“What I’m hoping is that people realize that this is a lifestyle,” explained Danica on Good Morning America, “I want them to develop a good relationship with food and exercise to not be a reward or punishment but a way of life and something that makes you feel good and something that makes you a better you every single day.” For permanent change that will stick, it has to be seen as a lifestyle adjustment and a long term commitment. There are countless benefits to exercise, as seen on the Mayo Clinic’s website.

3. She Looks at Food like it’s Medicine

“You are creating your life day by day with your thoughts. Think positive things. Believe in yourself. Have great reasons for why you’re doing what you’re doing,” Danica said to Fitness Reaper. “Eat good food because food is medicine. You’re either adding to your well-being or reducing your well-being.” Eating the right foods gives your body important nutrients and vitamins it needs, keeping you energized.

So no grains, no dairy, no beans or legumes, no added sugars or preservatives. Instead, you focus on naturally raised meats, vegetables, fruits, and nuts,” said Danica. “My intention was to only do it for a week or two to reset my body with less sugar and more veggies. Well . . . I felt so good, and saw such amazing results, that I never quit.”

5. She’s Changes Her Workouts
