1. Avoid Trendy Diets

Bethenny suggests staying away from diets, especially the trendy ones, and focusing on lifestyle instead. “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 .... so yes, I eat carbs. I eat everything, but I don’t binge," she told Good Housekeeping.

2. Eat Healthy

Bethenny eats healthy, but maintains variety. "What I eat has no consistency," she told Good Housekeeping. "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."

3. Don’t Over Exercise

"My philosophy on eating and exercise is to do what you can when you can," Bethenny wrote in a 2019 Instagram post. “If I’m near a beach, I take an hour walk. If I have the time, I’ll do a yoga DVD. 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."

4. Prioritize Sleep

Bethenny is all about taking care of herself, by sleeping a lot and putting family ahead of everything. “I choose time with my daughter and sleep first,” she wrote in the same Instagram post.

5. Avoid Binge Eating

Bethenny doesn’t deprive herself, but she doesn’t overdo it either. “I love food and eat whatever I want but I NEVER binge,” she revealed in the 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.”

6. Prioritize Self-Care

Bethenny is all about self-care. “People always ask me if I ever relax….I’m very insular & I love to hit pause & heal. Beach walks, swimming, sleep & selfcare are my therapy,” she wrote on Instagram recently.
