From Hollywood A-listers like Jennifer Aniston and Nicole Kidman to Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, intermittent fasting seems to be the diet du jour. Linda Lusardi, 65, has revealed her secret to staying slim doesn't include any 'diet or gym' but she admitted she 'never eats before 1pm' ‘It quite suits me as I’m not very good at giving things up, I like a glass of prosecco and an Indian or a Chinese. ‘And I only eat when I’m hungry – some days I go until two or three o’clock.’ She said she makes sure she has plenty of ‘fruit and vegetables,’ lots of ‘fish’ and only eats meat once a week ‘with a Sunday dinner.’ Linda, who has two children Lucy, 28, and Jack, 25, with actor husband Samuel Kane, said that she had not had any plastic surgery but regularly has ‘tweakments’ to maintain her youthful appearance. I think the poster girl for it is Shirley Ballas, who also has it.’ ‘I’m an advocate of intermittent fasting – I don’t normally eat until 1pm each day and I stop by 10pm, so you have a good period where your body can process the food,’ she told Best magazine Linda, who has two children Lucy, 28, and Jack, 25, with actor husband Samuel Kane, said that she had not had any plastic surgery but regularly has ‘tweakments’ to maintain her youthful appearance She said that, while she is ‘not a gym person’, she ‘doesn’t stop’ and is constantly doing heavy lifting around the house as they undergo renovations. I’m a very active person.’ Ms Lusardi said she was ‘looking forward’ to getting her state pension when she turns 66 in September after ‘all those years of paying in.’ She said she doesn’t feel her age, but believes pensioners are not ‘how they used to be’ as ‘we are healthier, we keep ourselves in shape.’ Proponents of intermittent fasting claim it is a healthy way to boost energy and shed fat from the body, with Dr Michael Mosley, the late Mail health guru, one such advocate.
