Actress Jennifer Love Hewitt covers the October issue of Shape magazine, where she milks her recent weight loss discusses her diet and exercise secrets.
Last summer, Hewitt made headlines when she announced that she lost 18 lbs. in 10 weeks by following a low-carb, low-calorie diet and working out regularly with a personal trainer.
A few months earlier, Hewitt had been mercilessly teased by celebrity tabloids for having gained some weight when unflattering photos of her surfaced online (see below).
While Jennifer, 30, has kept the extra weight off since then, she still battles body-image issues. "For the most part, yeah, I'm happy with my body," she says, "But there are days when I'm like, 'Ugh! Really? Why is it so hard to fit into my jeans?'"
To make sure she eats a healthy diet, Love Hewitt goes food-shopping every two days. "Instead of piling up food in my fridge that says 'Come eat me!' I keep enough for only a couple of days," she says. "And I rarely have treats around that might tempt me late at night, which is when I usually crave something really fattening. What am I going to do? Drive out at 11 at night just to satisfy a craving? No, that's crazy."
Jennifer says her new boyfriend, actor Jamie Kennedy, inspires her to improve her eating habits . "He has a salad with every meal, plus lots of fruit, fish, and vegetables," she says.
In return, Jennifer has gotten him to exercise more. "Last summer we were in Monaco," she recounts. "Every morning we ran for 40 minutes through the streets of Monte Carlo. It was an amazing way to see the city. Now when we travel, we try to explore the places by running."
In addition to healthy eating and working out, Hewitt embraces positive thinking. "In the morning, before I leave the house, I say five things I love about myself, like 'You have really pretty eyes.' That way I can go out into the world with that little bit of extra confidence," she says. "It's a feel-good protein shake in my back pocket in case someone messes with me that day."
