Kim Kardashian is undeniably one of the most recognized faces on the planet. Entrepreneur. Mom. Social media maven. Icon. The Keeping up with the Kardashians star is known for many things, but it's her fit figure and curves that people seem to love talking about. For over a decade the reality star has been turning heads and frequently landing on the cover of magazines showcasing her famous assets. The mother of four looks incredible, so how does she do it? CelebWell reached out to dietitians to comment on her approach. Keep reading to find out her diet and fitness tricks—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bathing Suit Photos!

1. Trick #1: Eat the Right Carbs

Kardashian shared on her app in 2018, via Harper's Bazaar: "My trainer Mel [Melissa Alcantara] always says that before and after you train, you should eat simple carbs, like sweet potatoes, and small amounts of fat and protein, like chicken. You should also have veggies with your meals, since you need them to help effectively break down and absorb your protein, fat, and carbs." "Carbs are an important source of energy," says Sandy Younan Brikho, MDA, RDN, Registered Dietitian with The Dish On Nutrition. "Eating the right amount of carbs before training will help you have enough energy to perform well in both endurance training and resistance training. There are two different kinds of carbohydrates: simple and complex.

Simple carbohydrates are digested fast and therefore provide you with short-term energy, which can leave you feeling low on energy at the end of your workout. However, complex carbohydrates are digested slower and therefore would provide you with enough energy to get you through your entire workout.

Examples of simple carbs:

Cookies

White bread

Fruit Juice Concentrate

Soda

Breakfast Cereal

Examples of complex carbs:

Potatoes

Oatmeal

Whole grain bread

Beans

Fruits

When you workout, your body’s glycogen stores are utilized as fuel, so consuming carbohydrates after a workout will help you restore them again. Overall, consuming carbohydrates before and after training will help you stay healthy and reach your weight loss goals by properly fueling you for your workout so that you are energized and fueled enough to complete it, and replenish what you lost after your workout. As you exercise and build more muscle, your metabolism increases and this further aids you in reaching your weight loss goals. Carbs are an important part of your diet and should always be incorporated in order for you to have a balanced diet."

2. Trick #2: Avoid Processed Food

One of the ways Kardashian maintains her famous curves is by not eating processed foods. "I want her to eat real food that’s cooked every day," Alcantara told People. "Most likely if it comes out of a box, it’s not going to be good for you." Ronald Smith, a registered dietitian, explains, "Processed foods, like those found in vending machines and the snacks at convenience stores, are so bad for you for a number of reasons. They are generally high in sodium, likely to have trans fatty acids, and have many other unhealthy additives. Although improved nutrition labeling has made it easier for individuals to identify some of these unhealthy ingredient alterations, many processed foods are still hiding their additives in different names or ingredients that aren’t listed on the ingredients label. Instead, take a fresh look at what is on your menu. Many convenience foods found in vending machines and certain food establishments are less nutritious than they seem. Processed food is basically food that has been changed to improve and extend its shelf life. The food additives might not look, smell or taste any different but they are out there nevertheless. Processed foods are very difficult to spot because they can be found in the most unexpected of places. There is this idea that it is what you eat and how much of it that matters but the truth is that it is also crucial where it comes from and how it was prepared. Processed foods often cause weight gain, diabetes or lead to other diseases. Avoiding processed foods can be an effective way to drop the pounds and keep them off. Processed foods are often higher in calories than their naturally occurring counterparts, and just as often contain added sugars and what is referred to as 'empty' calories.”

3. Trick #3: 6 Day a Week Workouts

Alcantara told Women's Health that the 41-year-old is a "badass mom" Kim will never cancel on her, no matter how early it is or how busy her day looks. Alcantara said that Kim is "super responsible, she never cancels—she's the best client and athlete you could have." Reda Elmardi, a Registered Dietician, certified nutritionist, Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist Trainer, and owner of thegymgoat.com says, "Training six times a week can be beneficial for your body if done properly. If you are looking to get stronger, then you should train at least three times per week. However, if you are trying to improve endurance, then four times a week would work better. You should not train too much each time. This could lead to overtraining and cause injuries. Make sure that you have enough rest between workouts. This allows your muscles to recover from the previous workout. Try to do a variety of exercises. Do some cardio, weight lifting, and plyometrics. These different types of exercise help keep your body strong and healthy. When doing any type of exercise, make sure that you warm up first. This helps prevent injury and increases blood flow to your muscles. Don't forget about stretching! Stretching before and after working out prevents muscle soreness and increases flexibility."

