Vanessa maintains a healthy diet. While she refuses to starve herself she does stay away from certain types of food. "My overall food philosophy is, if it's real, I'll eat it," she told Shape. "Many things are processed and contain chemicals and ingredients I can't pronounce. I want real food."

2. She Does Intermittent Fasting

Hudgens also swears by time restrictive eating, consuming the bulk of her food between noon and 6 p.m. and fasting for the remaining 18. “I’ve been intermittent fasting a lot, because for me, I love pasta, I love pizza, and when I’m not eating carbs I feel like a little piece of me dies,” she told People. “Intermittent fasting is great, because when I am fasting — those first two weeks are definitely rough, I’m not going to lie, but after that I feel more grounded and powerful in my workouts. And I get the nutrients that I need when I eat, but then I also eat what I want.”

3. She Also Does Keto

Vanessa goes “back and forth” between intermittent fasting and keto. “It’s great,” she told People. “If you have the right ingredients to keep you on track, I think it’s amazing. People a lot of times think of fats in diets as a negative thing, and when you’re doing keto it’s a very positive thing. I’m always making sure I’m getting those healthy fats in, so I eat a LOT of almond butter. You feel really energetic and supported on the keto diet.”

4. She Switches Up Her Workouts

Vanessa is “basically always working out,” she told People, revealing that she likes to switch up her workouts. “I feel like I’ve kind of found a recipe for my body that works,” she says. “It’s SoulCycle for cardio, to keep my heart healthy. It’s Pilates for lengthening, leaning and toning. And yoga for my mental health.”

5. She Also Does Hardcore Strength Training Workouts

My fitness has taken a turn. Cardio has been put on the back burner, and I'm very OK with that,” Hudgens recently told Shape. “The things that have become the most important are balance and mental health.” She trains regularly The Dogpound gym, where she does a lot of strength training and weight lifting. “During the pandemic, when everything was paused, I created a little community. I'd get my friends together over Zoom and we would do Isaac Boots's live workout classes. As the world started to reopen, I found myself obsessed with Dogpound,” she said.

Actress Vanessa Hudgens just posted another stunning swimsuit photo on Instagram. However, it isn’t a traditional beach shot.

1. She Golfs

For 2022, Hudgens has a new hobby, golfing. She posted this video on Instagram of herself taking a lesson at the course. She captioned the video, “New year, new hobby.” "Start off your golf stretches by first stretching your quadriceps, which are the muscles in the front of your thighs," says the Mayo Clinic.

2. She Goes Outside

One look at Hudgens’ Instagram, and you will know that she loves to go outside. She says to The Cut, “I love hiking. I love just being outside; having a moment to myself to clear my head and get some fresh air. And also, going on vacations, I love going to places that are tropical or forests, and really just taking the time to get to know the land and the environment. Just stop to take a moment to really take it in. I think it’s so centering, so grounding.”

3. She Works With A Nutritionist

Hudgens tells The Cut that she tries to eat as healthy as she can. One of the ways she developed her diet is by seeing a nutritionist, and working with them to create a personalized diet for her body. “I went and saw a nutritionist and I found the best way to eat for me is a high-fat, high-protein, high-green salad. No carbs, no dairy, and no sugar. In the beginning it was really rough because not having any sort of grains is tough, but as I continued to stick with it I found my energy levels flew through the roof. I had no dips of energy in the day. I felt super focused, super clear. It felt really good, especially in my line of work where you’re doing such long days, I need my energy. So I’ve been sticking with that for a while, and I feel really good — mentally and physically.”

4. She Prioritizes Her Happiness

In her interview with The Cut, Hudgens was asked what the most important part of her wellness routine is. She says that her own happiness is, and that she makes it a priority. “I think that when you have a healthy body and mind, you can’t help but be happy in life.”

5. She Stays Hydrated

The Cut also asked Hudgens what her most important wellness secret is. Hudgens answered, “Just drinking a lot of water. It’s something that’s so easy to forget about but when I’m tired, I know I’m dehydrated, and when my skin’s not great, I know I’m dehydrated. It’s just so important to drink a ton of water.”
