When Ariana lost 50 pounds in the time period from 2020 to 2021 she was accused of having an eating disorder. “I'm so over everyone acting like I lost 50 pounds overnight,” she explained in an Instagram Story shooting down the speculation, adding that she lost weight gradually. “I was 167 my sophomore year. 145ish my junior, started really working out, eating healthy etc. January of 2020. I am now 118 over a year and a half later. I was 125 last summer. Please stop. I do not have an eating disorder. I worked my ass off to get to where I am today. I am not sick. This is ridiculous and awful to say to someone,” she said.

2. She Works Out

Ariana is committed to fitness and attributes her weight loss to regular exercise. “I wish I could give y’all some insane secret to get skinny overnight but I cant,” she said. “That’s not what I did. I ran 3-5 miles a day with a waist trainer on in 90 degree weather. It was hell. I went to the gym, and worked out.”

3. She Is a Fan of Intermittent Fasting

Ariana maintains that one thing that helped her lose weight was not only focusing on what she ate, but when she ate it. She practices time restricted eating. “I did intermittent fasting,” she revealed.

4. She Ditched Three Things From Her Diet

Ariana also majorly rehauled her eating habits. “I ate healthy. I stopped snacking. I didn't drink soda anymore,” she said about the dietary changes she made to get into shape.

5. She Counts Calories

When it comes down to it, math matters in terms of Ariana’s diet. She maintains that paying attention to how many calories she was consuming and how many she was burning was a big game-changer. “I went into a caloric deficit,” she continued. “I counted my calories.” Bottom line: “It is a process. It takes time. But believe in yourself. Do it for you. You got this!” she said.

Read on to see 5 ways Ariana Biermann lost 50 pounds 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 Took Her Time

Ariana didn’t lose weight overnight. In fact, she maintains that her weight loss was a gradual process, dropping 50 pounds from 2020 to 2021. “I'm so over everyone acting like I lost 50 pounds overnight,” she explained in an Instagram Story shooting down speculation she suffered from an eating disorder. She explained that she weighed 167 pounds her sophomore year of college, dropping down to 145 by her junior year because she “started really working out, eating healthy etc.” She dropped down to 118 after a year-and-a-half of healthy lifestyle choices. “I do not have an eating disorder. I worked my ass off to get to where I am today. I am not sick. This is ridiculous and awful to say to someone,” she said.

2. She Started Running and Exercising

Ariana attributes her fit figure to regular exercise. “I wish I could give y’all some insane secret to get skinny overnight but I cant,” she said. “That’s not what I did. I ran 3-5 miles a day with a waist trainer on in 90 degree weather. It was hell. I went to the gym, and worked out.”

3. She Does Intermittent Fasting

Ariana swears by time restricted eating. “I did intermittent fasting,” she revealed in the same post. “Intermittent fasting means that you don't eat for a period of time each day or week,” says the Mayo Clinic. Because most people minimize caloric intake while fasting, they lose weight. “Losing weight and being physically active help lower your risk of obesity-related diseases, such as diabetes, sleep apnea and some types of cancer. For these diseases, intermittent fasting seems to be about as beneficial as any other type of diet that reduces overall calories,” they add.

4. She Majorly Revamped Her Eating Habits

Ariana also altered her eating habits, opting for a cleaner, more wholesome diet. “I ate healthy. I stopped snacking. I didn't drink soda anymore,” she said. However, you will find her indulging in some of her favorite foods on occasion, including pasta. She captioned a recent photo of her cheat meal, “trynna find someone who makes me smile the way my pasta does :)”

5. She Counted Calories

If you want to lose weight, it all boils down to burning more calories than you are consuming. “I went into a caloric deficit. I counted my calories,” Ariana maintains. “There's no easy way to lose weight. The foundation for weight loss continues to be based on physical activity and diet. Take in fewer calories than you burn, and you lose weight,” agrees the Mayo Clinic. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends cutting calories by 500 to 700 calories a day to lose 1 to 1.5 pounds (0.5 to 0.7 kilograms) a week. “If you can add some physical activity to your day, you'll accomplish your weight-loss goals even faster,” they say. Bottom line: “It is a process. It takes time. But believe in yourself. Do it for you,” she said.