4. Trick #4: She Tried Two Workouts a Day for 30 Days

Last year, the reality star and her sister Khloe Kardashain did two workouts a day for 30 days to start 2021 off right. She wrote on Instagram: "Sister Boot Camp Starts This Month. Plant based and two workouts a day for 30 days to get our mind and body right this year!" Elmardi explains, "The human body needs exercise to stay healthy. If you don't work out regularly, your muscles will become weak and flabby. You'll have trouble doing everyday activities like walking, climbing stairs, carrying groceries, etc. Regular workouts can help prevent heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity, depression, arthritis, osteoporosis, stress, anxiety, and even cancer. If you're not used to exercising, then start slowly. Don't overdo it at first. Start off with 30 minutes of cardio exercises (like running) three days per week. Gradually increase your time until you reach 60-90 minutes. Some people are naturally leaner than others. They may need less exercise than other people. However, if you're overweight, you should still try to get some form of physical activity into your life. Try swimming, biking, hiking, dancing, yoga, aerobics, weight lifting, tennis, racquetball, squash, basketball, football, soccer, volleyball, golf, bowling, skiing, snowboarding, skateboarding, surfing, and many other sports."

5. Trick #5: Sprinting

Alcantara previously told Women's Health they'll up the intensity a few times a week with 10 minutes of sprints. And, fun fact, this is Kim's least favorite part of her workout routine. "She hates sprints," Alcantara said. "But she does them still, no problem. She knows that the worst" stuff "is the thing that works." Elmardi states, "Sprinting helps people lose weight because it burns calories. You burn about 100 calories per hour while running at a pace that is faster than your normal walking speed. This means that if you run for 30 minutes, you would have burned 300 calories. If you are not used to exercising, then this may seem like a lot of work. However, if you are already active, then you can expect to burn around 500-600 calories after just 20 minutes of sprinting. If you are looking to get into shape, then you need to start running. If you want to lose weight, then you need to run. If you want to build muscle mass, then you need to do some form of cardio exercise. Running is the best way to burn calories and fat. You can use this information to your advantage if you're trying to lose weight."

Although there's a hundred trendy diets out there and products that promise miracle cures that "melt fat"—especially on celebrities' Instagram accounts—the following famous women have found techniques that help them shed pounds that don't rely on gimmicks or the latest fads. They just work, pure and simple. And the best part is anyone can do them! CelebWell spoke with experts who revealed why these six ways could help you star in shape. Read on to see all 6—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bathing Suit Photos!

1. HIIT Training

Baby2Baby 10-Year Gala Presented By Paul Mitchell - CocktailsStefanie Keenan/Getty Images

Molly Sims stays fit by doing HIIT Training. She stated on her blog, "I used to be that girl who wouldn't pick up the 2-lb weights at SoulCycle with the fear that I'd bulk. That mentality has shifted drastically." Marius Varzaru, a registered dietitian and personal trainer with Strenthgang, explains why it's so effective. "High intensity interval training (HIIT) is a cardio training technique in which phases of high-intensity exercise are alternated with low-intensity phases," he says. "Generally, a training session lasts less than 30 minutes, and each exercise is performed between 20-90 seconds. HIIT increases the thermogenic effect in your body, which increases the length of time your body burns calories during the day. So with just under 30 minutes of work per day, your body keeps burning more calories than usual for hours to come. Furthermore, many of the exercises that make up the foundation of a HIIT workout use all the major muscle groups in your body. This is why, in some cases, HIIT was associated with muscle mass gain, and an effective way to stay in shape."

"So in Molly Sims' case," he continues, "HIIT cardio is a time efficient way to burn fat and also work all the major muscle groups, to the extent where she keeps looking fit year round."Adds Latonya Fore MSN, APRN-CNP and obesity and weight management specialist: "HIIT or high intensity interval training involves repeated bouts of high intensity or 'all out' workout followed by recovery. You perform a high intensity exercise, like a running sprint for 60 seconds followed by a 60 second recovery. Then you repeat the cycle for 8 to 10 repetitions. HIIT not only improves your aerobic and anaerobic performance but it also improves your insulin sensitivity, which is key to weight loss. HIIT also increases post exercise metabolism, which means you continue to burn fat after the exercise is complete."

