Jane Seymour has maintained her size 4 figure since she was a teen, she said
-
She told The Daily Mail that her diet includes lots of fish, vegetables, olives and nuts

Seymour said she doesn’t give herself strict dietary rules because “if you think you are on a diet, you will lose track, you will cheat”
Jane Seymour has spent years cultivating a healthy lifestyle, and now the British actress is revealing her top tips for nutrition — without fad diets or missing out.
Seymour, 74, attended a SAG-AFTRA Foundation Conversations Presents Jane Seymour Career Retrospective event in Los Angeles on Tuesday, May 20, where she told The Daily Mail how she’s managed to remain a size 4 for decades.
“I love the Mediterranean way of eating, it works so well and it tastes good, it includes a lot of delicious food like tomatoes, olives and fish,” she said.
The actress also told The Daily Mail that she eats a light breakfast and saves her larger meals for the afternoon.
“I start the day with coffee and hard boiled eggs for protein, and it isn’t until later, around lunch time, that I have a full meal because then I can really enjoy it,” she said.
The mother-of-six doesn’t have to go far to find healthy local ingredients.
“I love fish and vegetables, and grow many greens in my back yard which I love to use,” she said.
She also keeps a range of snacks on hand, opting for pistachios, vegetables and hummus over sweets, according to The Daily Mail.
“I do love nuts,” she said. “I am a savory person, I like the salt.”

The former Bond Girl said she approaches her diet as a series of good choices rather than being restrictive and needing a “cheat day” to eat what she enjoys.
“If you think you are on a diet, you will lose track, you will cheat,” she told The Daily Mail, adding, “But if you find healthy foods you really love, that make you feel good, you never feel shorted.”
