According to Israeli media, before competing for Miss Israel, Maman grew up as an overweight girl. But at the age of 13, she decided to start a healthy diet and do physical activities on a regular basis.
"At the age of 13, while my parents were in Morocco for two months, I decided I wanted to be like everyone else. No one could stop me. For two months I mainly ate salads, did a lot of physical activity and lost 30 kilos as a result. I have not been overweight since then. I taught myself to eat right, and I exercise a lot,” she was quoted by YetNews.com as saying.
