Vicky Pattison is living it up in Jamaica – in her swimsuit. The 35-year-old Geordie Shore star shows off her amazing body in a bathing suit in one of her latest vacation photos, taken at Sandals in Montego Bay. “Get me in the sun,” she captioned the Instagram Story image. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Vicky Pattison stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. She Tried WW

Vicky has struggled with her weight over the years. “I was recently told that my previous lifestyle was not actually healthy for me and was shocked to learn it was having an impact on my fertility. For me, joining WW is not just about being a certain size, but it’s about being healthy and giving my body a fighting chance so I can hopefully have kids one day,” she told Hello about her decision to sign up.

2. She Found “Balance”

Vicky recently opened up about her body image struggles over the years, sharing photos of herself at every size. "I used to be cruel to the girl in the first photo... I let her eat what she wanted but I constantly berated her."Called her names and made her feel worthless. Just because of a number on a scale,” she wrote. "I was cruel to the girl in the second photo aswell but in an entirely different way. I would count how many blueberries I put on my porridge, restrict my calories and weaponise exercise. That girl was a nervous wreck." She explained that no matter the size she was left "unhappy," and struggled with "anxiety" and "disordered eating" during these periods. She explained that she finally found balance, and is in a much better place now. "Life is for living and happiness for me is found in balance- in making sure I walk the dogs but also in having some Doritos! In [sic] doing the Pilates class but also in having the glass of wine..."

3. Here Is What She Eats in a Day

Vicky detailed her diet to Daily Star Online:

Breakfast: Scrambled eggs with button mushrooms, spinach, avocado and sometimes a bit go feta or chorizo. Green smoothie or green tea.

Lunch: Protein shake or protein bar or a big superfoods salad, with chicken, sweet potato, goji berries, pine nuts. “Really swing your dick about with this. Salads should be exciting and colourful. Otherwise I’ll have a wrap or a chunky soup,” she said.

Afternoon snack: Tea.

Dinner: A “good portion of protein” like chicken or salmon. Sweet potatoes or butternut squash, brown rice or cous cous and loads of green vegetables. “Loads of green tea and water throughout the day and occasionally I’ll enjoy a good gin and tonic or a glass of white wine,” she added. “And by occasionally I mean in large amounts at the weekend.”

4. She Does Zero Gravity Pilates

Vicky’s go-to workout is zero gravity pilates. “After being on Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins, I really looked at the way I trained. All of the things I'd been doing beforehand were weightlifting and more of the functional stuff. For a while, I wasn't really able to do that because I was quite badly injured,” she explained to Closer. “I looked at alternative ways that were less intense on the joints and when I found zero gravity pilates, I completely fell in love with it. You look at the people who do it, like Chloe Lewis, Rochelle Humes and Lisa Snowdon, and their bodies are just lean and long and lush. So, yeah, I'm definitely on that hype at the moment.”

5. She Drinks Juice

“I love waking up in the morning and having a juice, it's a great way to start off your day,” she said about how she gets all her nutrients in. “I feel like I've managed to get loads of fruits and veggies into my diet in a very small space of time. I'm all for protein shakes and juices. Plus, if you whack spinach into a protein shake, you don't really feel like you're drinking it. I'm all for sneaking fruits and veggies into my body any way that I can."

Vicky Pattison, star of Geordie Shore, Ex on the Beach and Judge Geordie, has never not been outspoken.

1. This is How She Lost the Weight

“So I've recently lost abit of weight- it's not quite the overnight miracle everyone on social media seems to think it is- it's been happening gradually over the last year through an amalgamation of things & much to everyone's disappointment I'm sure- there's no great big secret to how I did it. I got my contraceptive out my arm after 15years which had a huge impact on my body & also I got the worlds most energetic Pup- who we love DEARLY but needs to be walked between 2-3 hours daily 😂 So there you have it, I'm sorry I can't flog you a transformative pill or workout but you're all lush as you are anyway so please stop being so hard on yourselves ♥️,” she captioned the photos.

2. She is an Advocate for Women

“Although most people have been really kind about my new bod- there have been quite a lot of nasty comments with people even going as far to say they only liked me before when I was, in their words, an advocate for curvy women,” she wrote. “Listen, I am an advocate for WOMEN full stop. Whatever your shape, whatever your size- & the only reason I started doing my 'Instas versus reality' in the 1st place was to show everyone that we are all capable of taking a good picture for the gram- & we shouldn't be comparing our beautiful bodies to anyone else's- especially not someone else's carefully curated Social media ones.”

3. She Says There’s a Difference Between Posed vs. More Relaxed

“If I want to stretch up, put my hands behind my head & suck my tummy in- The end result is going to be this first pic. However if I relax, allow gravity to do its thing & stop trying so hard.. my body moves (Spoiler alert, all bodies move & I quite like my squishy tummy- it's where my pizza lives 😂) the end result is more like this second one,” she explained of the photos. “These posts were only ever meant to encourage all of us to stop beating ourselves up or comparing our bodies to the super posed & unrealistic ones on social. It's ok to want posed pics or more relaxed ones- to let it all hang out or want to go balls to the wall.”

4. She Says It’s Not OK to Tear Women Down

“The only thing that isn't ok is telling another woman how YOU think she should look. Instead of tearing other women down, we should be building each other up... We're all beautiful in our own unique way & trust me, we're all capable of getting a sick pic for Insta 😂” she concluded.

