Savannah Chrisley is snapping selfies – in her swimsuit. In one of her latest social media posts, the Chrisley Knows Best star shows off her beautiful body in an aqua-blue bathing suit. In the rare selfie, she smiles wide for the camera, enjoying a day in the sun. How does the reality star maintain her fit physique? Read on to see 5 ways Savannah Chrisley stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.
Savannah started to gain weight in 2019 due to endometriosis. “I was on a medication and the highest dose possible for six months, and I gained about 30 pounds within the six months,” she told Life & Style in July 2020. She would “work out like crazy” and “try to eat right” but she simply couldn’t drop the weight. “I mean, it was hard,” she said. “There was nothing I could do to control it.”
Savannah is a South Beach diet devotee, telling Fox News that the low-carb diet taught her how to eat right. “It’s about progress, not perfection. South Beach Diet has given me control. It’s taught me moderation, portion sizes and that a keto-friendly lifestyle works. I am so proud of how far I’ve come since this time last year and I feel better than ever,” she said. What does she eat on the diet? “We make lasagna but with zucchini instead of noodles. We’re taking some of her recipes and making them healthier. We did a kale salad, which is my go-to and everyone in the family loves it, except Todd. He’s a lost cause. But Grayson loves it. So it’s just fun coming up with recipes that are healthier, but the kids love too because I want to start teaching them that it is important to start living healthy younger,” she said. As for snacks? “I mean, chips and guac are my go-to, but I’ve learned to substitute the chips for cucumbers. It’s not the same but it works. And like I said it also follows along with the South Beach Diet because it doesn’t have carbs in it,” she dished to Us. “I still have cheat days, cheat weekends and cheat meals, but I jump back on to the South Beach diet.”
“My weight fluctuates and that’s just called being a woman and loving food,” Savannah told Fox News. “I believe that being healthy starts from the inside. Eating right helps my moods tremendously. If I’m feeding my body great food, then my moods and life will thrive. I want to be healthy for my family and my future children.”
Savannah exercises in order to build strength. “I lost about 20 pounds and then gained about 10 pounds back due to muscle because I’ve been lifting weights,” she told Fox News. Boxing is another one of her go-to workouts.
Savannah emphasizes the importance of self-love. “For a long time, I compared myself to so many other people because I felt like I just didn’t measure up,” she told Fox News. “I wasn’t good enough. I kept hearing ‘you’re too big’ or ‘you’re too skinny.’ I have realized that if I am happy and I love me, then no one else’s opinion matters. Loving yourself is the key to being fit, in my opinion.”
