Charlotte revealed to People that she starts the day by sipping on a cup of hot water with lemon.

Plus it can improve skin and boost the immune system," dietician Keri Glassman told the magazine.

Charlotte is all about the occasional cheat meal. "I work out really hard and I stay on my diet all week. But on a Sunday, you know, maybe a little hungover, you have to reward yourself here and there, so I do," she told People.

Charlotte also spends a good amount of time exercising. "I'm all about lengthening and toning. I don't do heavy weights. I don't really do anything too intense. It's more cardio and stretching and yoga and keeping long, lean muscles as opposed to doing a bunch of reps with weights,"  she told HollywoodLife. "I usually [work out] six days a week [but] it's more of a mental thing. Mentally, I feel so much better after I workout. I would say an hour a day, sometimes two hours. It just depends, but I've learned to not be so hard on myself."

She Eats Seasonally

Charlotte eats seasonally. "I say anyone can lose weight if you eat what's in season, local, fresh, and not in bags, you're good. All that other stuff, it's a trend. Trust me. I've fallen into all the juice cleanses and the things, but you end up just crashing so I've learned to eat what works for my body," she told HollywoodLife. The foods that work for her body? "Lots of fish, vegetables, fruits and protein."
