How does the athlete maintain her fit figure? A healthy diet is one of the key ways. Here is everything she eats in a day.


1. Eggs and Tofu

Kowalkiewicz, who suffers from Hashimoto’s disease, adopted a vegan diet in 2019. She maintains that it helps with her inflammation and pain. Because Karolina eats vegan she has to plan her meals carefully. Her diet is filled with a lot of eggs, which she eats fried, boiled, and scrambled and tofu.

2. Soup

Karolina regularly cooks up huge pots of soup, filled with veggies, grains, and protein. She shares her recipes via her Instagram Stories.

3. Water and Energy Drinks

Karolina has to drink a lot of water to stay hydrated for her workouts. “These photos have no message, I'm just standing in the parking and drinking water,” she captioned an Instagram post. According to the Mayo Clinic, hydration is important for a variety of reasons. Water helps get rid of waste through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements, keeps your temperature normal, lubricates and cushions joints, and helps protect sensitive tissues. She also drinks Monster energy drinks to fuel her workouts.

4. Coffee

Karolina loves coffee. “High Five,” she captioned a post of herself with a cup of Joe. According to the Cleveland Clinic, there are several benefits of drinking coffee in moderation. “It acts on your brain to improve memory, mood, reaction times, and mental function,” they say, citing a study finding that caffeine can improve endurance and performance during exercise. It is also antioxidant-rich, can ward off diabetes, prevent neurologic disease, lower cancer risk, and ward off depression, they point out.

5. Protein Pancakes and Fruit

For breakfast you will often find Karolina cooking up some protein pancakes, which she tops with lots of berries like strawberries and blueberries, packed full of antioxidants.

Joanna Jędrzejczyk is heating up the islands in her swimsuit. The Polish mixed martial arts star shows off her incredibly fit figure in a bathing suit reminiscing about her vacation. “ARUBA - this day last year 🇦🇼 What a great place and trip it was.☀️I love all the memories on my phone.📲 And, of course, I love to travel.🛩️What’s your next travel destination?” she captioned the Instagram post. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 6 ways Joanna Jędrzejczyk 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. She Surrounds Herself with People

Joanna is a social creature and is happier around others. “I don’t like to be myself,” she told MMA Fighting. “I like people around me. When I’m back home, there is always my fiancé, my sisters, my little nephew, my friends. Every weekend I go to my parents’ house and we spend the weekends together. It’s all about the right people.”

2. She Hydrates

Joanna prioritizes hydration. She revealed to MMA Figher that she drinks five quart-sized bottle of Smart Water per day. She added to Forbes that she infuses her water with electrolytes to help replenish those she loses throughout the day.

3. She Starts the Day with Coffee

“Every morning, we have coffee, because I’m a big coffee fan,” Jedrzejczyk revealed to MMA Fighter. Science continues to prove that drinking coffee is great for your health. In fact, a new 2022 study published in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology found that drinking two to three cups a day of most types of coffee – especially a mild to moderate intake of ground, instant, and decaffeinated coffee – may protect you from cardiovascular disease and an early death.

4. She Bikes 10 Miles Per Day

In her interview with Forbes it was revealed that Jędrzejczyk bikes five miles to her gym at American Top Team (ATT) in nearly 90-degree heat. After training she repeats the five-mile trek back home in less than 20 minutes.

5. She Does “Six Sports in One”

“Joanna’s schedule is a tough one,” one of her coaches at American Top Team, Mike Brown, told Forbes. “It’s a lot of volume, it’s a lot of hard work. It’s not like one sport where you’re training for just one thing. It’s six sports all in one: it’s kickboxing, it’s wrestling, it’s jiu jitsu, it’s judo, it’s boxing and on top of that, it’s strength and conditioning.”

6. She Also Enjoys These Outdoor Sports

Joanna also runs on the beach and paddle-boards, both which offer many health benefits. According to the Mayo Clinic, running is great for cardiovascular health, muscle building, and weight loss. “For every mile run, the average person will burn approximately 100 calories,” they say. The American Council on Exercise (ACE) agrees that paddle boarding is great for the core and also a great form of cardio. The water sport can burn an average of 385 calories for a 140 pound male and 436 for a female the same size, per a study conducted by Arizona State University.

