WHAT THE TV FITNESS STAR ATE ONE DAY LAST WEEK
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.BEING on GMTV means I have to get up very early: around 4am or 5am. I had a bowl of porridge before I left, and some bananas and apples on the way to work. I have to have lots of fuel in the morning, otherwise I find myself getting low around 9 o'clock. If I'm hungry during the day I snack on fruit. I rarely drink tea or coffee and never fizzy drinks. Occasionally I have a cup of hot water or a cold drink to keep me going.
I don't follow any special diet, although last month I decided to cut out red meat as it is very fatty. I've never had a sweet tooth, and I suppose healthy eating comes fairly naturally to me. I never eat any sugar or sweeteners now, though in the past I had the odd chocolate bar, usually with nuts. When I first cut sugar out of my diet I got very bad head-aches, withdrawal symptoms I suppose. My nutritionist told me to eat lots of pasta to make up for it and I've been fine ever since.
I went home for lunch and had fish, which I eat a lot. I usually get home about 12, so lunch is around 12.30. If I'm filming in the afternoon I take a lunchbox with nuts, sesame seeds and raisins to nibble, otherwise I get tempted by junk food.
I had an evening class, so I had a cheese sandwich and a malt drink before I went out. After the class I went back home and had supper: more fish with steamed vegetables, rice, avocado and salad. I don't really think about healthy eating though it is important for me to keep healthy, but I do it mainly through all the exercise.
