I did my famous cabbage soup diet, so I was able to do it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
At home I have big vats of cabbage soup that I make to slim down.
I did every diet: Atkins. Cabbage-soup diet. Dean Ornish. But I couldn't live the rest of my life like a rabbit.
If you make a huge pot of soup, you can freeze part of it and eat off it for days. I love making green bean soup, and I'll throw in some cashews, almonds or tofu, and voila, I've got a soup that's loaded with protein and vegetables.
I spent my childhood eating. The only exercise I got was trying to twist off the cap of a jar of mayonnaise.
You can do almost anything with soup stock, it's like a strong foundation. When you have the right foundation, everything tastes good.
I've tried just about every crazy diet you can imagine.
The dish that changed my life was tom yum kum. You start with a pot of water, add lemongrass, lime leaves, lime juice, coriander, mushrooms, and shrimp; ten minutes later, you have the most incredible, intense soup.
I've never dieted in my life; I like food too much. I'm just thoughtful about what I eat, and I'm lucky that I love the taste of vegetables. I'm certainly not 'actress skinny,' and I never will be. I'm strong, and my body works great for me.
Diets - the ultimate empty promise perpetuating the same cycle over and over again. We've all been victims of yo-yo dieting. We stick to some diets longer than others, but c'mon, just how much cabbage soup can a person eat?
I was put off by people at school - my cabbage wasn't as good as other people's, you know, so that put me off.
