Weight Loss
Discover the inspiring journeys of 20 celebrities who transformed their bodies through weight loss. Here we delve into the stories of renowned figures like Adele, Jonah Hill, Rebel Wilson, and more. From their past interviews, we uncover their secrets to shedding pounds and staying in shape. Some turned to rigorous workouts, while others revamped their diets or adopted healthier lifestyles. Read on to see how they did it and which may work for you.
1. Adele

Grammy-winner Adele recently lost a lot of weight, leaving many wondering what she did to do so. She talked about her secrets in an interview with British Vogue. "No intermittent fasting. Nothing. If anything I eat more than I used to because I work out so hard."
2. Jonah Hill

Actor Jonah Hill talked about his weight loss in a 2011 interview with ABC News. "I wish there was some crazy thing that I did, like a pill or a genie or something, but I went to see a nutritionist, and he told me what to eat to change my habits and stuff."
3. Rebel Wilson

In 2020, Rebel Wilson decided to live a healthier life, and she was extremely motivated to do so. “I was carrying around a lot of excess weight," Wilson told People. "It's almost like I didn't think of my own needs. I thought of a future child's needs that really inspired me to get healthier…Before I was probably eating 3,000 calories most days, and because they were normally carbs, I would still be hungry. So, I've really changed to eating a high-protein diet, which is challenging because I didn’t use to eat a lot of meat." 
4. Zach Galifinakis
Getty Images
In 2016, Zach Galifinakis opened up about his weight loss to Conan O’Brien. He said that he changed a lot of his diet to do so. “I tend not to eat food advertised on television. Fast food you can’t do. You have to eat whole grains, and that kind of stuff. And you have to cut out whipped cream pizzas.” 
5. Chris Pratt

Chris Pratt works with trainer Duffy Gaver to keep himself in shape. “Chris’ athleticism is amazing. He is incredibly disciplined and his work ethic is phenomenal,” Gaver told Muscle and Fitness. “He isn’t the client you have to push; he’s the type of client you have to pull down. If you were to walk into the gym when he was training, you would have thought for sure you’ve got a guy getting ready for the NFL Combine.”
6. Kevin Smith
Getty Images
In 2018, Kevin Smith suffered a heart attack. This naturally led him to change his lifestyle. He opened up about the changes he made in a 2019 interview with Men’s Health. “I’ve given up animal food products. I’ve given up sugar, mostly. I ate the way I wanted to for 47 years; I will try the way I’m supposed to for one year and see what happens.”
7. Randy Jackson
Getty Images
Randy Jackson talked about managing his weight loss and diabetes in an interview with People. In it, he talked about his approach to eating. “I hate the word diet. I don't use that anymore. Anybody that’s lost weight, you lose it and then you start eating and drinking more and it all starts coming back. That’s what started happening to me,” he says. “I was like, ‘No, I’m not going to spend my life going through this.”
8. Jordin Sparks

