Roxy joins a bevy of celebrities to compete for the ultimate prize
The show will see South African celebrities teaming up with contestants in paradise to win a cash prize.
“It’s going to be really interesting as the last one I was on was season 1. Now it’s really well put together, the games are quite hectic.
I know they have guys from Survivor setting up the games and there’s quite a lot of fitness and full day of shooting. So, I have to be on a good fitness level to my understanding.”
Roxy Louw is an exceptionally talented South African surfer and leading model. She has been selected as “FHM 100th edition golden girl” and won the “FHM 100 sexiest woman”.
Roxy’s Wellness Rules
She speaks candidly about her healthy eating choices, as well as how she manages to stay fit and sane despite the jet-setting life she leads.
Follow a healthy diet and exercise
The model explains that from an early age, she became disciplined about exercise. She played hockey at school and excelled. Her surfing career also demanded a high and consistent level of fitness.
The same discipline applies to the food she eats, although the model admits it took her a few years to find an eating plan that suited her demanding schedule. The foundation of which lies in having an abundant outlook and being balanced in everything she does.
“Over the years I have followed so many diets. More recently I feel like I’m in the best shape yet. I feel like, I don’t have any strict rules, I guess. It’s just having the abundance mindset, living a balanced life.
I am naturally fast in the morning, so I go to the gym first thing when I rise, a bit of journaling and meditating. Go to the gym. I start my day at about 11. My philosophy on food and meals is a balanced plate, quartering everything, quarter meat, quarter starch and half veggies.”
2. Beware hidden toxins
Roxy explained that her father, well-known rugby player Rob Louw, had a terrible cancer scare that challenged her. While supporting him through his struggle, she learned more about nutrition and what impact it plays on a person mentally and physically.
She researched claims about certain foods and ingredients that are toxic. Fortunately, these claims aren’t supported by science yet, however, there are few ingredients that may be harmful, particularly when consumed in large amounts.
“I stumbled across the toxic and chemicals, through toxic mould syndrome which is another thing, which we don’t take into consideration and through that detoxification process I came across the chemicals and started studying deeper and deeper.
I started looking into chemicals in the food and in our skincare. They are absorbed, which we somehow have to breakdown and creates brain fog.”

3. Live with an abundant mindset
Finally,Roxy shared that she owes her growing success and fulfillment to developing an abundant mindset.
In addition to her healthy habits, Roxy lives by a daily philosophy of “Having the abundant mindset to get the returns, it could be in nature. Going out in nature and seeing that abundance, it just mentally puts you in a lovely space and allows you to receive more”.
She says she discovered that if you choose to walk along the path of abundance, you will experience a completely different life. Roxy actively chooses to live life to the full, exuding happiness, being generous by nature, creative and inspirational. Importantly, when you have an abundant outlook you are able to be more open to and take full advantage of and enjoy the wave of opportunities that come your way, along with memorable experiences.
