Megan once made a Greek yogurt parfait with fruit and granola. Good choice. You could eat something like that on the Mediterranean diet. “What does breakfast look like when you're following the Mediterranean diet? Appealing and full of fiber-rich foods, such as fruit and whole grains, that can keep you feeling pleasantly full for hours. This version includes plain Greek yogurt, blueberries, apple slices, whole-grain toast and peanut butter,” says the Mayo Clinic.

2. She Held a “Hottie Bootcamp”

Megan’s bootcamp features high-intensity workouts and healthy eating. "This journey is not necessarily about losing weight but about me getting healthier in general and seeing how I can transform my body in the healthiest way possible," she went on to explain. "So this is just about me cutting things from my diet, adding things to my diet and figuring out what's best for my overall health."

3. She Tossed All Her Junk Food

"I like to snack and I like to eat whatever I want to eat. And I just feel like lately, the things that I’ve been eating have been not so good for my body,” she sais at the start of her Bootcamp. She added: "Throwing out thee junk food 🥺 Today I cleaned out the fridge to the best of my abilities 😂 ps. Untouched food was not shown and I will donate it I just had to show y’all my commitment to getting rid of the junk 💙."

4. She Does Squats

Megan was seen doing squats with a kettlebell. “When done correctly squats require an optimal ROM from the mobile joints of the ankle, hip and thoracic spine. If these joints are working correctly then performing an effective squat pattern should not cause any discomfort to a client, however if a client loses mobility from any of these joints that it could adversely affect the joints of the knee or lumbar spine which are designed for providing structural stability,” says ACE Fitness.

Get a punching bag to get your heart moving. “Cardio can mean anything from running and biking to jumping jacks and kickboxing. For strength training, bodyweight exercises, free weights or resistance bands can all be beneficial. Whatever workout you plan to do at home, try to mix in a combination of cardio and strength training that works for you and your goals,” says the Cleveland Clinic.

In her “Hottie Bootcamp” series, Megan is often seen using kettlebells in her at-home exercises. She even did an episode dedicated to her trainer, Tim Boutte’s 30 minute kettlebell challenge. In the episode, Boutte describes the challenge as “exercise for 30 seconds, then rest for 30 seconds,” and repeating this process. “It’s a total of five different kettlebell exercises, we’re going to try to repeat that thing three times, which would basically equate to about 15 minute workout,” he says in the episode. However, Boutte had Megan do the exercise five times and for 30 minutes in the episode. The workout consists of swings, goblet squats, Bulgarian squats, lunges, and suitcases, all with a kettlebell.

In an interview with InStyle, Megan revealed that she wants to take a break from making music. She says that she is still reeling from being shot by Tory Lanez, and wants to focus on healing. "Fans can expect new music when I’m in a better place,” she says. “Right now, I’m focused on healing. The music and entertainment industry can be a grind, so it’s important to take time off and avoid burning out. Life is all about balance."

2. She Doesn't Want To Discuss Things

Los,Angeles,-,Feb,12:,Megan,Thee,Stallion,Arrives,ForShutterstock

In a revealing interview with ELLE, Megan talked about her shooting incident, and why this interview will be the last time she is publicly discussing it. “My purpose is for these words to serve as the final time that I’ll address anything regarding this case in the press. I understand the public intrigue, but for the sake of my mental health, I don’t plan to keep reliving the most traumatic experience of my life over and over again. I’m choosing to change the narrative because I’m more than just my trauma.”

3. She Sees Herself As A Survivor

3d,Rendering:,A,Large,Crowd,Of,People,Gathered,Together,InShutterstock

Megan tells ELLE that she is no longer seeing herself as a victim, but as a survivor. “I don’t want to call myself a victim,” Megan said. “As I reflect on the past three years, I view myself as a survivor, because I have truly survived the unimaginable. Not only did I survive being shot by someone I trusted and considered a close friend, but I overcame the public humiliation of having my name and reputation dragged through the mud by that individual for the entire world to see.”

4. She Speaks Out

Megan isn’t afraid to speak her mind about causes that are important to her. In her ELLE interview, she says that she wants to help other women who have experienced abuse. “We can’t control what others think, especially when the lies are juicier than the truth. But as a society, we must create safer environments for women to come forward about violent behavior without fear of retaliation. We must provide stronger resources for women to recover from these tragedies physically and emotionally, without fear of judgment. We must do more than say her name. We must protect all women who have survived the unimaginable.”

5. She Removes Her Makeup

Megan has amazing skin, and she makes sure to take care of it. She shared her secrets with Harper’s Bazaar. Megan says that since she has to wear makeup for her work, she always makes sure to take it all off. “Every night before bed, I have to wash off the 20 pounds of makeup that I have on all day from doing hot-girl stuff, shooting on set, talking to cute boys. I just literally wash all the hot-girl stuff off, and then I put on a little moisturizer and a little Bio-Oil.”

