In fact, in a previous interview with Cosmopolitan, she revealed that she's a "proper foodie" and doesn't restrict herself. "I love a Chinese on a Saturday night," she explained. "I never feel guilty when I eat cheat food because if I've been strict all week, I feel like I deserve it. I'm a proper foodie, I love my food."

She applies the same balanced approach to her exercise regime, too, and sets herself achievable and realistic targets instead. "Don't overly push yourself. I only set myself a target to spend 45 minutes in the gym and then I'm done," she explained. "I think it's important to do everything in moderation. Set yourself a realistic goal so that you have something to work towards."

Michelle Keegan admitted she lacks willpower

In the same interview with , she added that much like she doesn't deny her body of foods she's craving, she doesn't overdo it with exercise. "If I really, really don’t want to go to the gym – I don't go," she said. "I just don’t punish myself, it's not like, my life to go the gym. If I can go to the gym I will, if I can't, I can't.

Michelle Keegan exercises intuitively

"I think the more you go, the more you guilt trip yourself because you feel like it's part of your routine. If I can go four or five times a week, great. If I can only go twice – or once – at least I've been."

The moral of the story? Balance is key in both diet and exercise. Michelle is proof it makes for a healthy and sustainable lifestyle.
