Ex-Olympian Denise Lewis has revealed the 'no restriction' diet and workout regime that keeps her svelte and fit in her 50s.The former athlete, whose toned midriff and sculpted shoulders were the stars of a bold lingerie campaign last year, shared what she eats in a day to 'fuel' her body in a video posted on Instagram.She announced she would be creating personal content for social media last month, with the gold medallist revealing 'the bits you don't often see' - from her favourite recipes and workouts to family life and hobbies.As a part of the series, the broadcaster explained how she maintains her enviable figure, adding: 'People think I live on salads. Well, I don't, but this is what I would eat in a day as a 53-year-old.'Denise, who recently turned heads at Wimbledon, declared 'liquid is life' as she explained she begins her day, not with coffee, but matcha with almond milk. She follows this up with oats, with nutmeg, grapes and banana, or scrambled eggs with mushrooms 'when I want more protein'. Denise washes her breakfast down with a plant-based chocolate and peanut protein shake, adding: 'I'm not trying to bulk up as a 53-year-old. I just want to maintain the good stuff.'Denise also explained she takes different supplements to promote overall well-being, including liquid iron for 'fatigue and tiredness', vitamin D, selenium, B complex and collagen for glowing, healthy skin.Denise Lewis has revealed her 'no restriction' menopause diet that keeps the former athlete svelte and fit in her 50s Denise, who recently turned heads at Wimbledon, declared 'liquid is life' as she explained she begins her day, not with coffee, but matcha made with almond milkShe typically sticks to salad and a store-bought quiche or flan for a fuss-free lunch, with Denise also sharing her 'cheat' for a nutritious and healthy dinner that comes together in minutes. For her final meal of the day, Denise typically enjoys grilled salmon, served skin side up, along with ready-to-eat lentils or rice from brands like Merchant Gourmet. Denise also filmed a simple, 10-minute workout that can be done 'anytime and anywhere', she told her followers. Her routine includes exercises like press-ups and 30-second planks to keep up 'your strength' as you get older. These clips are part of Denise's 'no filter' series that she launched on Instagram last month. 'For 26 years, you've heard about all the medals, but have you really seen me?' Denise said, in a video filmed inside her gorgeous home in Buckinghamshire. Dressed in striped pyjamas and sipping a cup of tea, Denise continued: 'I'm 53, I'm still running tings, as my son would say, but what does that actually look like? 'Training, skin, what I eat, my son, the good, the bad - you might just see it all.'No filters, no PR, just me - new episodes drop every week.'Reacting to Denise's pristine white, idyllic home, Tess Daly commented on the video: 'Can't wait for this and can you decorate my house please? Cause I am obsessed with that kitchen.' Stars like Gabby Logan, Dr Zoe Williams, and Andrea McLean also showed their support for Denise's latest endeavour, which comes six months after Denise confirmed she had split from her husband of 17 years, Steve Finan O'Connor. Denise announced she would be creating personal content for social media last month, with the gold medallist revealing 'the bits you don't often see' Denise flaunting her enviable physique in a black bikiniIn an Instagram post last November, Denise said: 'After much thought and consideration, Steve and I decided to separate two years ago as a couple.'This decision was made with mutual respect and care for one another after many meaningful years together. We remain grateful for the time we shared and the wonderful children we created.'We value the kindness and support from our family and friends over the last two years and our priority moving forward is maintaining a positive co-parenting relationship and focusing on the well-being of those we care about most.'We appreciate your understanding for privacy during this time as we move forward.'In 2024, The Mail on Sunday revealed that Steve, who was the late Liam Payne’s manager for seven years, moved out of the family home in Buckinghamshire where the couple lived with their three sons.One source told The Mail on Sunday: ‘It’s such a shame because they are both lovely people and were always thought of as a wonderful couple.‘Despite trying to make it work, Steve and Denise just found themselves drifting apart from one another.‘In the end, they decided that breaking up was probably the most sensible thing to do.’The glamorous heptathlete, who is the President of UK Athletics, did not wear her wedding ring on air throughout her stint as a pundit for the BBC’s Olympic Games coverage in the summer of 2024.Since the split, Denise has spoken about being in the 'second act' of life, adding: 'I feel secure in myself.' Two years on from her split, Denise, who shares three sons with Steve - Ryan, 19, Kane, 16, and Troy, seven and daughter Lauryn, 22, with her ex Patrick Stevens - declared she feels 'more energised now than I have been over the last decade'. Speaking to Ateh Jewel on HELLO!'s Second Act podcast, Denise continued: 'I'm more prepared to speak my mind as well, which I think is really good. 'I'm still curious, and I'm still exploring the platform of life. And I think I'm energised. That's the difference. I'm more energised now than I have been over the last decade.'Part of that seismic shift within was the confidence she felt to pose for her first ever lingerie shoot, stripping off for a stunning spread for Coco de Mer. Denise - who retired from the heptathlon 20 years ago - proved she still has a passion for fitness as she showed off her enviably toned physique in a black, two-piece set. Speaking about the shoot, Denise said: 'Taking part in my first lingerie shoot in my fifties is a statement that confidence isn't age-dependent and visibility is power.'It feels more energising than I could have imagined.'The meaning of confidence has changed for me over time. It is about strength in my own skin – feeling strong, self-aware and sexier than ever as I move into the next chapter of my life.'Denise won gold for Team GB in the heptathlon at the Olympic Games in Sydney, 2000. Since retiring, she has carried out punditry duty with the BBC, but recently quit after a decade in the chair following last summer's Olympic Games in Paris.
