The Oscar-winning actress refuses to cut junk food out of her diet, but manages to keep the calories down by only eating a quarter of the meals she likes.

Charlize, 32, said: “I’m careful to eat a healthy balance of foods, but I eat six small meals a day.

“If I fancy a burger, rather than deprive myself I’ll eat a quarter of one.”

The Monster star – who piled on the pounds to play serial killer Aileen Wuornos in the 2003 award-winning film – also keeps her exercise regime interesting by taking part in fun outdoor activities.

She told Elle magazine: “I love to be active, especially outdoors. My favourite workouts are cycling, kayaking and walking.”

The South African born actress now lives in Los Angeles with her long-term boyfriend, Irish actor Stuart Townsend. Charlize recently confessed she is terrified her breasts are sagging.

She said: “I’m 32 and as you get older you get wrinkles and your boobs sag. You get wisdom too, so it’s not all bad. But you can’t really do anything about ageing.”
