In a tweet, Doja told her followers some of her go-to healthy foods. The rapper makes sure to eat a lot of protein and veggies. She wrote, “I eat two eggs and spinach tortilla w caramelized onions pepper jack cheese and hot sauce and roll it up. I also eat a lot of seaweed.” “Largely because of their satiating power, eggs have been linked with fat loss. An International Journal of Obesity study on this produced some remarkable results: Over an eight-week period, people ate a breakfast of either two eggs or a bagel, which contained the same amount of calories. The egg group lost 65% more body weight, 16% more body fat, experienced a 61% greater reduction in BMI, and saw a 34% greater reduction in waist circumference!” says our sister site Eat This, Not That!

2. She’s A Dancer

One look at Doja’s live performances and videos and you’ll know that she’s an impressive dancer. And she’s been dancing since she was young. “I was taking ballet, tap and jazz,” she said to Dazed. “After moving from Oak Park around the age of eleven-and-a-half, I started to take up break dancing. I danced in a crew and competed around Los Angeles in organized underground cypher/battles.”

3. She Keeps Her Hair Short

Doja tells Byrdie that she prefers to keep her hair short, since she thinks it’s easier to take care of. “I don’t like to have 50 inches of hair, to be honest with you. I don’t know how to sleep with it...you have to roll it up and put it away and I don’t feel like doing that. So really short, above the neck hair—it’s really easy to maintain.”

4. She Has Had Struggles With Body Dysmorphia

“Growing up, I definitely had body dysmorphia. Without a doubt. And I’ve had it since,” Doja told ME Cosmo in their Winter Issue cover story. “It started in my teens, which I think is where it starts for a lot of people. I started really growing and I never really thought I looked good in a lot of the stuff I wore.” She added: “I feel like that song [Juicy] was therapeutic for me. I kind of made it for myself – well, the meaning behind it, at least. I was kind of doing it for my own happiness and I feel like other people can definitely pull some joy from that, too. Now, I just try to focus on eating well, but I definitely still struggle with body dysmorphia a bit now. But I think that’s to be completely expected when there’s all these phones in your face, right?”

5. She Just Wants to Make Music

“I mean [I want to] make music like willy nilly, like just have fun and just jam and make some,” stuff,” she said on a recent Instagram Live. “I haven’t done that in maybe five years, feels like,” she said. “I’m doing all this” stuff “that I don’t…wanna do. I don’t wanna take…pictures. Like, yes…planning a photoshoot is very fun. Capturing a concept, capturing a visual idea, like something like that, I love fashion, I do. I really do. I love to dress up, I love all that” stuff. “Do I wanna do that” stuff “because I have to? No! No, I don’t. But I feel pressured to do” stuff “like that. “I don’t…wanna do that. I wanna be home. … I wanna make music, I wanna play…video games.”

1. She’s Comfortable With Herself

Doja is comfortable with her body, and she doesn’t care what anyone has to say about it. She told VLAD TV, “I don't think I would ever want bigger boobs than I have now either. What's so funny is my boobs look big sometimes. And then I'll be called flat chested, like the next day. Like there's people who think I'm flat chested. I don't know. I'm whatever. I don't care.

2. She Cleanses Her Skin

Doja revealed some of her favorite skincare products to Bustle. She revealed that her favorite cleansing products is the Camellia Cleansing Oil from Tatcha. “If I could pick only one thing, it would be this cleansing oil. It gets rid of makeup like no other.

To help with acne, Doja makes sure to exfoliate her skin. However, she chooses a product that doesn’t damage her skin as well. She tells Bustle that her favorite exfoliating product is Tatcha’s Rice Polish. “You could use anything and have this as your exfoliator. It's super gentle; it's not tearing your face up like a lot of these exfoliators do. It's very, very effective. I struggled with acne as a kid, and this absolutely changed my life.”

Social media is a big part of today’s society. However, Doja tells Billboard that she doesn’t really use it all that much. “I don’t like the idea of having to juggle social media, which already sucks as it is. Not to say it hasn’t helped me so f–king much, but the way I feel about Instagram is: I go on, look at pictures of makeup and fashion and cats, and that’s pretty much it.”

In a piece for Interview Magazine, Doja revealed that she has stopped doing certain things as her fame has risen. She says that she used to go on social media and make fun of people, but stopped. She says that she now wants to be a positive presence online. “I love going in on people, but I stopped because with a big platform, you don’t want to hurt anybody. You have power and you’re looked at a certain way, and if you go in on people and shit, it doesn’t help you or them, and they can tear you down more than you can tear them down.”

