Why I'll Never Diet Again

Stay in shape without starving? It’s a YES from us!

American Horror Story actress Emma Roberts looks fit, fabulous and so damn happy as the December cover girl for US Shape magazine. And that’s because she’s living her best life yet, thanks to a few valuable health lessons...

DON’T DIET!

Yep, you read that right! There are plenty of diets to try out there – paleo, gluten-free, sugar free, low-carb, no-carb... But when it comes to what food plan works best for Emma, she’s learnt that the strict, fad ways of eating just aren’t for her.

“With my diet, I do what feels good for me at the time,” Emma, 26, tells Shape. “I try not to say that I won’t eat something. Instead, I stay in tune with my body and mind, and I think, ‘What do I feel like eating?’”

That said, the actress’s typical diet would be closest to the 80/20 method – meaning she tends to eat clean, healthy foods the majority of the time (the 80 percent), but still allows a small window to enjoy some treats (that’s the 20 percent part).
