Model Michele McGrath has called on women not to worry about trying to become a size zero.
Instead, the Dubliner feels people should only hit the gym to be healthy – and never recklessly diet to lose weight.
She said: “I think working out isn’t only good for keeping in shape, it’s also really good for your mind and that’s more important than keeping in shape.

“I don’t think any woman should conform to this image of ‘you know you have be stick-thin or size zero,’ I can’t stand any of that.
“I think women should be healthy — eat a healthy diet and don’t deprive yourself of anything, everything in moderation.”
And Michele, who does Pilates and yoga, said she would “never do any of it to lose weight though I do it to feel good.”

However, the Andrea Roche model does do the paleo diet with her UFC fighter boyfriend Cathal Pendred.
She told the Irish Independent: “Because my boyfriend is a UFC fighter I do the paleo diet, which is actually really good for you — basically because everything comes from the ground.”
