Melania Trump<\/a> was a globetrotting supermodel before finding love with future president Donald Trump<\/a> at a New York Fashion Week<\/a> party in 1998.<\/p>\n

So it’s no surprise that the First Lady, 55, has spent decades following a healthy diet and strict exercise regimen<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Both Pilates and tennis are a core part of Melania’s fitness routine, as the activities are easy to do at home or at Mar-a-Lago.<\/p>\n

However, the\u00a0Slovenian stunner actually owes much of her slender physique to a small tweak she’s made to her daily routine.<\/p>\n

According to GQ<\/a>, Melania wears ankle weights most days, which are said to increase calorie burn anywhere from five to 15 percent.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But it’s really Melania’s diet that is the biggest contributor to her trim figure.<\/p>\n

The Vogue cover girl eats seven pieces of fresh fruit each day, with peaches and apples being her two favorites, according to Inside Edition<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Melania also starts her day with a healthy fruit and vegetable smoothie made of ingredients like spinach, carrots, blueberries, apples and fat-free yogurt.<\/p>\n

Since entering the world of politics through her husband, Melania has been cagey about her diet secrets, instead preferring to keep the conversation focused on more important topics.\u00a0<\/p>\n

However, a look at the former model’s old social media posts reveals an insight into her daily diet.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Some of her meals included fruit plates, salmon and edamame, and an avocado salad.<\/p>\n

One breakfast plate consisted of sliced banana, pineapple, blueberries and raspberries.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Some of her more adventurous meals include\u00a0mozzarella pomodoro and a grilled fish from The Polo Bar in Beverly Hills.<\/p>\n

When it comes to treating herself, Melania likes a Diet Coke (in a glass), a piece of dark chocolate in the afternoon, and a $68 chicken parmigiana from Jean-Georges at the Trump International Hotel & Tower New York.<\/p>\n

The natural beauty has denied having plastic surgery and injectables, telling GQ magazine in 2016 that her healthy lifestyle is how she maintains her looks.<\/p>\n

‘A lot of people say I am using all the procedures for my face. I didn’t do anything,’ she insisted.<\/p>\n

‘I live a healthy life, I take care of my skin and my body,’ she continued.<\/p>\n

‘I’m against Botox, I’m against injections – I think it’s damaging your face, damaging your nerves. It’s all me. I will age gracefully, as my mom does.’<\/p>\n

Melania has often attracted attention for her sculpted physique, most recently while the opening night of Les Mis\u00e9rables with her husband, President Trump.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

David Plasse, owner of New York’s Plasse Strength, suspects that Melania is maintaining her toned arms by doing ‘consistent, full-body strength training,’ most likely with a trainer twice a week.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Due to her ‘lean’ appearance, Plasse believes she could be doing a combination of exercises like dumbbell lateral raises, alternating cable bicep curls, and dumbbell kickbacks.<\/p>\n

‘She’s probably not doing extreme lifting but staying consistent with moderate resistance, perfect form, and a well-balanced program,’ Plasse told the Daily Mail in June.<\/p>\n

‘Combine that with a clean diet and daily movement, and it’s easy to see how she maintains such an elegant physique,’ he explained.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Melania Trump was a globetrotting supermodel before finding love with future president Donald Trump at a New York…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":72754,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[211,3533,1198,210,13754,405,50918,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-72753","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-fitness","8":"tag-dailymail","9":"tag-femail","10":"tag-fitness","11":"tag-health","12":"tag-melania-trump","13":"tag-new-york","14":"tag-new-york-fashion-week","15":"tag-united-states","16":"tag-unitedstates","17":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114874500184209712","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/72753","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=72753"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/72753\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/72754"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=72753"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=72753"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=72753"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
