In the rare selfie, she smiles wide for the camera, enjoying a day in the sun. How does the reality star maintain her fit physique? Read on to see 5 ways Savannah Chrisley stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. She Stays On Top of Health Issues

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. She Follows a Low-Carb Diet

Savannah is a South Beach diet devotee, telling 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 dished to Us. “I still have cheat days, cheat weekends and cheat meals, but I jump back on to the South Beach diet.”

3. Her Weight Fluctuates

“My weight fluctuates and that’s just called being a woman and loving food,” Savannah 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. She Lifts Weights and Boxes

Savannah exercises in order to build strength. “I lost about 20 pounds and then gained about 10 pounds back due to muscle because I’ve been lifting weights,” she told Fox News. Boxing is another one of her go-to workouts.

5. She Practices Self-Love

Savannah emphasizes the importance of self-love. “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.”

1. She Works Out Early in the AM

In an Instagram Story posted in September 2020, Burruss revealed that she had gained 20 pounds during quarantine. “The beginning of COVID, I was working out and I was in shape. And even then, I wanted to lose 10 pounds, but I ended up getting lax and comfortable and I ended up gaining 20. So that means I have 30 pounds of which I really would like to lose. And I just want to better myself overall. I just want to get used to making working out a part of my regular routine,” she said. She started working out with her cousin Patrick. “He’s a trainer,” she revealed. “He got up and came to my house at 7 a.m. for us to work out. It’s gonna be our regular time. So, I hope that I can stick to this.”

2. She Cut Sugar and Bread From Her Diet

In March 2021, she revealed that her weight loss journey was successful. “I’ve lost 20 pounds since November,” she told Hollywood Life. “I want to lose 10 more pounds.” She also revealed that cutting out two things from her diet was the game changer: Sugar and bread. “I took out all sweets,” she said. “I stopped eating all sweets, bread.”

3. She Only Drank Water

Another way that Kandi achieved weight loss success, was eliminating all sugary beverages. “I only drank water, no juices, anything,” she added to Hollywood Life. "So how much fluid does the average, healthy adult living in a temperate climate need? The U.S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine determined that an adequate daily fluid intake is," says the Mayo Clinic:

• "About 15.5 cups (3.7 liters) of fluids a day for men
• About 11.5 cups (2.7 liters) of fluids a day for women

These recommendations cover fluids from water, other beverages and food. About 20% of daily fluid intake usually comes from food and the rest from drinks."

4. She Took Appetite Suppressants

Kandi also admitted to taking appetite suppressants, “so I didn’t feel hungry all of the time,” she told Hollywood Life. “I’m not even going to lie to you, I needed a little help, so it just helped me stay on course.” BE careful before taking any supplement for weight loss. "It's important to do your homework if you're thinking about trying a weight-loss supplement. Check credible websites, such as those run by the U.S. Office of Dietary Supplements and the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health," says the Mayo Clinic. "Also be sure to talk with your doctor before taking any supplement. This is especially important if you have health problems, take prescription drugs, or are pregnant or breast-feeding."

5. She Fasts

Kandi is also a fan of fasting. “I always do this prayer fast during the first month of the year,” Kandi told Hollywood Life. “But I actually did it for 2 months. December, January.” There is another type of fasting called alternative day fasting. "Followers of alternate day fasting adhere to a schedule that switches back and forth between eating and fasting. Those who abide by this diet alternate between one feast day and one fast day, which typically includes a 500-calorie meal," says our sister site Eat This, Not That! "The trick is to make sure you are still eating healthy on days when you are not fasting," Heather Hanks, MS CAM, nutritionist and medical advisor at Medical Solutions BCN, told Eat This, Not That!. "If you overindulge in calories from refined sugars and carbs, you'll throw your insulin and hunger hormone levels off and wind up storing more glycogen than you're burning."

Sarah often shared videos and posts of her workouts with a goal of gaining strength and muscle. After being diagnosed with kidney dysplasia and undergoing a transplant, in addition to other health issues like endometriosis, it’s been hard for her to really hit it hard in the gym.

“I haven’t really been able to work out the past four months,” Sarah told PEOPLE. “It’s just been putting me in a more anxiety ridden place. You have all of these plans and something happens where you’re not able to do it.” That said, she slowly works on things like resistance training, not pushing her body too hard, but doing what she can to the fullest.

3. She Prioritizes Strength

4. She Has Fun

I’ve been down before and I’ll probably be down again in my lifetime but I’m steadfast and solid and will conquer my obstacles.” Sarah is really loving seafood, which is a great way to get some lean protein in your diet. Besides the health benefits, it tastes great!
