She have been eating a vegan diet for the past year after at least a decade of being a vegetarian.Breakfast is always a large glass of homemade, green smoothie.

Dinner is generally another green salad with lettuce, kale, rocket and parsley with tomatoes, peppers, cucumber, seaweed, onion, olives and ground flaxseed.She makes an oil-free dressing with apple cider vinegar, lime juice, cayenne pepper, turmeric and nutritional yeast.
For dinner she also usually have a starchy vegetable like baked sweet potato or butternut squash.She sometimes make a dish with veggies and quinoa, too. For snacks she stick to blueberries, apples, grapes, dried goji berries, pumpkin seeds or raw soaked almonds.
She have been studying human nutrition, She is always experimenting on myself to see what gives me most energy and makes me feel the best.Hervegan diet which is alkaline and anti-inflammatory and based on whole foods, loads of raw fruit and veg, and a moderate amount of healthy fats, seems to work best for me. She aims for high carb, relatively low fat and protein, with a light breakfast, and my heaviest meal a few hours before bed. Food combining is also important for her, she don’t eat fruit after a meal as it causes indigestion. Starting the day off with a glass of warm water and lemon is also a great cleansing tip.
She has been taking vitamins B12, K2, D3 and a probiotic.She also is partial to a glass of champagne. And do like a cup of coffee with a few squares of really dark chocolate.
She never eat meat, fish, poultry, eggs or dairy and also avoid sugar, gluten and anything processed.She enjoy alcohol in moderation, such as a couple of glasses of wine over dinner. If out with friends, she will stick to vodka.She tend to avoid alcohol during the week.She has always enjoyed sports. In primary and secondary school, She played tennis, hockey, cricket and netball and competed for my school at an all-Ireland level in 100m hurdles and high-jump. That involved intense training with an athletics club.
She always aim for six days a week workout: two days weight training with Siobhan at BodyByrne, one or two Pilates classes and three to four cardio sessions.
She has properly began weight training three years ago and can’t imagine ever stopping now. For women in particular, and with a clean diet, they help to build lean, toned muscles and really shape the body.She experienced difference pretty quickly, probably in the first four to six weeks.
She has been practising Pilates since I was 18 so for a decade now.She has definitely increased in height by a couple of centimetres. It elongates your muscles, improves posture and plumps up vertebrae.She has always competed in running and enjoyed it, from 200m and 800m races in primary school to cross-country runs at Leinster level in secondary school. Lots of practice definitely helps to build confidence in running.She enjoy anything up to 10k but recently ran the running section of the Ironman 70.3 in Galway (21.1k) and I loved that too.Her fitness goals for the future to just continue to improve my strength and fitness, and running distance.
Her weight fluctuates like many other women and she has to work hard to maintain it. She will try not to worry if she gain a few pounds after a gluttonous weekend or holiday. Life is too short.On tone up for the Playboy cover.She really wanted to be in good shape for it, as it was a once-in-alifetime shoot and such an honour to have been asked to pose for it. She trained hard to prepare for it as She aimed to look healthy and athletic.
