1. She Worked Out While Pregnant

In an interview with SheKnows.com, Canalis revealed some of her health and wellness secrets. She says that she focuses on working out and eating healthy, instead of putting herself on restrictive diets. “I’m very athletic,” she said. “I love sports. I’m never on a diet regimen. I love food. When I’m not on the show, I eat a lot of protein and carbs.” Try plant protein. "Nuts; nut butters; seeds; green peas; edamame; quinoa; lentils; legumes, such as garbanzo, kidney, black, pinto or cannellini beans; seitan; tofu; tempeh; and nutritional yeast are all whole food sources of plant protein. Processed plant-based meat alternatives ― "meat" balls, burgers, crumbles, "chicken" tenders and "fish" filets ― have come a long way in texture and flavor. But, it's not clear if replacing animal protein with processed plant-based meat alternatives provides the same benefit as whole food plant-based protein options," says the Mayo Clinic.

3. She Burns Calories Quickly

Canalis revealed to SheKnows that a lot of people think that she doesn’t eat a whole lot. She says that assumption is incorrect, as she eats a lot, and is just blessed with the ability to burn calories fast. “People, especially from Italy are telling me, ‘Why are you losing so much weight? You’re not eating.’ I’m eating much more than usual. People don’t believe it, but I’m burning a lot of calories.”

4. She Loves Pilates

Canalis is a big fan of Pilates. She told FitBump that she picked it up as a way to do more cardio workouts. “I was hiking with my dogs twice a week. And then I started to do Pilates. I had never done Pilates before. I found a very good place here in Los Angeles. I tried Pilates before and thought it was boring. The most important thing is to find a good school, a good teacher who motivates you.”

5. She Has A Supportive Husband

Canalis is married to surgeon, Brian Perri, and she gushed about him to FitBump. “I learned that I have a great husband. Sometimes I can’t take myself and he’s the best at doing that. [Laughs] He’s an extremely positive person. You have these moments when you’re down a little bit and he’s there. He’s super active. Every time he can go surf or run, he’ll do it. He loves it. Sometimes I’m jealous that I cannot follow him, but it motivates me. Better a person who takes care of himself than another person who grabs popcorn and hamburgers and French fries and stays every day in front of the TV.”

4. She Gets Her Vitamin D

"Vitamin D isn't naturally found in many foods, but you can get it from fortified milk, fortified cereal, and fatty fish such as salmon, mackerel and sardines. Your body also makes vitamin D when direct sunlight converts a chemical in your skin into an active form of the vitamin (calciferol)," says the Mayo Clinic. "The amount of vitamin D your skin makes depends on many factors, including the time of day, season, latitude and your skin pigmentation. Depending on where you live and your lifestyle, vitamin D production might decrease or be completely absent during the winter months. Sunscreen, while important to prevent skin cancer, also can decrease vitamin D production."

5. She Likes the Beach

"Swimming can improve mood in both men and women. For people with fibromyalgia, swimming can decrease anxiety, and exercise therapy in warm water can decrease depression and improve mood. Water-based exercise can improve the health of pregnant people and has a positive effect on the pregnant person’s mental health. Parents of children with developmental disabilities find that recreational activities, such as swimming, improve family connections," says the CDC.
