TheBridesmaidsstar then shut down recent rumors that her weight loss occurred because she doesn’t eat carbs, doubling down on her commitment to portion control.

“A lot of people think that I don’t eat carbs, but I do eat carbs," she said. “I just eat them in small portions. I do eat pizza and I do eat pasta. I just don’t eat a lot of it.”

“When I wasn’t watching my weight, I would sit down and eat a pint of Ben & Jerry’s sometimes, it’s just what I did — it was a habit — but now I’m much more careful I will have like a third of a pint and I’ll eat it slowly I won’t eat the whole pint at all,” the actress continued. “That’s in my past.”

ThePitch Perfectalum — who started a“year of health”back in 2020 — told the outlet that she thinks weight gain for many people occurs due to emotional eating, reflecting on how that’s impacted her journey as well.

“The problem is that people are stuck at a desk or in their car and they tend to get hungry, and they want to eat because that’s how they deal with stress or it’s a habit," she said. “Sometimes it’s hard for me, because I’m an emotional eater. That is my issue: I eat when my emotions run high. I still struggle with that and I still work with that all the time. It’s just a process. It’s a journey.”
