Vanessa maintains a healthy diet. While she refuses to starve herself she does stay away from certain types of food. “My overall food philosophy is, if it’s real, I’ll eat it,” she told Shape. “Many things are processed and contain chemicals and ingredients I can’t pronounce. I want real food.”
Hudgens also swears by time restrictive eating, consuming the bulk of her food between noon and 6 p.m. and fasting for the remaining 18. “I’ve been intermittent fasting a lot, because for me, I love pasta, I love pizza, and when I’m not eating carbs I feel like a little piece of me dies,” she told People. “Intermittent fasting is great, because when I am fasting — those first two weeks are definitely rough, I’m not going to lie, but after that I feel more grounded and powerful in my workouts. And I get the nutrients that I need when I eat, but then I also eat what I want.”
Vanessa goes “back and forth” between intermittent fasting and keto. “It’s great,” she told People. “If you have the right ingredients to keep you on track, I think it’s amazing. People a lot of times think of fats in diets as a negative thing, and when you’re doing keto it’s a very positive thing. I’m always making sure I’m getting those healthy fats in, so I eat a LOT of almond butter. You feel really energetic and supported on the keto diet.”
Vanessa is “basically always working out,” she told People, revealing that she likes to switch up her workouts. “I feel like I’ve kind of found a recipe for my body that works,” she says. “It’s SoulCycle for cardio, to keep my heart healthy. It’s Pilates for lengthening, leaning and toning. And yoga for my mental health.”
My fitness has taken a turn. Cardio has been put on the back burner, and I’m very OK with that,” Hudgens recently told Shape. “The things that have become the most important are balance and mental health.” She trains regularly The Dogpound gym, where she does a lot of strength training and weight lifting. “During the pandemic, when everything was paused, I created a little community. I’d get my friends together over Zoom and we would do Isaac Boots’s live workout classes. As the world started to reopen, I found myself obsessed with Dogpound,” she said.
