Graham opened up about her health secrets to Refinery29. She says that she has cut out certain things in her diet. "I’ve become one of those annoying people who’s like, 'I’m not gonna eat white flour and I’m not gonna eat sugar.' I do eat sugar sometimes, but as a broad rule, I try to just eat no sugar basically, and I have to say I feel a lot better. And I will sometimes eat things with white flour, but I try to avoid white flour."

4. She Cooks Healthy Meals

Graham loves to cook, and she revealed her favorite meals to Refinery29. “One of the main things I make is a beer-can chicken. It’s got a paste on it that’s made of salt, pepper, and brown sugar. But that’s really one of the best things I’m making right now. I’m also making sweet potato fries, but I make baked wedge fries so they’re healthier. I make a really good salad with kale, chopped raw brussel sprouts, and toasted almonds. Everyone’s into kale. It does make you feel healthy."

5. She Moisturizes

Graham has amazing skin, and she makes sure to take care of it. “I like moisturizing a lot,” she told Refinery29. “My whole body, my face. I use this inexpensive Body Shop Nourishing Night Cream, and sometimes I’ll use Crème de la Mer."

Ashley detailed her diet to Daily Star. “Breakfast is my favourite meal of the day – smashed avocado, seeds, scrambled egg, chilli flakes and a slice of brown toast,” she said. "Lunch will be something like a tuna and sweetcorn sandwich and for dinner I love home-made chicken curry with lots of rice and spices. When it comes to snacks I like nut and dates – of the food and men type!”

3. Pizza Is Her Guilty Pleasure

Ashley allows herself to cheat. “I love pizza, but I’m not sure how much of a guilty pleasure it is because I don’t feel guilty about having it,” she told Daily Star. "I’d probably have it five times a week if I could. Chicken sweetcorn and mushrooms are my favourite toppings. I also adore mac and cheese!”

4. She Doesn’t Pay Attention to Numbers

“I don’t watch calories and I don’t weigh myself – I tend to think if it tastes good eat it,” Ashley told Daily Star. “I know the more exercise I do the more I eat, but I know if I’ve had pigged out a bit I tend to feel a bit disgusting so I make sure I load up with veg. And if my jeans feel tight then I cut back.”

5. She Battled Body Dysmorphia

Ashley has been very open about her struggles with body dysmorphia. “When my body dysmorphia was at its worst I would look in the mirror and had no concept of how I really looked, but be convinced I looked fat,” she revealed to Daily Star. "If there was the slightest bit of midriff or legs on show I’d think I looked disgusting and worried what were people were going to think. Exercise as a routine has really helped. When I was at uni I let exercise slip, now it’s part of my routine. They key is not to make it a chore – do something you love and incorporate it into your life. I also relied on the advice of friends to tell me how I looked.”

6. She Refuses to “Punish” Her Body

In her latest social media post, Ashley encourages her followers to love themselves. “Well, it's that time of year again! Our Christmas dinner has barely digested and we're already being bombarded with weight loss ads trying to convince us to feel insecure. Plugging the lie to us that we will be happier, healthier and more confident if we punish our bodies...But just because it's a New Year, it doesn't mean we need a new body! Please don't fall for this annual toxic narrative and remember that whether it's the latest celebrity weight loss program or a product - they are making money from your insecurities,” she wrote. “Of course, we should and could all aspire to be healthier! But health doesn't always equal weight loss - especially if it's some unsustainable diet or fitness regime. I was my most unhealthy when I was the smallest version of myself. It also never brought me confidence or love or a high self esteem. It did make me obsess over my appearance. Made me more self critical. And convinced me if I could just change my appearance I'd be happier and more loveable. I wasn't. It was only when I learned to love and accept myself, and appreciate that my value and the things that brought me joy weren't tied to my appearance,” she continued. “You deserve to enjoy food with family and friends. Don't let people convince you that you need to change your appearance so they can profit off your insecurities.”

I just enjoyed the day.” How does she stay so fit?

1. She Doesn’t Compare Herself To Others

Hayes is all about body-positivity and self-love. In this Instagram post, she talked about not wanting to compare herself to others, especially when it comes to social media. “I thought I would post this to try to remind you guys that SOCIAL MEDIA IS NOT REAL and things are so easily edited so please try not to stress and compare yourself or your life. BE KIND TO YOUR MIND. It’s something I have to remind myself daily because I subconsciously compare the chosen snapshot of life on people’s social media to my whole life warts and all. It’s unkind of me to do it to myself, but I do.”

2. She Does Activities With Her Kids

Hayes has two children, and she revealed in this Instagram post that she is doing a lot of physical activities with them. “One of the best things since my #gastricsleeve is being able to move more and spend more quality time with my boys,” she wrote in the caption. “In the left pic, I sat sweating due to my excess body weight watching my son play football. In the right, I had just beaten him at a race of the Monsal trail, so I was sweating for the right reasons! Last weekend I took the kids trampolining, next week we are going swimming. None of these activities were something I could have done before. Partly, because I felt so much shame I didn’t want to embarrass them but partly because I knew I would be in agony for days afterwards.”

3. She Got Gastric Sleeve

Hayes opened up about her decision to receive gastric sleeve surgery in an interview with New! Magazine. She says that she did a lot of research before choosing to have the procedure done. “I tried every single diet there is but I was completely out of control. If I was abusing alcohol or drugs the way I abused junk food, somebody would have intervened and done something about it. I felt as though there need to be more of a medical intervention, so I went away and spent a year researching it.”

4. She Eats Healthy

Hayes makes sure to eat healthy. She even shares some of her favorite meals on Instagram. She captioned this photo, “Grilled fillet of salmon with a low carb salad. Plenty of healthy, necessary fats in this one. Plus it’s absolutely gorgeous.” Hayes also posted this photo with the caption, “Early dinner for me: chicken breast, spinach, rocket, watercress, pine nuts, feta, tomatoes, green beans, lemon juice. Summery and beaut.”

5. She Enjoys Working Out

Hayes opened up about how life has changed since her surgery in this Instagram post. She says that she enjoys working out more. “Exercise is different now. I’ve always enjoyed working out (I’m actually a qualified PT, crazy as this may seem) but I actually feel proud to exercise and improve my body after all the junk I’ve been feeding it all these years. It’s my way of saying ‘hey body, I’m sorry for abusing you...here’s an olive branch’ (or a dumbbell).”
