Coffee? Tea? Nah. Hurley starts her day with an unusual hot beverage. "I often put apple cider vinegar in my hot water. It tastes disgusting. I can't face it every day, so I'll put it in my hot water maybe every other day. It's good for your metabolism," she told The Cut.

Elizabeth eats more early in the day and less as it goes on. "I rarely skip breakfast and always eat lunch but the lighter my evening meal the better," she told Healthy Living. 

Elizabeth eats mostly whole foods. "I really try to go out of my way to eat an apple for a snack instead of a cookie," she told Healthy Living. On her do-not-eat list? "Processed and junk foods" she reveals. "I like simple, natural, easy food. I don't really like food with a lot of chemicals or additives. When I'm at home in the country, I always try and eat food that's grown locally. That goes for meats and vegetables," she added to The Cut. "If I can grow it myself, I'm even happier."

Elizabeth isn't a drinker or a smoker. "You can't look good if you're not healthy, and diet plays a big part. You can't smoke and have too much alcohol," she told The Cut. 

Elizabeth isn't into formal exercise, but she makes sure to move. "I don't exercise, but I am very active," she told Harper's Bazaar. Her method is "gentle exercise and lots of it," she added to Us Weekly. It entails "being active, going for walks, stretching, maybe a little yoga or a little Pilates. But I don't like high impact, high energy sports. I don't actually think they do you much good. As long as you get your heart rate to the rate you need it to get, which is a fast walk. But you need to do a bit of it."

Elizabeth is a fan of activity trackers. "I walk every day, so I try and hit my 10,000 steps a day and I do some stretching every day," she told Us. "And then sometimes I do a bit more, but that's enough for me really."
