The star works hard to maintain her figure

There's no denying that Carol looks fantastic. The star, who is also a licensed pilot, owes her radiant skin and toned physique to a healthy, balanced diet and dedicated fitness routine. She's also a fan of intermittent fasting and 28 day detox diets – but never denies herself a treat when she wants one.

Despite her seemingly restrictive routine, Carol wrote in her book Detox your Life that she never counts calories. Instead, she embarks on a health kick roughly twice a year. She shared: "The detox is not about counting calories or fat units, it's about being aware of the kinds of foods we put into our bodies. It's about eating more, not less".

Carol is in amazing shape

Just recently, Carol returned from a luxury health retreat in Portugal. The mathematician told fans she has been on a juice and soup cleanse all week during her stay. "But on Saturday you can choose some food instead… omg yoghurt granola and honey never tasted so good," wrote Carol. "But first a 12 mile walk… on quiet roads and through quiet woods in sunshine… blissful."
