Fitness Influencer Whitney Johns in Bikini Says “Sweat Now, Shine Later”

Here are her diet and fitness habits

Whitney Johns is sharing some fitspiration – in her bikini. In a new social media post, the bombshell fitness influencer flaunts her amazing body in a skimpy white swimsuit.”Sweat Now, Shine Later,” she captioned the Instagram post. “Because poolside confidence doesn’t come from wishing—it comes from WORK. Whether you’re sculpting that summer six-pack or just trying to keep up with the SPF, I got you.” How does the star approach diet and fitness? Here are her 5 top habits.

1

She Eats Enough to Build Muscle

Whitney explains that to build muscle, you need to eat. “I get a lot of people who want to build their glutes, but they also want to be on a diet,” she told Muscle and Fitness. “You can’t really build that muscle on a calorie deficit.” Instead, she eats more. “As long as you are doing a clean-calorie surplus, you have to remember you are ‘doing it for the glutes!”

She Macro Tracks

Whitney also tracks macros. “I really encourage my clients to track their macros,” she explained to Muscle and Fitness. “Even if that’s just a couple of times per week because meal serving sizes are so deceiving. I hate tracking macros too, but if you can make yourself do it, you will find out if your protein intake is on point, or if your caloric intake is on track, and then you will know you are getting somewhere.”

She Focuses on “Internal” Health

Whitney approaches health from the inside out. “My love of fitness started when I was 16 years old. I grew up suffering from severe migraines, chronic pain, mental health, and gut health issues. I got fed up feeling poorly all the time, so I took matters into my own hands and started searching for solutions,” Whitney told Fitness Gurls. “I spent years researching and self-testing. It became clear that to heal my body, I had to make nutrition and lifestyle choices that were going to improve my internal health, not just my outer physique.”

She Follows the 80/20 Rule

Whitney eats paleo style because that’s how she feels good. She also adheres to the 80/20 rule with vegetables, lean protein, and healthy fats. On occasion, she will cheat. “If you can do just one cheat meal instead of a cheat day or week, you will fulfill those cravings without derailing your whole diet,” she told Dumb Blonde.

5

She Avoids Dairy

Whitney stays away from dairy for the most part. “When it comes to my diet that works best for my body: I try to stay dairy free, higher fat and lower carbs… but sometimes that Ice Cream craving is just the most,” she said via Greatestphysiques.
