Add lemon juice to water
"Here's a simple trick," she says. "Add organic lemon juice to your water every day, and drink three liters of water. Adding 500 milligrams of ascorbic acid to your diet can speed up your metabolism by 33 percent."

Eliminate sugar
"Fat does not make you fat -- sugar does," she tells Us. "It's in everything, it's hidden. The body doesn't even register five grams and under, so as long as you keep it there, you don't have the insulin spikes and drops, which is key for weight loss."

"To get my abs, I obviously combine a lot of cardiovascular training, and you don't have to get on a treadmill," the Bravo reality star tells Us. "I've always said that crunches are a waste of time. A simple push-up is a much better core exercise."

Work out in intervals
"20 minutes is all you need for cardio," Warner says. To feel the burn, change the incline and speed on the treadmill to do what Warner calls High Intensity Interval Training. "That's one way to continue to not only maintain weight loss but also lose weight through the winter months," she explains.

Keep a training log
"You can eat if you're working out to intensity! But keep a log so you know what you've done," the trainer says. "It's about calories in, calories out. If you're burning 1000 calories a day, then you can consume without gaining weight. When you write [things] down, you'll see it's working."

Change up your gym routine
When it comes to logging workout hours, Warner says it's best to mix things up. "You need to not be afraid to use resistance and increase your weights," she tells Us. "Your body plateaus once a month so you have to change your cardio and weight resistance program once a month."

Pre-party planning
"Preparation is your best friend," Warner says, especially when it comes to gatherings. "Make sure before you go to parties you eat your own food first. Don't go hungry! If you have two parties to go to, don't drink the whole week until those parties. Then have two cocktails and choose them wisely."

Skip fruit juices
Warner suggests skipping fruit juice drinks and eating the whole fruit instead. "Juice hasn't touched my lips in 15 years. It's just loaded with sugar," she says. "[Juice doesn't] have much nutritional value. And you need the fiber of the whole fruit, which will curb and suppress sugar cravings."
