1. She Carb Cycles

Scheana famously lost a ton of weight in 2016 by carb cycling. She started working with trainer-nutritionist Seth Browning on a carb-cycling plan, rotating days of eating carbs with days of totally skipping them. "When we first started I was doing three days of no carbs and one day of healthy carbs—and that helped kick my body into shape," she told Life & Style per Women’s Health. An average meal on a no-carb day? "Salmon with lots of grilled vegetables."

2. She Hydrates

Scheana also prioritizes hydration, drinking lots of water throughout the day. "That is the one thing I do every meal," she told Life & Style. "To determine how much water you need, Dr. Sukol suggests considering these four factors," says the Cleveland Clinic: "Activity level: If you work out a lot or are moving all day long, drink more water. Location: If you find yourself in a warmer climate or at higher altitudes, you’ll probably want to increase your water intake. Metabolism: If you think you have a speedy metabolism and your body seems to need more fuel to keep its engines revved, you may want to take some extra sips during the day. Size: The more you weigh, the more water your body tends to need."

3. She Works Out

Scheana also makes sure to break a sweat almost daily. She told Us Weekly that she trains hard four to five days a week, mixing up total body workouts with ones that are more focused on body parts, like a day strictly focused on legs, butt, or core.

4. She Is Transparent

She also makes sure to be totally transparent. “I realized that it’s so much more relatable putting your truth out there than trying to pretend that everything’s perfect,” she told Us Weekly. “Even just, like, getting Botox or fillers or stupid like things like that. I’m going to talk about what I do because it’s, like, no I don’t just look like this, or it’s makeup.”

5. She Is Open About Body Image Issues

Sheana struggled with body image issues after welcoming her first child in 2021. “In the beginning of the season, you’ll see a lot of that story play out,” Shay told Us Weekly when asked if she felt pressured to get back in shape after giving birth. “I know that you’re never supposed to compare yourself to others, but it was very difficult for me and kind of impossible, when I have another friend who just had a baby and [they] bounce back immediately. She’s strutting around in a string bikini and I’m trying to cover up, but still look cute.”

Chlöe Bailey is one of Hollywood’s hottest young celebrities. She started out as a duo with her younger sister, Halle.

Bailey and her sister Halle have a very close relationship. "I'm so grateful that I was placed on this earth with a sister, because I don't have to go through life alone," Bailey said to TODAY. "Because no matter how far apart we are, we're always probably feeling the same thing at the same time — even though it could be completely different situations, which I think is crazy."

2. She Uses Music As Therapy

Bailey talked about why she loves making music in her TODAY interview. "I have had the best time being able to create music and really show my confidence that's on the inside and put it into the music," she said. "And it's just been really fun. Music is therapy for me. And it is a little nerve-wracking knowing that the world hears your darkest and most inner thoughts. But it's so freeing."

3. She’s Grown Comfortable With Herself

Bailey opened up about her wellness in an interview with Peace of Mind with Taraji. She says that she has learned to love her body. “Ever since I was a little girl, I've always been curvy," Bailey said. "I remember the first time I got stretch marks — I was 12 at this field trip and we were hiking. I'm like, 'What is this?' I still have them all on my thighs. But as I've gotten older, I have learned to really appreciate my curves. I love my stretch marks."

4. She’s Not Letting Things Get To Her

Bailey has had to deal with a lot of criticism. However, she revealed in her Peace of Mind interview that she’s not letting things get to her. "I can't sit here and lie and say, 'Oh, I'm bulletproof, nothing hurt me,' because it honestly did," Bailey said. "And I think what hurt me the most was when I would see some post saying how I'm doing this for male attention, or I'm just trying to sell sex to get attention for myself. At first I was really getting sad about it, but then I told myself, 'Why would I let that control my thoughts and feelings when I know it's a lie?' I kind of had to not give it so much power. I'm not doing anything crazy, I'm just appreciating and loving my body, and I don't think there's anything wrong with that."

5. She Removes Her Makeup

Bailey and her sister are ambassadors for Neutrogena. She tells Refinery29 that she loves their makeup wipes. “The wipes are so gentle on your skin, and they don’t burn,” she explained. “They get everything off, including the stubborn, waterproof eyeliner, and that makes my routine so much shorter, especially for those nights when I feel really lazy.”

Clothing designer and Real Housewives of New York star Leah McSweeney is in Jamaica. And she just shared a lot of stunning photos on Instagram, including one of herself in a pink swimsuit.

1. She Loves To Box

McSweeney revealed on the Bravo podcast, The Daily Dish, that she loves to box. She even says that boxing has helped her prepare for all the drama and craziness of being a Real Housewife. “I mean, it’s such a psychological and mental strengthening exercise. It definitely helped me prepare.”

