Read on to see 5 more ways Bethenny Frankel stays in shape and the photos that prove they work—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bikini Photos!

1. She Doesn’t Do Diet Trends

When it comes to diet, Bethenny refuses to be on-trend. “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. She Sticks to Two Healthy Meals Per Day

While she does enjoy snacking, she makes sure to get in two healthy meals per 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."

3. She Has a Relaxed Approach to Fitness

Bethenny doesn’t stress about exercise. "My philosophy on eating and exercise is to do what you can when you can," she 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. She Prioritizes Sleep

In the same Instagram post, Bethenny revealed that she prioritizes two things. "I choose time with my daughter and sleep first,” she revealed. "Sleep deprivation can have a significant impact on both your mind and body. In addition to perpetuating serious health conditions, lack of sleep can negatively affect your mood and temperament, as well as your ability to focus on daily tasks. Plus, lack of sleep influences what and how much you eat. Since hormones are regulated during sleep, when you are sleep deprived, your hunger hormones become out of whack, which increases feelings of hunger and decreases satiety. It's not a coincidence that you find yourself reaching for bagels and muffins when you're exhausted," reports the Mayo Clinic.

5. She Doesn’t Binge

Bethenny revealed in the same Instagram post that she eats what she wants in moderation. “I love food and eat whatever I want but I NEVER binge. 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.”

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?
