Menounos opened up about her diet and exercise routine to People. She says that she believes in balance when it comes to her diet. “I live by the 75/25 rule,” she says. “75% clean and from the ground, and have a 25% play area so it’s never a guilty pleasure or a splurge day. If Wednesday night I want nachos, I’m going to have it. And on Friday if I want a potato skin then I may have it.”

2. She Works With A Trainer

Menounos tells People that she is working on using weights. She says that she works on this with a personal trainer. “I have been working out with a trainer for the last few weeks because I really want to build my upper body. The amount of weights I’m doing I can’t do by myself. For me anything over 10 lbs. is a lot for me! I’ve gotten up to 25 lbs.”

3. She Keeps Almonds With Her

Menounos tells People that she likes to take healthy snacks on-the-go with her. And she has a favorite in particular. “I keep almonds in my purse, my car,” she says. “It's the best snack because they don’t go bad and can’t melt! And if you’re prepared you won’t make bad choices like going through the drive through. I’ll eat a handful of almonds to get me through the hour I’m in traffic before I can eat a meal.”

4. She Wears Ankle Weights

In this post on her website, Menounos revealed her secrets to working out on a regular basis. She says that she likes to wear ankle weights and move around a lot. “With such a busy schedule, it sometimes feels almost impossible to fit in any time for exercise. What I’ve always tried to do is incorporate workouts into my other tasks to make it more manageable to have an easy daily workout routine. I recently discovered these amazing leg weights called ‘Bala bangles’ and I’m in love. They are basically updated, cuter leg weights. Throughout my day to burn some extra calories, I wear my Bala Bangles and push myself to take the stairs, fit in my calf-raises or even do tricep pushes off my counter while I am cooking dinner. I know it sounds too easy or kinda silly, but hey – I'm still moving!”

5. She Does What She Can

When it comes to fitness, Menounos is all about doing what she can each day. “I also want to emphasize the importance of listening to your body,” she writes on her website post. “Just do what you can that day. If all I can do at the time is get on the treadmill and walk for 10 minutes, that’s okay. I do what I can and don’t have guilt. I have phases in life where I can do more, or phases when I do almost nothing. It’s just how it goes for me and I’m ok with that.”

Thank you to Doctor Lessner and your entire staff. @havelasik I have severe anxiety and felt so comfortable trusting you to take care of my vision. I’m blown away by my immediate results and cannot wait to continue to have my vision develop the next 24 hours. I’ve worn glasses since I’m 8, and contacts since I’m 10, and always had so much anxiety at eye exams. Not being able to see was so frustrating.”

She says that after receiving criticism from social media, she isn’t going to say anything negative to someone else. “I mean, I prayed a lot and, like, it was hard and I had moments for myself and I would just ask, you know, God and my higher power, like, ‘What is the lesson here? Like, why is this happening?’ And I did feel like it was a growing experience. Like, I'm never going to talk [badly] about people.”

"Today is #InternationalWomensDay, a day where we as women are celebrated," she captioned one clip. "We celebrate the power that being a woman comes with. The strength, the perseverance. We are reminded to be proud of our sexuality, to be proud of our bodies, and to challenge ourselves every day to love ourselves more and more."

"Some days confidence comes easier, sometimes it’s a challenge," she added, "but if we all make a commitment to lift each other up, it will come more often."

2. She Now Loves Herself

"I struggled with an eating disorder when I was 14 and I'm so lucky that I came out of the other side of it," she said. "I learned so many amazing things from it that I honestly wouldn't take back." "I've never loved myself as much as I do now, which is so important. I think it's the most important quality any woman can have," she continued. "It's just self-love, self-respect, self-confidence and body positivity."

3. Her Mom is a Big Inspiration

Of mom Lisa Rinna, Hamlin says: "She taught me how to love myself, how to unapologetically be myself, how to make fun of myself, and self-deprecate myself in amazing ways that actually ended up helping me with my confidence, and not take myself too seriously," she explained. "I think that's a really big key to life."

4. She’s Into Yoga Gear

Hamlin has sported the Alo clothing, a yoga brand. “Practicing slow, controlled breathing stimulates the body's vagus nerve, which takes information about the current state of relaxation and relays it to the rest of the body, including the brain. One area affected when the vagal nerve is stimulated is the parasympathic nervous system, which controls the body's rest and digestion functions. The mindful breathing practiced in yoga increases the activity of the parasympathic nervous system. As a result, yoga lowers the heart rate, improves digestion and quality of sleep, and strengthens the immune system. Another benefit is an improved stress level,” says the Mayo Clinic.

5. She Hits the Gym

Hamlin is frequently photographed leaving a gym. “The Department of Health and Human Services recommends that healthy adults include aerobic activity and strength training in their fitness plans, specifically,” says the Mayo Clinic:

• At least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity or 75 minutes of vigorous aerobic activity a week, or an equivalent combination of moderate and vigorous aerobic activity
• Strength training exercises of all the major muscle groups at least twice a week.”

1. She Created Her Own Plan

In an interview with Ladies Home Journal, Menounos revealed that she went through a period where she gained a lot of weight. She says that she tried a lot of established plans to drop the pounds, but nothing work. Menounos decided to look elsewhere. "Since I couldn't find a plan that worked for me, I decided to create my own," she says. "Within a year I lost 40 pounds."

2. She Doesn’t Aim To Be Thin

Menounos says that her main goal is to feel healthy, not to be skinny. She tells Ladies Home Journal that when she was skinny, she wasn’t always healthy, and ended up in and out of the hospital. This is what made her focus on how she felt, not what she weighed. “Just because you're thinner doesn't mean you're healthier. I made it my mission to figure out the very best ways to control my weight and be healthy at the same time."

3. She Focuses On Long Term Success

For Menounos, being healthy took a while. She tells Ladies Home Journal that her focus was correcting unhealthy habits she had, not going on a diet for a couple of weeks. “My goal was to stop overeating, make healthier choices, and lose weight slowly over the course of one year," she says. "Trying to rush or do crazy crash diets does not give you sustainable results."

4. She Has A Food Journal

One thing Menounos does to stay healthy is keeping a food journal. She says that this helps her see what she’s eating, and how it affects her body and weight. "Before you change your diet, spend a week recording everything that you eat—and when you ate it—in a weight-loss journal," she advises in Ladies Home Journal. "Now that you know what you're eating.”

5. She Does Little Workouts Throughout The Day

Menounos tells TooFab that she lives an active life. One way she is able to do this is by finding small ways to be active each day. “I find creative ways to squeeze in exercises during my daily living routine and I stay as active as I possibly can. I walk instead of drive. I opt for stairs instead of escalators. I also have an inexpensive pedometer that measures my daily steps. I strive to do 10,000 a day and whether I accomplish that or not, it's a reminder to try.”

She captioned the post, “A varied combo of opposites coexisting in total harmony (because you can, huh!) inside and outside this container... music, humor, poetry, history, quite street, character, flaws, anger, laughter, and this kind of hand in hand with the law of gravity. Stay calm, in the long run I will accept the inevitable defeat, but in the meantime, I face it and enjoy the contrasts that curvilinear bodies well combined with other virtues ( and without prejudice).”
