Macpherson broke down some of her wellness and diet secrets to Harper's Bazaar. She says that one of her big ones is favoring a consistent lifestyle, rather than going on diets or cleanses. "I believe in maintenance, I'm not a big binge and purge person," she says. "I think it's really important to maintain wellness year-round. Not because it looks good but it actually feels good – which is really important when you're running a business and you've got kids and a full life."

While Macpherson doesn't believe in cleanses and diets, she does believe in cutting out some ingredients at points in the year. She tells Harper's Bazaar that she cuts wheat and sugar out, when bikini season is on the way. "Coming up for summer, what I try to cut out is wheat and sugar. If you love bread and butter, that would be what I'd give up for the summer. For me it's a 'fine tune' more than anything else."

It's a bit different – but I'm never hungry and I eat quite a lot. Today I had a super bowl with quinoa, beets, goats cheese, sweet potato and rocket with olive oil and it was fabulous, I felt completely nourished.
