“Diets don’t work,” Katie declared to Bravo Insider. “I just like to listen to my body, be 80/20 with it all. [I always try to] be active and moving my body, getting steps in. 80% of the time, I’m being very on top [of it] and consciously eating the kinds of food I should be eating that my body knows how to digest, eating healthy. Then 20% [of the time, I am] indulging in the things I love. That’s the approach I’m trying to take to it all.”
In April 2020, Katie revealed on Instagram that her glucose levels were “pretty high,” so she began working with a nutritionist who helped her “understand how to eat” for her metabolism, “especially with being insulin resistant or insulin-sensitive.” Now she understands how her body uses and processes food, and the kinds of food she should eat, she told Bravo.
Katie tries not to eat large portions. “You know that portion sizes are important,” she added. “But [I learned] how important they actually are.”
Katie either eats or exercises first thing when she wakes up. “In the morning, it’s really important that you either start moving or you have something to eat within an hour of waking up,” she said. “Because that’s when your clock starts and when you want to get everything sort of moving.”
Katie goes on “lots of hikes,” she told Bravo. “Hiking is one of the best ways to get exercise. No matter what type of trail you find yourself on, hiking is a great whole-body workout—from head to toe and everything in between,” says the National Parks Service. Some of the physical benefits include building stronger muscles and bones, improving your sense of balance, improving your heart health, and decreasing the risk of certain respiratory problems. It also offers many mental health benefits, according to a Stanford University study.
Katie also has a Peloton and treadmill in her home, so she gets lots of workouts done without leaving the house. Physical activity is anything that gets your body moving. Each week adults need 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity and 2 days of muscle-strengthening activity, according to the current Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans.
