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.”

When it comes to her fans, Manoela wants to be authentic. She says in an interview, “I always try to show people who I really am. So, I don't have that much of being one person and looking like another. I think that when we manage to be as natural as possible, and show this truth, people end up liking it: they see that you, despite all your success, are really a normal person. There are those who insist on perceiving a different reality, supported only by glamour. I don't see myself much of a celebrity these days. I get recognition for my work. For me, it hasn't sunk in yet that I have 12 million people following me. It's something that makes me very happy, but it's much bigger than sometimes I'm really aware.

2. She Wants To Be A Role Model

In the same interview, Manoela says that she wants to inspire young girls. “I feel very responsible today for showing teenagers, and especially girls, that they are managing to occupy more and more of their space in society as the voice of the woman,” she said. “The girl who wants to grow and mature and show everyone that she has an active voice to be able to talk about different subjects, and to be able to show what she wants. This girl power; is coming up a lot these days and talking about it to the girls who accompany me, to the girls who dream of having the life I have, or showing others that they really can say what they want to show is extremely important.

3. She Runs

Manoela is an avid runner. She revealed that she likes to go running in her Instagram post. In it, she is seen going for a run on the beach. She captioned the post, “Running, footvolley in evolution, sun, salt & sea.” Better Health reports, “Running and jogging are forms of aerobic exercise. Aerobic means 'with oxygen' – the term 'aerobic exercise' means any physical activity that produces energy by combining oxygen with blood glucose or body fat.”

4. She Does Muay Thai

Manoela is getting into martial arts. In this Instagram video, she revealed that she is learning Muay Thai. Manoela is seen sparring with her trainer and learning new moves in the video. She captioned the post, “Who out here training heavy? I came back from a trip thirsty for new practices, and it was at that peak that I had my first Muay Thai class with @jrpimenta_ and the whole team of @pumabrasil. Now only progress. Always with @pimentafightclub.”

5. She Works Out With Her Partner

When Manoela hits the gym, she doesn’t always go alone. She likes to go with her boyfriend, and the couple will sometimes workout together. Manoela shared this video on Instagram of the couple doing different exercises. In it, they are seen doing arm circles with weights, squats with dumbbells, plank taps, and box step-ups. Manoela captioned the post, “Couple who knits together, evolve, and stays together.”

Maria Menounos has sprung into spring. And she’s not alone. Madison LeCroy, Elsa Pataky, Teresa Giudice and more posed in swimsuits, enjoying some vitamin D. How do they stay so fit? Read on to see 7 ways Maria Menounos and the other celebs stay in shape and the photos that prove they work—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bathing Suit Photos!

1. Maria Menounos

After having a benign brain tumor removed, Maria knows what’s up about health. “Pro-tip: try to schedule all of your appointments in the same month,” she wrote on an Instagram post of herself at her doctor’s office. “Get your dentist, gynecologist, skin check and any doctor’s appointments all done at once – this way you can always remember. October for example is when I handle the health biz. I try to set back-to-back appointments and knock out as many as I can at once. Try your best to have a rhythm so you never forget! It’s helped me! Good luck.”

2. Madison LeCroy

The Southern Charm star once did a 30 day cleanse “Day one. No alcohol, no carbs, no sugar. 29 days to go,” she captioned a photo of herself in the gym. Good call. Says the Mayo Clinic: “Eating too many foods with added sugars sets the stage for potential health problems, such as:

• Poor nutrition. If you choose sugar-laden foods instead of more nutritious foods, you miss out on important nutrients, vitamins and minerals.
• Weight gain. There's no single cause for being overweight or obese. But added sugar might contribute to the problem. It's easy to get extra calories when eating foods that are sugar sweetened.”

3. Elsa Pataky

Elsa meditates. "Once the kids are asleep, I try to meditate for 10 to 15 minutes, and I make sure I read and unwind before going to bed. At home we always try to put our phones aside just after dinner and we don't check them before bedtime, so we properly disconnect from the world for few hours,” said Pataky to Harper’s Bazaar.

4. Teresa Giudice

Teresa knows how to eat right. "Starting my day with veggie packed egg white omelette and fresh fruit!" she once wrote. "Always look for a veggie heavy meal on the menu when dining out. You'll feel satisfied longer & full quicker!"

5. Heather Graham

Graham avoids sugar. "I do eat sugar sometimes, but as a broad rule, I try to just eat no sugar basically, and I have to say I feel a lot better," she said. "And I will sometimes eat things with white flour, but I try to avoid white flour." Always go for whole grains instead. “If you're not sure something has whole grains, check the product label or the Nutrition Facts panel. Look for the word ‘whole’ on the package, and make sure whole grains appear among the first items in the ingredient list,” says the Mayo Clinic.

