5 Things Vanessa Hudgens Does To Maintain Her Killer Body

Table of Contents

Vanessa Hudgens has taken charge of her career — and her diet — and has gotten in her best shape ever. Delish caught up with the star at a workout in NYC for Propel’s new Vitamin Boost electrolyte water, where she told us all about her health and wellness routine. Here’s what works for her.

1 She’s A Fitness Fanatic.

“There’s nothing worse than taking the time to workout and feeling depleted, like you can’t work out to your fullest capacity,” she said. “For me, that happens because I’m dehydrated. Propel Vitamin Boost electrolyte water is the perfect answer to that because it has electrolytes but also a splash of vitamins.” She’s also a huge fan of SoulCycle, and prefers being in the front of class.

2 She Alternates Between Keto And Intermittent Fasting.

The Ketogenic diet focuses on eating lots of protein and healthy fats (and, apparently, it gets results — one editor drop 50 pounds in a year). “Slimfast has this peanut butter cup that’s delicious and feels like a cheat,” she told us. “I always have one of those in my bag.” It’s worth noting that Hudgens’ post is a paid advertisement for the brand. She also explained that she only eats for six hours a day. “In that six hour window I eat as much as I can to hold me over until I break fast again.”

3 She’s All About Avocados.

The key to her toned figure? Avocados, and plenty of them. The star eats one a day, she told Women’s Health in its May 2017 cover story. “I need high fats,” Hudgens explained. “If I’m not getting enough, my body holds on to calories. We’ve been trained to think that fats are bad, but they’re so good—a source of energy and sustenance that keeps you going through the day. That’s the only way I can not eat carbs.”

4 She Gets In Plenty Of Greens.

The former High School Musical star starts the day with scrambled eggs with spinach, avocado, multigrain toast with butter, and tofu sausage. As the day goes on, Hudgens balances out protein and healthy fats with a ton of produce.

5 Yoga Is Her Therapy.

Hudgens has turned to yoga to stay centered. She’s described it as “therapy,” especially after she filming Gimme Shelter — a role so intense she could hardly recognize herself after it wrapped. “It was definitely a journey back to myself, and yoga helped,” she told the magazine.
