Yasmin Le Bon Dishes On Over-Exercising, Her Weight & Living Off 'The Odd Bread Roll' (PHOTOS)

Yasmin Le Bon Dishes On Over-Exercising, Her Weight & Living Off 'The Odd Bread Roll' (PHOTOS)

Supermodel (and wife of Duran Duran's lead singer Simon) Yasmin Le Bon sat down with June's Harper's Bazaar UK to talk about her personal regimen these days. The 46-year-old seems to have ditched a slew of bad habits for a life of Wing Chun kung-fu, Ashram retreats and, well, eating.

On keeping fit:
"I've definitely had an issue with over-exercising at times, and I had to give it all up for a year or two to let my body mend. It sounds ridiculous, but exercise is addictive -- it draws you in and you ignore the pain, so I'm careful now."

On aging:
"As we get older, there are things we have to accept. I know that now my body needs to be heavier -- I'm over a stone more than I used to be."

On her diet:
"What suits me better is eating lightly through the day, then having a proper, but not huge, meal at night. It's a less extreme version of how I ate when I was modelling full time -- although, back then, I lived off the odd bread roll if I was lucky. But I just love food. I'm not a fussy eater, and I love wine -- it's a great, quick fix."

We, too, have found wine is a great, quick fix for just about everything. For more, head over to HarpersBazaar.co.uk.