Jordin Sparks works with trainer David Ashley to help her stay in shape. Ashley talked about the workouts he does with the singer in an interview with E! News. "Jordin works out for 30 minutes, but it's the same benefits as an hour workout [because she works out at such a high intensity]. The high intensity training spikes the metabolism. The metabolism is still spiked for the next 24-hours; we are creating that metabolic consistent." 
9. Miranda Lambert
Getty Images
Miranda Lambert opened up about her journey with weight loss in an interview with Health. "My whole life, I’ve struggled with ups and downs in weight," she said. "I’m only 5'4" so weight shows quickly on me. I've hit a comfortable place; this is pretty much my size. I’m a size 6, give or take five pounds, depending on the day."
10. Jennifer Hudson
Getty Images
Jennifer Hudson has been open about her weight loss for years, notably being a spokeswoman for Weight Watchers. In a 2017 interview on Lorraine, Hudson talked about her approach to diet and exercise. “Well, I don’t really have time to do much [exercise],” she said. “I just watch what I eat. I’m very careful and cautious of what I’m eating and I just try to place those meals throughout the day. If it’s early in the morning, OK, I would still be asleep, so I’m not gonna eat right now. I’m very conscious of what I put in my body.”
11. Ricki Lake
Getty Images
Ricki Lake is open about her weight loss in the past, however, she has some different feelings about the way she spoke about it publicly. Lake talked about these feeling on an episode of her podcast, Raised by Ricki. “I’m conflicted because I am proud of myself. When I lose that weight, it is something I want the world to know, I did this. It’s a lot of work and a lot of willpower, so I want to talk about it, but I know that it’s not the best thing to be celebrating.”
12. Christina Aguilera
Getty Images
Christina Aguilera’s weight has fluctuated over the years, and she talked about her journey to self-acceptance in an interview with Health Magazine. “I think we all have our good days and our bad days in how we feel about ourselves. Entering this business, I hated being super skinny. Once I turned 21, I started filling out a little bit, and I was loving my new curves. I appreciated having a booty.”
13. Shonda Rhimes
Getty Images
Shonda Rhimes talked about her weight loss in her newsletter in 2017. “I did not do it because I thought I would become beautiful like in the movies,” Rhimes explains. “I did it because I could not walk up a short flight up stairs without stopping to take a break and wiping sweat from my brow. I did it because my body was physically rebelling against the brain that had been ignoring it for so long.”
14. Valerie Bertinelli
Getty Images
One of Valerie Bertinelli’s weight loss secrets? Cutting out alcohol. Bertinelli participated in “Dry January” this year, and saw some results. "So, here's a nice little side effect of Dry January," she said on TikTok. "These jeans that I'm wearing were so tight a few months ago that I couldn't comfortably button them. Now, they're so loose it's time for me to go down a size."
15. Khloe Kardashian
Getty Images
Khloe Kardashian has always been open about her weight loss and health journey. After having her daughter in 2018, Kardashian shared her secrets on Twitter. "I truly dislike when people report I've lost a tremendous amount of weight in a short amount of time or when people claim I'm doing these ridiculous diets,” she wrote. “It's really setting the wrong tone. I believe in making lifestyle changes when it comes to my food." 
16. Drew Carey
Getty Images
In a 2015 interview with Success Magazine, Drew Carey talked about his journey with health. "I'm eating better, taking better care of myself. When I was doing [The Drew Carey Show], I was eating a lot of garbage, I was drinking a lot, so I had a lot of mood swings. I had diabetes…It wasn’t like, 'Eat this for 90 days and lose 20 pounds.' It was: 'Eat like this for the rest of your life.' I’m not a maniac about it… I mean, I was at a wedding on Saturday, and I ate cake. But 95 percent of the time, I’m right on the money."
17. Al Roker
Getty Images
On an episode of The Today Show, Al Roker opened up about how he was staying healthy. "Exercise, and not extreme exercise — we’re doing that 30-day walking challenge — that improves, I think, your mental health. Combined with a low-carb diet, I’ve lost about 45 pounds in the last several months. I do about 100 grams of carbs a day and I walk."
18. Penn Jillette
Getty Images
After turning 60 in 2015, Penn Jillette opened up about his weight loss to People. “I was on six very powerful meds to bring the blood pressure down. My doctor said I needed to get my weight down, and if I brought it down 30 or 40 lbs. it would be a little easier to control. And then he said something in passing that completely blew my mind – he said, ‘If you got down to 230, you probably wouldn’t need any of the meds.’ ”
19. John Goodman
Getty Images
John Goodman told Rolling Stone that he is a fan of boxing. “I dug it. Yeah. Nobody’s going to get hurt, but it’s just hitting the mitts and trying to learn. I never got good enough where I would trust myself to spar because once I get whacked in the face, I don’t know if I wouldn’t lose it.”
20. Gary Barlow
Getty Images
Singer Gary Barlow talked about his decision to live a healthier life with The Sun.  "I had a rough period with food that I'm not proud of, where I really lost control of myself. I remember one particular day just thinking: 'How have I got here?' I was just so disappointed with myself." Barlow said that he changed a lot of his diet. “I turned my brain on to sorting out what I ate. The trouble is the food I love - Chinese, chips, crisps. They were giving me a couple of minutes of a food coma, taking me out of the real world. It's just not good, that."

