Maria Sharapova once opened up about balancing her love for sweets and strict diet

In an interview with Vogue in February 2024, Maria Sharapova weighed in on maintaining her strict diet while being a sweet tooth. The Russian has been very particular about her training sessions after her retirement, as she frequently shared highlights of her intense workout sessions. Reflecting on this, she revealed how she takes out time for her gym sessions amid busy schedules.

"I try to dedicate at least one hour per day, five to six days a week, to my body. I don’t train at the levels I used to, but I’m quite diligent about being consistent–even if I have only 30 minutes in a hotel room. To be honest, I like the variety that I have in my workouts now. It was much stricter while training as a professional athlete. But, the consistency is what I’ve stuck to," Maria Sharapova said.

She further spoke about her love for sweets and added:

"Diligence around diet is important but also challenging, especially when on the road. 80% of the time, I try to eat clean, and then 20% of the time, I love my cheat meals. I love sweets, so it’s not always an easy ration to keep up!"

Maria Sharapova also has her own confectionary brand called 'Sharapova,' which was launched in 2012.
