Last year, Martine revealed it has taken her ‘such a long time’ to do what works for her in regards to staying in shape.
In an interview with OK! magazine, the Love Actually star noted she didn’t like to discuss her weight but told how she keeps fit by following the 80/20 rule diet.
Discussing her frame, Martine admitted it hasn’t always been straightforward in finding the right healthy eating lifestyle that works for her, with the star stating how important it is to just be the ‘best version’ of herself.
She said: ‘I think it takes a long time to work out what your own recipe is. It’s taken me such a long time to look through all the stuff that’s out there, and do just what works for me. So it’s not as simple as just going on a crazy diet.
‘I just feel it’s really important to encourage women to just be the best version of themselves.’
Detailing her diet, she added: ‘The 80/20 rule is what works for me. For 80% of my week, I will have mainly just healthy proteins, vegetables and fruit, organic and veggie juices, and Flora ProActiv spread. And then I’ll have treats 20% of the time.’
Martine’s throwback snaps comes after she shared an honest post about battling anxiety last week as her husband Jack McManus and son Rafferty, eight, returned home.
Sharing a snap of herself sunbathing, she wrote: ‘My boys are home! Yay! I’ve missed them SO much more than usual today for some reason. I felt a bit anxious about it if I’m honest… Do you ever get that for no rhyme or reason?

‘I’m normally good at tapping into my emotions and working out why I feel what I do … But today I can only put it down to hormones!
‘But now the sun is shining, there is a cool breeze and we are all together in the garden, chilling out and listening to a fab play list! @jackmcmanus1 is getting me an ice cold G&T too, a rare treat for me but I really fancy it! Have a wonderful evening all! Lots of love.’
Eariler this year, Martine spoke about dealing with her crippling anxiety and perimenopause.
She wrote in an Instagram post: ‘Peri menopause symptoms… Such Fun!
‘I have the hot flushes, the insomnia, the brain fog and fatigue … The list goes on doesn’t it?! And to be honest, having lived with M.E/CFS and fibro since my 20’s, those symptoms seem to be something I can cope with… (touch wood!)
‘However, what I’ve personally not heard mentioned as much, is the crippling anxiety you can get with the peri menopause.
‘A kind of irrational anxiety that makes no sense whatsoever! You feel like you’ve lost your own damn mind!
‘Maybe it’s just me, but I don’t seem to hear about this side of it as much. I wanted to share this, just incase any of you out there feel the same and feel scared or worried – You aren’t alone!’