Cabello supports mental health for all. “I’ve spent a lot of time over the last couple of years, and especially this past year home during the pandemic, in constant reflection, learning and exploring the ways I have contributed to systems and beliefs that actively oppress others,” Cabello tells The Hollywood Reporter. “I’ve realized there’s so much more I can and must do to support others who are doing the work to heal our communities…. Grassroots organizers are faced with the exhaustion, emotional burden and trauma that comes with fighting against inequitable systems. Our hope is to offer access to the necessary support they may need as they continue their critical work advocating for social justice.”

7. Fernanda Flores

Want to burn calories and build muscles? Do a stair workout, like Flores, the 90 Day Fiancé star. “After a long vacation full of amazing Mexican food and lots of drinks it’s time to get back to my routine and detox 🌱lots of cardio needed and there are mods options than you think. Take this Stair Climber workout for example, I did a variety of movements on just one machine only 30 minutes. I was able to pass the time easily. It’s great for cardio,” she once wrote. “You will feel the burn in your quads when you squat and climb.”

Maria Menounos, Noovie host and Better Together podcaster, is loving summer outdoors in her backyard, in a bathing suit, with new furniture. “Backyard transformation is here! BEFORE and AFTER 💥 My backyard reno reveal is here! Been working on this for sooooo long and it finally all came together. If you know anything about us Greeks-we don’t pay for anything we can do…so my dad was adamant he would build the beautiful decks in our ct backyard -he crushed it! Picked my dream furniture from @frontgate and voila…hard launch today. Will be dropping them all day. Starting with the chaises because they are my favorite!! No arms, super easy to move around and use..the double chaise even has a little tray that pulls out for your drinks! Got these cute little trees for decor and the pool chairs are THE BEST pool chairs I’ve found. Definitely and investment but they last forever and are perfect,” she said. How does she stay so fit?

1. She Gets Up

“If you’re a complete newbie when it comes to fitness, or if you have been away from exercise for a while and want to start again, there are a few things that you can do to get you moving in no time. The best way to get going is to get up! Move around the office, stretch, take a walk around the block, or go for a run at lunch time. If you’re interested in getting some exercise before bedtime too, there are plenty of ways to do so,” Maria wrote.

2. She Walks

“Walking is a great way to get moving. It’s easy, it doesn’t require any special equipment or a gym membership, and you can do it anywhere. Walking is also effective because it gets your body moving without requiring much effort on your part—you can take as many breaks as you need without feeling guilty about skipping out on exercise altogether,” wrote Maria. “You may have heard that walking boosts brain power and helps with memory retention, but that’s not all! Walking can help reduce stress levels, improve sleep quality, lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels—all things that are good for your overall health and well-being (and happiness!).”

3. She Visits the Doctor

“Pro-tip: try to schedule all of your appointments in the same month,” Maria wrote on an Instagram post. She knows what she’s talking about, as she once had brain tumor symptoms discovered by her doctor. “Get your dentist, gynecologist, skin check and any doctor’s appointments all done at once – this way you can always remember. October for example is when I handle the health biz. I try to set back-to-back appointments and knock out as many as I can at once. Try your best to have a rhythm so you never forget! It’s helped me! Good luck.”

4. Here’s Her Take on Success

“I realized what matters in life are the people that you positively affect and touch — the things that you do that are not about accolades, awards, or success. Success isn’t a closet of Chanel bags. It all doesn’t matter if you’re going to go, what matters is living while you can. Every time you can dance, someone else can’t. You have to remember that,” she has said, according to Girlboss.

5. Get a Hobby

“I never had hobbies and I never thought I had the time. Now I’ve gone the opposite way — it takes like six hours a week. Do we not have a couple of hours a week to devote to ourselves to be better and happier emotionally and spiritually? I took up guitar and I’ll go into a guitar session having had a very stressful family conversation and leave feeling so uplifted and happy. Whatever that is going to make you feel good — is it dance class? Is it SoulCycle or playing with puppies at the shelter? You need to figure out things that aren’t expensive and figure out how to access your happiness during stressful moments without cost,” she told Girlboss.

5. She Gets Her Vitamin D

Get at least 10 minutes of sun each day. “Vitamin D insufficiency affects almost 50% of the population worldwide. An estimated 1 billion people worldwide, across all ethnicities and age groups, have a vitamin D deficiency (VDD). This pandemic of hypovitaminosis D can mainly be attributed to lifestyle (for example, reduced outdoor activities) and environmental (for example, air pollution) factors that reduce exposure to sunlight, which is required for ultraviolet-B (UVB)-induced vitamin D production in the skin,” says one study.