2. Apple Vinegar and Lemon Water

Spice Girl Victoria Beckham starts her day off with apple vinegar and lemon water. "First thing I do every morning is… 2 tsp of Apple Cider Vinegar," Beckham revealed on her Instagram story. "Followed by… fresh lemon squeezed into boiling water." Fore says, "The research is inconclusive regarding the benefits of apple cider vinegar for weight loss and maintenance. There are some studies that show apple cider vinegar may reduce total cholesterol and fasting glucose levels. The acidity of the apple cider vinegar and lemon can cause slight nausea after in the morning, which may help control the appetite and cravings later in the day. Starting the day with a protein and complex carbohydrate, like a greek yogurt and granola, would also control the appetite and cravings, without the bitter taste." Just don't skip the water part—lemon-flavored or otherwise, it's an essential key to staying your healthiest.

3. Lunges

Julianne Hough, 33, always looks amazing and one way she maintains that killer body is by doing lunges. The pro dancer shared an Instagram video of a workout that included lunges and Fore states, "Lunges or lunging is a form of resistance training. Resistance training also raises your resting metabolic rate so you continue to burn fat after the workout. You can perform this exercise using your body weight alone or with dumbbells. What makes lunges so great is because this exercise uses several muscle groups including the quadriceps (thighs), gluteus maximus (buttocks), hamstrings, and the core."

4. Intermittent Fasting

Brooke Burke, 50, has always been into health and fitness, and it shows! The TV host and fitness guru spoke to CelebWell in September, 2021 and revealed how she likes to do intermittent fasting. "I intermittently fast most every day," she told us. "I give myself a resting window of 16 hours, and I eat in an eight-hour window. It's 1:30p right now and I'm breaking my fast. I'm having a shake which is high in calories and in fat, which is totally okay. It has protein, matcha, MCT oil, dates, almond butter, one Tru Niagen stickpack, collagen powder, and cinnamon." Jordan Trinagel, a Licensed Occupational therapist and online health coach states, "Intermittent fasting has been used in ancient healing ayurvedic medicine for decades and has been shown to; let the digestive system rest, detoxify it, and restore and reset the body's systems and improve overall function. A common breakdown is to fast for 14-16 hours and then eat for a period of 8-10 hours, however it is recommended to consult a doctor and not sustain fasting for an extended period of time."

5. High Protein Diet

2021 AACTA Awards Presented by Foxtel Group - ArrivalsDon Arnold/WireImage

Rebel Wilson has lost 77 pounds and credits one of the ways she lost so much weight to a high protein diet. The Pitch Perfect actress told People, “Before I was probably eating 3,000 calories most days, and because they were normally carbs, I would still be hungry,” the star said. “So, I've really changed to eating a high-protein diet, which is challenging because I didn't used to eat a lot of meat. I eat fish, salmon, and chicken breast.” Trinagel says, "Studies show that a high protein diet can help with weight loss because it decreases the hormone ghrelin, which makes you hungry. Protein is broken down into building blocks called amino acids which can be categorized as essential and non-essential. They are called essential because you can only get them through your diet, non-essential meaning that your body can make them on its own. So, it is suggested that at least 30% of calories should come from protein to help you lose weight. Also, protein builds muscle and the more muscle you have the more effective your body is at shedding fat."

6. Eating Veggies

One way Elizabeth Hurley keeps her figure is by eating veggies. The 56-year-old told the U.K 's Sunday Times, "I think one of the most transformative things that I've done is making 50 percent of what I eat vegetable matter....If you have a slice of toast for breakfast, have an apple too. Counteract everything with vegetables." According to Trinagel, "fruits and vegetables contain antioxidants, nutrients and minerals and have been associated with lower oxidative stress and inflammation which can counteract insulin resistance. Insulin resistance or sensitivity make it difficult for your body to convert glucose into usable energy and negatively impacts blood sugar levels leaving you with stubborn fat."

