The Secret to Melania's Svelte Figure Revealed: From Ankle Weights to a Fruit-Lover's Paradise

As the world watches, Melania Trump, 55, has continued to stun with her toned physique and radiant glow. But what's behind her enviable figure? According to sources close to the First Lady, it all starts with a healthy diet and strict exercise regimen – but there's more to the story than meets the eye.

In an exclusive revelation, GQ has spilled the beans on Melania's secret weapon: ankle weights! The stylish Slovenian stunner allegedly wears these hidden gems most days, increasing her calorie burn by a whopping 5-15 percent. And that's not all – her fitness routine also includes Pilates and tennis, both of which can be done at home or at Mar-a-Lago.

But let's get down to business: what's on the menu for this fashion icon? According to Inside Edition, Melania starts each day with a fruit-filled smoothie packed with spinach, carrots, blueberries, apples, and fat-free yogurt. And don't even get her started on fresh fruit – she gobbles up a whopping seven pieces daily, with peaches and apples being her top picks.

Insider sources have also dished out details of the former model's breakfast plates, which typically feature sliced banana, pineapple, blueberries, and raspberries. But don't worry, folks – this beauty isn't all about indulgence. She's also a fan of salmon, edamame, and avocado salads. And as for treats? She indulges in a Diet Coke (served in a glass, of course!), a piece of dark chocolate, and the occasional $68 chicken parmigiana from Jean-Georges at the Trump International Hotel & Tower New York.

Now, you might be wondering: what about plastic surgery and injectables? Well, according to GQ's 2016 interview with Melania, she's adamant that her healthy lifestyle is the key to her youthful appearance. "A lot of people say I am using all the procedures for my face. I didn't do anything," she insisted. "I live a healthy life, I take care of my skin and my body... I'm against Botox, I'm against injections – I think it's damaging your face, damaging your nerves. It's all me. I will age gracefully, as my mom does."

And what about her famously toned arms? According to David Plasse, owner of New York's Plasse Strength, Melania likely maintains her sculpted physique through "consistent, full-body strength training" with a trainer twice a week. We're talking dumbbell lateral raises, alternating cable bicep curls, and dumbbell kickbacks – the works!

So there you have it, folks: the secrets behind Melania's svelte figure are out. And while we can't help but admire her dedication to fitness and health, we can't help but wonder what other surprises this enigmatic beauty has in store for us.
