When it comes to working out, Frankel says that she doesn’t believe in doing intense sessions at the gym. She says in her Instagram post that these types of workouts aren’t helpful, don’t encourage her to stick with it, and can create unhealthy eating habits. “I don’t believe in fear based, torturous, aggressive exercise. Life is too short and stressful to dread doing something for an hour. In addition, extreme exercise creates extreme hunger."

3. She Has A Good Relationship With Food

Frankel has a culinary background, and has a lot of knowledge about nutrition. She says that this has led to having a good relationship with food, and allows her to not overthink it. "I love food and eat whatever I want but I NEVER binge," she wrote on her Instagram post. "I don’t beat myself up about what I’ve eaten or praise myself about what I haven’t. Food isn’t your best friend or your enemy. It’s just food. I have a good relationship with it.”

4. She Doesn’t Diet

Frankel says that she doesn’t like to jump on the newest fad diet or eating craze. She says that she focuses on eating well, and eating what she wants. ​​"I'm old enough to know that fat-free was a craze, low-carb, eat your weight in meat and cheese was a phase, keto is a fad, the Zone was a moment, and so on," she says to Good Housekeeping. "So yes, I eat carbs. I eat everything, but I don't binge."

5. She Eats Something Different Each Day

Frankel tells Good Housekeeping that her diet is all about variety. "What I eat has no consistency," she says. "Today, it was an egg white vegetable omelet with a baked potato and a few french fries for lunch. Sometimes, it's arugula with tomato, avocado, and Parmesan. Pureed soups are a mainstay for me." Eggs are a good call. "Looking at the nutritional breakdown, one egg contains roughly 75 calories, 5 grams of fat, 6 grams of protein, 0 carbohydrates, 67 milligrams of potassium, 70 grams of sodium and 210 milligrams of cholesterol. Eggs are also a great source of vitamins A, D and B12, as well as choline, which is a nutrient that's essential in many steps of metabolism. Except for its cholesterol content, one egg is a healthy option for breakfast lunch or dinner," says the Mayo Clinic.

Bethenny Frankel is recharging in Puerto Rico in her swimsuit. The Real Housewives alum shows off her forever young figure in a collection of bathing suits in her latest social media photos, taken while vacationing in the tropics. “Day 2 Vacation in Puerto Rico, this beautiful island… love is in the air,” she captioned one of the Instagram posts. “We move so quickly. We were craving a vacation… coming into this one on fumes. Work, obligations and life gets in the way. It’s important to disconnect, be present and connect with your loved ones. Time flies and you realize you haven’t been traveling nearly as much as you used to. You get used to being home near the nest, living in sweats and a big adventure out is a 12 year old’s basketball game or sledding. It was time to have a reason to put on something colorful and feel warm and free. I love Puerto Rico. Most of my time spent here has been doing relief trips, and it’s really nice to see this place in its rebuilding state. It’s a beautiful place with beautiful people, and we are so lucky to be able to experience its love and beauty,” she wrote in another. How does she stay so fit?
