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.”
