She is a famous actress in the once popular American television sitcom Fuller House.

Even though she is 40 years old, actress Candace looks no different than she did 15 years ago.

She feels better about her body now than she did 15 years ago, before she had three children.

Below are some secrets to help her stay young and healthy:

1. Eat plant foods

Candace admits that diet is crucial to maintaining her figure and career.

Although 40 years old, the actress is still young.

However, she does not follow any particular diet but is mainly vegan, with occasional eggs or fish.

2. Stay away from dairy, refined sugar and white flours

Candace has no food allergies, nor is she trying to lose weight. While she is not a nutritionist, she has her own reasons for avoiding these ingredients in her diet because they are unhealthy.

3. Eat carbs before exercise and protein after.

Candace works out for 30 minutes to an hour every day, but on rare occasions, like when she reunites with her longtime Trainer Kira Stokes, she'll spend more time, 2-2.5 hours.

To keep her energy up during her workouts, Candace eats grains, nuts, or other sources of carbohydrates before she starts her workouts. She then eats a protein-rich snack to help her muscles recover.

4. Eat a variety of foods

As she gets older, she tries to eat a variety of foods. She has a protein shake for breakfast every day and looks for foods like quinoa with kale, beets, carrots, tofu, or tuna, even when eating out.

5. Stop eating before you are full

"Listen to your stomach and stop eating when you feel satisfied, but not too full, because if you force yourself to eat, you may lose all the extra food you ate and will feel uncomfortable," Candace shared.

6. Find a partner who is also a healthy eater like you

Candace says she and her husband eat the same diet. While vastly different tastes won't make or break a strong relationship, having similar tastes makes it easier to make healthy food choices for both of you—especially when you have kids down the road. "We'll cook what we want to eat, and then we'll make something else for the kids," Candace explains.

7. Cook at home instead of eating out and divide portions for each person

Candace considers family meals very important, so all five members of the Bure family eat lunch together regularly.

Dinner is often divided into portions and food amounts for each person, not for the whole family to eat together. This is a good way to ensure nutrition and food volume suitable for each person's needs.

8. Follow the 80% rule

Candace follows these rules about 80% of the time. And on special occasions, when she goes to parties, these rules may deviate a bit, showing that the rules are followed somewhat.
