hello everyone welcome back my channel Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Kate Upton reveals the one thing she'll never do to stay in shape Kate Upton is all about looking good From the Inside Out The Sports Illustrated swimsuit model entrepreneur and mom told Fox News digital she has developed plenty of healthy habits over the years and they are surprisingly simple Inside Out beauty is a big part of who I am said the 32-year-old but but there is one thing she refuses to do to maintain her famous figure I don't believe in calorie counting I believe in having highend ingredients so you're giving yourself premium fuel for me food is fuel and what you're putting in your body is what your body is going to give back to you so if you're looking for energy a better mood or strength you need to know what you're putting in your body it's not just about counting calories Upton a co-founder of canned pock ta brand vosa Spirits noted she likes to stock up on Fresh organic ingredients to look and feel her very best however that also means making some tweaks to her daily routine it's about having high-end ingredients and really staying consistent with how you treat yourself she said I always look to eat organic vegetables are a big part of my diet I also really like lean protein once you detox from preservatives and refined sugar your body will tell you what it needs when it comes to breaking a sweat Upton said she doesn't believe in Trends it is all about finding the best workout routine that suits your taste and lifestyle and sticking to it I believe in staying consistent she explained I do weight-based workouts to stay active in my life I'm also walking my dogs I always try to keep moving instead of killing myself I try to stay consistent and make it part of my lifestyle and I think that when you're trying to get fit your mental health is a big part of that I suggest to people who are trying to change their lifestyle to look at their Mental Health First and find out why they want to get healthy she continued small things can be big motivators but if it's just to fit into a certain size or see a number on a scale it's going to be a short-term plan if you find a bigger reason in your life whether it's to set a good example for your child to have more energy or to feel stronger and more capable or to let out some anger or frustration if you find bigger things it's easier to make that a part of your life and your lifestyle in October Forge reported that in her role with vosa Spirits Upton would have a Hands-On approach to developing new flavors and participate in packaging design and marketing strategies Upton said it was important that the liation aligned with her healthy habits I pay attention to what I put in my body she explained I cared about a preservative free formula also highquality ingredients mean fewer hangovers and I love the Synergy of it all I'm from Michigan the brands from Michigan and the manufacturing in Grand Rapids it felt like a right fit for me Michigan Winters are long and their summers are very limited so people need to enjoy a drink she chuckled however Upton has plenty on her plate these days she is on the cover of this year's Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue the magazine is celebrating its 60th anniversary Upton made her SI Swimsuit debut in 2011 when she was crowned Rookie of the Year she had her first solo cover in 2012 and had the cover again the following year in 2014 she appeared on the flip cover and then in 2017 she starred on the cover once more Sports Illustrated started my career she reflected they put me on the cover when I was 19 years old they gave me the platform to talk about big topics like health I'm still trying to figure out how to be in the spotlight but it was such a huge honor for me to come back for their six SC I'm at such a different place in my life now I'm a mother a wife it's a full circle moment the blonde bombshell insisted that like everyone else she has her good days and bad days being in front of a camera and a bathing suit is something that nobody wants to do she said that's just the truth of it it's like going Jane shopping nobody wants to try on a bunch of jeans the sizes are never the same and they're pulling at you nobody wants to be in front of a camera in their swimsuit but with Sports Illustrated Swimsuit it's so different their family I've known everyone on set for so long like photographer usai he's a close friend I feel so taken care of and there was such a love and a relaxed Vibe on the shoot that was a real Testament to where I am in my career the relationships I built and my mental state I just think that when you're in your 30s it gets better