What do Rebel Wilson, Kevin Smith, Kelly Osbourne, Adele, Chris Pratt, and Jenna Jameson have in common? They are just a handful of celebrities who completely overhauled their appearance, transforming their health and happiness in the process. “Six months seems like a long time unless you’re looking backwards,” Pratt has said. “All you have to do is just a few things everyday and remain consistent, and time will fly just as fast as it flies if you’re working hard or not. If you just cut the [bad stuff] out of your diet, and if you spend an hour a day doing something physical that will make you sweat, six months will pass by, you will feel better mentally, physically, spiritually—it all is tied together. It might cost you a little bit of money, but it won’t cost as much as [what] you won’t be eating over the next six months.” Through diet, exercise, surgery, and lifestyle changes, here are what these 20 celebrities did to change their appearance—and their lives.
1. Rebel Wilson
Getty Images
Rebel Wilson famously lost 80 pounds during what she called her “Year of Health.” The 43-year-old worked out with a personal trainer and overhauled her diet—but made it clear balance was always going to be key. “I just noticed I put on 3 kgs on my holiday,” she captioned an Instagram post. “I’m at an amazing all-inclusive resort…I’ve lost all self-control,” the star wrote on an Instagram post. “But, you know what? I can get up tomorrow, and go to the gym, and hydrate, and eat healthy, and love myself. It doesn’t help to be hard on yourself, but I know what it’s like to feel guilty and not great after eating too much. But if you’re like me, just know YOU are more than just your weight. Your weight doesn’t define you. Just try your best to be healthy and don’t be so hard on yourself. Be the best version of you.”
2. Adele

Adele, 35, lost 100 pounds through changing her diet and lifting heavy weights. The singer says she started working out to help deal with anxiety issues, and the benefits turned out to be better than expected.  “I’m not shocked or even phased by [people’s reactions],” she told Oprah Winfrey. “Because my body has been objectified my entire career… I was body-positive then and I’m body-positive now. It’s not my job to validate how people feel about their bodies. … I’m trying to sort my own life out.”
3. Khloé Kardashian
Getty Images
Khloé Kardashian, 38, lost 40 pounds after splitting from husband Lamar Odom. "When I first started [working out], I cared so much," she says. "Maybe [it's] just being younger. I think you care about the scale. I don't even look at a scale anymore. I think it's really unhealthy. I haven't in years. They're just numbers. I'm sort of a control freak, but in life, we can't control everything. But the gym, what I put in it, I know I'm going to get out of it. And being a control freak — I'm proud of it — I love that I have that control."
4. Chris Pratt

Chris Pratt, 43, went from loveable Andy Dwyer on Parks and Recreation to a bona fide action hero, completely transforming his physique in the process. The actor lost 60 pounds in six months. “I actually lost weight by eating more food, but eating the right food, eating healthy foods and so when I was done with the movie my body hadn’t been in starvation mode,” he says. “It wasn’t like I was triggered to just gorge myself and get really fat again… It’s something that I think I can maintain because now I don’t spend four hours in the gym each day. I do maybe one hour in the gym maybe four days a week, and that’s it.”
5. Kylie Jenner

Kylie Jenner went through such a drastic transformation, people were convinced she had severe cosmetic surgery. "People think I fully went under the knife and completely reconstructed my face, which is completely false,” she says. “I'm terrified! I would never. They don't understand what good hair and makeup and, like, fillers, can really do... It's fillers. I'm not denying that." Jenner does admit her makeup can make a significant difference to her looks. "Makeup is something that makes me feel empowered, makes me feel good, and I think it's such a positive thing. There's no harm in playing around with it and feeling good about yourself." 
6. Kelly Osbourne

Kelly Osbourne grew up in the public eye, and dealt with plenty of criticism and body shaming. Now 85 pounds lighter, the reality star is thrilled with her physique. “Okay, so that's the whole thing. Everyone was so, like, caught up in how, how I look. They never asked me how I felt,” she says. “And the truth is I was so happy and I felt amazing. I did it for me. I did it because I wanted to live. What I saw in the mirror… I wanted the body to match the mind, because I spent so much time working on my mind and then I spent a year working on my body and now it's about the soul… did the mind, the body, now the soul.”
7. Charles Barkley

Charles Barkley, 60, lost 352 pounds and went down to 290 pounds from 352 pounds. “My doctor told me I was fat. So I'm down 60 pounds," Barkley said. "She said to me, 'There's no fat old people, only fat young people.’ And she said, ‘If you don't get this stuff together you're not gonna be around.’"
8. David Harbour

