1. She Starts Her Day With Coffee

Jessie starts her day with coffee with a bit of cream and Stevia, often made by her husband, former NFL player Eric Decker. Not a bad idea. "Coffee is associated with many different health benefits: Type 2 diabetes; reduced risk of heart disease; reduced risk of certain cancers; improved mood; reduced risk of depression, Parkinson's disease; the list goes on and on," Dr. Donald Hensrud, director of the Mayo Clinic Healthy Living Program, tells the Mayo Clinic. "It's the highest source of antioxidants, and, so, even decaffeinated coffee has been associated with a reduced risk of Type 2 diabetes, similar to caffeinated coffee.” She says she drinks it all day; try to avoid coffee after 2pm or else it may affect your sleep.

2. She Says Everything in Moderation

"There are some weeks when I'm following more of a strict diet because I have something coming up," she says. "But, you know, for the most part, I'm always enjoying food and I always say 'everything in moderation' on a day-to-day basis." By the way, consuming the right types of saturated fat in moderation can actually help you torch body fat. Some of the best examples are lean beef and coconut.

3. She and Her Husband Eat Turkey Bacon

While their kids eat fruit and yogurt, Jessie often starts her day with turkey bacon. To boost your metabolism, when you wake up, have a tall glass of water (16 ounces) and for breakfast, two eggs fried in olive oil with a side of turkey bacon. Then for a snack later on, take a cue from her kids and try Greek yogurt with fruit.

4. Olive Oil is Her Go-To

The right fats slow the sugar into your bloodstream so your blood sugar levels are more stable and your metabolism can keep humming along as need be. Those include monosaturated fats, such as olives and olive oil; nuts and nut butters; even dark chocolate. They also include polyunsaturated fats, including oily fish, plant-based saturated fats like coconut oil, and omega-3 fatty acids, found in items such as salmon, tuna, sardines, grass-fed beef; flaxseed, chia seeds, and more.

5. She Loves Food

"I am such a lover of food," she tells Women's Health. "Everyone around me—my friends, my family—knows it; I am a foodie. I think about food when I wake up and I go to bed thinking about if I could have another snack. I just love to eat."

6. Here's Her Take on Working Out With Her Husband

"An exercise that I dread would probably be donkey kicks because it makes my head shake and I get really dizzy, but they're so good for you. My husband and I do not typically work out together. We tried, but he annoys me when we work out. Because he think he knows everything. I don't know why, like what does he do? Right," she joked. "But he tries to like over tell me what to do and I'm doing something wrong and I'm just like shooing him away and just leave me alone because I feel like whatever I'm doing, it works for me. And even though the technique may be wrong, doesn't matter," she told Taste of Country.

7. Working Out is a Priority

"Working out is such a priority to me," she told GMA last month. "It helps me build my stamina, my strength. I'll be honest, I don't love running. It's never been one of my favorite things." She said she preferred an indoor exercise bike. "I love the incline. It really gets me going, gets my heart rate up. My number one request is to always have dumbbells. If you work out every single muscle group" and pay attention to your "form," you'll see results.

Decker is open about her mental health struggles. She wrote about it in a revealing Instagram post. “I want to be open and honest. I have struggled the last couple of years. It’s up-and-down. There have been really beautiful, amazing moments but also some pretty low lows. The reason why I want to share this is because I think I got to a place where I was trying to hide my vulnerabilities because if I made everything look great all the time it would hide my internet struggles."

2. She Goes After Her Goals

In the same post, Decker talked about her goals and career plans. She says that she wants to do a lot of things, and isn’t afraid to go after them. “I’ve also been struggling with the challenges I face in my career. I’ve been wanting to be a country singer since I was 9 years old and sometimes, I feel like constantly in a battle with the rest of the industry to prove to them that I’m not just a TV personality or an influencer because that has outshines my music. As a woman in 2022, I don’t understand why I can’t have a family, publish books, own a fashion brand, be an influencer and do TV without being questioned if I take my music career seriously just because I’ve chosen to dream big.”

3. She Makes Time For Workouts

Decker has a busy schedule, but she also makes time for workouts on a regular basis. She revealed her secrets to CMT. “Carve out 30 to 45 minutes of time. At the end of the day, 45-minutes is really not that much of your time. I don’t love the excuses people provide, ‘I don’t have time to work out,’ or ‘I don’t need it.’ You have time to get a good workout in. Just do it."

4. She Searches For Workouts

Decker isn’t afraid to call out haters. She called out body shamers on an Instagram post. "It's pretty awful, and I cannot believe this is still happening in the world,” she wrote. “That people are doing this. Yes, I have gained weight, 100 percent. I used to obsess over it. I tried to stay a certain weight, and most recently, over the past year, I decided to just let myself live."

Singer Jessie James Decker is always up to something new. And she’s teasing a special announcement this week.

I feel like, whatever I’m doing, it works for me.”

Decker tells Women’s Health that she keeps her diet pretty healthy. However, she does also believe in indulging at times, and keeps a balanced diet. “There are some weeks when I’m following more of a strict diet because I have something coming up,” she said. “But, you know, for the most part, I’m always enjoying food and I always say ‘everything in moderation’ on a day-to-day basis.”

Whether she is at home or on the road, Decker never misses a workout. “Carve out 30 to 45 minutes of time. At the end of the day, 45-minutes is really not that much of your time,” she tells Country Music Television. “I don’t love the excuses people provide, ‘I don’t have time to work out,’ or ‘I don’t need it.’ You have time to get a good workout in. Just do it. There are YouTube videos that I will watch. There’s such a variety.”

2. She Loves Wine

Decker enjoys drinking wine with her former-NFL husband, Eric Decker. “We like to start off with a really good Prosecco, just to kind of start off the night,” she says. “Then I like to transition into a pinot and maybe finish off the rest of the evening with a really good Cabernet Sauvignon. We really love a glass from this company called Darioush. It's our favorite red wine, and it’s local around here [Napa valley] as well. We love this Palagetto, which is an Italian wine from Tuscany that we fell in love with…so a few bottles of those.”

3. She Likes Her Toast

Decker shared her daily diet plan with her fans, and one thing she always has for lunch is two slices of buttered toast. “You got to do what works for you & your body, but I’m constantly asked to share some of my dieting and workout tips, and this is one of them!” she says. “Y’all know I’m an eater and love it enjoy! I have found eating two slices of toast fills me up midday! Giving up bread & carbs is just not a solution for me. So it definitely fulfills that bread need.”

4. She Doesn’t Eat After 6.30pm

Decker stops eating at 630pm until she has breakfast the next morning.“The benefit of an early dinner has to do with the fact that as the day winds down, the body needs less food for energy and should be entering a fasting state," says Rachel Swanson, MS, LDN. "Capping your intake more than two hours before bed allows for an extended overnight fasting window to take place—the essential downtime your body needs to facilitate detoxification and cellular repair."

5. She Focuses on Family

Decker is thrilled to have her husband and children with her when she goes on tour. “It’s been amazing! I feel like if I don’t have my kids with me, I don’t know if I would enjoy it as much.” she says. “Music and performing are my number one thing in life, but my kids and my family are more important than anything. So, if I don’t have them with me, I’m just not going to enjoy myself. I am even in a better mood, and I can do what I love.”
