Southern Charm’s Madison LeCroy is always sharing her tips and tricks when it comes to her diet and fitness routines.

LeCroy began her wellness journey by completing the 75 Soft Challenge in summer 2024 and before transitioning into 75 Hard for 2025. Both 75 Soft and 75 Hard are fitness challenges created by author and entrepreneur Andy Frisella. The programs encourage participants to stick to six strict lifestyle rules for 75 days straight.

As part of the respective 75 challenges, LeCroy has done Pilates workout sessions, cold plunges, sauna sweats and other exercises. While LeCroy has done her fair share of classes in a gym, she also has a state-of-the-art home gym where she does a majority of her training.

In addition to the fitness aspect, LeCroy has also implemented healthy recipes into her diet, including her go-to big breakfast salad. Most of the reality star’s creations are alternatives to classic junk food options.

Keep scrolling to see some of LeCroy’s best advice during her health and wellness journey:

New Year Motivation

As LeCroy jumped into her new year’s fitness resolution, she shared some motivating words of encouragement for those who were struggling.

“It’s that first week of January where we were all like, ‘Alright I’m over this, I’m over Dry January, I’m over eating healthy and working out every day.’ But we’re going to keep going,” she declared in a January 2024 TikTok video. “We’re gonna be strong, we’re gonna be healthy — that’s the main key for all of this.”

LeCroy then shared what her workout of the day entailed: stretching, a treadmill run, a 45-minute sauna session and a three-minute cold plunge.

Off the Wagon

The Bravo personality took to TikTok to open up about how she strayed away from her diet.

“Can I tell you what I ate today? So I worked out, sat in the sauna, lost some more weight. Then I ate a big-ass Philly cheesesteak foot-long sub with a side of six wings medium-well or hot, with blue cheese. Literally, I stuck a straw in the blue cheese and drank that s—,” she recalled in a January 2024 TikTok. “Last night, I had a tuna sandwich with both bread and Mountain Dew.”

In the video caption, LeCroy added she wanted to grieve in “peace.”

Team Cottage Cheese

LeCroy introduced her followers to one of her go-to snacks, which she likes to make with vegetables and cottage cheese.

“If you don’t like cottage cheese, swipe up and grow up,” LeCroy joked in an April 2024 TikTok. “I heard somebody else say that and I was like, ‘Valid.’ So normally what I would do is cottage cheese and then I will end up adding red pepper flakes, truffle salt — which I’m obsessed with. I add a few veggies. If you actually want to add more protein to this, you could do a hard-boiled egg.”

While LeCroy didn’t want to spend the time boiling an egg, she did add everything bagel seasoning to give her dish some crunch.

Beauty Sleep Prep

In addition to diet and exercise, LeCroy also makes getting a restful slumber a priority. In an April 2024 TikTok, she showed off her recipe for a drink she likes to indulge in before bed.

“Doing my sleepy girl mocktail. Tart cherry juice, this is the one I like,” she said while holding up the drink bottle to the camera. “Y’all know I’ve been doing this since January. Went a little heavy … on the magnesium.”

LeCroy added that adding some cherries gives the beverage more of a cocktail feel.

Baking Mishaps

LeCroy showed off to her followers in a May 2024 TikTok that she was going to make a cake using a boxed mix from the grocery store.

“Alright, we’re making a cake, yellow with chocolate icing. There’s nothing skinny about this,” she teased before being joined by husband Brett Randle. “Fun fact, Brett is a baker … so he despises that I actually do [from a box] vs. from scratch.”

While preparing the cake mix, LeCroy realized she didn’t have enough eggs and had to send Randle out to borrow some from a neighbor. After securing the eggs, LeCroy and Randle found themselves in another baking catastrophe as the cake started to crumble while they were frosting it.

“This looks like the cake from Matilda. It was going well last time,” she said. “It’s all about how it tastes, it’s a lava cake!”

Rocky Start

As LeCroy began her journey with 75 Soft, she faced some struggles as she began the new lifestyle transition.