Karolina Pajączkowska is a reporter and influencer. She is known for her travel content. A few weeks ago, Pajączkowska went on a trip to St. Vincent, and shared highlights on Instagram.

VINCENT AND THE GRENADINES! 🤩”

She Hikes

Pajączkowska spends a lot of time outside. One thing she likes to do is go on hikes. She shared this set of photos on Instagram of herself on a hike in Austria. Pajączkowska captioned the post, “Trekking in Austrian Styria is DOGGY beautiful 😂🐶 We started our hike from the town of Bad Mittendorf and a picturesque route around 6 lakes. The 15 km hike takes about 5 hours and provides various levels of difficulty, but above all, wonderful views 😍 It turns out that this year's autumn is the perfect time for hiking in the mountains 🙏🏻🏔️”

She Rides Horses

Another outdoor activity Pajączkowska enjoys doing is horseback riding. She shared this set of photos on Instagram of herself riding in Mongolia. Pajączkowska captioned the post, “POV: Khaleesi in Mongolia 😃The adventure during this year’s Altai Eagle Festival in Olgij, Mongolia was WILD! 🦅Imagine flying thousands of kilometers to a land of horses and eagles and meeting one of the best eagle hunter in Mongolia- Janibek with whom You end up on a second place in Kyz Kuar ( woman chasing) competition 😍🤯Yep, it all happened to me 😬 Life is indeed unexpected!”

She Kayaks

As you can see from her Instagram post, Pajączkowska spends a lot of time at the beach. One thing she likes to do is kayak. Pajączkowska shared this post of herself in Thailand.

We managed to see two 😅 In a few days in Thailand, we visited a total of 6 islands, which means we still have some left... the little ones 😂”

She Wakeboards

Pajączkowska recently learned how to wakeboard. She shared this video on Instagram of herself wakeboarding at a lake. Pajączkowska captioned the post, “Another skill unlocked 😎 WakeSurfing is not a competitive sport, but it's definitely a lot of fun 😬 The next stage is to let go of the rope and ride the rough waves, who's joining?”

She Swims

Another activity that Pajączkowska likes to do at the beach is swimming. She shared this photo and video on Instagram of herself swimming and wading in Montenegro. Pajączkowska captioned it, “Vacation is just a memory now, but what a memory it is 🤩 Montenegro looks like a land taken from a fantasy movie! When we docked at the port in Kotor in the morning, I knew that a few hours to admire this country would definitely not be enough. We managed to drive down the coast, visit Perast and lie in the crystal clear water.”

Here’s how this wrestler stays fit and strong.

Professional wrestler Valerie Loureda encouraged fans to watch both UFC and WWE NXT Great American Bash 2023 via a social media update. Loureda, 25, shared a video of herself looking fit and beautiful in an aquamarine bikini with matching coverup, telling fans who her picks are for the fights. “I’ve been working hard to bring a different touch to WWE that they’re never seen before,” she explained in the video. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Loureda stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.


1. Proud of Her Roots

Loureda is proud and confident about her fighting skills. “I’m an amazing wrestler,” she says. “Cuban wrestling is very different, and I was lucky enough to be taught wrestling by Yoel Romero and Alexis Villa and Gustavito (Balart), a lot of Olympic wrestlers, so they really taught me that Cuban wrestling, and I’m gonna take it into the cage. I just haven’t been given a chance to show it because I’m playing my game, but the moment I get the opportunity to show it, people are gonna be shocked by my wrestling skills.”

2. Taekwondo Background

Loureda grew up doing taekwondo, which set the tone for her future career as a fighter. “I never in my life thought for one second this is eventually what I would do,” she says. “I always had the vision of the Olympic dream [in taekwondo] in my mind, but at some point… that changed, and I saw MMA on TV. I saw the way it was blowing up, and people were falling in love with it. I said, ‘Wow, I can do that. I could fight like that. I could beat those girls, and I could change the world one day with that platform and all their viewers.’ So I was very excited about MMA, and that’s when it was born for me.”

3. Wrestling Training

Loureda says switching from MMA to wrestling was no joke. “It’s extremely tough. For me, it’s actually harder than MMA,” she says. “My first bump, I just knew I could do it. I had this feeling in my gut and my first bump, hitting the ropes, I just fell in love with it and I knew I could do it. It’s tough, it’s a hard transition, it’s different than what I’m used to, but if you can rewire your brain and change your mentality and realize what this is and how to be the best at it, you can be successful. I was with coach (Norman) Smiley the whole time and he was amazing and taught me so much. He stayed in an open ring after for like two hours and we worked and he taught me stuff and taught me different things that would work with my style.”