Stranger Things star David Harbour, 48, lost 75 pounds for his role in the hit Netflix show by intermittent fasting and working out. “I would do a mixture of resistance work and cardio,” he says. “The cardio was a lot of running but with very low intensity over an extended period of time, around 60 to 90 minutes at a heart rate of about 165. That was something that was en vogue a while ago, but now everything has become high-intensity training and that kind of working out has lost its luster. But I’ve found that not only did it help me physically with losing weight, but also mentally. It really helped with my anxiety and my breathing rate. You get about 40-45 minutes in and my breathing would just slow down and I just became more relaxed.”
9. Adrienne Bailon

Adrienne Bailon, 39, lost 20 pounds and was happy with the results. "Well, I made major changes like choosing to eat plant-based, changing my whole relationship with food & working out!” she says. “I've been consistent with my self discipline (although it's been so hard at times). I'm constantly reminding myself that the greatest form of self love is self discipline! They say it takes 21 days to form a new habit... I just want to encourage you to take this time to develop healthy habits! Drink your water, squat, rest, read, pray, take your vitamins, eat your veggies!”
10. Katie Maloney

Vanderpump Rules star Katie Maloney, 36, lost over 20 pounds with the help of a nutritionist. "I thought it was a thyroid thing, so I was going to the doctor and getting blood work done," she says. "I think it's really important to also check up on your health because even though it wasn't a thyroid thing, I did discover that my glucose levels were pretty high and that could've led to some maybe pre-diabetic problems… From there, I met a really great nutritionist, who helped me understand how to eat for my metabolism, especially with being insulin resistant or insulin-sensitive. So now I have a great understanding on nutrition and what kinds of food I should and shouldn't be eating."11. Megan Fox

Megan Fox, 37, has changed a lot since her Transformers days—and she is proud of her progress. “I’m always completely sober,” she says. “I don’t even drink a glass of wine. I don’t ever smoke. I don’t drink coffee. I’m super strict with my diet and I never deviate. I’m not saying you have to be like that,” she explains. “I’m saying for me, that’s how I feel the best. When I was in Costa Rica, somebody described the purpose of alcohol with plant medicine: You use alcohol to extract the essence of a plant. And I thought, That is exactly how alcohol makes me feel. As though it is extracting my essence."

Randy Jackson, 66, lost over 100 pounds after gastric bypass surgery. Now he maintains his weight through Pilates and healthy food. “I hate the word diet,” he says. “I don't use that anymore. Anybody that’s lost weight, you lose it and then you start eating and drinking more and it all starts coming back. That’s what started happening to me. I was like, ‘No, I’m not going to spend my life going through this.”

Ed Sheeran, 32, lost 50 pounds after making major lifestyle changes. "It's the first time I've been really healthy," he says. "I've kind of stopped all the bad habit stuff in my life. Started exercising every day. I was eating like a takeaway every single day, and now I don't eat takeaway every single day and it's been good. It just happened. And because I wasn't having chicken wings and two bottles of wine a night."
14. Ryan Lochte

Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte, 38, lost 21 pounds in two months back in 2019. “Getting my groove back thanks to the help of @fitplan_app ,” he said. “I’ve adjusted my diet and upgraded my fitness routine and I’m down 21 pounds since Nationals in August! Not only is it my goal to make my 5th Olympics but it would be an honor to represent USA in Tokyo next Summer!” Lochte didn’t end up qualifying, but the newly chiseled physique must have been some comfort.
15. Joe Giudice

Joe Giudice, 51, came out of prison a transformed man. The ex-husband of Teresa Giudice lost a significant amount of weight through exercise and cutting out excessive amounts of wine. “I am not going to be able to drink for a while, which is good because I don’t even know when it’s been since I haven’t had a drink,” he said in 2016. “It’s been a long time. Definitely the whole year I drank every day a couple of bottles at night just to go to bed.” According to Teresa, he lost 35 pounds in the first six months of his sentence. “He’s running, he’s doing 1,000 sit-ups a day,” she said. “So he lifts weights and that’s what he’s doing. Just running, working out and then a lot of push-ups and sit-ups. He’s doing over 1,000 sit-ups.”
16. Jenna Jameson

