Kate Hudson Weight Loss Tip & Tricks: Star Admits Weight Fluctuation — Secrets to her Sexy Bod Here!

By Staff Reporter | Feb 04, 2016 | 05:30 AM EST

Kate Hudson is breaking the "sexy, healthy" stereotype by embracing her body as her own and highlighting the importance of body acceptance.

The 36-year-old actress and mother of two is releasing a lifestyle book titled "Pretty Happy: Healthy Ways to Love Your Body," which details how to become "healthy, strong and beautiful from the inside out," People reports.

Hudson shared that after years of "yo-yo dieting," she is now fulfilled by a lifestyle that involves body acceptance, explaining, "It's about health and mindfulness because you can have the greatest body and you can be really unhappy if that's all you're working toward."

Hudson, who is also the founder of the workout and activewear clothing line Fabletics, admits that her weight fluctuates at least five pounds every month, which is a healthy, normal range.

"I really want to reach people that are asking, 'How do I get there?' A lot of people are quite discouraged by the process of getting healthy because one, they think they can't afford it, and two, it's daunting," Hudson explained. "I wanted to start a dialogue. Because you won't be able to even get there until you actually accept yourself and start connecting with yourself."

Hollywood Life reports that Hudson enjoys switching it up, from doing Tracy Anderson worouts, to Body by Simone, to Pilates. She also admits that she does make time for exercise despite her hectic schedule. Of course, exercise is paired with a diet, and Hudson's involves a five meal diet throughout the day. She has breakfast, a postworkout protein shake, a salad for lunch, and a late-afternoon snack before dinner. She also admits to eating less at night.

Hudson says that her new book is a "not meant to be a tell-all, but rather a tell-true," as per ABC News.

"I think we've put so much focus on the results that everybody is forgetting to enjoy the process and I think we've put so much focus on the results that everybody is forgetting to enjoy the process," Hudson explained.

"People make excuses, 'Oh, it's genetics or this or that.' I'm not talking about aesthetics, I'm actually talking about health," she continued. "You can have aesthetic goals, that's one piece of the puzzle. You can see images of men or women and say, 'Oh, that's my goal, that's what I'd like to look like some day'. But that's not going to get you there in a way that embodies and encompasses what it is to really feel strong mentally and physically."

"Pretty Happy: Healthy Ways to Love Your Body" will be available on bookshelves on Feb. 16.
