When Bartel did an Instagram story Q&A with her fans, she revealed a lot of her diet and wellness secrets. She revealed that she isn’t super strict or restrictive when it comes to her diet. “I have never calorie counted. I like food too much, and I believe in a little of everything in moderation. I have always had this approach with food and I think that's why I don't binge too much, as I don't deprive myself of certain foods.”

2. She Intermittent Fasts

In the same Q&A, Bartel revealed that she has started intermittent fasting, and she has been doing so since the beginning of lockdown. “I started intermittent fasting during Covid and felt really good, I would have my last meal at 7.30pm and eat again at 11.30am,” she wrote. “It was hard initially as I was a big breakfast eater so I was starved. But I suffer from a few stomach issues and it helped with my bloating etc and general energy levels. I have eased off a bit the last few months but keen to start it again.” "Research seems to be finding intermittent fasting benefits to weight, blood sugar, inflammation, and potentially to brain health," Isabel Smith, MS, RD, CDN, and founder of Isabel Smith Nutrition and Lifestyle, tells our sister site Eat This, Not That!

In the same Q&A, Bartel revealed some of the foods that she regularly incorporates into her diet. She says that she makes a lot of healthy choices when it comes to her diet. “I like to make healthy choices so I love fresh fish, vegetables and also carbs, pasta is big in my family,” she said. “My diet is very Mediterranean due to my Italian background, so I love nuts, olive oil, avocado etc (so good for our skin too). I also try to add a little protein at most meal times.”

4. She Practices Meditation

Bartel tells House of Wellness that she has a positive mindset at all times. She says that she thinks that it helps her in her daily life. “If you try to be positive and think differently, then I believe good things will happen to you,” she says. “Just because something bad happens, you shouldn’t become pessimistic about it. I’m not wired like that. Maybe it’s the breathing I do?”
