She Doesn't Diet

In a recent TikTok video Bethenny revealed that during her 30s she was 20 pounds heavier and "always on a diet." Now, she avoids them at all costs. "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.

She Also Never Binges

"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."

Bethenny eats two meals a day. "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."

She Doesn't Exercise

Bethenny avoids the gym. "My philosophy on eating and exercise is to do what you can when you can," she explained 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." In her recent TikTok she added: "So I don't exercise. I do what I can when I can. "I'll snowboard if I can, I'll surf if I can, I walk on the beach whenever I can."

She Is All About Self-Care

Bethenny focuses on finding restorative activities. "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.

She Prioritizes Sleep
