutrition, ratios, hidden calories, overeating or under eating etc. honestly I’d recommend any beginner try it out just to get a good feel for how you’re fuelling your body!! I feel like when people think of ‘meal tracking’ it can be seen as something that seems restrictive or something only bodybuilders do. When in reality it can be such a helpful tool and you can learn things that will actually encourage long term habits 🫶🏼🫶🏼”

She Loves Bananas

The Cleveland Clinic states that bananas have a lot of benefits. “A single medium-sized banana offers about 32 mg of the mineral magnesium, which fulfills around 8% to 10% of your daily magnesium requirement. Magnesium is involved in many processes in your body, including: Blood pressure. Blood sugar levels. Building proteins. Maintaining bone. Muscle function. Nerve function.”

She Loves Cottage Cheese

UCLA Health reports, “Cottage cheese’s protein content and low calories make it an ideal food for weight management. Research shows that whether you are trying to lose weight or reduce your risk of overweight or obesity, eating a high-protein diet can help you feel full and satisfied for longer.”
