She says that she doesn't believe in dieting, and just focuses on balance."I don't diet and I don't have an eating plan, but I like to eat healthily.

I don't feel the need to be super skinny, but being in shape is important. But even if I wasn't in this industry I would still want to look after myself and be healthy and keep my body in good condition."
