Fox eats a very healthy diet, and avoids processed carbohydrates. "I cut out all bread and those sort of carbohydrates. No crackers, no pretzels, no chips. Nothing unhealthy," she says. "The worst thing I put in my body is coffee, once a day. I don't have any cheat days. But if I did, it would be pizza or cake."

2. She Eats Almonds

Almonds are one of Fox’s go-to foods for snacks and as part of meals. “Almonds are rich in nutrients that help protect the heart, including unsaturated fatty acids, phytosterols, magnesium, vitamin E, copper and manganese,” says registered nutritionist Nicola Shubrook. “Two research studies in 2012 and 2014 found that including almonds in your diet may reduce the risk of heart disease, specifically in overweight individuals. Further research has shown that almond consumption helps to reduce LDL cholesterol which may, in turn, help to reduce the risk of heart disease.”

3. She Does Circuit Training

Fox exercises “really hard”, and incorporates weights, cardio, and circuit training into her workout routine. “Try getting in a 30-minute workout five or more days a week that raises your heart rate for the duration of the activity,” says clinical exercise physiologist Erik Van Iterson, PhD, MS. “Or try three, 10-minute workouts, five or more days a week.”

4. She Enjoys Japanese Food

Fox loves Japanese food, widely considered one of the healthiest cuisines on the planet. “A study by the British Medical Journal found that those who stuck closer to the Japanese dietary guidelines – a diet high in grains and vegetables, with moderate amounts of animal products and soy but minimal dairy and fruit – had a reduced risk of dying early from heart disease or stroke,” says Shubrook. “As their diet is traditionally high in soy and fish this may also play a significant role in reduced risk of cardiovascular disease. The Japanese also have the lowest rates of obesity among men and women as well as long life expectancy.”

5. She Eats Plenty of Salmon

Fox loves salmon, and incorporates the oily fish into her meals several times a week. “Oily fish plays an important role in dampening the effects of inflammation, which is key to helping manage a number of chronic diseases, including diabetes and cancer,” says registered nutritionist Jo Lewin. “Studies suggest that eating more oily fish like salmon could help lower levels of the markers that indicate inflammation.”

Read on to see 7 ways Megan Fox stays 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. She Works Out Twice a Week

Recently Megan shared an image showcasing her flat abs, captioning it, “I don’t exercise. If God had wanted me to bend over, he would have put diamonds on the floor.” However, she was clearly joking. "I exercise really hard twice a week. I got my ass kicked this morning before I came here! I do bursts of cardio with really heavy weights. Circuit training," she told E! News.

2. She Is Strict About Her Diet

Megan is very strict about what she puts in her body. "I cut out all bread and those sort of carbohydrates. No crackers, no pretzels, no chips. Nothing unhealthy," she told E! News. During an interview with GLAMOUR she ordered gluten-free toast with jam for breakfast.

3. She Doesn’t Cheat

Does Megan ever indulge? Nope. "I don't have any cheat days," she told E! News. "But if I did, it would be pizza or cake."

4. She Doesn’t Drink

Megan recently revealed to GLAMOUR that she hasn’t taken a drink in a decade. "I'm always completely sober. I don't even drink a glass of wine. I don't ever smoke. I don't drink coffee. I'm super strict with my diet and I never deviate," she said. "When I was in Costa Rica, somebody described the purpose of alcohol with plant medicine: you use alcohol to extract the essence of a plant. And I thought, 'That is exactly how alcohol makes me feel. As though it is extracting my essence.' Which is why I have avoided it for so long."

5. She Thinks Social Media Is “Evil”

Megan avoids social media. “I have social media, but I don’t personally use it. I have somebody who posts for me and I decide what I want to say,” she told Glamour, adding, “but I think it’s sinister. I think it’s evil.”

