Magazine that keeping up with her kids is her main way of staying active. "I'm kind of lucky because I'm running after three kids all the time. I get my source of cardio even if I don't have time to go work out! You're lifting them all the time. Your arms get super muscular from just lifting 30 pound kids all the time!"

2. She Doesn’t Completely Deprive Herself

Decker tells E! News that she tries to eat healthy, but she doesn’t completely deprive herself. She says that this approach actually helps her continue to eat healthy. "It's really easy and you don't have to give up everything that you love. That's the important part. If you starve yourself, you're just going to go crazy."

3. She’s On The South Beach Diet

Decker is one of many people who use the popular South Beach Diet as a way to eat healthy. "It's tough, but I think the great thing about South Beach [Diet] is that I have the food at my home and I keep the snacks with me," she told E! News. "But the great thing is even if you don't have South Beach physically in your hands, you can still do South Beach."

4. She Sets Goals For Herself

When it comes to losing weight, Decker says that she likes to set goals for herself to accomplish. She says that it helps her stay motivated, and reminds her how much further she has to go. “I do like to set goals, I think it’s a good idea to set them, so you can make those goals,” Decker told Us Weekly.

5. She Takes Before and After Photos

Another way Decker stays motivated to stay in shape is by taking before and after photos of herself. She told Us Weekly, “I would take pictures every couple of months and compare them to the last and how much weight I lost. It would just inspire me and make me feel so good. Like, ‘Oh my God, I’m getting there, and all this hard work that I did of working out and trying to eat healthy, it’s paying off!’”

6. She Buys Healthy Foods With Her Kids

It can be difficult to get young kids to eat healthy, but Decker has a trick. She tells HollywoodLife that she takes her kids grocery shopping with her, and this encourages them to eat healthy. “I get my kids involved when cooking healthy foods to help give them a more well-rounded diet,” she admitted. “I let them pick out colorful fruits, vegetables and other healthy snack options at the grocery store, so they feel involved and more inclined to eat the foods they are picking out.

Jessie James Decker, country pop star, reality TV performer, entrepreneur, and mother of three, is known for a lot of things.

Years ago, Dekker committed to eating right. "I decided to make a change and focus on [eating more] veggies and just eating really clean, and paying attention to nutrition," she told SELF. "I’m running around with my kids, and there were times I used to forget to feed myself and would it be a problem because I would get exhausted and just crash," she says. That’s why she once promoted the South Beach Diet prepared meals.

2. She Stepped it Up at the Gym

“The top of this year I decided to really step it up in the gym!” she wrote on social media this February. “I know my core will probably never be as strong as it used to be but... I’m gonna try! I have goals and I’m not stopping until I’m there.” Clearly it worked. The pandemic sparked her. “I gained the quarantine 10, like everybody did,” she told E! News. “I mean, we were having, like, wine every night for a minute there. I’m like, ‘Oh my god, this is not a good habit!’” “We’re back on a good program,” she said. “I’m working out a few times a week. I’m eating well. And so I just feel good about it.”

3. She Thinks About Food. A Lot.

"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." That said, she eats thoughtfully. "I like to be in shape and feel that energy," Jessie says. "I use food as my fuel."

4. This is Her Breakfast

"When I wake up, I start with some coffee and a little cream and stevia. I drink it all morning long," Jessie told Women's Health. "I don't like to eat until I'm actually hungry, which is usually later, around 11 a.m." Also, yum: "I'll have some bread from a local bread company. I get fresh honey wheat bread every week," she says. "That's honestly what we all eat for breakfast: Toast and butter. We have salted butter that we leave out, so it's really nice and mushy when we're spread it on on our bread. We love our toast in the morning."

5. She Says This to New Moms

"I always tell mothers, like, that should be the last thing on your mind," she stressed. "After you have a baby, please do not think about trying to lose weight. Just feed your baby. Love on your baby. You have a newborn. Your body is trying to heal. You will know when your body is ready. Don't listen to your brain telling you, 'Lose weight, lose weight.' You'll know when you physically feel like, 'OK, I feel like I'm ready to kind of have that energy and can run around,’” she told E!.

6. She Doesn’t Enjoy the Gym Necessarily

“Gonna [sic] be honest ... I hate working out. I dread it.” Decker once posted. “I’m one of those girls that watches the clock and counts down to the last second when I can be done. I wish I enjoyed it. I wish I was a big workout junkie but the truth is I just don’t!”

Having kids gave her energy. "My body looks completely different than it did before kids," she told SELF. "I feel like I have more energy now and I feel more proud of myself because I had two kids and know I really accomplished something."

I want to enjoy the foods I love, like pasta and bread and chocolate chip cookies,” the “Flip My Hair” singer told Us Weekly. “I drink water all day long and I try not to eat past 6:30 p.m. I take probiotics and fiber on a daily basis.”

4. She Takes Fiber

“Americans should consume 28 grams of fiber per day if they're following a 2,000 calorie diet, according to the FDA,” says our sister site Eat This, Not That! “Unfortunately, we're getting nowhere close to that amount. A report from the Food and Drug Administration says that the average American woman eats only 15 grams of fiber a day, while the average adult man consumes just under 19 grams per day.” Try navy beans or acorn squash.

5. She Does Pushups and Planks

Decker and husband Eric Decker like to work their core. “This core-strength exercise is called the modified plank,” says the Mayo Clinic.

• “Lie on your stomach. Raise yourself up so that you're resting on your forearms and your knees. Align your head and neck with your back, and place your shoulders directly above your elbows. Tighten your abdominal muscles.
• Create resistance by pressing your elbows and your knees toward one another. Neither should move from their positions on the floor. Hold for three deep breaths.
• Return to the start position and repeat.”
