Maintain Balance
According to Charlotte, who majorly slimmed down in 2014 and has been a fitness inspiration ever since, balance and moderation are key. "You don't have to be stupidly disciplined. It's about having a balance of everything. It's important to allow yourself a cheat day or two, otherwise you have more chance of quitting altogether. It's good to have that one day where you eat what you want, because then you work towards it," she told Now to Love.
Eat Healthy
Achieving a fabulous figure like Charlotte doesn't take an extreme diet. "Eat the best you can, sticking to a healthy, balanced diet six days a week. Try to have no more than one big night out a week, and aim to do an extra bit of exercise on the day you're going out to compensate," she tells Now to Love.
Exercise First Thing in the AM
Charlotte suggests exercising on the earlier side – and making it short but intense! "A quick workout in the morning – I do my Belly Blitz. Even 20 minutes burns about 250 calories [1046kJ]. And later on, go on a walk with your mate," she suggests as an efficient fitness method to Now to Love.
Cheat Within Reason
Charlotte is all about the occasional cheat meal, but in moderation. "Take your cheat day after a night out, when you'll eat a bit bad, anyway. But don't go overboard – a cheat day doesn't mean you should stuff yourself for the entire day!" she told Now to Love.
Hydrate
Charlotte makes sure to hydrate. "Drink plenty of water. I try to drink three litres per day. The main cause of a hangover is dehydration, so if you keep flushing your system out, you don't feel as hungover, which means you won't have cravings!" she tells Now to Love.
Eat Like Her
If you want to eat like Charlotte, make sure to nourish yourself with filling food. She detailed her diet to Now to Love:
Breakfast: "I have a rota going so I don't get bored – I'll have poached eggs on toast twice a week, porridge once, yoghurt and fruit
once. If you're having the same every day, you're more likely to slip up," she said.
Lunch: "I mostly have just soup or something, then I have a bigger meal at night time."
Dinner: "Usually just meat and veg. I only eat steak once or twice a month, because it's hard to digest."
Find Workout Buddies
Charlotte enlists the help of workout buddies. Why does she break a sweat with her friends instead of alone? Because it "doesn't make it a chore, it just takes away that part of what you dread about exercising," she explained to The Express.
Mix Up Your Workouts
Charlotte maintains variety with her workouts to avoid getting bored. "Every day I do something different," she told The Express. "Variation is key because sticking to the same thing over and over again gets boring and you get sick [of it]."
