Yazmin detailed her diet to Closer. “For breakfast, I’ll have a protein shake, usually a cookies and cream flavor. I love it with a dollop of peanut better,” she said. “For lunch, I’ll have something Turkish, like chicken with either bulgur rice or plain rice and salad. For dinner, I’ll make a chicken stir fry or fajitas, or a Bolognese."

2. She Works Out

Yazmin also exercises a lot. “If I feel like I want to exercise I’ll go every day for a week, but then a week later I won’t go for a fortnight,” she told New UK. “My break-up [with James Lock] has done me wonders, because that’s what’s got me back into the gym. When I was with James I was comfort eating and putting on weight, but now I’m single I want to get that revenge body.” What is her workout? “A warm-up run for 10-15 minutes, then I’ll do squats and planks to rm my bum and abs.”

“I love sweets,” Yazmin confessed to Closer. “I’ve got a whole sweet cupboard in my house!” She added to New UK that depends on her mood. “Sometimes I want to be really healthy or vegetarian,” she said. “I’m dairy and gluten intolerant, but I still eat them. I’ll get bloated, but it doesn’t happen all the time.”

4. She Struggles with Self-Confidence

Does Yazmin struggle with self-confidence? “Sometimes I do, sometimes I don’t. Like all women, if I’ve been going to the gym for a week then I start to feel good in myself. But if I have a couple of weeks off and start binge eating, then I don’t feel as condent,” she told New UK. She added that she “110 per cent” feels pressure. “You are so pressured in this world to look a certain way. As much as people might say opinions of others on social media don’t matter, they do. If I got thousands of bad comments, it would make me feel really shit about myself. But I’ve definitely got a thicker skin as I’ve got older. Now I can laugh, but personal comments about my appearance would still really upset me,” she said.

5. She Forces Herself to Sweat

Yazmin psyches herself up to workout. “Your fitness is 100% mental. When I was told I may not be able to use my arm fully again so I asked if I could start swimming. I was told you can try but you won’t be able to for a good while. I told myself don’t listen Yaz. Your going swimming tomorrow. And I did. I swam five lengths and I cried and called my mum. This has taught me that anything you want to achieve in life. No matter what it is. No matter how many times others tell you that you can’t. You CAN. Don’t listen to anyone other than your own mind. If you want something you CAN achieve it. & guess what I now swim 60 lengths most days,” she said in an Instagram post.
