1. She Likes Smaller Meals

Handler prefers to eat smaller meals throughout the day over three larger meals. "I always make sure I have something every three to four hours because a nutritionist once taught me it's the best way to control your blood sugar levels," she tells Women’s Health. "I think when you consistently feed your body, you have less of an inclination to [pig out]," she explains. "I like to eat light and I don't overdo it now. When I'm eating, I take my time and pay attention to when I'm full."

2. She Intermittent Fasts

Handler says she likes to wait as long as possible to eat breakfast in the morning before breaking her fast with celery juice. “Celery is a good source of vitamin K, folate and potassium, so juicing large amounts may act like a multivitamin drink,” says Emma Rueth, MS, RDN, LDN. “One bunch of celery may be too filling to consume at once. However, if juicing that bunch only produces 8 ounces of juice, you could easily consume that amount of liquid in one sitting.”

3. She Makes Time For Therapy

Handler credits therapy with being extremely beneficial to her mental health. “I had gone a long time without ever sitting down to contemplate or reflect,” Handler says. “And therapy changed that. It gives you the gift of self-awareness.”

4. She Loves Turkey

Handler eats plenty of turkey in the form of sliced deli meat and meatballs, and usually picks something turkey-based for dinner. “Low in fat and richer in protein than chicken, turkey is a lean meat and a good choice for those looking to reduce their fat intake,” says registered nutritionist Kerry Torrens. “However, its high protein, low fat content means the meat can cook quickly and become dry. A number of methods including brining, adding fattier ingredients and jointing the bird for more even cooking, may be useful to retain moisture.”

5. She Keeps a Healthy Balance

Handler feels better when she avoids “heavy foods”—but won’t turn down her favorite pasta. "I don't like heavy foods, like pasta with cream sauce, the way I used to,” she says. "I just don't like the way I feel after. I stay away from heavy rice and gluten and anything like that. If I'm at a really good restaurant and they have incredible pasta, I'll totally have it, but I try not to do that on a regular basis.”

1. She’s Comfortable With Her Body

Turner is comfortable with her body. She tells Female First, "I'd love to be one of those people born with a curvy, toned figure, but I'm happy with my shape. I don't really care. And I wouldn't like to be stick thin." "Once you've learned which situations affect your self-esteem, notice your thoughts about them. This includes what you tell yourself (self-talk) and how you view the situations. Your thoughts and beliefs might be positive, negative or neutral. They might be rational, based on reason or facts. Or they may be irrational, based on false ideas. Ask yourself if these beliefs are true. Would you say them to a friend? If you wouldn't say them to someone else, don't say them to yourself," says the Mayo Clinic.

2. She Trained For A Role

To prepare for her role in Our Girl, Turner had to get in shape. She revealed her process to The Mirror. “I did quite a bit of basic training like running and going to the gym. I thought I was quite fit until I got to Pirbright. I was talking to one of the soldiers and watching them do the assault courses.”

3. She Doesn’t Have Regrets

Turner doesn’t second guess her decisions. She tells The Mirror that she has no regrets, especially when it comes to career choices. Turner talked about her departure from EastEnders in the interview. “I miss it but I’ve never regretted leaving. I try not to have regrets. I feel if you’ve done something then the decision has been made and you should move on.”

4. She Doesn’t Restrict Herself

Turner is open about how she isn’t the healthiest eater. However, she tells The Mirror that she is working on a new eating plan. Turner says that she tries to not restrict herself too much on any diet, and that her current plan allows her to do that. “What I really like about my current diet is that I can have bread,” she says. “But with this you can have crumpets. I nearly had a heart attack when I found out! And you can have honey on it, yoghurt, berries. You can even have mayonnaise.

5. She Speaks Out

She captioned it, “Since the lockdown, in just one 24 hour period, Refuge’s National Domestic Abuse Helpline recorded a 120% increase in calls.Now, more than ever, @RefugeCharity needs your help to keep the helpline running.
