Draya goes on a strict \u201cmilitary diet\u201d when she wants to lose weight, consuming only clean foods like grapefruit and lean protein. \u201cYou know what I had for breakfast today?\u201d she revealed in an Instagram video. \u201cCoffee, one hard-boiled egg, celery, and a spoonful of cottage cheese.\u201d<\/p>\n
Draya relies on strength training to keep her muscles toned. She uses small equipment, like exercise bands, free weights, and a kettlebell, focusing on building muscle. She also does cardio. \u201cI am naturally skinny but I stay on the treadmill in my house,\u201d she told RadarOnline. \u201cI watch the clock for the ENTIRE 45 minutes like a hawk. But I work really hard, I\u2019m up to an eight incline.\u201d According to the Mayo Clinic<\/a>, strength and weight training help reduce body fat, preserve and increase lean muscle mass, and burn calories more efficiently. Strength training may also help you:<\/p>\n Draya drinks a lot of water. \u201cIncrease your water intake,\u201d she recommended to FashionBombDaily per Madame Noire<\/a> about her go-to health tip. \u201cAny amount is better than what you\u2019ve been drinking. Your body and skin will thank you for it in the long run.\u201d According to the Mayo Clinic<\/a>, 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.<\/p>\n Draya eats super healthy. \u201cI try to cook as much as I can and I don\u2019t necessarily cook healthy, but I use very small portions to keep the calories at bay,\u201d she told FashionBombDaily. \u201cI love soda\u2026\u2026but my skin and body [don\u2019t]. I\u2019m a cheater about once a week.\u201d She is also tries to stick to a pescatarian lifestyle. \u201cI\u2019ve tried to limit my chicken and red meat consumption a lot. I try to drink a lot of water. I try to work out. My downfalls are sweets. I really love sweets. And alcohol goes with partying. If I\u2019m going to drink, I try to diet. If I\u2019m not going to diet, I try to skip dessert,\u201d she told BET <\/a>about her approach to health. \u201cDieting is always going to be a struggle, so that\u2019s why you have to balance it with working out. I don\u2019t eat whatever I want, but if I do eat whatever I want, I at least got to work out to make it even.<\/p>\n Draya makes sure to get her steps in. \u201cA quick 20 min walk,\u201d she wrote alongside a snap of her workout summary showing she walked 0.83 miles. \u201cNot too much.\u201d Going for a daily walk can be a game-changer in exercise, especially at a brisk speed. One study published in JAMA Internal Medicine<\/a> found that walking at a brisk pace for about 30 minutes a day reduced the risk of heart disease, cancer, dementia, and death, compared with walking a similar number of steps but at a slower pace.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Draya Michele is heating up summer in her bikini.