2. She’s Sober

In an interview with Yahoo Life, McSweeney revealed that she was sober, and had thought about making the choice to do so for a while. She said that the pandemic and lockdowns helped her make the choice to get sober. "I realized that it was gonna just go so dark so quick," she says. "…It's very hard to drink in a light and fun way during a once-in-a-lifetime pandemic when you’re stuck at home, and people are dying everywhere. So yeah, I think that that kind of definitely put it in a full-speed stop."

3. Her Take on Fame

“I’m kind of the same [since becoming a Housewife]. I’m the same, but my life is a little different. It doesn’t feel like anything is different, but I know it is. I am still shocked that people recognize me. I always think that it’s someone I know when they’re looking at me and they say, ‘Hi’—like I know them from somewhere. Obviously, I think the show gave my life a boost. I needed a little boost and that’s what it did. I will say that I am a lot busier than I have been in a while, but all good stuff,” she told NewBeauty.

4. She Has a Book Coming Up About Mental Health

“I think that one of the best parts about being on the show has been being able to reach people and to have conversations about different topics, like mental health,” she told NewBeauty. She was diagnosed with bipolar II. “I was stunned when it got brought up on the show. but in hindsight, I’m so happy it did. My book”—Chaos Theory: How to Embrace the Unexpected and Find Meaning in the Madness, coming out in April—“it’s going to cover a lot of that stuff, too. I feel like we have been in a collective mental health crisis…our world is upside down on so many levels, but I think that the conversation has been brought to the forefront. There’s still so much stigma around it, though. I think we still have a long way to go.”

5. She Has Done Anti-Workouts

“I just started posting these little work out videos to help me motivate myself to work out,” McSweeney, 37, told Page Six. “I called them ‘anti-influencer’ workouts because I am not a fitness influencer nor do I care to be.” These “non-workout workouts” involve yoga poses, too. “I’m not a professional,” she told us. “I’m just a regular chick trying to not let herself go during the quarantine.”

Amy Hart, the influencer and former Love Island star, is spending time at the well-known Hard Rock Hotel in Cancun. Naturally, she’s making sure to spend time at the beach, and post stunning photos. She posted a set of of herself in a strapless pink swimsuit with cutouts. She captioned it, “So obviously as an apparent influencer I have to take pictures and post them, easy yeah? Not for me. I hate all pictures of myself and then I get upset and then Sam gets upset coz I’m upset and it’s just one big circle. Today he had an idea to get up early, bring a few swimsuits down to the beach, shoot all of them and then be able to relax and not worry. Now obviously Sam used to be a model (ALDI hot cross bun man 2016 don’t you know) so he had gone full out creative director. Went on a location scout around yesterday, researched the geo tags on insta, found some poses on Google and then coached me through it all (whilst being my main hype man) and I don’t actually hate these pics!” How does she stay so fit?

1. She Walked Away From Reality TV

When Hart competed on Love Island in 2019, she made the choice to walk away from the show. She tells Glamour that she made this decision after realizing it would be healthier to leave. “It was 100% the best decision for me to leave when I did. If I had left before or after it would have been horrible but I left on good terms with everyone. Now I’m home, trying to heal and enjoying this weird new life I’ve got.”

2. She Chose Her Mental Health Over Followers

Going on Love Island, your main goal is to find love, but there is a benefit of fame and more followers on social media. However, Hart said to Glamour that she went on the show to find love, and she decided to choose her mental health over fame. “If you stay in longer, you’ll get more followers and you’ll get more work. I went in there to find love, I found it, it went horrendously wrong and I didn’t want to find love again so I needed to come out.”

3. She Ignores Trolls

Hart revealed to Glamour that when she left Love Island, she was welcomed by a lot of trolls on social media. However, Hart revealed that the show’s producers had prepped the contestants for social media backlash, and she was able to ignore the hate. “The old me would have clicked on it, read them all and cried but I didn’t look at it. I’m not interested in knowing what was said about me. I’ve now got so much positivity. I read it, I laugh, I block it.’

4. She Wouldn't Want to be Anyone Else

When Hart was on Love Island, she was there with several other beautiful women, and it could have been intimidating for her. However, she says that she is comfortable with herself and in her body, and she wasn’t insecure. “I did feel quite self conscious in there at times,” she admitted to Glamour. “Everyone in the villa is so beautiful but personally I’m happy that I’ve got a bum, boobs and that I’m a bit curvy. I wouldn’t swap it for anyone else.”

5. She Stays Healthy On Vacation

It can be difficult to stay healthy when you take a vacation, especially if you’re going alone. However, Hart revealed that she was able to keep a wellness routine on a solo trip she took. “Went on holiday on my own for the first time Had to overcome my social anxiety in order to make all my lovely juicy friends. did my first spinning classes and loved them. Did @bellicon_uk rebounding everyday and loved it! hauled myself out of bed everyday for a hike between 5-11km sometimes in a 5kg vest Jumped in a river. Has a reset ready to come home and start a new chapter! All in all a successful week!!”