4. Building Muscle

Loureda is careful to build muscle rather than lose weight as a result of MMA/wrestling training. “I might not be sparring as much, but I’m doing physical training (and) conditioning,” she says. “I lost a lot of weight after ‘Exatlon,’ and in these times, I’ve used time to concentrate on what I want to do with my life. While many are eating and gaining weight at home, I’ve been working to be on weight and be ready for this fight. So I haven’t had many partners for this training camp, but I’m very confident in my level and the years of training in martial arts.”

5. Beautiful and Strong

Loureda has neither time nor patience for those who criticize female athletes for bikini pictures. “If women do it, it’s being seen as doing it for social media and doing it to be an object for men and marketing. And that’s not the case,” she says. “It’s not for any man, it’s for us as women showing we can be badass and beautiful and strong, and we could still be animals in the cage and know how to defend ourselves.”

Kriti Sanon knows that staying fit doesn’t have to feel like a chore. The Bollywood star recently shared a video on Instagram rocking two-piece workout gear, proving that her fitness philosophy is all about keeping things fun and challenging. From TRX routines to hip thrusts, Sanon mixes up her workouts to stay motivated and strong. “It’s gotta be fun,” she says—and judging by her energy in the gym, she’s clearly found the perfect balance. Here’s how Sanon keeps herself in top shape with a variety of exercises that work both body and mind.

She Does TRX

Sanon does a lot of things to keep herself in shape. She is seen using TRX cables in her Instagram video. NIFS states that these exercises have a lot of benefits. “If you have ever taken a class or done some of even the most basic exercises, you quickly see that core activation is one of the most important aspects. The workouts are simple yet very challenging, and you can easily complete a total-body workout only using one piece of equipment in 20 minutes.”

Strength Training

Sanon is seen doing a lot of strength training exercises in her Instagram video. Strength training has a lot of health benefits. The Mayo Clinic states, “By stressing your bones, strength training can increase bone density and reduce the risk of osteoporosis. Strength training can help you manage or lose weight, and it can increase your metabolism to help you burn more calories.”

She Does Hip Thrusts

Sanon is seen doing hip thrusts with a shoulder press in her Instagram video. Hip thrusts have a lot of benefits. Gymless says, “Hip thrusts are a controlled and powerful movement, mainly focusing on the glutes, hamstrings, lower back, and core. This exercise is vital for developing a stronger posterior chain, contributing to improved athletic performance, alleviating lower back pain, and enhancing overall physique. Considering that about 65 million Americans experience some form of back pain, hip thrusts are a great exercise to include in your routine.”

She Does Russian Twists

Another exercise that Sanon is seen doing in her Instagram video is Russian twists with a weight. Gymless says that this exercise is very beneficial. “Russian Twists are a great exercise that develops all parts of your core, especially the obliques, it also targets the shoulders and hips. This exercise involves rotating your torso from side-to-side while maintaining a sit up position with your feet off the ground. This rotational movement often occurs in sports, which makes it a popular exercise amongst athletes. It is speculated that this was developed during the Cold War by the former Soviet Union as a training exercise for the Russian Soldiers.”

She Uses A Stationary Bike

Sanon also shared this workout video on Instagram. In it, she is seen using a stationary bike. Penn State PRO Wellness reports that stationary bike workouts have a lot of health benefits. “Riding a stationary bike can help build strength in your legs and lower body, especially if you use a higher resistance. The pedaling action can help strengthen your calves, hamstrings, and quadriceps. Additionally, it can work the muscles in your core, back, and glutes.”

De Bortoli recently changed her hair color. She explained why in the caption of this Instagram post. “The good thing about this color is that it does not require frequent touch-ups and it easily adapts to natural hair growth, it is versatile and can enhance any body and face shape 🧡for those who are tired of blonde or brown, bronde is the solution to change harmony without distortion 🤍for those who have a fair complexion, the most golden tone is recommended 🤎 for the dark complexion, on the other hand, more ash brown ❤️ 🔥what can I say... For me the bronde conquered, and what do you think?”

