1. She Does Not Use the Word “Diet”

“I used to do that whole thing of, ‘I’m not going to go near chocolate’ and all that happens is that three days later it’s all I’m craving and I just go mental,” she told Women’s Health. “I don’t want to create a negative cycle. I don’t want my children to have a bad body image so I don’t want them to see me sitting there sucking in my stomach or looking at myself negatively. I want them to see me eating well. I won’t use the word diet. I won’t even call a Diet Coke by its name – in my house it’s known as a DC.”

2. She Watches Her Portions

Klass has an Austrian father and a Filipino mother. “You've got to be realistic,” she told Express. “I try and move and I make sure that I watch my portions, that’s what I have to careful with….Filipino culture is minimum two plates, sometimes go up for a third just to show that you’ve enjoyed that meal. But that can play havoc.”

3. She Watches Her Carb Intake

“Definitely watch your carb intake if you want to lose weight. Don’t cut it out all together but because then you only have to look at a potato and you doomed when you go back on them,” she told Express. When it comes to choosing carbs, “focus on eating fiber-rich fruits and vegetables,” says the Mayo Clinic. “Aim for whole fresh, frozen and canned fruits and vegetables without added sugar.” And: “Choose whole grains. Whole grains are better sources than refined grains of fiber and other important nutrients, such as B vitamins. Refined grains go through a process that strips out parts of the grain — along with some of the nutrients and fiber.”

4. She Wants to Stay Fit For Her Kids

​​"I want to stay fit for my girls and set an example to them. I want to feel strong," Myleene explained to Hello. "I've incorporated boxing into the workout because I love how it makes me feel afterwards." She even released a fitness DVD, MyBody by Myleene Klass, that reflects her workout strategies. "The way that I approach fitness has definitely changed over the years. When I was in my teens I used to dance all the time. I was in a West End show, so I was dancing seven, no, nine times a week in those shows and it was really easy for me," she said.

5. She Loves Herself the Way She Is

“I'm not naturally slim. I’m 5ft 5in and I’m not a model. Because I’m not a model, I’ve learnt to make the best of what I’ve got – short legs and bandy arms and a long back and terrible posture, but I don’t wish to be anything else. It’s my points of difference that have made me a success,” she told Women’s Health.

Klass tells The Sun that she has made changes to her diet, but does them slowly over time. “You don’t need to overhaul what you eat. Slowly introduce things.

She revealed that she eats healthy each day, and varies what foods she chooses in each meal, and how heavy it is. “For breakfast, me and the girls have porridge with ­different toppings – banana, berries, raisins. Lunch is lighter. I’m on the go so I’ll have something light like grilled chicken, and I love salads. Supper is meat and veg.”

After having her second child, Halliwell opened up about her post-baby struggles to The Mirror. She says that she is no longer concerned with losing weight, and is focusing on herself. Hallwell also encouraged other women to do the same. “Women go through so much, looking after themselves, looking after their families, getting their legs waxed, being a good wife, girlfriend... so many plates spin. Whether you’re a giraffe, a hippo or a flamingo, you’re OK. I think we need to take the pressure off women about how they look and bouncing back after baby weight. It’s not fair, and I’m questioning how helpful it is to say to women ‘omg you’ve just gone snap back’. Every single body is different.”

The resistance of water also allows you to work out vigorously with little chance of injury,” says Harvard Health.

"Whether it is a park in your neighborhood or exploring the vast landscapes of national forests and grasslands, there are benefits to be had when we step outside," says the Forest Service. “Wellness is wholistic in that it is comprised of physical and mental health as well as the health of our communities,” Michelle Kondo, a research social scientist with the USDA Forest Service's Northern Research Station, told them. “All of these benefits add up and reduce adverse impacts on our bodies, and have restorative characteristics. So get outdoors and enjoy nature’s gift of wellness.”

Hearing from her family stuck in Ukraine, was absolutely heartbreaking. Ukrainians are strong and United while facing this unreal war. If Ukraine stops fighting there will be no Ukraine. One of the tragic yet beautiful calls from her sibling who was trying to flee and stay with her family, was going to go back in and fight to stand strong against PUTIN. That’s the character and moral of Ukrainians. Women refusing to leave as their husbands prepare to fight back.They are beautiful and strong, this will be the biggest refugee situation this century. Please donate, and to @kseniya__stone we stand with you, we stand with Ukraine.”
