"You always ask me to share what I eat and as imperfect as I am in that aspect I do know that you CANNOT out gym a bad diet," she began.

"I try to eat things that are as close to their origin as possible as found on earth. So I opt for sweet potato, potato, and rice as my carb options as opposed to pasta and bread.
"I have become lactose intolerant which amuses my lil humans coz I love ice cream, cheese, yoghurt, etc but I have to avoid those things," Unathi added.