Kendall Jenner has been modeling since her teenage years and the 26-year-old works hard at staying in shape. The reality star has opened up in interviews over the years, sharing her diet tricks that anyone can actually do and her eating habits aren't as strict as you might think! CelebWell chatted with experts who reveal how Jenner's diet helps her maintain her great figure and why it works. Read on to see 5 ways Kendall Jenner stays in shape and the photos that prove they work—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bathing Suit Photos!

1. Drinking Plenty of Water

Staying hydrated is one of Jenner's ways of staying in shape, according to Healthline. "Hydration is another key component of her diet. She drinks plenty of water and sometimes drinks up to 12 cups (2.8 liters) of detox tea per day," the site reports. Bess Berger, a women's health registered dietitian Nutrition by Bess explains, "Water helps with weight loss in a few ways. First, about 75% of people have their thirst and hunger mechanism confused. That means that sometimes when one thinks they are hungry, they are really thirsty. This can easily result in us eating more! If we make sure we are adequately hydrated, we can end up decreasing eating when we are actually hungry. Our metabolism needs to be adequate hydration to keep up to its optimal speed. If our body senses we're low on hydration, it slows down a bit. So keeping adequately hydrated is also helpful with weight loss."

2. Eating Lots of Fruits and Veggies

The supermodel incorporates a variety of fruits and vegetables into her diet to help maintain her slim figure. She will post on Instagram from time to time an image of what she's eating, which is oftentimes a salad or healthy dish that includes a rainbow of veggies. Brooke Nicole, a Nutrition Consultant with a Master's degree in Public Health says, "Limit your food intake of sugar, salt, and refined carbohydrates, while eating plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, soy products, as well as some good fats that contain omega 3 fatty acids. Mediterranean dietary patterns and diets composed largely of vegetables, fruit, whole grains, legumes, and soy have been proven to lead to weight loss and a healthy heart."

3. Snacking Throughout the Day

The second youngest member of the Kardashian klan admits to snacking and it's not always healthy! According to The Thirty, when revealing on her app the foods she is a fan of, she said, "Here's what will forever and always make my list: Twix, Justin's Peanut Butter, chips and guac, and hummus and carrots. See, pretty simple—just feed me and I'm ready to go." Berger states, "As a women's health dietitian, I advise clients a tremendous amount about snacks. Snacks can actually make or break a healthy diet. I hear over and over again that one is eating healthy and they cannot lose weight or hit their health goals. When we look closer, many times their meals are healthy but their snacks are not. Sometimes people think the snacks are small enough to not make a difference. Other times they weren't planned well so whatever is nearest isn't healthy but they're too healthy to not dive into it. Yet other times, we are allured by the marketing that makes a food seem healthy when in fact it's hidden with sugar or fat."

4. Avocados with Breakfast

For breakfast, Jenner enjoys a large meal that includes avocado and eggs with a big bowl of oatmeal, according to a YouTube video by The List. Berger says, "Avocados are a delicious way to get healthy fats into your diet. Studies have shown that women who included avocado daily had a decrease in visceral abdominal fat. However, for those of us who love avocado we can often eat the entire thing. I recommend having 1/4 avocado at a time."

5. She Limits Cheese

In a Vogue video last year, Jenner broke down her skincare routine and revealed that she limits cheese to help prevent acne, but it also helps keep the weight off at the same time, according to Berger. "Most cheeses are quite high in saturated fat. One to two ounces of cheese is typically recommended daily. For those of us that like cheese, one ounce is not much at all. For this reason, people's quantity of cheese consumed is often significantly higher than what's recommended. As a women's health dietitian, I often recommend limiting cheese to your favorite foods if you are trying to lose weight."

Halle Berry, 54, has been a devotee of the keto diet long before it became a trend. After first being diagnosed with diabetes at 22, the former Bond girl adopted a keto-like diet and has been on it ever since. “My doctors told me I'd have to keep an eye on how I ate to stay healthy, and I took it to heart. I wanted to get off of insulin, so I decided to say goodbye to processed carbs and sugar like baked goods and white bread—and it has seriously paid off,” she wrote in an essay for Women’s Health. “For more than 15 years, eating this way has helped me manage my diabetes—but it's also given me a ton of energy and helped me maintain my weight and stay in shape.”

