Megan relies on Harley Pasternak’s to kick her butt into shape. “After my second baby, I noticed that losing weight was much more difficult this time despite working out and counting calories,” she wrote on his website. She uses the health guru’s 5 Factor plan, which has helped everyone from Jessica Simpson to Ariana Grande get into the best shape of their lives. “Once I implemented the other three missing principles into my daily routine, I noticed an immediate result. I lost the remaining weight and felt leaner than I had prior to my first pregnancy.”

2. Her Diet Is Disciplined

Megan is very disciplined when it comes to her diet. "I don't have splurge foods. I either do something or I don't do it at all, and I'm doing this right now, so I have no cheat days,” she told E! “But if I was going to cheat, I would probably go with pizza or cake."

3. She Avoids Anything Processed

Fox avoids eating anything made with white flour or sugar. "I cut out all sorts of breads and those sorts of carbohydrates. No crackers, no pretzels, no chips, anything unhealthy. The worst thing I put in my body is coffee once a day," she revealed to E!

4. She Loves Smoothies

Megan fuels up on smoothies. "Megan's favorite is the red smoothie, which is whatever berries are in season, Chai tea, a scoop of protein powder and little bit of almond milk," Pasternak told People.

5. She Does Circuit Training

Megan relies on hardcore circuit training workouts. "I exercise really hard twice a week. That's what I do," she revealed to E! "I do bursts of cardio with really heavy, “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," Pasternak told People about what an average workout session for the star involves.

“I came into the world really bright and sunny and happy,” Fox recently told the CR Fashion Book as part of their upcoming “CR PARADE” issue. “However, at a certain point, I went through some trauma in childhood and I developed a pretty severe eating disorder and manic depression, which runs in my family, so there was definitely some wrestling with chemical imbalance going on,” she shared. Now? “I’ve been in this moment that has been very proactive and rewarding both emotionally and spiritually. I’m really happy with this moment,” she said.

2. Camila Cabello Heals

2021 MTV Video Music Awards - ArrivalsAxelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic

Cabello helped launch the Healing Justice Project, which distributed money to good causes. "As I learned more about other people's experiences in the world, I was like, 'How do I help the people who are on the frontlines of dismantling systems that create oppression? And how do I bridge that with my own personal journey with mental health and healing?'" Cabello, who has had anxiety, told People.

3. Madonna Made a Surprise Appearance

Madonna has sworn by a macrobiotic diet in the past. “It's true plant-based foods, such as fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts and whole grains, are packed with nutrition. And research has also shown that eating lots of them is linked with lower cancer rates,” says the Mayo Clinic.

4. Rita Ora is Disciplined

2021 MTV Video Music Awards - ArrivalsAxelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic

Ora is incredibly disciplined when it comes to her diet. "I've been the girl on tour who eats when she can and goes along when the band wants to go out all the time. But you just can't keep that up," Rita told Shape. "With the plan I'm on, you can eat quite a bit as long as you exercise." She starts her day off with two boiled eggs, asparagus, and half a cup of muesli with almond milk. "For lunch, I have chicken or fish with vegetables, and for dinner, I have six to eight ounces of fish with vegetables and half a potato. Plus snacks," she revealed. One thing she doesn't eat? Bread or sugar. "But I'm not starving myself. I used to be like, 'I'm not eating!' Eating isn't the problem, though. It's about what your body needs, and everyone's body is different."

5. Madison Beer Likes a Hot Bath

“My favorite way to wind down and end the day is with a hot bath. Today I’m using lavender essential oils and some Epsom salt to make for a really relaxing soak. I also usually light candles and listen to music to help myself unwind. Right now, I’m really into the new Tame Impala album, mixed with some classics like The Everly Brothers and The Beatles,” she told Refinery 29.

6. Ashanti Cut Out a Lot of Meat

2021 MTV Video Music Awards - ArrivalsAxelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic

“I cut out a lot of meat,” Ashanti told People. “I think again, self-health and self-awareness are so important. All of that stuff is so important to maintaining your body, knowing what’s in your food, the GMO’s and the chemicals, and I’m super aware of this stuff.”

7. Kourtney Kardashian is Into Organic

2021 MTV Video Music Awards - ArrivalsAxelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic

Kardashian hit the VMAs with boyfriend Travis Barker. “Some people know, but I’m crazy obsessed about food,” she once told the Coveteur. “I started going through my pantry last night and it was just making me so angry some of the ingredients that are in some of our snacks. I don’t do my grocery shopping a lot, because I just don’t have time, so I was reading and it looks healthy from the packages, but when you read the ingredients none of it is organic. I’m really into organic. I hate the whole GMO situation.”