“Today feels like sunshine and rainbows and all the most beautiful colors. I feel so happy and hopeful. Crazy to think just 2 days ago I was scared and hurting because i was feeling the darkest i’ve felt mentally in a long time. In that moment I didn’t think i’d feel this good again. This is your sign to keep going because tomorrow could be the most beautiful, bright day. The world NEEDS you around 💕🌻🌱✨☀️♥️ I LOVE YOU!” she wrote once.

2. She Says We Should Celebrate Ourselves

Sailor appeared on Good Morning America in a segment that focused on an eating disorder. “I’m a little upset about the GMA piece that aired this morning,” she wrote in an Instagram Story in responce. “I have nothing but respect for GMA and Deborah [Roberts], and have nothing negative to say about either one.” However: “I understand that ‘comparisons to model mom’ and ‘eating disorder struggles’ are great taglines for click bait on news outlets. But when I agreed to do this interview I was under the impression that it would be in a positive light and would be inspirational,” she wrote. “I ONLY agreed to do it during this awful time in America because I thought it would be a small beacon of positivity for people who have dealt with the same things as me.” She added: “I did NOT want to throw a pity party for myself. I did NOT want the interview to be highlighting the dark times. 95% of what I said during the interview got cut. Including thank you to health care workers & essential workers, as well as acknowledging how awful and heartbreaking this time is for so many.” She concluded: “We have to collectively learn to praise and CELEBRATE ourselves more often, because life passes by so quickly and it’s a shame to spend so much of it worrying that you aren’t good enough,” she wrote. “Because as long as you’re here on Earth and you have a body to love and voice to be heard YOU ARE GOOD ENOUGH and you deserve happiness.”

3. She Says You are an Important Part of the Universe

“This is me, feeling down. But the sun shone right into my window and some birds flew right next to my car, at the same moment. They were my reminders today that it’s all alright. And to anyone who’s going through it right now. Heres your reminder. You are an important part of this universe and i love you,” she captioned the post.

4. She Says This About Body Image

“I've had issues with my body image since before I can even remember. I grew up not loving how I looked and felt held back because of it. I don't know why I always felt that way, sure I had baby fat and definitely went through a plethora of awkward phases, but I had a family that loved me i had friends who made me laugh etc. But for some reason I still looked in the mirror and always somehow found something to pick on. I went from being ‘too fat’ to ‘too thin’ to ‘too muscular’ and I never felt satisfied. My body and I have been through it all. But recently I have been liberated. I am healthy, i treat myself well, and for that i'm happy. I've looked in the mirror and been able to LOVE the things about my body that beauty norms deem 'undesirable'. I now have grown to know that my body is worthy of so many great things. I don't need to be a size 0 to believe in myself. My body carries me each and every day, it loves the people i love, it holds what makes me healthy and strong, it bends it shakes it runs and it CHANGES. That is okay and that is beautiful,” she once wrote.

5. She Has This Message for Her 15-Year-Old Self

“I am so proud of you. I am so proud of you for that day you finally stopped counting the calories in your meals. And for eating that first bowl of your fear food. I am so proud of you for throwing away that measuring tape. I am so proud of you for being brave enough to go out to eat with your friends that one night in 11th grade. And for ordering something off your meal plan. Your bravery that night changed everything. I am so proud of you for starting to go to the gym to feel good, and not to set a calorie burn goal. I am so proud of you for deciding you’ll never take a body checking video again. And for sticking to that. I am so proud of you for looking in the mirror and relearning how you deserve to feel about your self. I am so proud of you for pushing yourself through the thoughts in your mind every single day and for choosing to be free. I am so proud of you. Because even in the harder moments. Even when your mind tricked you back into it, you kept pushing on in the fight. You were consistent and it wasn’t easy. You had everything going against you but you did it. And I have your bravery to thank for the absolute joy my life has been filled with since. For anyone fighting an eating disorder or for anyone who’s put their life on pause because you don’t think you deserve happiness because of the way you look. You can do it. I know you can do it because I did it. You deserve the life you dream about. And you deserve it today,” she once wrote.
