Charlotte revealed to People that she starts the day by sipping on a cup of hot water with lemon. “Warm lemon water is a great way to start her day—nutrients from the lemon can give the GI tract the push it needs to get moving. Plus it can improve skin and boost the immune system,” dietician Keri Glassman told the magazine.

2. She Eats Clean

Charlotte maintains a clean diet. She starts her morning with a banana with a few tablespoons of almond butter. For lunch she eats a quinoa burger with hummus and kale salad, followed by a juice with beets, ginger, lemon, and apple. For dinner she has grilled shrimp and grilled veggies. For dessert? Blueberries and a glass of rosé.

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.

4. She Does Lengthening and Toning Exercises

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.”

5. 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.”
