1. Take Care of Your Health

Thin for most of her life, Savannah started to gain weight in 2019 due to endometriosis. “I was on a medication and the highest dose possible for six months, and I gained about 30 pounds within the six months,” she told Life & Style in July 2020. She would “work out like crazy” and “try to eat right” but she simply couldn’t drop the weight. “I mean, it was hard,” she said. “There was nothing I could do to control it.”

2. Try a Low Carb Diet

Savannah swears by the South Beach diet. She explained to Fox News that the low-carb diet taught her how to eat right. “It’s about progress, not perfection. South Beach Diet has given me control. It’s taught me moderation, portion sizes and that a keto-friendly lifestyle works. I am so proud of how far I’ve come since this time last year and I feel better than ever,” she said. What does she eat on the diet? "We make lasagna but with zucchini instead of noodles. We're taking some of her recipes and making them healthier. We did a kale salad, which is my go-to and everyone in the family loves it, except Todd. He’s a lost cause. But Grayson loves it. So it’s just fun coming up with recipes that are healthier, but the kids love too because I want to start teaching them that it is important to start living healthy younger,” she said. As for snacks? "I mean, chips and guac are my go-to, but I’ve learned to substitute the chips for cucumbers. It’s not the same but it works. And like I said it also follows along with the South Beach Diet because it doesn’t have carbs in it,” she explains to Us.

3. Eat Right

“My weight fluctuates and that’s just called being a woman and loving food,” she told Fox News. “I believe that being healthy starts from the inside. Eating right helps my moods tremendously. If I’m feeding my body great food, then my moods and life will thrive. I want to be healthy for my family and my future children.”

4. Don’t Focus on the Numbers

Savannah explained to Fox News that muscle weighs more than fat. “I lost about 20 pounds and then gained about 10 pounds back due to muscle because I’ve been lifting weights,” she explained. She also likes boxing.

5. Practice Self-Love

A hot body starts with self-love, says Savannah.“For a long time, I compared myself to so many other people because I felt like I just didn’t measure up,” she told Fox News. “I wasn’t good enough. I kept hearing ‘you’re too big’ or ‘you’re too skinny.’ I have realized that if I am happy and I love me, then no one else’s opinion matters. Loving yourself is the key to being fit, in my opinion.”

6. Cheat

Savannah eats healthy most of the time. “I still have cheat days, cheat weekends and cheat meals, but I jump back on to the South Beach diet,” she told Us. "The South Beach Diet, which is named after a glamorous area of Miami, is sometimes called a modified low-carbohydrate diet. The South Beach Diet is lower in carbs (carbohydrates) and higher in protein and healthy fats than is a typical eating plan. But it's not a strict low-carb diet," says the Mayo Clinic.
