According to Good Housekeeping, Hurley recently revealed the answer to the "one question" the world has been dying to know.

"One question I get asked all the time is, how do you stay in shape and what do you eat?" she recently wrote on Instagram, according to the outlet.

"So here goes. My mantra is: don’t eat too much, too fast, too often or too late. Or, put another way, eat smaller meals, chew properly, ban snacking and eat dinner earlier… Other than diet, my other advice is to move more. I don’t go to the gym or do any set exercise but I’m extremely active. There endeth the sermon," she wrote.
