FORMER X FACTOR WINNER LOUISA JOHNSON, 21, REVEALS SHE LOVES TO INDULGE HERSELF AT THE WEEKEND BUT DOES YOGA TO STAY TONED

Hi Louisa! Are you body confident?

I am 95 per cent of the time, but I do have days where

I feel rubbish.

Do you feel under pressure to look good?

I’d be lying if I said I didn’t.

I work out and eat healthily, but there’s definitely that thought in the back of my mind, “I have to be in a bikini.

What if someone sees me?”

How often do you like to exercise?

I go to yoga classes three times a week and I do a weekly gym session to stay toned.

What’s your favourite part of your body?

I just like my body in general. It comes from within. If I’ve put on a bit of weight, but I still feel mentally strong, then I love everything!

Do you have a least favourite?

I try not to tear myself apart because it can be easily done.

Are you a healthy eater?

Most of the time, but then I indulge at the weekend. I try to be as healthy as I can and I buy organic products.

Do you have any food allergies?

I’ve been gluten intolerant for three years and I’m also intolerant to dairy and wheat.

Have you ever been on a diet?

I’ve probably tried everything. I’m quite obsessive with that sort of thing, especially as I’m not supposed to eat wheat and dairy. When you’re restricting yourself from eating all of these foods you want to eat, that makes you want them more. It’s important to see it as a lifestyle rather than a diet.

Which foods do you find it hard to resist?

I love Cadbury chocolate. I’m not supposed to have it because of my dairy intolerance, but I can’t help myself.

Have you ever been tempted to go vegetarian or vegan?

I don’t eat red meat any more and

I have vegan mayonnaise, which is amazing. It would be hard for me to go vegan because I’m already limited in what I can eat.

What’s your takeaway of choice?

I’m not a very good cook so

I order from Deliveroo every night, but it’s usually healthy stuff. I do like an Indian takeaway, though. A butter chicken curry is my favourite.

What’s your top health tip?

Make small changes. If you’re not the kind of person to stick with a diet, then don’t dive in headfirst. The tiniest things can lead to big changes.