She Cooks

De Bortoli likes to cook, and she was taught to do so by her grandmother. She shared this video on Instagram of herself and her grandmother cooking together. De Bortoli captioned it, “Grandparents are wealth in society, my grandmother loves to cook and do it with her since I was a child. She has always inspired my creativity, patience, discipline and order but above all traditions, history, and the concreteness of nature's gifts. The greatest teaching my grandparents passed on to me is respect for people, the environment, animals and the kitchen... Today together we made Carnival Frittelle, an easy, quick dessert that adults and kids love. The ingredients are few and simple (but of high quality) and, trust me, the result is guaranteed: nice round but above all soft and tasty.”

She Works Her Abs

De Bortoli shared this video of herself working out on Instagram. In it, she is seen doing core exercises like sit-ups. Core exercises are extremely important. The Mayo Clinic says, “Strong core muscles make it easier to do many activities. When your core muscles are strong, it's easier to swing a golf club, get a glass from the top shelf and bend down to tie your shoes. Strong core muscles help athletes, such as runners. That's because weak core muscles can lead to more fatigue, less endurance and injuries.”

She Works Out With Others

In the previous Instagram video, De Bortoli is seen working out with a friend. Better Health says that this has a lot of benefits. “You’re less likely to get bored when you have a workout buddy, especially a friend. While you’re catching up, having a laugh, encouraging each other, you’re also getting healthier. It’s a win-win. Chatting to a friend during exercise and breaks can help time pass quickly too. You’ll have more options as well, such as a game of tennis or squash.”

Kristin Cavallari is a reality TV and fashion icon. Since she debuted on Laguna Beach, people have clamoured for her fashion and beauty secrets. Cavallari recently shared her eye makeup secrets on Instagram, after several people asked for them. She captioned the post, “This is for the girlies in my DMs asking about this eye every time I do it. Sorry the lighting is awful. I also don’t know why the audio isn’t in sync for half of it 🫣 but here ya go 💗”

She's Less Strict With Her Diet

Cavallari has written several cookbooks, and they have changed as her diet has changed. While promoting her book, Truly Simple with EatingWell, she revealed that her diet is less strict. “I've gotten to a point in my life where not everything has to be so perfect anymore,” Cavallari said. “I used to be so strict about what I was putting in my body. I'm still very healthy and very conscious of it, but I've gotten a little bit more lax. True Roots and True Comfort had nothing ‘white’ in them: no white flour, no white sugar, no white salt. But in Truly Simple, I bend a little bit in a few of the recipes, which really reflects where I am in my life and my new way of eating. Everything is a little bit more relaxed around here now.’

She Loves Cauliflower

Cavallari tells EatingWell that she loves making foods with cauliflower. “I love cauliflower because I think it's very versatile, and there's actually a Sweet Harissa Cauliflower recipe in Truly Simple that's my absolute favorite cauliflower recipe on the planet. If you've ever been to True Food Kitchen, their cauliflower was the inspiration behind it. There's this sweet harissa dressing that's on it, and there's little chopped-up dates in it, so it has that nice balance between sweet and savory. It's the absolute best.”

She Loves Salad

Cavallari likes to make salads. She shared one of her favorite recipes with EatingWell. “This salad has a few of my favorite things: salmon (which has omega-3s and is so, so good for you), bacon (no explanation needed), avocado (healthy fats), and spicy tomatillo ranch dressing (just yum). Together, they create culinary heaven. If you aren't familiar with tomatillos, they're similar to tomatoes but are slightly less sweet and are perfect when drenched in ranch.”

She Works With A Trainer

Cavallari tells Us Weekly that a lot of her gym sessions are with her personal trainer. “He kicks my ass,” she says. “He pushes me really hard. He has me actually lifting really heavy weight, the heaviest weight I’ve ever lifted in my entire life. I feel the best I ever have. I feel like I’m the strongest I’ve ever been.”

She Shared Her Eye Makeup Trick

Cavallari shared some of her wellness secrets in an interview with Us Weekly. She says that consistency is one of her biggest priorities. “My goal is sort of, right now, just to maintain the muscle that I have,” she says. “I’m really petite. I have no hips. I’m just small. And so if I don’t work out for like a week or two, I feel like all my muscle goes away. So it is about consistency for me.”