8. Ciara is Committed

2021 MTV Video Music Awards - ArrivalsAxelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic

Ciara tries to workout at least four times a week. "What I learned by having that daily commitment—and it doesn’t mean that I go in the gym every day, because you need to let your body recover—but when I started to become more consistent, I realized how much better I felt, and how much easier my workouts became because it wasn’t so aggressive. That’s game-changing on the body and the mind. I feel like I can conquer the world on the days I work out, and it’s very rewarding," she told People.

9. Billie Eilish Has Been a Vegan

Eilish has been a vegan. "Most of us don't eat enough plant food, which is so important for heart health," Jason Ewoldt, R.D.N.,L.D., a wellness dietitian at Mayo Clinic Healthy Living Program, told the Mayo Clinic. “And, in a plant-based diet, Ewoldt says, you can eat virtually unlimited amounts of fresh or frozen fruits and veggies. Whole grains, legumes (beans), healthy oils, seeds and nuts round out a plant-based diet.”

Megan Fox, 35, has always been able to hold an audience’s attention, whether she’s running from Transformers or starring in the underrated Jennifer’s Body. Now she’s doing it again, this time in her latest film, Midnight in the Switchgrass, opposite Bruce Willis, Emile Hirsch and Sistine Stallone, and on the cover of the latest Basic Magazine. Read on for her very best fitness and diet tips—and the photos that prove they work—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bikini Photos!


1. She Does This Exact Workout

Megan has done the 5-Factor Workout. “We do 20 repetitions on each upper body, lower body, and abs and cycle through those three exercises nonstop, repeating the circuit four times,” said creater and trainer Harley Pasternak once. Same happened after Fox had her babies: “We used the exact same exercises as we did pre-baby. We just focused more on the process and adjusted our program to suit her specific needs and limitations.” Katy Perry and Rihanna are said to do the same workout.

2. She Eats These Exact Foods

Along with the 5-Factor Workout, Fox has done the 5-Factor Diet. It’s based on sound nutritional principles. You eat five meals a day with five core ingredients in each recipe, including proteins like egg whites, chicken breasts, salmon and non-fat cottage cheese, with a whole wheat grain component. "Protein is an essential nutrient in many different bodily functions, including fluid balance, enzyme production, and tissue repair and growth," dietitians tell Eat This, Not That!.

3. She Gave Up Drinking

Fox gave up drinking after a particularly memorable night at the Golden Globes, maybe one she’d actually like to forget. ​​"At the Golden Globes they always put those giant bottles of like Moet champagne on the table," Fox said. "I went through...multiple glasses of that,” Fox told Who What Wear. "And now I don't drink and this is why," she said, adding that she got “belligerent.” "I think I got in a lot of trouble for whatever I said on the red carpet at this event," Fox said. "I don't remember why, but I know that I did, you can look that up." (It may have been the time she said she was “on the verge of vomiting.”)

4. She Also Does Pilates

Fox has credited Pilates for her figure. “The objective of the regimen is to achieve a balance between flexibility and strength; increasing muscle size is not a goal,” says the Cleveland Clinic. “In developing his method, Pilates emphasized ‘contrology’ or the science and art of coordinated body-mind-spirit development through natural movements. He combined the eastern approach to exercise (calmness, centeredness) with the western approach (motion, muscle tone and strength) to develop what he considered the ultimate form of fitness: exercise without strain that cultivates power and grace.”

5. She Once Cut Out Carbs

"I cut out all bread and those sort of carbohydrates," she told E! Online a few years ago. "No crackers, no pretzels, no chips. Nothing unhealthy. The worst thing I put in my body is coffee, once a day." She added: "I don't have any cheat days," she said. "But if I did, it would be pizza or cake." As well as: "It's like giving up smoking. I gave up smoking cold turkey. I'm one of those people when I'm committed, there's no stopping me. So, I did it and after about a week, it repulses me. Like, there's bread over there and never again would I put that in my body."

This mom of three is a huge fan of #EmsculptNeo for strengthening my core and helping to heal my diastasis recti.”

One of Hewitt’s biggest skincare secrets? Keeping it moisturized. Hewitt shared her favorite moisturizer and lip balm with Good Housekeeping.

On Instagram, Hewitt revealed the secret behind her impressive eyebrows. "I have been using this product and I'm noticing people bringing up my brows. I don't have anything on them today really, except this product, but it's the Rare Beauty lifting gel stuff. I mean, Selena, 'thank you' is all I can say. I love it, so I'm going to put it up so that you know what it is, but that's what it is. That is the brow lifting that people are talking about. That's all I got."

She Does a Variety of Workouts

For Hewitt, fitness is all about variety. “I try to switch it up a bit,” she told OK! Magazine. “I’ve found that if every week I do something different it tricks my muscles into not getting used to doing any one thing. I’ve been doing pilates, I’ve been doing yoga, I’ve done just plain old walking. I wear 10 pound weights on my ankles while I’m working just so that as I’m moving during the day I’m constantly building muscle. It’s not great for your back but I’m doing it anyway. I do a booty workout thing that I just did for Shape, which was really fun. And I do Zumba. I have DVDs and I dance around like a crazy person in my house.”

