Diet: Load Up On Veggies
"Make sure to have at least two large servings of vegetables per meal — any combination of raw, steamed, stir-fried, grilled or roasted will do," explains celebrity nutritionist Oz Garcia, who works with Heidi Klum. "Veggies give you much-needed fiber, which keeps you feeling full." Try eating a green salad before meals, so you fill up on the good stuff!

Workout: Hit The TreadMill
"Add interval training twice a week," explains David Barton of DavidBartonGym, whose members include Pink and Gwen Stefani. "Try doing one-minute sprints with 30-second rests for 20 minutes total. This will burn more calories than running at the same pace. In general, driving your heart rate up and down burns fat fast."
Audrina's stay-slim secret is that she keeps her gym bag packed with these must-haves, so there's never an excuse to skip a workout!
1. Refreshing Scent...Leila Lou, Roll-on Fragrance
"I love this light and fresh fragrance, and because it's a roll-on, it's super-easy to swipe some on anytime, anyplace," the star tells OK!.
2. Skin Soother...Arcona, Triad Pads
"These toning face pads are great for freshening up after a workout," says the 24-year-old. "And I love the way they smell and feel."
