When Academy Award winner Reese Witherspoon, the “Legally Blonde” star talks about the perfect summer body (read the perfect summer bikini body), fans tend to sit up and listen. 

The gorgeous 45-year-old who has three children and is married to Jim Toth looks half her age and has a body to die for. 

Of course, she also has a fantastic sense of humor which is why more than 26 million fans follow her on Instagram. 

So here’s Witherspoon’s secret to a summer body and it’s something that is making her fans teary-eyed…

This picture of Reese Witherspoon makes her look like something on a Good Housekeeping magazine cover, perfectly attired for a summer day at the pool.

Fans were only too happy to comment, one writing, “I truly thought this was a throwback pic of you at like 22.”

Selma Blair also took to appreciating this picture, commenting, “The best photograph. Makes me feel so happy. That pool. That pink! 💘”

Jessica Capshaw also wrote, “You’re the cutest in the world.”

Meanwhile, is getting your summer outfit right the secret to summer bodies? Well, not quite…

Okay, we get the gist here. Chocolate comes from cocoa that comes from the cacao bean. So chocolate is plant food. Ergo, chocolate and anything made from it, including dish-sized cookies are salad. Or so Reese Witherspoon would have you believe. 

Clearly, the secret to a summer body is not eating right… 

As Reese puts it herself, “The snack in between the meals and all the other snacks. *Stay tuned for more health tips 🤗”

Plus, she’s already into vacation mode, and that means giant-sized drinks. Have a look. 

So, what is the secret to a summer body?

Reese has it, and she is more than happy to let on her secret to a perfect summer body. 

So if it’s not eating right or dressing right, is it a new kind of fitness routine? Again, nope. 

It is making her fans go teary-eyed (although again, we have to say, it has got nothing to do with onions). 

More comments on her latest IG post read, “I’m glad that I lived to see this😄” although there were a few cynics out there too, one writing, “I love the sentiment but man I still wish I was as thin as you.”

So here goes the “secret”, and remember to swipe right to see it all…

So if you did swipe right, you know her secret.

And if you didn’t, well, here’s what she had to say…

“Here are my tips on how to have the perfect summer body: 
1. Have a body
That’s it. That’s the tip.”

So that’s what Reese believes, all bodies are the perfect summer body. If that is not the best body-positive message yet, we don’t know what is. 

As a fan put it. “Keep being Reese”, while another said, “u don’t even know how much I needed this today. thank you!”

Here’s to double perfection and then, Jennifer Aniston‘s go-to comfort food…