6. She Drinks MGK’s Blood

Megan confirmed that she does drink the blood of her fiancé, Machine Gun Kelly. “Yeah. So, I guess to drink each other’s blood might mislead people or people are imagining us with goblets and we’re like Game of Thrones, drinking each other’s blood,” she told Glamour. “It’s just a few drops, but yes, we do consume each other’s blood on occasion for ritual purposes only.” She elaborated on her rituals. "I’m much more controlled. I read tarot cards and I’m into astrology and I’m doing all these metaphysical practices and meditations. And I do rituals on new moons and full moons, and all these things. And so, when I do it, it’s a passage or it is used for a reason. And it is controlled where it’s like, ‘Let’s shed a few drops of blood and each drink it.’ He’s much more haphazard and hectic and chaotic, where he’s willing to just cut his chest open with broken glass and be like, ‘Take my soul.’”

7. She Prioritizes Self-Care

Megan explained to Glamour that “self-care is enough quiet time to be able to connect to my super consciousness, my higher consciousness, connect to God, connect to spirit,” adding that she needs it. “And this lifestyle makes it very difficult sometimes. I do feel very lost when I’m not able to do that, so I have to have time to ground myself. And that is being able to do the metaphysical things that I like to do, the spiritual things that I like to do and having silence. I avoid my phone as much as I possibly can all the time, but there are times where I avoid it completely. The same thing with anything that has an LED light in it. And I just go back to what our bodies were made for, which is to be in nature and to be silent within ourselves.”

Megan Fox is getting in touch with nature via a photo shoot that highlights her feline physique to perfection. Fox, 37, shared pictures of herself posing on a tree branch in a green bikini, against a background of lush green leaves. “The forest is my oldest friend,” she captioned the post. “If this is what a wild animal looks like, I'd let it maul me,” commented partner Machine Gun Kelly. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Fox stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. Cardio, Weights, and No Carbs

Fox works hard to stay in shape—and she dodges ultraprocessed carbs. "I exercise really hard twice a week,” she says. “I got my [butt] kicked this morning before I came here! I do bursts of cardio with really heavy weights. Circuit training. I cut out all bread and those sort of carbohydrates. No crackers, no pretzels, no chips. Nothing unhealthy. The worst thing I put in my body is coffee, once a day… I don't have any cheat days. But if I did, it would be pizza or cake."

2. Pregnancy Exercise

Fox’s trainer Harley Pasternak says she continued working out throughout her pregnancies, starting with her son Noah in 2012. “We worked out throughout her entire pregnancy,” Pasternak says. “She was a model of health through the whole process. She really educated herself big time and had a great relationship with her physician so she really understood the safe boundaries of how to exercise and eat well during pregnancy. As a result, she knew how active she could be and she was very consistent and didn’t overdo it.”

3. Postpartum Workouts

Fox bounced back quickly postpartum thanks to a series of sensibly-designed workouts. “We used the exact same exercises as we did pre-baby,” Pasternak says. “We just focused more on the process and adjusted our program to suit her specific needs and limitations. The workouts we did are like all of my other Five Factor workouts. They are five phases: a minimum five minute cardio warm-up, a lower body sculpting exercise, an upper body toning exercise, then an abdominal sculpting exercise, and finally, a five minute cool down. We tried to have her do minimal impact. Post-baby there shouldn’t be a lot of jumping up and down.”

4. Healthy Smoothies

Pasternak says Fox loves making smoothies at home with seasonal berries, protein powder, and almond milk. "With almond milk being one of the more popular milk alternatives, I'm asked whether almond milk is a good source of calcium quite often," says Amanda Beaver, wellness dietitian at Houston Methodist. "Some organic brands aren't fortified with it, so be sure to check the label and get your calcium through other foods if needed. Better yet, be sure to choose an almond milk brand that is fortified with calcium."

5. Journey of Loving Herself

She might have an incredible, envy-inspiring figure, but Fox says she has suffered from body dysmorphia her whole life. “I have body dysmorphia,” she says. “I don't see myself the way other people see me. There was never a point in my life where I loved my body. There was never ever. When I was little, that was an obsession I had of ‘but I should look this way,’ and why I had an awareness of my body that young, I'm not sure. And it definitely wasn't environmental because I grew up in a very religious environment where bodies weren't even like, acknowledged. The journey of loving myself is going to be never-ending, I think.”