Jenna Jameson, 49, lost 80 pounds on a low carb, high-fat diet, going from 205 pounds to 125 pounds. "Since I'm at my goal weight (125) I don't want to lose more, so I'm upping my calories from my usual #ketodiet," she said. "But LISTEN TO ME, I am not saying to myself… 'it's ok to eat garbage processed nastiness!' I am sticking to yummy organic fresh foods. I'm just allowing myself room."
17. Gordon Ramsay

Gordon Ramsay, 56, lost 50 pounds after comparing himself to wife Tana Ramsay. "Tana was not impressed with the way I was," he said. "I was overweight, 18 stone [252 pounds]. I didn't have a figure. I didn't feel that good… I look at the pictures and think, 'How did Tana stay around?' Because Tana has got better looking and more gorgeous.” Ramsay changed his diet and developed a lifestyle that worked for him. "I'm very good at eating five times a day," he says. "But small amounts as opposed to big breakfast, big lunch and big dinner. There's nothing worse than eating dinner at 5:30 and then having to get up and cook for three hours. I like to keep on my toes and eat small bits. Almost like in Hong Kong – four or five times a day, small bowls of food."
18. Simon Cowell

Simon Cowell, 63, lost 60 pounds and completely transformed his physique. “The most dramatic period was the first month where most of the weight comes off and you look at yourself and think ‘wow’,” he says. “All I do is avoid just red meat - white meat is fine - and I eat loads of vegetables, salads and drink this great beer. If you’re on a diet you have to keep the food sensible, but it’s got to be interesting and tasty, then the diet’s surprisingly easy."
19. Rosie O’Donnell

Rosie O'Donnell, 61, lost 64 pounds after gastric sleeve surgery. “Believe it or not, that surgery changed my life,” she says. “It doesn’t reroute your intestines. You have no issue with going to the bathroom in public. But your relationship with food ends… I don’t feel that same pull for it. They told me the part of the stomach they remove have hunger hormones in it, called ghrelins. And that changes the way you think and feel about food. I feel so much freer now in terms of needing to move and play with my kids.”
20. Kevin Smith

Kevin Smith, 52, lost 50 pounds in six months after suffering a heart attack in 2018, by switching to a vegan diet. “Nobody wants to hear that,” he says, “and I don’t blame them. I don’t care how you prepare them; vegetables suck compared to a piece of cake or a steak. But I think of it this way: I know what that stuff tastes like. And it’s not going anywhere. I ate the way I wanted to for 47 years; I will try the way I’m supposed to for one year and see what happens.”

Country darling Carrie Underwood ditched calorie counting and instead started keeping track of macros. “I would ‘fall off the wagon,’ then feel terrible and repeat the cycle,” she explained to Women’s Health about her struggles with trying to stay slim in her younger years, sometimes eating as few as 800 calories per day. “Your body is screaming ‘I need more calories. I need more carbs!’" The “wannabe vegan” 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," she admitted to Women’s Health.  
2. Jennifer Lopez: Work Out “Harder and Smarter”

Jennifer Lopez has adapted her fitness regiment over the years. However, instead of working out more, she is smarter about her workouts. "In my 20s and 30s I used to work out but not like I do now. It's not that I work out more; I just work out harder and smarter,” she told InStyle. “And it doesn't take me as long as it did in the past. I do it more for my health than I do for looks, which is funny. When you do things for the right reasons, you actually look better!"
3. Vanessa Hudgens: Work Out with Others

Vanessa Hudgens can afford to pay a personal trainer for one-on-one workouts, but opts for group fitness and workout buddies instead. "I'm the type of person that needs to be in a class," Vanessa told Popsugar. "I need someone telling me what to do, and I love being in a group environment because I'm very competitive, so it pushes me to work harder than I would if I was by myself." The 32-year-old is a devotee of The Dogpound, a hardcore boot camp style studio The Dogpound she regularly visits with her friends. "HOT GIRL SUMMER IN FULL EFFECT," the gym recently wrote on Instagram, sharing a video of sweating alongside GG Magree in an intense HIIT workout. 
4. Rebel Wilson: Approach Weight Loss From All Sides...Including Emotional
Working out and eating right are only part of the equation to weight loss, per actress Rebel Wilson, who lost a whopping 60 pounds in less than a year. While she majorly revamped her diet and embarked on a fitness routine, it was the work she did on the instead that helped her achieve her goals. "I think because I approached it from all areas ... the biggest thing that I haven't ever worked on was the emotional side, what I suffered from, I guess, as classical emotional eating … so I really worked on that side," she told Extra.
5. Rita Ora: Focus On Strength, Not Weight Loss

