Nader is all about body positivity. She says that she is comfortable with herself and how she looks. “I’ve always liked my body,” Nader previously told Fox News. “I was bustier growing up. I thought that people would be receptive to that in New York, but it was obviously challenging at first. But now I’m in a really good place, mainly became a brand like Sports Illustrated noticed me.”
Nader makes sure to eat a healthy diet. She revealed her secrets to Fox News. Nader says that she practices portion control. Especially when she’s indulging. “I try to do everything in moderation and not limit myself too much,” she explained. “If I want a sweet I’ll just have portion control and have a little bit of a cupcake instead of four cupcakes.”
Nader doesn’t like to deprive herself. She tells Fox News that she avoids restricting diets and plans. “I think that you can totally drive yourself crazy if you go on insane diets for long periods of time,” she shared. “You’re just going to crack. It’s taken me a while to just do everything in moderation — try to eat healthy as much as you can.”
One of Nader’s favorite workouts is boxing. She tells Daily Mail, “I’ve been training with Rob [Piela] at Gotham Gym since I moved to NYC and I’ve found it really helps strengthen, tone me and help keep my endorphins going which is my main goal. … I’ve gotten more into working out since I started modeling. It’s a great way to relieve stress. If I’ve had a long day, I just punch it out in the boxing ring.”
Nader has a lot of support. She tells Bare Necessities that she likes to do group workouts, or go to the gym with a friend for this reason. “I’m surrounded by extremely supportive, grounding people and I do let any of the frilly stuff get in the way or go my head,” she says. “Empowerment is feeling confident and able to do whatever your heart desires.”
