Hilary Duff Shows Off Her Bikini Body

It’s summer, and we all know what that means… Bathing suit season!

If you’re a little late shedding that winter weight, don’t fret. Hilary Duff is sharing her secrets to keeping her figure always ready for a skimpy suit. “My friend was on tour with me and we made each other eat healthy. We ate a lot of protein, lots of veggies and oatmeal for breakfast,” she told press.

But just because you’re trying to look your best, you should also occasionally indulge yourself to keep life fun. “We tried to find a healthy mix, but still eat things that you like, but doing a trade-off. For example, if we wanted to eat dessert, we tried not to eat bread before a meal, or if we wanted to eat bread, we tried to lose dessert.”

Hilary was looking every bit a beach babe at a Fourth of July celebration with her sister Haylie and friends at Melissa Lemer’s Silver Spoon Beach House. And her healthy eating habits contribute to an overall healthy lifestyle.

“Stay healthy, eat healthy, eat what is good for your body and what gives you energy — and feed your sweet tooth every once in a while. That is the best way to go,” Duff told press.