Instead of trying to lose weight or get to a certain clothing size, Rita Ora suggests putting your focus on getting stronger. "I didn't start working out to get skinnier—I started working out to feel better. And I think it's important for women to know that,” she told Shape. “Don't be obsessed with being thin. You just have to be fit, healthy, and strong," she said. "I love my shape because it's curvy. I have thighs. I'm a size 28 in jeans. And that's an average, normal size. I'm proud that I'm normal."
6. Kate Hudson: Move a Little Every Day

Kate Hudson has always been devoted to fitness. One of her stay-fit secrets? She moves every day. "Now that Rani is getting a little bit older and her nap schedule is longer, I've been able to work out at least 30 minutes a day, maybe five times a week,” she told InStyle. “I make sure that I don't go a day without doing something for 30 minutes. I've been doing that since April and I've noticed enormous changes in my body."
7. Jessica Simpson: Get Your Steps In

After tipping the scales at 240 pounds during her pregnancy with third child, Birdie Mae, Jessica Simpson started walking her way to a 100-pound weight loss with the help of trainer Harley Pasternak. He started off by setting her goal at 6,000 steps and then eventually upping it to 14,000. "It had to be more than just getting back from her baby weight, but how do I keep whatever I am doing now forever. That's why we are not a big fan of doing any extreme diet or radical forms of exercise,” he told E! about the weight loss strategy he developed for the star, which also included healthy eating, sleep, and full body workouts. “Woke up before all 3 kiddos to get my steps in and spend time with me, myself, and I. Move move move for your own mental health,” she captioned a 2020 Instagram post. 
8. Halle Berry: You Have to Commit

Halle Berry, 54, looks half her age. According to the star, her biggest secret to staying in shape is her commitment to healthy living, including workouts with her trainer, Peter Lee Thomas, diet tips, and healthy living mantras. “You just have to have the will and the desire,” she told Harper’s Bazaar about what it takes to stay fit. “And you have to make up your mind that it's important. That's the hard work that people have to do." 
9. Nicole Scherzinger: Everything in Moderation
Getty Images
"Don't deprive yourself of anything because eventually you'll crave it and then you might binge on it. Everything in moderation," Nicole Scherzinger told Women's Health UK about her dietary rule. "For breakfast I love eggs and toast and smoked salmon or bacon, or porridge. For lunch I like maybe some soup or some sushi. For dinner, anything from pasta to rice, and meats and veggies, to sushi. When I'm going to indulge, I love pasta, pizza, I love Mexican with lots of cheese. I love French fries, or crisps – salt and vinegar crisps. In terms of snacks: almonds, coconut water, bits of coconut, baby carrots."
10. Gabrielle Union: Don’t Commit to One Workout Only

Gabrielle Union allows her workout routine to evolve. "As the workout phases come and go, I'll try everything," she previously told Women's Health. "Nothing, not one thing, has stuck. I've tried kickboxing, cardio barre, I've tried a SoulCycle class...I'm not a class person." In a 2019 Instagram post, she also revealed that her motivations for exercise are also evolving. “There are times I workout for a job or specific athletic goals but usually I workout to maintain my peace. Sometimes i grunt, grimace, scream...many times I've cried while training. I've cried due to frustration. I've cried from physical pain. Many times I've cried as my fears and anxiety leave my body. For me, I'm always working out my spirit and exercising my soul. This morning felt like the end of a week of taking Ls, but today I got up and reminded myself that even when I lose, I win because I'm committed to learning and evolving,” she wrote.

