Kayla Itsines reveals surprising Macca’s confession
She’s made millions thanks to her fitness programs, but Kayla Itsines has revealed a surprising detail about her fast food preferences.
Kayla Itsines has been praised by followers after sharing a very “relatable” fact about herself while on holidays.
The multi-millionaire fitness guru, who sold app SWEAT she co-owned with former partner Tobi Pearce for $400 million last year, has revealed that people are “so surprised” to find out she regularly indulges in fast food.
Kayla opened up about her approach to fast food on Instagram, sharing a series of photos of herself enjoying an egg burger as she holidays in Los Angeles.
“I have been sharing my food philosophy of a balanced diet with NO restrictions for YEARS now,” Kayla wroteon Tuesday.
“But it seems easier for some people to look at me a put me in a ‘box’ rather than to actually try to understand me and what I stand for.”
Kayla said she believed in a “sustainable approach to fuelling your body by eating foods you LOVE without complete elimination and restriction”.
“That includes an occasional burger!” she added.
For Kayla this meant “not letting health and fitness goals get in the way of life” and instead “integrating them into a healthy balanced lifestyle that you can ENJOY”.
“So if you’re someone that automatically wants to put me in a ‘box’,” she wrote. “My McDonald’s order is a Large McChicken Meal with fries, a coke, a small caramel sundae AND an apple pie.”
Kayla’s post resonated with her followers, who thanked her for sharing such a “relatable” detail about herself.
“I love how you keep things real,” one follower commented.
“Best recommendations ever! Balance is the most important,” one person wrote.
Last month Kayla went public with her new relationship, revealing she was now dating her longtime friend and personal trainer Jae Woodroffe.
“For all those people replying to my stories saying “you look really happy” … thank you! I am,” she captioned a photo of the new couple.
Kayla split from fiance Tobi in August 2020, with the break-up shocking longtime fans of the couple. They share daughter Arna, two.
Tobi is now dating another fitness star Rachel Dillon, who runs her own exercise empire Move With Us.
