Rebel’s first step in getting healthy was publically setting her goals. "For the last few years, I've been theme-ing my years. So I had the 'Year of Fun,' last year I had the 'Year of Love,' and this year it's gonna be the 'Year of Health' because I turned 40 this year in March," she said an appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show. "I never really focused on my health, which was probably obvious. I was going all around the world jet-setting everywhere and eating a ton of sugar. That was kind of my vice. I have a very sweet tooth. I love desserts.”

2. She Celebrates Small Achievements

Rebel admitted to People that she shows off her weight loss "on Instagram shamelessly.” However, in the process she is staying accountable and celebrating each victory -- which helps motivate her to reach her next goal.

3. She Addressed the Mental Aspect of Physical Health

Rebel realized that physical health has a lot to do with mental. “I think because I approached it from all areas ... the biggest thing that I haven't ever worked on was the emotional side, what I suffered from, I guess, as classical emotional eating … so I really worked on that side," she told Extra about her weight loss.

4. She Found a Diet She Likes

Rebel found success with the Mayr Method was a relatively unknown diet. The star even stayed at their clinic, VivaMayr, where she detoxed via spa treatments, mental health sessions, and underwent a diet and fitness revamp. This included reducing gluten and dairy, eating high alkaline foods like veggies and fish and altering her dietary approach—including when and how she ate.

5. She Prioritizes Exercise

Rebel makes sure to get her workouts in. "This week was super busy but I got up super early 3 times (6am 😜) and went on a hike...even did a couple of 100m sprints to get the heart rate even higher (although my 'sprint' is probably someone else's 'slow jog' 😝) but I felt proud of myself and now only 3kg's away from my goal weight!" she wrote on Instagram.

6. She Is Proud of Herself

In a recent social media post including a photo of herself at her “unhealthiest” Rebel gave herself a major pat on the back. “I look back now at that girl and am so proud of what she’s become and achieved,” she wrote. “And just wanted to send out some encouragement to everyone out there struggling with weight or body issues or emotional eating. I feel you. I know what it’s like. But it’s never too late to start improving yourself and trying to be the best version of YOU possible. It’s not a race and it’s not a competition - it’s about respecting yourself and doing what’s best for YOU. So if you’re out there and reading this today, I just wanted to say: keep smiling and keep trying to be active! Love you guys.”

“Okay so I know that I normally post flattering photos of myself…but found this old photo in my emails and was like: whoa!” she started in her caption of a photo of herself standing next to tennis pro Novak Djokovic.

“I remember this was when I was at my most unhealthiest - being overweight and indulging way too much with junk food. Using food to numb my emotions,” she continued. “My father had passed away of a heart attack and it was such a sad time. I didn’t think highly of myself and wasn’t valuing myself how I should have. It’s interesting that I’m still smiling and still trying to be active - this was taken at a charity tennis tournament event (ps @djokernole is such a nice guy) - despite being in so much pain.”

She continued to talk about how she has so much pride in herself, encouraging others to start their own health journeys. “I look back now at that girl and am so proud of what she’s become and achieved. And just wanted to send out some encouragement to everyone out there struggling with weight or body issues or emotional eating. I feel you. I know what it’s like. But it’s never too late to start improving yourself and trying to be the best version of YOU possible. It’s not a race and it’s not a competition - it’s about respecting yourself and doing what’s best for YOU. So if you’re out there and reading this today, I just wanted to say: keep smiling and keep trying to be active! Love you guys.”

1. She Didn’t Focus on the Scale

Rebel tries not to pay attention to how much she weighs. “To me what the year of health was, was just being a healthier version,” she told Jamila Rizvi on The Weekend Briefing per Yahoo Australia. Her weight loss journey was actually motivated by improving her fertility and also curbing emotional eating. “It wasn't about losing a set amount of weight, although I did put a goal originally of 75 kilos so I could have something tangible to work towards. But it's not about a number or a dress size, or anything like that. It was just about being the healthiest version of me and I dedicated all of 2020 to doing that, and I'm proud of myself,” she added.

2. She Is Accountable

Rebel has no shame about flaunting her progress on social media, and admits she did “annoy some people” in the process. However, she explains that accountability is key. “I feel really good within myself and I like to celebrate the journey,” she explained. “And also, why I did it publicly was for accountability as well, because it’s all good and well just having a little experiment and if you don’t tell people about it you could just easily fail, whereas if I tell the whole world on social media, then that's pretty good motivation.”

3. She Isn’t Defined By Her Clothing Size

Rebel is proud of her journey, but she is more than just her clothing size. “I think people are beautiful in all different sizes, and I would feel just as confident rocking my size 16 dress as I do now. I’m about a size 8 now,” she told The Weekend Briefing. “I loved being bigger and it never stopped me from achieving anything in my life.”

4. She Prioritizes Sleep and Hydration

During the Q&A, Rebel revealed "adequate sleep, walking, hydrating, [and] drinking water" are a few of her top health secrets. "You'll always see me with a FIJI [water] in my hand, and balance it with the nutrition," she said.

5. Health Is An Inside Job

You are what you think, according to Rebel. “I think because I approached it from all areas ... the biggest thing that I haven't ever worked on was the emotional side, what I suffered from, I guess, as classical emotional eating … so I really worked on that side," she told Extra about her weight loss.

6. Her Diet Is Healthy

Rebel found a diet that worked for her, the Mayr Method. One of the major dietary changes she has made was reducing gluten and dairy, eating high alkaline foods like veggies and fish and altering her overall dietary approach—including when and how she eats.

7. She Exercises, No Excuses

Rebel prioritizes getting a workout in, even when she is busy. "This week was super busy but I got up super early 3 times (6am 😜) and went on a hike...even did a couple of 100m sprints to get the heart rate even higher (although my 'sprint' is probably someone else's 'slow jog' 😝) but I felt proud of myself and now only 3kg's away from my goal weight!" she wrote on Instagram.

While she used to spend "at least an hour every day, six days a week," at the gym, her approach to diet and fitness is less aggressive now. "When I was losing weight, I was doing quite aggressive workouts," she said. "With a baby, that's just an impossibility."

2. She Reduced Portion Sizes

Rebel has a few diet hacks. "I can't cut out carbs and sugary foods completely," she says. Instead, she "drastically reduced" portion sizes and fills up on protein. However, she doesn’t cut out food groups entirely. "I think that's a positive, that I'm not too focused," she says. "I'm not on any particular diet or anything like that."

5. She Walks

6. She Does At-Home Workouts

Rebel also does at-home workouts, incorporating her daughter into her routine. "I lift her up while squatting," she said. "I'll do stretching on a mat and put Royce next to me."
