1 She Is a "Fitness and Health Junkie"

Dove declared herself a "fitness and health junkie" to Women's Health . She revealed that she stays in shape with a weekly routine of cardio, body-weight strength training, and a mix of Pilates, barre, and cycling classes. Mixing up workout is a great way to stay motivated to exercise and avoid boredom. 

2 She Eats a Hearty Breakfast

Dove revealed to Delish that some of her favorite breakfast foods are avocado toast with salmon and a poached egg on top and flax seed oatmeal with flax seeds, chia seeds. A protein-rich breakfast is a great way to fuel your body for success. 

Dove eats salmon with vegetables for lunch, and chicken or fish with vegetables for dinner. "I tend to eat really clean, because I feel better when I do," she dished to Delish. Her guilty pleasure? "I really like British food. It's wholesome. I need hearty, carb-y food. I don't like sugar very much, but I like savory things like that."

Dove is trying to avoid red meat. "I just got to the point where if I eat red meat, my mood and energy plummet. I've just reached a weird moral point with it," she told Delish. Her substitute? A vegan burger with hummus on top. df44d9eab23ea271ddde7545ae2c09ec

5 She Bakes Gluten-, Sugar-, Dairy-Free Treats

Cameron loves baking secretly healthy food.  "I'm a terrible person. I like to trick people into eating something and then later tell them it's healthy. Because otherwise, people are like, 'this tastes healthy,'" she told Delish. "You have to make a gluten-free, sugar-free, dairy-free lemon bar, not tell anyone there's anything different about it, and when they all love it, you tell them."
