“I've always worked out, but I woke up one day and realised that, while I looked fine, eating the way I was didn't make me feel fine. So, you know, I just stopped eating it.”
The 38-year-old actress had also recently admitted that she has adjusted to her new eating habits well and is pleased with her new lifestyle.
“I love it. I have never, ever watched what I eat in my life but I do now. I'm off the fried foods,” Diaz had said.
“I’m very thoughtful about what I eat. If you're gonna do heavy lifting and you want to stay small you have to watch what you eat. You have to give your body the right nutrients and really think about what's best for it,” she added.