2. Carrie Underwood Counts Macros

Carrie Underwood used to count calories, but the “wannabe vegan” now keeps track of macros. She works with nutritionist Cara Clark, focusing on maintaining a healthy balance of 25 percent protein, 45 percent carbs and 30 percent fat. "I love rules," Underwood admits. Her diet consists of eggs (but only ones laid by chickens in her backyard), lots of fruits and veggies, Ezekiel toast, vegan meat and tofu, dark chocolate, and even red wine. "I do have my vice," she admitted to Women’s Health.

3. Jennifer Aniston Does Intermittent Fasting

Jennifer Aniston’s secret to maintaining her fabulous figure in her fifties? She skips breakfast.

"I do intermittent fasting, so there's no food in the morning," she told Radio Times (via CNBC) in 2019. "I noticed a big difference in going without solid food for 16 hours." Instead of eating in the am, she sips on coffee and celery juice. And, of course, she does allow herself one “cheat day” on Sunday.

4. Beyonce Went Vegan

Beyoncé famously ditched animal products on the 22 Days Nutrition program in preparation for her post-baby Coachella performance in 2018. She was so impressed with the physical and mental results, that she partnered up with her trainer and nutritionist, Marco Borges, on the program. “We know the power of vegetables,” Borges said in a video of Bey’s vegan journey to Coachella. “Plant-based is really about eliminating all of the overly processed foods that don’t do us any good anyways. When you’re eating plant-based you will definitely have more energy.”

During the video, the star munches on veggies while doing her thing. “It’s time to work, so I have to get in that zone, it’s like a different headspace,” she said. “Me getting the weight off was so much easier than getting back in shape and my body feeling comfortable.”

5. Jennifer Lopez Is Devoted to Clean Eating

Jennifer Lopez is the poster girl for looking fabulous in her fifties. She recently appeared on the cover of InStyle's The Beauty Issue, flaunting her rock hard swimsuit bod. "I'm in the best shape of my life," she admitted. J.Lo doesn't follow a specific diet—she makes healthy and clean eating a lifestyle. "You got to work out, you got to watch what you eat," she told Us Weekly. "It's a job— you've got to buckle down." Her trainer, Dodd Romero, revealed that her ultra-clean diet consists of five basic categories: protein, vegetables, fats, carbohydrates and water. She "stays away from processed foods and gets her nutrients from whole sources," he revealed. Egg whites, white meat turkey, chicken breast, grass-fed beef, salmon and sea bass, nuts, veggies (minus carrots and corn as they are higher in sugar than leafy greens), sweet potatoes, brown rice, quinoa, rice bread and oatmeal, are all on her regular menu.

Khloe Kardashian is flaunting her washboard abs in swimwear from her Good American collection. The reality star and entrepreneur steamed up social media this week, sharing a video of herself in a bathing suit to her 266 million followers. “Denim Swim,” she captioned the Instagram clip. "Perfection," said one fan. How did the star get into the best shape of her life and how does she maintain it? Read on for Khloe Kardashian’s top 5 tips for staying in shape and the photos that prove they work—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bikini Photos!

1. Prioritize Exercise

Exercise is a daily part of Khloe’s life. She tries to break a sweat first thing in the morning. . “Usual sister workout with @kimkardashian and @coachjoe.paris,” Khloe captioned a recent image from a climbing machine. “Got to get it in before the kids wake up.” In order to ensure she is ready to sweat, she workout preps the night before, by laying out everything she needs, including her outfit. "I have my waters that I always [line up] the night before," she told Byrdie. "I make sure that everything is lined up, ready to go, and simplified because I want to make happy, healthy habits. It's so simple, but I notice that when I don't do these things how crummy or sluggish I'll feel."

2. Change Your Lifestyle, Gradually

"For me it was a lifestyle change—it wasn't like, 'I'm going to lose 30 pounds in 30 days,'" Khloe said about her health transformation. "That's unrealistic, unsafe, and you're setting yourself up for failure. I would say instead, 'I'm going to start incorporating collagen protein into my coffee in the morning.' It's just one thing. I would do that for two weeks, and then say 'Okay, I'm going to do the collagen in my coffee and drink three liters of water per day.' Whatever they may be, set small goals. Try one new healthy habit every two weeks and then keep adding to them until you're in a really good place. I think we all at first get so excited and take on more than is realistic. And then we fail and we're bummed about it. But if you set these small goals, you get really proud of yourself. You're like 'Okay, I did that and I feel really good.' Then you're inspired and you add one more."