She Builds Confidence

Hewitt tells People that she wants to build her confidence up. “I think I’m a work in progress,” she admits. “[But] I feel it’s so much better than [it was] a year-and-a-half ago, and I feel like in another eight months, it’s going to be so much better than it is today.”

She Wants to be a Role Model

Love what you look like right now – and remember I said it 10 years from now because it’s the greatest gift I can give.’”

Over the past few years, Sydney Sweeney has become one of America’s sweethearts with celebrated roles in everything from hit HBO shows Euphoria and White Lotus to big-screen movies Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and Anyone But You. In addition to her impressive acting ability, the star is a total bombshell and has one of the fittest figures in Hollywood. Here are the top 5 habits that help her stay fit at 27.

Water Skiing

Sydney has been water skiing since she was a toddler. “The moment I could walk, my mom put me on what’s called a U-board to learn how to ski,” she told Women’s Health. “I remember that whenever we would go by the docks of my grandma’s or my cousin’s house, I’d wave. I felt so cool because I could take off one hand. That’s my earliest memory of skiing, but I’ve been doing it as long as I can remember. It’s my favorite.” How does it help her achieve her amazing body? “It’s a lot of upper body strength, it’s balance, it’s core, it’s legs—you get tired really fast,” she says. “I see such a change in my body after an entire summer of [skiing]. My arms are stronger, more sculpted. My abs are rock solid. But I never look at it as a workout because it is so much fun,” she said.

Morning Workouts

Sydney mixes up her exercise routine, but likes to get workouts over with early in the day. “I like to work out in the morning, so I’ll either go for a run or I’ll go to Solidcore,” says Sydney. The high-intensity, low-impact Pilates-inspired workout “makes me feel so strong, but also elongated,” Sydney said about her sweat sessions. “I feel so good afterwards.”

Self-Care

Sydney engages in self-care activities. “I love to paint, and I love to read,” she said. “Those are the activities that are just for me.” One Harvard study published in Social Science & Medicine found that people who read books regularly had a 20% lower risk of dying over the next 12 years than those who weren't readers or who read periodicals.

She Walks and Hikes

One of the ways she treats her anxiety is by spending time outdoors with her dog, Tank. She takes him on walks or hikes. Going for a daily walk can be a game changer, especially at a brisk speed. One study published in JAMA Internal Medicine found that walking at a brisk pace for about 30 minutes a day reduced the risk of heart disease, cancer, dementia, and death, compared with walking a similar number of steps but at a slower pace.

Mariana Morais is showing off her ab-fab figure – in a two-piece exercise set. In a new social media post, the fitness influencer flaunts her fantastic figure in a brown sports bra and leggings. “Self Progress & Development is not always linear. Sometimes we take steps back & that’s just a sign to course correct so we can leap forward. If 2024 wasn’t the year you expected, use it as an opportunity to learn, grow, & carry on. It’s you VS you - continue to try, focus on consistency > perfection & you will prevail 🤎 rooting for us all to strengthen our mind & bodies this year,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Strength Training

Mariana relies on old-school strength training to keep her body toned. “Training till failure instead of reps + taking my ab routine up a notch by incorporating weighted exercises,” she wrote about one of her workout tactics. “I can feel my muscles being challenged and am in tune with my movements.” According to the Mayo Clinic, strength and weight training help reduce body fat, preserve and increase lean muscle mass, and burn calories more efficiently. Strength training may also help you:

  • Develop strong bones
  • Manage your weight
  • Enhance your quality of life

Other healthy habits? “Prioritizing digestion,” she writes in the same post. “Making sure I get enough fiber & starting off every morning with a juice cleanse. This has helped me feel so much better everyday.” She also gets regular blood work done. “So important to check your levels and know what’s going on in your body routinely! Don’t skip the doc apts, always better to be preventative.”

Hiking

Mariana enjoys hiking. “Elevation therapy,” she captioned a post from one of her fitness adventures. According to the National Parks Service, the physical benefits of hiking include:

  • Building stronger muscles and bones
  • Improving your sense of balance
  • Improving your heart health
  • Decreasing the risk of some respiratory issues

Mariana does reformer Pilates. “POV: Stepping into the prettiest torture chamber,” she wrote across a video of herself at the studio. Why is Pilates a good workout? According to the Mayo Clinic, the workout has many benefits, as it “strengthens the body's inner core while increasing its flexibility, resulting in improved overall health.” It can also promote longer, leaner muscles, injury prevention, stress and back pain relief, enhanced athletic performance, and heightened mind-body awareness.

Emsculpt NEO

Mariana recently got an aesthetic body treatment, Emsculpt NEO. “I’ve heard all the rage about the benefits to spot reducing fat & toning muscle so I had to give it a try to target those pesky lower abs. It was a 10/10 & a great addition to my workout routine,” she wrote.
