Drew Barrymore revealed her weight loss strategy in an interview with PureWow.
The 44-year-old actress was promoting her partnership with Dr. Paul Jarrod Frank and Emsculpt in New York City when she talked about her dieting plan.
She told PureWow: “I love when people have kids and they’re like: ‘Get back to you!’ You’re gone. It’s all about uncovering the new normal.”
“My weight loss had been totally inconsistent because I was doing three, four, even five months of the perfect diet. I’m talking no dairy, no grains, no carbs, but then you eat one crouton and you turn into a puffer fish because your body goes into shock. Not to mention the miserable deprivation of the pleasure of life: food.”
She explained how she eats healthy 80 per cent of the week and devour her favorite food on the remaining 20 per cent.
She said: ”I follow the 80/20 rule,”
“With this, I can have some pasta and some wine—because, da******, I love my wine!”
“I know when I’m not working out and I’m eating improperly, I go into my closet and I resent my clothes. I don’t want to get dressed. I feel defeated and not in a positive place mentally. But when I’m working out and enjoying my life as in, I’m having some pasta and I’m drinking some wine, but spending five days a week eating sensibly—I can let go of the mental gymnastics and tell myself, ‘I’ve got this.’”
Isn’t it easy to lose weight and still eating what you like? Well, just like Drew you can also have a cheat day when you can eat your heart out (let’s do on Saturday or Sunday) and on weekdays you can eat according to your diet plan.
In this way, you will be able to balance your diet.
