Outhwaite experimented with a new mindful way of eating during the pandemic lockdowns. "I've just done a couple of weeks of being meat and dairy-free, trying vegan ready meals," she says. "Now, the majority of what I eat is vegan and I'm eating meat or fish maybe once a week. It's about not cutting everything out, but being mindful about what I'm eating. I definitely feel better for it."
2. Cutting Down On Booze

Outhwaite cut down on her alcohol intake after realizing it made her feel terrible the next day. "It’s more of a hindrance, because if I do have a brilliant night and I love it, we’ve got stories for days about those good times,” she says. “But then I’ve got two days where I’m not very clear. And you know, five drinks can do that to me now.”
3. No Breakfast

Outhwaite avoids eating breakfast, preferring to wait until later in the day for her first meal. “I never feel like eating in the morning,” she says. “And if I have breakfast, I’m hungry again at 11am. The exception is if I’m filming and there’s catering on set. For lunch, I have a salad and rice or pasta, plus lots of veg or salad.”
4. Fruit For a Snack

Outhwaite indulges her sweet tooth with fresh fruit, preferring it to refined sugar. “Fruit and vegetables are a good source of vitamins and minerals, including folate, vitamin C and potassium,” says the NHS. “They're an excellent source of dietary fiber, which can help to maintain a healthy gut and prevent constipation and other digestion problems. A diet high in fibre can also reduce your risk of bowel cancer.”
5. Chicken and Vegetables For Dinner
Outhwaite enjoys protein and vegetables for her dinner. “We all eat our evening meals at different times, whenever we’re hungry,” she says. “But we all sit down together on a Sunday, either for a roast or my chicken marinated in honey and soy sauce with rice, peas and broccoli.”
