1. Work Out Daily

In a recent interview with Harper’s Bazaar’s Food Diaries, Ayesha revealed that she makes fitness a daily habit for both mental and physical health. “Fitness wasn’t really a part of my lifestyle and I’d say the past year and a half—post having all of my kids—it’s really become a staple for me and it helps me have mental clarity. I feel like I’m in the best shape of my life,” she said. “I find that I’m happier when I work out. And so I do try to work out at least five days a week.”

2. Follow the 80/20 Diet

Ayesha eats healthy…most of the time. "These past two years, since I turned 30, I've started to consider how food can really make a difference in the way that I feel and look," she dished to Women's Health. "My career is in food and I'm a firm believer in eating what you love. I'm not a dieter. For me, it was really about learning how to exercise portion control and living that 80/20 life."

3. Use an Activity Tracker

Ayesha tracks her steps with the help of a Fitbit Versa 2, which she claims was instrumental in helping her lose 35 pounds. "My Fitbit truly helped me figure out my health and wellness and navigate through this journey."

4. Drink Hot Water with Lemon

5. Infuses Fat Into Your Coffee

Ayesha doesn’t just get a jolt of caffeine with her daily java. "I do a version of a bulletproof coffee with a little bit of ghee and a little bit of MCT oil," she added to Women’s Health.

6. Mix Up Workouts

Ayesha is a fan of maintaining variety with her workouts. "I have to keep my workouts exciting and fresh and different," she told Women’s Health. "Sometimes it's biking or high-intensity interval training, others it's a jump rope workout or a workout on the Fitbit app."

7. Drink Instead of Snacks

Ayesha tries to drink a lot of fluids during the day instead of snacking. "I usually sip on water or herbal tea until dinnertime," she told Women’s Health. "I'm an herbal tea girl. I love anything with lavender and chamomile."

8. Allow Yourself a Cheat Day

Ayesha cooks a feast once a week and indulges. "I always have a day a week where I'm in the kitchen and just preparing something new and fun and indulgent," she told Women’s Health. "It really works for me; I always have that day to look forward to. It's the best day ever every single week."
