Maya Jama shared an ab-flashing video from the gym on TikTok on Tuesday night in which she bemoaned being ‘naturally skinny’

The Love Island presenter, 31, suffered a horrendous bout of food poisoning while she was away and feels that she has lost too much weight. 

Flashing her abs in a sports bra, Maya explained that she prefers a thicker looking body and will be doing weight training and eating late to fill out. 

Maya said: ‘I don’t love that since Ozempic, anyone that’s slim, they’re like Ozempic, Ozempic, Ozempic. 

‘Some of us are naturally marga [skinny] and we don’t wanna be. We like being thicker, but it’s hard so just bear that in mind, alright.

Maya Jama bemoaned being ‘naturally skinny’ on TikTok on Tuesday after losing too much weight and said:’I want a thicker body – slim people don’t get any sympathy’

She said: ‘Some of us are naturally marga [skinny] and we don’t wanna be. We like being thicker, but it’s hard so just bear that in mind, alright’

‘I know there’s no sympathy for the slimmers but… it’s a bit hard out here sometimes.’

She continued: ‘My tip for the girlies that are trying to gain though, is weight lift. I’ve gained weight before and I will do it again.

‘And eat late. I don’t know if this is proper advice but I eat late at night and then feel like it stays on my body, so let’s see.’

She captioned the post with: ‘Food poisoning in South Africa didn’t help lol.’ 

In January, Maya told Women’s Health which three exercises have made the biggest difference to her strength and fitness.

She said: ‘Squats, push-ups and kickbacks with ankle weights.

‘Squats really work the glutes, which is a must. Push-ups do wonders for my core. I love kickbacks because they’re great for firming and toning.’

Maya strength trains with her personal trainer Warren Whitely and the publication writes that regular reformer Pilates at Nobu London is also a part of her routine. 

She said: ‘I’m on a bit of a home workout vibe at the moment. Taking the stairs instead of taking the lift, dancing around my house, just being active anywhere I can.’ 

She continued: ‘My tip for the girlies that are trying to gain though, is weight lift. I’ve gained weight before and I will do it again. ‘And eat late’ (pictured before she got food poisoning)