“I am day two on 75 Soft, I know you’ve heard of 75 Hard, but let’s be honest. I’m not gonna go 75 days through the summer and on vacation and not have a pina colada,” LeCroy said in a June 2024 TikTok video. “So my problem with this is the water intake. I did my size and height and I’m supposed to take in 96 ounces of water a day, which is six pounds. I feel like I’m f—ing drowning.”

LeCroy joked that she felt like she was being “poisoned” by drinking so much liquid. While the reality star shared her frustration with the task, she admitted she knew she’d be “happy” once she started seeing results.

Getting Salty

LeCroy got candid about why she’s not afraid to add a healthy amount of salt and other seasonings to her meals.

“I kind of put the salt everywhere,” she said in a June 2024 TikTok. “I know that people are like, ‘It’s bad for you.’ But I think if you’re sweating and you’re doing sauna and all that kind of stuff, you can get away with having a little salt. It’s not gonna kill you.”

Giving Things Another Try

LeCroy was making another healthy snack recipe and wanted to include an ingredient she’s not usually fond of.

“I’m going to be completely honest with you guys. I am not a plain yogurt fan,” she admitted in an August 2024 TikTok. “It tastes like sour cream to me, but I’m trying to get better at it.”

While LeCroy was not a fan of the yogurt’s smell, she decided to make a parfait with honey, granola and berries. After taking a bite, LeCroy was pleasantly surprised by how good it tasted.

Fasting Cleanse

In August 2024, LeCroy participated in the five-day program from Prolon which mimicked a fasting diet and gave her followers updates on how it was going.

“I’ve been doing these probably three times a year. I’m going out of town so I need to lean out the fluff,” she said in a TikTok while preparing one of Prolon’s soups. “You get crackers [with the meal], so I like to break them up and I’ll split it since I only get soup for dinner.”

In a follow-up video, LeCroy shared that she typically does not do intense workouts while on the cleanse but will do her typical cold plunge sessions. For day three, LeCroy confessed that this was the “hardest day” of the program and she made a “mistake” by weighing herself.

“I was only down, like, a pound and a half, and you don’t see that weight until you wake up on the sixth day because it’s only five days,” she reflected in a TikTok. “The reason why day three is pretty hard is because you’re kind of limited … you don’t get the olives and instead of snacks you just get tea.”

After completing the cleanse, LeCroy took to social media to celebrate.

“Abs are checked in. Thank goodness,” she said in a clip while showing off her toned stomach. “Now I can go get bloated on vacation and enjoy all the food and drinks that I possibly can consume.”

Comfort Food Dupes

LeCroy always has a few recipes up her sleeve that mimic some of her favorite dishes, one being mac and cheese.

“So I am going to make something that is not healthy but it is better than macaroni and cheese as far as health goes,” she said in August 2024 TikTok. “It’s still got a lot of cream and cheese and all the Southern things every casserole and their mama has. It’s a squash casserole.”

The TV personality noted that she typically cuts up six squash before boiling them and then combining them with cream, cheese and seasonings. Once the meal was ready, LeCroy paired the dish with a salad.

Guilt-Free Snacks

LeCroy got a hankering for something to nosh on after dinner.

“I’ll do the kale. Now don’t swipe up yet, because I promise you this is [good],” she said in September 2024 TikTok as she filled up a bowl with kale. “It does dehydrate ’cause we’re going to use the air fryer. You could use an oven, but this is just the easy way.”

Before popping the leafy green into the air fryer, LeCroy sprayed the kale with olive oil cooking spray, salt and ranch seasoning. LeCroy gushed that she finds this recipe to be “better than popcorn” and tastes like a “cool ranch Dorito.”

Her Kitchen Essentials

In January 2025, LeCroy took to her Instagram Story to share that she was starting the 75 Hard challenge and wanted to give fans a glimpse of what her meal planning entailed.

“Nothing fancy! The meals I’m sharing are exactly what they look like. If you see a turkey patty, it’s straight from the store — no secret recipes, no homemade sauces and definitely no lettuce fresh from my garden (because I don’t have one!),” she wrote at the time. “I simply make foods and meals I enjoy, especially when I’m working on a program like 75 Hard. I’m happy y’all are excited about it!”