5. She Sets Goals, and You Can, Too

“I write out my goals for the week as well as how I plan to achieve them,” Pattison has said. “Eating healthier sounds like a good idea. But what does it really mean? Aim for specific goals instead, such as eliminating soda, eating five servings of vegetables a day or limiting your daily sugar intake to 30 grams of added sugar,” says the Mayo Clinic. “Losing 10 pounds a week sounds great. But it's an impossible goal that likely will leave you discouraged — and more likely to give up on your efforts. Choosing realistic goals that you can meet will reinforce your efforts and keep you moving forward. Losing one pound per week is a realistic and sustainable goal.”

British TV star Vicky Pattison cannot wait for the cold weather to arrive, but she still loves her swimsuits. Pattison, 35, posted a photo of herself wearing a bandana and brown bikini, part of a series of pictures celebrating September. “September... You were amazing 😍🥹Beyond grateful for the amazing experiences, lessons and special moments that I shared with my beautiful loved ones.. Just feel really lucky I suppose 🥹😍I can't wait to see what October brings... I'd really like it to be cozy nights in front of the tv, Milo snuggles, shepherds pie, mavie cuddles, laughs with my friends, date nights with erc and work that set my soul on fire... 🔥,” she captioned the post.

1. She Has a Life Coach

Pattison employs the services of a life coach, something she highly recommends. “I've got a life coach, if you're in a position to get someone like that, I really would advise it,” she tells Closer UK. “He's transformed my life and he helps me to make sense of everything. Talking through your day and the things you're going through with someone who's neutral on the situation really helps.”

2. She Walks Everyday

Pattison tries to get her exercise out in the fresh air whenever possible. “My life coach always tells me to get out into nature with the trees and to get some fresh air,” she says. “I never really put much weight on it until I got my dog, Milo, and just getting out for an hour every day taking him on his walk makes me feel much happier, healthier and more balanced. I advocate fresh air for everybody.” The experts agree: Working out outside brings a unique set of benefits. “Light tends to elevate people's mood, and unless you live in a glass house or are using a light box to treat seasonal affective disorder, there's usually more light available outside than in,” says Harvard Health. “Physical activity has been shown to relax and cheer people up, so if being outside replaces inactive pursuits with active ones, it might also mean more smiles and laughter.”

3. She Loves Spinach Smoothies

Pattison is a big fan of healthy, delicious smoothies, especially with spinach. “Spinach has long been regarded as a plant which can restore energy, increase vitality and improve the quality of the blood,” says registered nutritionist Jo Lewin. “There are good reasons for this, such as the fact that spinach is rich in iron. This mineral plays a central role in the function of red blood cells which help transport oxygen around the body, supports energy production and DNA synthesis. However, high levels of a compound called oxalic acid, naturally found in spinach, appears to inhibit the absorption of minerals like iron; that said, lightly cooking or wilting appears to minimize these effects.”

4. She Is In Tune With Her Body

Pattison tends to eat less on days she doesn’t work out. "I know a lot of people advocate carb cycling but for me I keep things quite simple - on days I don't train I just eat slightly fewer calories,” she says. “It's not something I do proactively, but it's more just a case of when I'm not training I'm just not as hungry. However, this is entirely subjective and I always try and listen to what my body wants."

5. She Avoids Sugar

Pattison believes in having a balanced diet—but she avoids foods that make her feel bad. "I try not to exclude any major food groups as a way to guarantee that I want something is to say I can't have it,” she says. “Saying that, I do avoid refined sugars and simple carbs like white bread as there's just no need for them and they make me feel rubbish and lethargic. The only exemption to this is alcohol - and I'll never give that up entirely. Life is for living!”

1. She Loves to Be Outdoors

“I’m very happy that the world is opening up a little bit. I’m grateful to see my family more now; it always makes me happy and fills my heart with unconditional love. I’m also very excited to see my friends again and spend some quality time with everyone when we can travel safely,” she said of life a few years into the pandemic, to The Thirty. “Of course, it's been great to spend time ‘off the grid’ in a way, too. Over the past year and through the process of building a house in a remote part of the country, I've realized that being outdoors is great for my mental health. Now, I try to go outside more, go on a hike, work out, do my self-care routines as regularly as possible.”

“I like products that include charcoal for its ability to draw out toxins and remove impurities. I look for it in face masks and toothpaste, where it's used for its brightening effect. Also, in case you didn’t know, Dahlia Tequila is filtered through activated charcoal,” she told The Thirty.

3. She Works Out Daily

“Being a Victoria’s Secret model is not just work, it becomes your lifestyle,” the Hungarian model told Us. “So even before I became an Angel, I started to get a routine into my life, working out every day or four times a week and eating in a certain way that works for my body. I’m just doing that.”

4. She Worked Out With an Angel

“I did work out with Alexina [Graham] for awhile because we are really good friends,” she told Us. “It was actually funny that we both got the Angel contract now. We’ve been knowing each other for awhile so I would work out with her.” She added she’d say: “Like, ‘Hey dude, don’t be lazy!’” says Palvin. “Actually, we both wanted [to be Victoria’s Secret models] for so long and when she started to work with VS three years ago, I was like just wait for me, I’m coming, I’ll be there soon. So it’s kinda like, now we’re here, now we have to show the world.”

5. She Says “Listen to Your Body”

"This is me," Barbara captioned one photo. "It took me a while to understand what people meant by 'listen to your body' — it’s not always easy feeling good in our own skin and it takes time, trust me,” she told Sports Illustrated. "I'm still learning," she continued. "Over the past year I've discovered so much about my body, how it can change and evolve. One thing is for sure — only you know what’s best for you."
