1. She Doesn’t Have a Specific Diet But Here is How She Eats

“I don't really have a specific diet. I just eat very healthily,” Klum told Entertainment Tonight. “I start with great smoothies in the morning. I also have four children, so we cook a lot. I don't really eat out a lot. I think when you eat out a lot or when you order foods in a lot, then it kind of gets a little tricky because you don't know what people are putting in there. So I cook a lot. I do three big meals, but really my last one is at 6:00 PM. I eat with my kids. I think that also helps a little bit. I think when you eat a little on the earlier side, it has time to digest and I think it is a little bit better for your body.”

2. Being in the Public Eye is Not Always Easy

“Being in the public eye is not always easy,” she told E! “Sometimes they look at you and they're like, ‘Oh my God, is she pregnant again? I see a little bump on her stomach then. Oh my God, she's too thin. Why she's getting so thin?’ I think a woman always struggles. We always struggle with our pounds. They go up and they go down. With me when I have five pounds on more or less, it really really shows. So sometimes I have to struggle keeping them on. Sometimes I have to struggle keeping them off. It depends on if there was just a holiday, now with Thanksgiving around the corner, the five pounds will go on again. So it always goes up and down.”

3. She Does a Bit of Cardio

“I don't really have that time to go and spend an hour at the gym,” she told E! ‘So I have to make due with walking the stairs instead of taking the elevator, jumping on the trampoline with my kids, being more involved in their activities. And then sometimes I hit my treadmill. So I make it into my attic. I have a treadmill in there and like sometimes even just 30 minutes or 40 minutes on that, I do a little bit of cardio.”

4. She is Always Active

As for losing baby weight, Klum feels “I'm partially lucky. Partially. I eat very healthy. I do watch what I eat, which is still a lot. People always think, oh, she probably doesn't eat anything. I do eat a lot, but I do watch what I eat. I try to stay away from the carbs … I'm very mobile … I'm very active. There's always something to do. If it's like cleaning up the closet and the kids are in school, or there's always something going through my house….”

5. She Says Women Should Embrace Their Shape

“I love designing swimsuits and it's a beach party or a pool party. So I thought that would be the perfect attire for today. I tried to make swimsuits for women, any shape or size. And I also believe that women should embrace their shape no matter what shape they're in. I think you should love yourself for who you are,” she told ET.

Heidi Klum is having the time of her life on vacation in beautiful Italy with boyfriend Tom Kaulitz. Klum, 50, shared pictures of herself piloting a motorboat while wearing a black bathing suit, hat, and sunglasses, with a big smile on her face.

Read on to see 5 ways Klum stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. Morning Routine

Klum starts the day with coffee and running on the treadmill. “I wake up at 6am,” she says. “I make breakfast for my four kids, do the school run, then start work at my home, office or studio. The first thing that passes my lips is coffee. The sweet nectar of the gods. My exercise routine is all over the place. My life does not allow for a routine! So I run on my treadmill at home.”

2. What’s In Her Fridge?

Klum’s go-to foods are kohlrabi and smoothies. “My fridge is always filled with kohlrabi,” she says. “It's yummy - raw or cooked. You just peel and eat it. I have a fresh smoothie every morning and take Perfectil Skin, Hair, Nails supplements for a boost. The last treatment I had was a body scrub at Beverly Hot Springs. It's the best one I've ever had. They get off all your dead skin, I love it!”

3. Bikini Season All Year

Klum’s mindset is to keep in shape year-round. “I pretend it's bikini season all year and regularly make healthy decisions,” she says. “My favorite workout is a long run along the Westside Highway, which stretches along the Hudson River in New York City...it's a beautiful path, and you always feel surrounded by such an amazing community. You see the same people running every morning, and they inspire me to keep going. That and knowing there is a Starbucks coffee at the end of the route!”

4. Activity Every Day

Klum doesn’t rely on structured workouts to get her daily exercise in. “I like to try and incorporate exercise into my daily life whenever I can—which requires some creativity,” she says. “Sometimes I jump on the trampoline with my kids or take a hike with my dogs in the canyon by my house. Sometimes I run for 30 minutes on my treadmill, but I prefer to be outdoors. When I'm traveling, it could be doing a few sit-ups in my hotel room before I head to work.”

5. No Dieting, Lots of Fresh Food

Klum has made it clear over the years she never diets—instead, the whole family focused on healthy balance. “There is no go-to,” she says. “Every day we cook something different; we cook fresh everyday so it's hard to say a go-to when you cook for a family - you know I have four kids. Like, Mondays I'll have meatballs with pasta and vegetables - there's always a vegetable - or we have fish with green beans and mashed potatoes and then we have schnitzel with broccoli and spaghetti squash. Every day is something different. It's not like salad and a piece of chicken every day - my kids would really not appreciate that.”

Heidi Klum, the German supermodel, started at as a teen and has created quite the name for herself working for companies like Victoria’s Secret and appearing in Sports Illustrated, reaching icon status. She's a judge on Making the Cut and America’s Got Talent, and her amazing Halloween costumes are always on point. In addition to all of that, she really brings it in the gym and focuses on her overall wellness. The proof was on display this weekend when she went to see Tiësto in Vegas, wearing a bathing suit.

1. She Dances and Plays With Her Kids

She focuses on playing with her kids and having fun. “The craziest (and most fun!) workout I've tried this year is dancing around the living room with my kids,” she said. “We love listening to upbeat music, so sometimes we turn up the volume and dance around together. It's important to teach your kids the value of being active by setting a good example.”

2. She Eats A Balanced Diet

A balanced diet is so important to Heidi. “I like to stick to fresh fruits and vegetables and lean proteins. In 2013, I made a New Year's resolution to drink a fruit and veggie smoothie every morning,” she said. “It's one of those that went from a resolution to a life habit. My kids and I do it together, and we love it.”

3. -She Sets Goals

She sets goals and strives to achieve them. “With my busy schedule, it's impossible to have a set fitness routine. So instead I like to try and incorporate exercise into my daily life whenever I can—which requires some creativity,” she said. “Sometimes I jump on the trampoline with my kids or take a hike with my dogs in the canyon by my house. Sometimes I run for 30 minutes on my treadmill, but I prefer to be outdoors. When I'm traveling, it could be doing a few sit-ups in my hotel room before I head to work.

4. She Enjoys Food

Surprisingly, she doesn’t deprive herself. “It's important to keep a balanced diet, but I'm not a fan of deprivation,” she said. ”If I want a cheeseburger, I am not only going to eat that cheeseburger, but I'm going to enjoy that cheeseburger.”

5. She Pretends It’s Summer Year Round

She takes care of her body all year long. “I pretend it's bikini season all year and regularly make healthy decisions,” she said. “My favorite workout is a long run along the Westside Highway, which stretches along the Hudson River in New York City...it's a beautiful path, and you always feel surrounded by such an amazing community. You see the same people running every morning, and they inspire me to keep going. That and knowing there is a Starbucks coffee at the end of the route!”
