Pia Muehlenbeck explains why she doesn’t follow ‘fad’ diets

Model and entrepreneur Pia Muehlenbeck leads a busy life – but that doesn’t mean she ever compromises on her health.

The stunning 26-year-old owner of activewear brand SLINKII ensures she works out six times a week, with Sunday being kept as the ‘day of rest’, and eats predominantly clean foods.

Speaking to Sporteluxe about her public and private life, Pia admitted maintaining her incredible physique is a year round job.

 

Working out six days a week, drinking BCAA’s and ‘colourful’ veggies: Pia Muehlenbeck explains why she doesn’t subscribe to a ‘fad’ diet to stay trim

What are BCAAs? 

BCAAs are BRANCHED-CHAIN AMINO ACIDS.

BCAAs work to build muscle and prevent muscle and mental fatigue during strenuous exercise, which comes as a massive plus to those smashing it out in the gym. They also reduce muscle damage induced by exercise.

‘I mix up my workouts quite often to avoid getting bored, but I regularly do Pilates, yoga and weight training. When the weather is good I’ll swap that for a run around the city,’ she admitted.

The Sydney-based Instagram star said that while the social media world appears to be obsessed with vegan and paleo diet trends, she doesn’t subscribe to any of them herself.

‘As fascinating as diets are, there is no getting away from the fact that a good clean diet with a lot of colourful veggies is always going to be the best thing for you. I do supplement my diet with vegan protein, and I sip on BCAAs during the day with my water,’ she said.

And whatever she is doing is clearly working – with a number of Pia’s wanderlust-inspired images showing off her golden tan and chiseled abdominals. 

But in a recent Youtube video, Pia and her fiancé Kane Vato said that while it looks as though their lives are all about vlogging and travel, this is not the case. 

‘Some days are vlog days where we just gallivant around and have fun but a lot of the time is spent behind the scenes and working out deals and creating content,’ Pia said. 

‘Sometimes we wish we were just vlogging. But realistically how we have built our business we have to make sure we are juggling.’

Kane added: ‘Everyone, even my mates, think we do nothing and we just spend the afternoon drinking wine. That means we are doing social media well.

‘We work 12 – 14 hours a day most days. 80 per cent of that is on SLINKII because we are building a brand. The fact we do social media too is really great and its an added bonus that drives extra traffic.’

That said, the pair are always sure to switch off by 8pm and enjoy time as a couple.

‘We are in a relationship and also business partners,’ Pia said. 

‘We have a rule that we just stop at 8pm and hang out and don’t respond to emails. 

‘We work for the whole day and we switch off and hang out and veg out watch Netflix and YouTube like everyone else.’
