Looking good: Nadia Bartel (pictured) has spilled the secrets to her trim and taut figure. In an Instagram question and answer session with her fans on Monday, the former WAG, 36, revealed that she never counts calories – and eats what she likes
‘I have always had this approach with food and I think that’s why I don’t binge too much, as I don’t deprive myself of certain foods,’ she added.
Nadia did however reveals she excludes red meat from her diet, and has been a pescatarian since she was 16.
A pescatarian diet is similar to a vegetarian diet – it does not include meat, but does include fish.

The brunette went on to say that she is a fan of intermittent fasting, which refers to periodic fasting or time-based meal restriction.
‘I started intermediate fasting during Covid and felt really good, I would have my last meal at 7.30pm and eat again at 11.30am,’ she explained.
‘It was hard initially as I was a big breakfast eater so I was starved. But I suffer from a few stomach issues and it helped with my bloating etc and general energy levels. I have eased off a bit the last few months but keen to start it again.’

Nadia then listed off what she has for breakfast, which included poached eggs, avocado, chilli paste and cottage cheese, or an omelet.
‘I could have the same thing every morning. I am not big on fruit, yogurt or muesli etc in the morning I find that I feel hungry straight again and it bloats me,’ she wrote.
The activewear designer also revealed that she isn’t ‘very strict’ with her diet from day to day.
‘I like to make healthy choices so I love fresh fish, vegetables and also carbs, pasta is big in my family,’ she said.

‘My diet is very Mediterranean due to my Italian background so I love nuts, olive oil, avocado etc (so good for our skin too). I also try to add a little protein at most meal times.
‘But I am also a massive sweet tooth so if I want lollies or chocolate I will have it, I just try be healthy 80 percent of the time which isn’t always the case especially when I’m eating on the go’.
She concluded: ‘As I have become older I try to have less packaged food (and keep healthy choices available in the pantry and fridge) so it’s all in front of me.
‘I love tuna, beans, vegetables cut up and cottage cheese, as fresh options when you are on the go’.