In 2021, Megan Thee Stallion started a fitness journey and documented her newly adopted healthier ways. She launched a popular "Hottie Bootcamp" series on Instagram and in each video, she showed fans how she was making healthy lifestyle changes, including how she eats. "The things I've been eating are not so good for my body and have been slowing me down," she said in one video. She added, "This is about me just getting healthy in general and me seeing how I can transform my body in the healthiest way possible." Since then, Megan has remained committed to her boot camp and recently posted a video of an intense routine wearing tight blue short shorts and a matching top. And this weekend she posted a swimsuit photo of “Healing and Renewal.” Read on.


1. She's Consistent

Working out every now and then isn't going to produce great results, but Megan has been regularly hitting the gym and showing off her workouts. The artist does everything from weighted sled pushes to lifting heavy weights and her dedication shows--just look at her MTV Video Music Award outfits!

2. She Puts in the Hard Work

You can show up to the gym, but if you aren't putting in the work, positive changes won't happen. Megan works out hard and although she jokingly complains about the intensity of her training, she does it. "I do not suggest this if you're not trying to be a first responder, " she teased as she ran up in the sand."

3. She Does Cardio

In addition to strength training, Megan gets in cardio. Wearing super short black tie-dye shorts and a black top, the singer does the elliptical machine and dances around after showing off her results.

4. She Does HIIT

Megan recently teamed up with Nike coach David Carson to show how you can get an effective workout in without equipment in just 10 minutes. "I feel like I'm not scared of you no more," she joked to Carson. 'I'm ready for this workout." After their warmup, the two did squats, stand-up crunches, lateral lunges, and more.

5. She Switched Up Her Diet

To help kick off her health journey, Megan's trainer Timothy Boutte helped her throw out unhealthy food like chips, cookies, and other sugary snacks. He then stocked her fridge with healthier options like strawberries, blackberries, pineapple, avocados, almonds, sea bass, seasonings like paprika and chili pepper, and more.

Bianca Bustamante is revving up her engine in 2025 – in her workout gear. In a new social media post, the racecar driver reveals she is taking “the next major step” in her physical journey as a race driver “and I’ve set the target high!” she says in a new Instagram post, filled with video clips of herself lifting heavy weights at the gym. “Never been more motivated in my life, it’s not physically easy for a girl in this sport, but I’m super excited to take on this new challenge and the next big step on my racing journey,” she added. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here are her top lifestyle tips.

Lifting Weights

Bianca spends hours at the gym where she focuses on strength training along with endurance, cardio, reaction time, and reflexes. “You know, to be a driver, it’s a complete package. It takes strength. It takes mental fortitude. It takes reflexes, smart thinking, and survival skills,” she told MEGA Active. “Sometimes it's for the body, sometimes it's for the mind. Nothing more peaceful than early sessions,” she captioned an Instagram post of one of her sessions.

Double Down On Training

In her recent post, Bianca reveals that she working extra hard at the gym. “I’ve been working hard over the years to build a solid foundation, but in 2025, I’ll be working with @j_w_90 and I’m doubling down on my training. Increasing to two workouts a day not just on lifts but aerobic endurance, as well as a better focus on nutrition and rest, in order to raise the bar to compete in the higher formulas,” she said.

Fueling Your Body With Protein

Bianca makes sure to eat enough protein in order to build more muscle and stay as lean as possible to meet the weight requirement. “It’s been a really cool journey seeing my body develop and transform into this whole different person I never knew I could become,” she said. In her new post she added that she is meal prepping. “I’m soooo all in that im even learning how to cook & meal prep better than ever before,” she writes.

Taking Cold Plunges

As for recovery, cold plunging is part of Bianca’s training regime. Limited research supports the benefits of cold plunges, which may include easing sore muscles, bringing body temperature down, increasing focus, improving sleep, and decreasing inflammation, per the Cleveland Clinic. However, a 2021 study found that cold water immersion therapy promotes post-sport recovery.

Working On Self-Esteem

Positive self-talk is also important. “Of course, I put a lot of pressure on myself, but in the end, I always tell myself that as long as I give my best and I learn from it, any mistake I make is valid,” Bianca explained. “I always try to repeat that to myself that I am valid. I’m here for a reason and there’s nothing I would rather do than be here.”

Brenda Perlaza is flaunting her fantastic figure in a tiny bikini. In a new social media post the influencer, who calls herself La Barbie Negra, looks flawless as she poses on the beach in a neon yellow swimsuit. “#viral,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. “Wow Wow,” one of her followers commented, while several others added fire emojis. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Jogging

Brenda enjoys jogging. According to the Mayo Clinic, running is great for cardiovascular health, muscle building, and weight loss. “For every mile run, the average person will burn approximately 100 calories,” they say.

Walking Her Dog

She also takes her dog on long walks. 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.

