Rose is incredibly focused while at the gym, and posted a video of herself doing cardio and strength training to show what her routine looks like. "❗️Turn your pain into power❗️@grapefitt getting me get back ontop 📍 @hustlefitstudio #fitness #workout #thecomeback #workout #hustle."

Rose lost weight after leaving Below Deck by watching her portions and focusing on a healthy lifestyle. "Since I went on @belowdecksailing I've gotten a lot healthier, I've actually lost a wild 9kgs (almost 20 pounds)," she says. "Not through some drastic diet or anything, just watching my portions and what I eat, working out, partying less (thanks to lockdown)." Portion control has been shown to be effective for healthy weight loss—but it's not always easy. "Large portions make you eat more. If I could teach just one thing about nutrition, it would be this: Larger portions have more calories. Funny? Portion size is anything but obvious," says Marion Nestle, Paulette Goddard professor of Nutrition, Food Studies, and Public Health at NYU. "Research repeatedly confirms that larger food servings not only provide more calories but also have two other effects. They encourage people to eat more and to underestimate how much they are eating. How to deal with the portion size problem? Use small plates and cups in the dining hall. When eating out, order appetizers, not entrees. Order the small size, or share large portions with friends."

Rose works hard and is disciplined about her fitness—but still allows herself treats and cheat meals. "This is the happiest and healthiest I've felt in a long time- I still eat a lot of Nandos, always order dessert, and I can't run a 5km (yet) but I've still come a long way, so yeah," Rose says. "Having a regularly scheduled cheat day each week can actually be good for weight loss by preventing binges, reducing cravings, providing a mental break from dieting, and boosting metabolism—if it's done in a healthy way," says Carolyn Williams, PhD, RD. "By healthy way, I mean using it as a day when you give yourself a break from measuring every portion and counting calories and allowing yourself a little leeway to enjoy a favorite food or two. You still consume plenty of water, and try to get fruits and vegetables in, but in a more relaxed way. What's not considered healthy (or good for weight loss) is to use a cheat day as a time when you go to extremes with eating or binges."

Rose is open about using Botox to keep wrinkles at bay. "Remember when Botox was a taboo subject? Now when someone mentions it, nobody raises an eyebrow 😉 Dr Dominique at @skinrenewalcapequarter doing what she does best ❤️🙏 #itstime #preventativecare #selfcare #botox #skinrenewalsa #skinrenewalcapequarter," she captioned a video of herself getting Botox injected above her eyebrows. 

Rose says Kayaking is "One of the best ways to clear your head (especially if you fall in the freezing Cape Town water)." "For people who just run and cycle, they tend to not have a lot of muscle mass in the upper body," says Dr. François Billaut, an exercise physiology professor at Laval University in Quebec and the former head physiologist for the Canadian national kayaking team. "Kayaking offers a balance." 

Rose is a big fan of delicious gelato. "When buying single-serve frozen treats, choose one with no more than 150 calories per serving, then stick to one serving," says Anna Taylor, MS, RD, LD, CDE. "If you're comparing items pick the one lowest in saturated fat and sugar."
