1. She Doesn’t Drink Her Calories

Bella only fuels herself with nutritious drinks. “I order a lot of green juices and keep them around on set. I have ginger shots in a cooler, and I’ll drink one if I’m feeling low,” she told Harper’s Bazaar. “I’m also a big coffee drinker. I’ll have three espressos before noon.”

Whenever possible, Bella fuels up on breakfast. “If I have the morning off, I’ll either make eggs and sausage, and eat breakfast at home, or go to the bagel store below my apartment. ... My go-to is an egg sandwich on a plain bagel,” she told Harper’s Bazaar.

3. She Eats When Her Body Needs It

Bella listens to her body’s hunger pangs, revealing that she has "really low blood sugar" so she needs to "eat all the time" to maintain energy. "I like having a good protein meal because I get really tired if I eat too much, so I try to fill myself up with things that will make me feel good," she told Harper’s Bazaar. She also fuels up before a workout. "I count on a smoothie, a juice or a protein drink 30 minutes before the session," she added to Vogue Paris. "After the session I eat something full of protein like chicken and wholegrain rice. It's ideal to strengthen the muscle mass and to increase the effects of the session."

4. Her Workouts Are Long and Hard

Bella works out long and hard. She told E! News that they can last up to a whopping two hours. “I train and I work out hard for two hours — I don’t like to do the whole yoga thing. I think yoga is calming, it’s amazing, but if I’m going to go for it, I’m going to go hard,” she said. "Put in 100% from the start to the end of a workout. There is nothing better than to push yourself to the limit, while making the most of it. Going to the gym for two hours with only 50% motivation is the best way of erasing the feeling of accomplishment and well-being that boosts self-confidence that you get from a workout," she added to Vogue France.

5. She Trains At the Dogpound

Bella is one of the many stars you will find pumping iron and doing HIIT workouts at bicoastal gym The Dogpound, like Vanessa Hudgens. She also trains at Gotham gym in New York City.

6. She Boxes

Bellla also stays in fighting form with the help of boxing. "I train with my coach for intensive sessions. I run non-stop for 20 minutes followed by a boxing session and finally a series of weights targeting the abs and glutes," she told Vogue France.

7. She Is Authentic

In a recent interview with Vogue, Bella revealed that in order to maintain her mental health, she prioritizes authenticity. “It’s like there were two Bellas—me, this person in the process of figuring out who she was, and ‘Bella Hadid’ the alter ego, who was, I dunno, a sexbot who goes out every night?” she said. “I have insane social anxiety! Partying is not my thing, but I felt enormous pressure to project that image because I assumed that’s all people wanted from me. Now I don’t want to live in that box. I definitely feel like I’m allowed to speak.”

Supermodel Bella Hadid was born from good stock—her mom is a former model and her siblings are models—but that doesn’t mean she was born healthy. She has to work for it. The payoff is clear in her recent Instagram photo, in which, hair braided under a bandana, she poses in a bikini and a sarong, sitting on some stony steps.

Hadid Instagrammed a photo of the inside of her fridge a few years back. "If anyone wants me to shop and organize their refrigerators I work mornings," the supermodel captioned the photo. Inside was the inspiration for your next grocery shopping list: Justin’s almond butter, 365 cashew butter, Siggi’s yogurts, Stumptown coffee, BluePrint juices, Harmless coconut water, kombucha, raspberries and other berries, celery sticks, carrots and hummus.

Hadad has worked with nutritionist Charles Passler on her meal planning. Regarding his work with celebrities, “my goal is to help them be able to maintain that actual body composition 365 days a year so that they’re not scrambling at the 11th hour to be sure that they are going to fit into a dress or fit into a bikini,” Passler told People. For Hadid: “It’s adequate protein, adequate fat, and lots and lots and lots of nonstarchy vegetables,” said Passler. “That is typically the most bulletproof, easiest, soundproof way to make sure that somebody stays on track.”

3. She Eats an Early Dinner

Whether it’s because she had early family dinners or for health reasons, Hadid doesn’t like a big late night meal. “All of my friends are like, ‘What do you mean, 7? Let’s go at 10.’ Ten is my bedtime,” she told Harper’s. "The goal is to finish eating dinner, and any dessert, at least 2-3 hours before bed," Sydney Greene, MS, RD, from Greene Health tells Eat This, Not That!. "For most [people], with hectic workdays, this is not entirely realistic so set a non-negotiable 1 hour before bed that is food-free. Research shows that those who go 2-3 hours without eating before bed have a decreased cancer risk, insulin resistance, and inflammation."

4. She Goes Hard During Workouts

“I train and I work out hard for two hours — I don’t like to do the whole yoga thing. I think yoga is calming, it’s amazing, but if I’m going to go for it, I’m going to go hard,” Hadid said in an E! News interview. "For decades, competitive athletes have added brief bouts of strenuous exercise to their workouts to boost their performance. Known as interval training, this practice is now moving into the mainstream, bolstered by emerging evidence of its health benefits for all sorts of people, including those with heart disease," reports Harvard Health.

5. Here’s a Sample Workout She Has Done

What's your daily workout? "When time is on my side, I train with my coach for intensive sessions. I run non-stop for 20 minutes followed by a boxing session and finally a series of weights targeting the abs and glutes. We keep the routines varied, so the sessions are always fun," she told Vogue France. To sculpt her curves: "Definitely boxing. But also Body Ballet, I've only tried it out once but I can see the long term results amongst my friends." For washboard abs: "Nothing other than boxing and a series of targeted ab workouts."

Bella Hadid has the coolest friends, and perhaps the coolest is Alana O’Herlihy (@lilmami_lani), the multimedia artist. “Happy Bornday to the girl that makes the world go round,” Hadid captioned photos of the two of them; she also included one of the two on the beach.

I’ve been eating hard protein every day, and working out for three hours every day. It’s crazy but I think that you know if you set your mind to something I think you can succeed.”
