​She Skips Meals to Indulge

In an Instagram video, Bethenny divulged details about how she stays "so thin" with her followers. "How do I stay so thin? So, I pick my spots," she said. "If I know I'm going to some crazy doughnut place or hotdog place, I may not have the meal that comes before that. But I won't not eat at all, otherwise, you're gonna go there and overeat on that. It'll just be a light day."

​She Practices Portion Control

Bethenny also believes in practicing portion control. "I'm also not eating all the doughnuts, or all the hotdogs or all the pizza," she explained. "You're really tasting everything, eating nothing," she added, noting that she never binges. "I never eat to the point where I'm full," she said. "Not never, but sometimes. I do not like the feeling of being full. It's uncomfortable. So if you never eat until you get full, you'll be fine."

​She Eats Slow

She is also conscious of her eating. "I'm also a slow eater and I chew slowly," she continued. "I chew my food thoroughly."

​She Doesn't Exercise

In another TikTok video, she revealed that exercise is not part of her daily routine. "I don't workout and I don't do weights," she said. "I do what I can, when I can. "I'll snowboard if I can, I'll surf if I can. I'll walk on the beach," she said.
