Yazmin fuels up with protein. She recently dished about 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. Exercise Often

If you want a body like Yazmin, you are going to have to sweat for it. “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.”

3. Cheat On Occasion

Yazmin refuses to deprive herself. “I love sweets,” Yazmin confessed to Closer. “I’ve got a whole sweet cupboard in my house!” She told New UK that how she eats 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. Prioritze Your Health

Yazmin admits that she struggles with self-confidence and “110 percent” feels pressure to “look a certain way.” However, she feels her best when she is taking care of herself. “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 confident,” she told New UK.

5. Swim

Yazmin recently started swimming. “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.