Doja Cat is showing off her Halloween style!

1. She Struggles with Self-Confidence

Doja admits that battling self-esteem issues is a daily struggle. “Growing up, I definitely had body dysmorphia. Without a doubt. And I’ve had it since,” she told Cosmopolitan Middle East. “It started in my teens, which I think is where it starts for a lot of people. I started really growing and I never really thought I looked good in a lot of the stuff I wore.” However, she tries to keep herself healthy. “Now, I just try to focus on eating well, but I definitely still struggle with body dysmorphia a bit now. But I think that’s to be completely expected when there’s all these phones in your face, right?”

Doja is into exercising. However, fitness hasn’t always been a big part of her approach to health. During a recent Instagram Live session, she admitted she was new to regular workouts "It used to be rehearsals for award shows," she said about her approach to exercise. Now she prioritizes exercise, even when she is traveling. "It's hard to get a hotel that has a proper gym," she added.

“I don’t need to be like anyone else but myself,” she told Crack. “That sounds so corny, but there were times where I felt like a baby duck, just doing what the momma duck did. I took my own leap of faith. When I’m natural, people really f**k with me.”

4. Her Workouts Are Intense

During her Instagram Live she detailed her average sweat session, revealing that she splits up her workouts. On arm days, she does a lot of weight lifting, including four sets of shoulder presses and bicep curls. "I've just always had noodle arms, my whole life," she revealed. Lower body workout day exercises include jump squats and kettlebell exercises. "I love doing squats," she said. "Don't know why, but my bottom half responds to a lot, and you can see it immediately."

5. She Gets Enough Sleep

Doja prioritizes sleep. She recently shared a photo of herself getting some zs, telling her followers that sleep is good for her intimate life and her brain. “I also have an IQ of 560 because of it,” she wrote. "Scientists have gone to great lengths to fully understand sleep's benefits. In studies of humans and other animals, they have discovered that sleep plays a critical role in immune function, metabolism, memory, learning, and other vital functions," says Harvard Health.

Doja Cat is playing Barbie, in a swimsuit. The Planet Her legend shared an image on Instagram stories of her with Barbie logos, in another instance of her trademark cheeky humor. (She has said she wants to act and Margot Robbie is making a Barbie movie; Hollywood, give her a call.) How does she stay so fit?

1. She Uses Kettlebells

“Regardless of where you want to be in three, six or 18 months, using kettlebells can be a great way to help you reach your goals. Like most training tools, using the correct technique is critical. Take the time to perfect your technique before progressing to the more advanced moves,” says ACE Fitness.

2. She Uses Dumbbells

Doja Cat uses dumbbells in her workout. Try this: “Hold onto two lighter dumbbells as you balance on one foot and hinge forward into a tabletop position. With both elbows slightly bent, lift arms out to the side squeezing behind the shoulder blades. Lower the arms and then return to a standing position, ideally not touching the elevated foot all the way to the ground until all 10 repetitions are complete,” says ACE Fitness.

3. She Does Jump Squats

Squats really work your glutes and core. “You don't need to go to the gym and lift weights to increase your muscular fitness. Use your body weight to do weight training exercises and resistance training. For example, try situps, pushups, squats and lunges,” says the Mayo Clinic.

4. She May Get Into Acting Indeed

Doja Cat has expressed frustration with all the “unnecessary obligations” of her music career and has mentioned taking a hiatus or hinting at retiring. “I’d love to act. I’d love to be in movies. That’s a massive want for me,” she has also said. "Experiencing the arts has the added benefit of stimulating your brain centers and impacting your cognitive functioning. When you are moved by a performance, your limbic system is stimulated. Your temporal lobe is engaged when listening or watching a performance that arouses your emotions,” Daniel K. Hall-Flavin, M.D., M.S., Associate Professor of Psychiatry at Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota, says in the Mayo Clinic.

5. She is Currently Recovering From a Tonsil Problem

“Hi guys. I wanted you to hear it from me first. Unfortunately, I have to have surgery on my tonsils asap. The surgery is routine but the recovery is going to take a while due to swelling. That means I have to cancel my festival run this summer as well as The Weeknd tour,” she wrote in a statement. “I feel horrible about this but can’t wait for this to heal and get back to making music and create an experience for y’all.” She said she had a “growth” on her tonsil. “​​im quitting the vape for a while and hopefully i dont crave it anymore after that,” she added later.
