1. She Eats Several Times a Day
"I eat every three to four hours," Chelsea revealed to Women’s Health. "I always make sure I have something every three to four hours because a nutritionist once taught me it's the best way to control your blood sugar levels."
2. She Pays Attention to When She Is Full

Chelsea makes sure to pay attention to her body when it comes to hunger. "I think when you consistently feed your body, you have less of an inclination to [pig out]," she told Women’s Health. "I like to eat light and I don't overdo it now. When I'm eating, I take my time and pay attention to when I'm full."
3. She Does Intermittent Fasting

Chelsea puts off eating until later in the day. "I usually have fresh celery juice first thing in the morning and don't eat anything for a few hours,” she told Women’s Health about her informal method of intermittent fasting. "I try and go for as long as I can without eating in the morning," she explains. Once a week, she even waits until 3 or 4 p.m for her first meal.
4. She Hydrates

Chelsea is all about hydration, infusing her water with flavor. "I have water in my fridge that has lemon, lime, and cucumber," she says. "I'm not a fan of water, so in order to drink it I have to doctor it up. I have to add stuff to make it palatable and it has to be ice-cold; everything I drink has to be ice-cold."
5. She Says She Has Cut Down on Drinking

While she appears to be drinking vodka in her latest photo, Handler recently told Health that she has dramatically cut down on drinking. “I used to drink all the time,” she confessed. “I thought I could handle my alcohol, but I didn’t realize how much your body and your life changes when it’s not in your life every day. Now I’m not giving up drinking...I would never do that to people—or to alcohol. But it’s nice to wake up with clarity and to take a break from the bloat. I didn’t think I was bloated until I didn’t drink for a few weeks. Then I was like, ‘Whoa, look at my cheekbones and my abs.’”
6. She Regularly Works Out with a Trainer
Handler trains with Ben Bruno, “pretty much every day,” she told Health. “I just like to feel strong, and now it’s part of my mental strength.” While she likes to work out with her boyfriend, she isn’t a fan of group fitness. “I can’t work out in a class. For some reason I can’t,” she told People. “And this probably sounds surprising, but I don’t think I’m competitive enough. I just want to give up and be like, I can’t I can’t do it. There’s a pace I don’t like.”
7. She Enjoys Outdoor Activities
Handler is a fan of outdoor activities, including skiing and other “extreme sports,” she told People. “When I do outdoor stuff, like wakeboarding or paddleboarding, I’m good,” she said.