Dancing

You can also find Brenda dancing to burn calories. Dancing is an excellent workout for many reasons. It builds strength and promotes flexibility, helps you lose weight, and even promotes cardiovascular function. A 2016 study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine determined that people who engaged in moderate-intensity dancing were 46 percent less likely to develop or die from heart disease than non-dancers. In comparison, moderate-intensity walkers were just 25 percent less likely to suffer heart health issues

Swimming

Brenda spends a lot of time in her swimsuit so it isn’t surprising she loves to swim. According to the CDC, swimming is a good way to get regular aerobic physical activity. Just two and a half hours per week of aerobic physical activity, such as swimming, bicycling, or running, can decrease the risk of chronic illnesses. In addition to the many physical benefits, multiple studies support the mental health benefits of swimming.

Hydration

Finally, Brenda hydrates, especially after a long workout or sun exposure. According to the Mayo Clinic, hydration is essential for various reasons. Water helps eliminate waste through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements, keeps your temperature regular, lubricates and cushions joints, and helps protect sensitive tissues.

Model and influencer Claudia Romani isn’t just making waves with her glamorous beachside posts—she’s living the healthy lifestyle to match. Recently, Romani shared a video on Instagram, taking a refreshing dip in the pool with the caption, “Kisses from the 305.” But her fitness routine goes beyond just swimming. From her plant-based diet to her dedication to animal welfare, Romani’s habits reflect a balanced approach to wellness that keeps her looking and feeling her best.

She Swims

As you can see from her Instagram post, Romani likes to go to the beach. Naturally, she likes to swim to keep herself in shape. Romani shared this video on Instagram of herself taking a dip in a pool. She captioned it, “Kisses from the 305.” According to The Cleveland Clinic, swimming has a lot of health benefits. “Like other forms of cardio, swimming can help you burn calories and lose weight. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a 154-pound person who swims slow freestyle laps for 30 minutes burns 255 calories. But that amount varies depending on your weight, speed and stroke.”

She's Vegan

Romani is open about following a vegan diet. She shares a lot of posts on her Instagram story highlights of herself enjoying vegan foods. The American College of Lifestyle Medicine states that being vegan has a lot of health benefits. “Overall, nutrition from plant-based diets is typically of higher quality than omnivorous diets, as assessed by the Alternative Healthy Eating Index (AHEI).28 A whole food plant-based (WFPB) diet is one made up of predominantly unprocessed fruits, vegetables, whole grains legumes, nuts and seeds, and excludes animal foods, with certain selective supplementation of vitamins B12. Sometimes D. Intentionally planned, WFPB diets provide sufficient nutrient intakes for all stages of life and can be therapeutic for chronic disease and overall health and healing.29 The plant-based dietary pattern protects against overconsumption of nutrients that lead to obesity and disease,30 particularly animal protein, saturated fat,31 trans-fats, cholesterol simple sugars,32 and sodium.33, 34”

She Loves Salads

A vegan food that Romani enjoys is salad. She shared this Instagram story of herself enjoying a vegan cobb salad.

It also provides a type of indigestible fibre, which can be beneficial for your gut health. Foods to consider including in your salad can be onions, garlic, kale, carrots, and asparagus.”

She Works Out Consistently

Romani makes sure to work out on a regular basis. She shares a lot of Instagram stories in her highlights of herself at the gym. The Mayo Clinic says that regular exercise is extremely important. “Exercise can help prevent excess weight gain or help you keep off lost weight. When you take part in physical activity, you burn calories. The more intense the activity, the more calories you burn. Regular trips to the gym are great, but don't worry if you can't find a large chunk of time to exercise every day. Any amount of activity is better than none. To gain the benefits of exercise, just get more active throughout your day. For example, take the

She Supports Animals

Romani has her own charity, Help Miami Cats. She talked about how she started this in the caption of this Instagram post. “❤️ Guys!!!! I have always loved cats and had many growing up. When I moved to Miami Beach I met a great calico named Chacha and learnt that cats were brought to the city by Mayor Lummus … against rodents. Cats rely on volunteers for their food and water and there’s a huge amount of them. There’s a city program to Spay and neuter with the wonderful @sobecats ladies and the feeding is made official by a City Sanctioned badge, yet new cats keep getting dumped daily sadly and there’s a never ending amount of work, emergencies and so on. I was on a feeding rotation but during the pandemic I was left alone caring for so many as people left town or couldn’t afford feeding anymore …I decided to start my own non profit @helpmiamicats . We feed close to 200 and when Batman got paralyzed took him and other special needs cats under my care … @stevensachs69 with the cat room and the amazing people involved devote their lives to these special souls … My life has changed a lot too … way less spare time, way more sweat and tears and lost the person I had by my side who had sadly other priorities … yet gained so much love from these lovely creatures !!! If you can please get involved in any way … follow @helpmiamicats , share, volunteer, adopt … donate … Only together we can make their world a better place !!! And yes … just me feeding the kitties and talking to them … 🤷🏻♀️👀😆❤️🙌”
