1. She Doesn’t Eat Animal Products

In 2013 Ariana saw the documentary Forks Over Knives and decided to go vegan. "I've eaten organically since I was little and always kept meat minimal but today marks my first day as a 100% Vegan!!!! Joyous day," she tweeted. "I love animals more than I love most people, not kidding," she explained to The Mirror. "But I am a firm believer in eating a full plant-based, whole-food diet that can expand your life length and make you an all-round happier person. It is tricky dining out, but I just stick to what I know–veggies, fruit, and salad–then, when I get home, I’ll have something else."

Ariana is Italian, but doesn’t eat the food because she is vegan, she explained to The Mirror. Per her trainer Harley Pasternak she is a huge fan of Japanese. "She loves daikon, lotus, adzuki beans—almost like a macrobiotic Japanese [diet]," he told Glamour in 2015. She also loves fruit. "I've had at least five strawberries a day since I can remember. They're my favorite food!" she revealed in one tweet. Other go-to snacks include almonds and cashews. "They make great healthy snacks to keep me energized throughout my day!" she told Shape. She also loves coconut water for hydration. “I always have a bottle next to me.”

3. She Tracks Activity

Step counting is also a part of her health plan, per Pasternak. "I give [Ariana] a step goal every day, whether she'll be dancing to get that step goal or watching her favorite movies while walking down the treadmill really slowly," he explained to Popsugar. "Twelve-thousand steps a day and she hits it. I can't imagine her being still."

4. She Stays Away From Junk Food

Ariana attributed her weight loss to ditching junk food. "The reason why I lost so much weight as I did is because I used to live on junk food," she wrote in a Tumblr post (per E! Online). "So I drastically changed my eating habits, started exercising daily, and I'm all around a healthier me."

5. She Does Pilates

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.

Ariana Madix first came into prominence in 2013, when she joined the cast of the Bravo series, Vanderpump Rules. She quickly was seen as a fan-favorite on the show, and after her long-time boyfriend and fellow cast member, Tom Sandoval, cheated on her with another cast member, she became even more beloved. Madix has released her own cocktail book, Fancy AF, appeared in several commercials and placed third on the most recent season of Dancing With The Stars. Madix is currently starring as Roxie Hart in Chicago. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Ariana Madix stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. She Dances

Madix is an avid dancer. Harvard Health states that dancing has a lot of benefits. “The evidence for the health benefits of exercise is indisputable. Physiologic studies have demonstrated that regular activity builds muscle and bone, reduces fat, increases aerobic capacity, lowers blood pressure, and improves the ratio of ‘good’ to ‘bad’ cholesterol. Dance has been shown to have all the benefits of other forms of exercise. Moreover, by incorporating music, dance may have benefits beyond those of exercise alone. Music stimulates the brain's reward centers, while dance activates its sensory and motor circuits. Dancing has improved balance, gait, and quality of life in people with Parkinson's disease and related movement disorders. And several — but not all — studies have indicated that mastering dance movements and patterns yields greater improvements in memory and problem-solving than walking does.”

2. She Wears Sunscreen

Madix has amazing skin and makes sure to take care of it. She shared her secrets with Byrdie. “I never, ever skip my SPF. My bestie taught me the best combo: EltaMD regular and tinted mixed together for the perfect protection and skin tint. My biggest mistake was getting in tanning beds and rebuking SPF. I always tan and never burn so I thought I was somehow immune to the damage the sun can cause. I was very wrong and dealt with melanoma in 2018. Now you’ll never catch me without UV protection!”

3. She’s Consistent With Skincare

When it comes to skincare, Madix makes sure to take care of it consistently. She explained to Byrdie, “Consistency is key! Even if I don’t have time to do an entire routine, if I’m consistently cleansing my face and applying something to seal in moisture, I’ll wake up feeling so much better. If I do a full routine once a week or once a month, it won’t have the same effect.”

4. She Stays Hydrated On Flights

Madix is all about hydration, especially when she’s taking a flight. She shared her secrets for staying hydrated on flights to Byrdie. “I never fly without eye patches. Right now, I’m loving the Nip + Fab Hyaluronic Fix Extreme Jelly Eye Patches ($20). I put them on when we start our descent; it helps to look less dehydrated after flying. It’s not a product, but I buy the biggest bottle of water I can find in the terminal and make myself chug it.”

5. She Wants To Be A Role Model

Madix is open about her struggles with body image, an eating disorder, and mental health. She talked about this in an essay with SELF. “I am putting myself out there being on reality TV, but it’s really tough to be judged. Part of me feels like there are so many people who are just like me, and if I go away or if I’m not around or if it gets to be too much for me, then they won’t see anybody they can relate to. I definitely feel less alone because of everything I’ve been through on TV and through telling my story. I meet people all the time who have gone through similar things, and I think that’s a really big blessing that’s come from this experience: They, in turn, make me feel not alone.”