3. Eat What You Want, But in Moderation

Khloe eats her favorite foods, but doesn’t overdo it. "I kind of eat what I want, but in portion control, which I never knew before. It's really hard," she told People. "You have to train your body to eat less. Your eyes are bigger than your stomach."

4. Hydrate

Khloe prioritizes hydration. "I had to train myself to drink more water. I drink like 5 liters of water a day," she told People. "I yell at [Kylie] and Kendall [Jenner] to drink more water."

5. Don’t Crash Diet

Khloe is anti-diet. “I want to say about food, it's this: Don't diet. When you diet, you are basically setting yourself up for failure. I mean, the word die is in there!" she wrote in her book, Strong Looks Better Naked. "You're not allowing yourself to enjoy the food you love, and it will only make you want it that much more. Make smart lifestyle changes, one baby step at a time."

Mariana Morais is showing off her ab-fab figure – in a two-piece exercise set. In a new social media post, the fitness influencer flaunts her fantastic figure in a brown sports bra and leggings. “Self Progress & Development is not always linear. Sometimes we take steps back & that’s just a sign to course correct so we can leap forward. If 2024 wasn’t the year you expected, use it as an opportunity to learn, grow, & carry on. It’s you VS you - continue to try, focus on consistency > perfection & you will prevail 🤎 rooting for us all to strengthen our mind & bodies this year,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Strength Training

Mariana relies on old-school strength training to keep her body toned. “Training till failure instead of reps + taking my ab routine up a notch by incorporating weighted exercises,” she wrote about one of her workout tactics. “I can feel my muscles being challenged and am in tune with my movements.” According to the Mayo Clinic, strength and weight training help reduce body fat, preserve and increase lean muscle mass, and burn calories more efficiently. Strength training may also help you:

  • Develop strong bones
  • Manage your weight
  • Enhance your quality of life
  • Manage chronic conditions
  • Sharpen your thinking skills

Prioritizing Digestion and Getting Blood Work Done

Other healthy habits? “Prioritizing digestion,” she writes in the same post. “Making sure I get enough fiber & starting off every morning with a juice cleanse. This has helped me feel so much better everyday.” She also gets regular blood work done. “So important to check your levels and know what’s going on in your body routinely! Don’t skip the doc apts, always better to be preventative.”

Hiking

Mariana enjoys hiking. “Elevation therapy,” she captioned a post from one of her fitness adventures. According to the National Parks Service, the physical benefits of hiking include:

  • Building stronger muscles and bones
  • Improving your sense of balance
  • Improving your heart health
  • Decreasing the risk of some respiratory issues

Mariana does reformer Pilates. “POV: Stepping into the prettiest torture chamber,” she wrote across a video of herself at the studio. Why is Pilates a good workout? According to the Mayo Clinic, the workout has many benefits, as it “strengthens the body's inner core while increasing its flexibility, resulting in improved overall health.” It can also promote longer, leaner muscles, injury prevention, stress and back pain relief, enhanced athletic performance, and heightened mind-body awareness.

Emsculpt NEO

Mariana recently got an aesthetic body treatment, Emsculpt NEO. “I’ve heard all the rage about the benefits to spot reducing fat & toning muscle so I had to give it a try to target those pesky lower abs. It was a 10/10 & a great addition to my workout routine,” she wrote.

Needs Intro

She’s Consistent

Last year, Culpo was preparing for her wedding. She told E! News that she made sure to be consistent with her wellness in order to prepare. “Really trying to dial in [on] what I eat, how I workout, the workouts that I do. Trying to get them in consistently because you only get married once and I want to feel my best. But this past season it was just hard being so far away from my normal routine and where I typically live."

