Snezana responded to the follower and explained that she likes to “treat herself and eat things without guilt” because she works out using her husband’s food. Fitness Program – 28 by Sam Wood.
“I exercise so I can treat myself and eat the things I like without feeling guilty. It’s all about balance. When I’m on vacation I want to enjoy myself and not put restrictions on myself,” she wrote.

Snezana Wood has hit back after being accused of pretending to eat fried chicken while showing off her incredible figure in a bikini.

She continued: “Plus, if there’s one thing they know about 28, it’s that you have to be realistic, not obsessive or restrictive. It’s not a ‘fabulous’ show, but rather a realistic lifestyle show for real people who want to eat fried chicken from time to time.”
