Rebel’s first secret to weight loss is focusing less on the number on the scale and more on her overall health. “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. “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.”

2. Accountability Has Been Key

Rebel constantly shares photos of her health journey on social media, even though it may “annoy some people,” she explains. “I feel really good within myself and I like to celebrate the journey. 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. Rebel Loves Herself No Matter Her Clothing Size

Rebel explained to The Weekend Briefing that her weight loss hasn’t made her love herself any more than she already did. “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 said. “I loved being bigger and it never stopped me from achieving anything in my life.”

During her recent Q&A, Rebel revealed that a few healthy habits help her stay in shape. "Adequate sleep, walking, hydrating, [and] drinking water," she said. "You'll always see me with a FIJI [water] in my hand, and balance it with the nutrition.”

5. Health Is An Inside Job

Physical health is an inside job, per 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 explained to Extra about her weight loss.

6. She Is On a Diet

Rebel follows the Mayr Method diet, even visiting the VivaMayr clinic a few times, detoxing via spa treatments, mental health sessions, and undergoing diet and fitness revamps. One of the big changes she made to her diet was reducing gluten and dairy, and amping up high alkaline food intake like veggies and fish and altering her dietary approach, which includes when and how she eats.

7. She Exercises

Rebel makes sure to slip in a workout, even when she is extremely 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.

Actress Rebel Wilson and her sister enjoyed a beach day, and they made sure to look cute. The sisters wore a matching set of pink one-piece swimsuits. She captioned the photo, “The Wilson sisters for the WIN!” After a "Year in Health" during which she lost more than 70 pounds, Rebel has come a long way since she used to be at her "most unhealthiest—overweight and indulging way too much with junk food. Using food to numb my emotions.” How does she stay so fit?

While Wilson is eating healthier, she does admit to People that she isn’t cutting all her favorite indulgences out.

4. She Doesn’t Obsess Over Her Weight

Wilson tells People that she doesn't obsess over her weight anymore, and that she is avoiding using the scale too much, and encourages others to do the same. “I would say to everyone out there don't be obsessed about how much you actually weigh,” she says. “It's more about all the healthy practices, and then the changes to your whole lifestyle.”

In a recent interview with Women’s Health, the newish mom revealed how she is maintaining her 100-pound weight loss while juggling the duties of motherhood. 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."

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."

1. She Gets Enough Sleep

Wilson spilled some of her wellness secrets to Byrdie. She says that she makes sure to get enough sleep each night, and does things to do so. “I love the sleep gummies because I think I'm now addicted to the taste, and also, it's got melatonin and l-theanine. I take them about 20 minutes before sleeping. A good night's sleep is very important so you can go crush the next day.”

2. She Walks

Wilson recently lost a lot of weight, and she did so by working out. She revealed to Byrdie that the exercise that is most effective for her is walking. “For my body type, the way that I can lose unnecessary body fat is moderate walking. So not fast-paced, not power walking, just regular walking for an hour a day. And to me, that's my favorite kind. I can put on a podcast or audiobooks [while I'm walking]. I'm usually listening to something motivational or self-help related, and it's such a positive thing to do.”

3. She Uses An Ice Roller

Wilson has amazing skin. She tells Byrdie that she has started to prioritize her skincare, and recently purchased a new product. “I just bought this ice roller from Amazon for 20 bucks. You use it, especially under the eyes and on the jawline, and it just kind of really snatches everything first thing in the morning before you put your makeup on. I mainly only do it for filming days. They're like the jade rollers, but I kind of like the ice element of this one because It just depuffs your face.”

4. She Weight Trains

In addition to walking, Wilson likes to hit the gym. She tells Byrdie that she does a lot of weight training. “When I'm not shooting, it's really good to come into the gym and do weight exercises to mix it up compared to just walking.”

5. She Goes On Wellness Retreats
