1. She Promotes Body Confidence
Bebe has struggled with self-love in the past and has become a self-love advocate "I wanted to show you what I really look like. Yes I got thighs. Yes I got ass. But here's what I f---ing look like in my bathing suit. Here's my body. No filters, okay? I got ass, I got thighs, okay,” she said in a recent Instagram story. "It's just really hard because I find it hard to love myself sometimes and like when you see yourself looking like s---, it's like, yes I got stretch marks. Let me show you. I got stretch marks. I got cellulite, all of the above."
2. Her Diet Is Healthy

Bebe tries to eat healthy. "When I have a bad week of eating, I feel so nasty — like when I eat tons of chips or croissants and whatever," she told People. She also promotes hydration. "When I eat healthier and I drink more water and then I do even a little exercising or just try to live a little bit more actively, I feel so much better: I feel so much healthier, I feel so much sexier, and it's for myself. So I feel like that's a really important thing for me, to stay active and eat well." She also likes to cook her own meals. “I absolutely love hosting dinner parties for my friends,” she told Us. “I enjoy cooking Italian dishes. Penne alla vodka is my [specialty]!” Another one of her got-to dishes? “I love baking banana bread.”
3. She Likes to Box

Bebe also exercises to stay in shape. One of her favorite workouts involves packing a punch. “I love boxing and have started training a lot during the pandemic,” she told Us.
4. She Doesn’t Believe in Deprivation

“I don’t deprive myself. I just don’t think that’s fun,” Bebe told Health. Instead, she has a moderate approach to diet. “I can be very clean. When I try to be healthier, it’s no bread; no cheese or dairy, except in coffee; no sauces. My ultimate lunch: I’ll order a salad with chicken and no croutons and a side of sweet potato fries. That’s my balance. People are like, ‘Pizza’s bad.’ Pizza’s not bad if you have one slice with a healthy salad on the side! Or people will tell you, ‘You can’t eat bananas or grapes or watermelon—it’s way too much sugar!’ Stop right now. Seriously, just stop.”
5. She Mixes Up Exercise
Bebe likes keeping exercise interesting. “I work out with my trainer Jeanette [Jenkins]; we change it up,” She told Health. “One day we’ll do yoga; one day we’ll do Pilates. We can run one day or box, which is my favorite. When I go to different places, I’ll try to run or go to the gym—or I’ll take cycling classes or boxing classes wherever I am. And I deal with my anxiety by working out. I can get out my aggression or anything I’m feeling I just want to get rid of. I also see my therapist. It’s very helpful to talk to somebody.”
