On Tuesday, theReal Housewives of Beverly Hillsstar, 54, posted a photo of herself laying poolside in a bikini. She responded to a commenter who asked about her physical transformation and how she’s recently prioritized her health.
“NO alcohol, bread, pasta, sugar. I eat protein, fruit and vegetables,” Richards wrote. “Now that I am the weight I want to be, I will have the occasional small amount of pasta etc once in a while. But no alcohol since July 15.”
“I workout every day. Chasing it up between running, cycling, hiking and yoga. Weights & stomach everyday,” she added of her fitness routine.
Richards also shut down several commenters who claimed she has a tummy tuck, assuring fans that she simply knows what to do in the gym and what she should and shouldn’t eat.
