Martine’s 80/20 diet

How she got her incredible new look

-

Martine Mccutcheon looks fit, toned and happy in these gorgeous new pictures, which she’s shared with her followers on social media. The Love Actually star – who has recently signed up to a modelling agency – has made some major changes to her lifestyle and says she feels “healthier than ever”, thanks to having two raw green juices a day and cutting out gluten and dairy “80 per cent of the time”.

Martine, 45, who is married to musician Jack Mcmanus, 37, and has son Rafferty, six, now has a more balanced approach to life after struggling with some difficult health conditions, including ME and fibromyalg­ia. She said, “I’m still very much the 80/20 rule, really. So, when I’m at home, I have my juices and eat things in as natural a state as possible. But then, at the weekend, that 20 per cent of the time, if I go out with friends and have dinner,

I’ll have a gin and tonic, I’ll have bread, I’ll have all of that, so it still feels like I’m living.”

To keep active, Martine starts the day with gentle stretching and meditation, and goes on long daily dog walks. “In the past, I always used to push beyond my limits. I think we are sold that more equals more,” she’s said. “But the going more gently and the more consistent route of doing something I really enjoy does make me feel so much better.”

She adds, “I think when you’re happy in your head and healthy in your head, and you get your health under control, a lot of things fall into place.”

Martine initially began losing weight in 2017, dropping from a size 14 to a 12, but now looks to be down to a size 8-10 thanks to her newly balanced approach. Very impressive!
