5. Julianne Hough

And there's also the fact that she grows her own food—seriously! She tells Fitbiethat having her own garden motivates her to eat better.
1. Hayden Panettiere
The knockout Nashville star got this body from smart strength training and mindful eating.

And to curb junk food cravings, she makes herself eat something healthy before grabbing something indulgent. "Then I don't want the unhealthy thing so much, because I'm full," says Hayden.You May Also Like