She Keeps Her Skin Healthy While Traveling

Culpo has amazing skin, and she makes sure to take care of it, even while traveling. “I don't wear any makeup when traveling," she says to Travel + Leisure. "That's one rule because I do feel like you will have a higher chance of breaking out if you are wearing a full face of makeup. A few things I always have with me is some sort of a spray. I love Dr. Barbara Sturm or Caudalie or La Mer. I also absolutely love traveling with a makeup wipe, the Neutrogena wipes are great. Something to just take off the sweat you build up.”

She Keeps Her Skincare Simple

Culpo shared her skincare routines with Byrdie. She says that she keeps her morning and night routine simple. “I am always trying out new products, so what I gravitate toward is often changing. At night, I usually use an oil and a serum. Right now, I love the Clarins Double Serum. In the morning, I use a Vitamin C serum and an SPF, and, typically, I just rinse my skin with warm water instead of using a cleanser. It is something I swear by—it allows for the oils on my skin from sleeping to absorb naturally.”

She Uses Products With Vitamins

Culpo shared some of her favorite skincare products with Byrdie. She says that she uses ones that have vitamins in them. “I have noticed a huge difference in my skin with vitamin C and E. I love the Good Janes H2OMyGod Moisturizer—it's sort of an all-in-one moisturizer that has vitamin C and collagen peptides. As for vitamin E, I actually just purchase the oil from the drugstore. It is super cheap and great to put on any red marks I may get from an occasional breakout. The healing process is so much quicker when I am using Vitamin E oil.”

She Packs Healthy Snacks

Culpo makes sure to eat healthy. She shared some of the snacks she packs with her with Travel + Leisure. "I love the Kind bars. I love any sort of nuts, to be honest with you. They are a go-to snack for me. I would say Peroni Nastro Azzurro 0.0% and some almonds would be perfect! Also, electrolytes to stay hydrated or some sort of collagen beauty powder or something."

Abigail Ratchford’s amazing body has helped her become one of the most famous models on the internet. The 32-year-old, who boasts over 9.1 million followers on Instagram alone, attributes her measurement-defying body to a few simple habits. Here is everything she does to stay fit at 32.

She Follows 4 Diet Rules

Abigail swears that abiding by simple rules helps her stay in shape. “I can’t diet. That just doesn’t work for me,” she told New Beauty. “I started to be healthier by first cutting out soda. Then, I stopped eating after 7 p.m. Finally, I started really watching my portions so I was eating fewer calories every day. And water—lots and lots of water.”

She UsesMyFitnessPal

Abigail explains being accountable for what she eats is crucial. While it’s not “rocket science,” she does use the MyFitnessPal app to track her eating. “I’m the type of person who likes to eat what I want. The app can help anyone do that—you can still eat great food, you just eat less of it,” she added New Beauty.

Pilates

Abigail is a fan of Pilates. “Group workout classes are so big right now, but I always get nervous around other people in settings like that. I have to go at my own pace without a bunch of distractions so, for me, Pilates with a one-on-one instructor works best. It’s not cheap, but then you also aren’t tempted to skip,” she said She added to Men’s Fitness via Muscle & Fitness that the workout “keeps you long and lean” — and the Mayo Clinic agrees. They say it “strengthens the body's inner core while increasing its flexibility resulting in improved overall health.” It can also promote longer, leaner muscles, injury prevention, relief from stress and back pain, enhanced athletic performance, and heightened mind-body awareness.

Balanced Diet

“I love green juices and smoothies. Sometimes I’ll put some protein powder in the morning—I feel like the mix of vegetables, and vitamins and stuff that’s in them, really gives me a lot of energy in the morning. I love BBQ food—my ultimate cheat is a pulled pork sandwich, sweet potato fries, and macaroni and cheese from this great place in LA,” she told Men’s Fitness.

Strength Training

Ratchford also lifts weights. “Initially, I made the mistake that a lot of girls do and I was only doing cardio. I just really didn’t see too much change in my body. I’ve been listening to my girlfriends who are in great shape and they say you have to do weight training, you have to go in and do squats. That’s my new thing—I’ve been doing some resistance training, circuit training,” she told Men’s Fitness. The Mayo Clinic explains that strength and weight training help reduce body fat, preserve and increase lean muscle mass, and burn calories more efficiently. Strength training may also help you:

Develop strong bones

Manage your weight

Enhance your quality of life

Manage chronic conditions

Sharpen your thinking skills