50 is the new 30 – in Hollywood at least. These celebrities have been in the public eye for decades, but somehow manage to majorly delay the aging process. From taking care of their skin and undergoing the latest treatments to remaining dedicated to healthy eating and exercise, we have compiled the longevity secrets of some of the most high-profile stars who look sensational in their 50s.
1. Bethenny Frankel: She Doesn’t Diet

Bethenny Frankel, 52, has one big dietary secret – she doesn’t diet. "I’m old enough to know that fat-free was a craze, low-carb, eat your weight in meat and cheese was a phase, keto is a fad, the Zone was a moment, and so on .... so yes, I eat carbs. I eat everything, but I don’t binge," the Real Housewives star dished to Good Housekeeping. "What I eat has no consistency. Today, it was an egg white vegetable omelet with a baked potato and a few french fries for lunch. Sometimes, it's arugula with tomato, avocado, and Parmesan. Pureed soups are a mainstay for me."
2. Jennifer Lopez: No Alcohol, Healthy Diet, and “Harder and Smarter” Workouts

"I'm in the best shape of my life," Jennifer Lopez, 53, told InStyle in 2021. The star attributes her ageless beauty to a healthy diet, lots of water, and zero alcohol. She has also been extremely devoted to exercise. "In my 20s and 30s I used to work out but not like I do now," she revealed. "It's not that I work out more; I just work out harder and smarter. And it doesn't take me as long as it did in the past. I do it more for my health than I do for looks, which is funny. When you do things for the right reasons, you actually look better!"
3. Paulina Porizkova: Gracefully Aging with Daily Exercise

Supermodel Paulina Porizkova, 58, believes in aging gracefully. And while she didn’t start exercising until she was 40, she now works out almost daily. “I try to exercise at least 3-5 days a week. And you know what? I ... hate it,” she said in one of her workout videos. “I don’t like to sweat and huff and puff and hurt. If sitting on a couch, eating cake, drinking wine and reading did the same for me as exercise, there would be no contest. BUT. I have come to find out that ‘working out’ is that perfect little pill everyone is looking for. It makes you feel good, look good, good for your brain and body - a small miracle that has to be paid of by a little discomfort.” Her favorite workouts include dancing, rowing, and pilates. 
4. Kelly Ripa: “I Work Out Seven Days a Week”

Kelly Ripa, 52, never skips a workout "I work out seven days a week," she told In the Know. "And I try to workout an hour and a half a day, no matter what — whether I'm working or not. If I'm working, maybe I'll start it a little bit later or a little bit earlier, depending on what day of the week it is. But I am very religious about my fitness." She also avoids alcohol and maintains a super clean alkaline diet. 
5. Jennifer Aniston: She Switches Up Her Workouts
Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic
Jennifer Aniston, 54, recently revealed to Bustle that she toned down her super-aggressive “feel the burn” approach to exercise. “I work out about three to four times a week, which is basically all your body really needs. I’ll do Pvolve, and then to switch it up, sometimes I’ll do Pilates, or sometimes I’ll take a hike,” she said. She also focuses on recovery. I love an infrared sauna or an Epsom salt bath. Those are two really good for drawing that lactic acid out, and I’ll even use my hands or a little gua sha on my legs for the same purpose.”
6. Jennifer Garner: Daily Cardio Sessions

On Jennifer Garner’s 51st birthday earlier this year she appeared on The Drew Barrymore Show and revealed her secret to longevity. “What I do in the morning is I work out,” Garner said. “You’ve gotta do hard cardio to get that—to get yourself—I’m sorry, you do,” she said. “We need it in our bodies, but we need it in our brains. Your brain needs it!” she exclaimed. “You find something that actually makes you feel joyful while you’re doing it or it won’t work.”
7. Sofia Vergara

Sofia Vergara, 50, regularly jokes that she isn’t a fan of exercise. However, as she has gotten older she has incorporated weights into her routine. “The one thing that I have done that really has made a difference in my body is lifting weights. Not crazy weights. But, you know, like five pounds, seven pounds, 10 pounds. Twelve pounds is the maximum I can do. It keeps your muscles tight, and your skin tighter to you,” she explained to Health. “I’ve done Pilates and spinning, and I’ve tried all sorts of things—and they’re great.”

I’m like, ‘What in the hell did you do?’ She’s like, ‘I lost weight, and I did AirSculpt.’ I’m like, ‘Liposuction.’ She goes, ‘No, AirSculpt.’...I’m approaching three months later, super happy with the results. There’s no bruising after about three weeks and I’ll be in a bathing suit and I’ll do my best to be proud of the results. It’s not perfect, but it’s a whole lot better. And that’s what I needed.

Meghan Trainor opened up about her weight loss journey after having her first child in an interview with ET Canada. “I worked every day and challenged myself. I was like, ‘If I can survive a C-section, I can do anything!’ I was very dedicated and I started seeing the pounds come off, like, one week at a time, one pound [at a time]. I learned that I do like healthy food and I learned what portions mean. And I learned my brain is so happy when I exercise, so I’m just [feeling] better than ever.”

