Victoria Beckham is known for her intense workouts, from weightlifting to dancing, but the mother-of-four has another way she maintains her flat stomach, that has nothing to do with exercise.
Speaking to Net-A-Porter, Victoria revealed that she mostly cut fruit from her diet as it caused her to bloat. " I love fruit but don't eat too much, as it can make me feel quite bloated," she explained, before going into more detail of her eating habits.

She continued: "My treat is a few glasses of red wine, and I also love tequila, and I do eat carbs. I have lots of avocado and really good fats, like salmon.
"With four children and a job, I work long hours and doing this works for me so I can give 100 percent."

The fashion designer says she loves a salt bath, sharing: "Harper often makes an Epsom bath soak for me when I get home from work."
Bloat is often caused by water retention from salt and carbohydrates in our body, and magnesium, which is often found in Epsom salts, helps to rid the body of fluid retention.
"Bathing in magnesium-rich spa waters is a traditional therapy for many health conditions," says Dr. Sarah Brewer, medical director of Healthspan. "Just add a handful of magnesium flakes to your bath water, lie back and relax for 20 to 30 minutes."
It's not only VB that loves a salt bath - queen of wellness Gwyneth Paltrow said she uses Epsom salts "to detox, revive muscles and de-puff [her] skin."