Building muscle also can contribute to better balance and may reduce your risk of falls. This can help you maintain independence as you age.”

Stankovic does squats to keep herself in shape, as you can see in her Instagram video. Piedmont says that this exercise has a lot of health benefits. “Whether you’re hoping to tone your muscles, strengthen your core or just improve overall health, squats are one of the best exercises you can do. Although the movements appear relatively simple, squats can take time to master. Joel Hardwick, ACSM EP-C, EIM2, an exercise physiologist at Piedmont Atlanta Fitness Center, says practice will pay off…Hardwick explains that squats are a compound, multi-joint movement, which means they exercise several muscle groups. When you perform a squat, you work your calves, quads, hamstrings, glutes, core and part of your back.”

Stankovic is also seen doing lunges in her Instagram video. The Mayo Clinic reports that lunges are very beneficial to do. “The lunge is a body resistance exercise that works the leg muscles. Specifically, the lunge targets the quadriceps and the hamstring muscles in the thigh, the gluteal muscles in the buttock, and to a lesser extent, the lower leg muscles. The lunge is a great conditioning exercise for many sports, especially those that involve lunging movements, such as tennis, basketball or soccer.”

Stankovic likes to do cardio workouts to keep herself in shape. She shared this video of herself doing fast box jumps in different directions on Instagram. Stankovic captioned it, “Morning cardio challenge.” Cardio exercises have a lot of benefits. The Cleveland Clinic says, “When you work your heart and other muscles of your body during cardio exercise, this increases oxygen supply to your whole body, allowing all muscles to work harder and more efficiently. Over time, regular cardio exercise allows your muscles to adapt to an increased workload, making regular activities seem easier.”

Stankovic shares a lot of her favorite workouts in an Instagram story highlight. In some of the stories, she is seen doing Pilates exercises on a reformer. Pilates is very beneficial. The Cleveland Clinic says, “One of the reasons Pilates is such a good workout is that it specifically focuses on building core strength.”

Stankovic likes to strength train to keep herself in shape. She shared this Instagram story of herself using dumbbells. ACE Fitness says that strength training and using weights has a lot of health benefits. “Strength training with heavy weights improves muscle definition. Muscle definition occurs as the result of muscles remaining in a state of semi-contraction and heavy strength training recruits the larger type II muscle fibers responsible for a muscle’s appearance.”

French is seen doing deadlifts in her Instagram post. This exercise has a lot of benefits. NASM says, “A Romanian deadlift is a hip-hinge pattern that works the hamstrings and glutes. It is a form of deadlift with noticeably less bend in the knee, leading to greater hamstring engagement than traditional deadlifts. The move was introduced to the masses in the 90s by Romanian weightlifter Nicu Vlad (an Olympic and World Weightlifting champion) and his coach Dragomir Cioroslan. The two invented the move to help Nicu strengthen his back for the clean and jerk. Today, RDLs are commonly used to strengthen the posterior chain, using the core muscles to stabilize and the hamstrings and glutes to drive the movement.”

            
                She Does Lunges

Another exercise that French is seen doing in her Instagram post is lunges. NASM says that they are very beneficial. “The lunge is a versatile, simple and effective movement for lower body training. Various positions, planes of motion and speeds can all yield different training adaptations for the exerciser. Lunges are the gift that keeps on giving!”

French is seen doing hamstring curls in her Instagram post. According to The Mayo Clinic, hamstring curls are very beneficial. “The seated hamstring curl is an exercise you can do with a weight machine to work the muscles in the back of the thigh. As the name implies, the seated hamstring curl targets the hamstring muscles here in the back of the thigh. Strong hamstring muscles help to protect your ligaments in the knee.”

            
                She Does Hip Thrusts

French shared this video on Instagram of herself doing hip thrusts. She captioned it, “Hip Thrusts are no doubt one of the best exercises for building your Glutes but of course with any exercise, the form has to be correct for you to see the maximum benefits…✖️ Feet too far forwards will engage your hamstrings more ✖️ Feet too close to you will engage your quads more ✔️ Feet placed so your calves are vertical will engage your glutes more.”
