Nia Vardalos, the star from My Big Fat Greek Wedding, revealed her sleek physique this past month. Now, she’s speaking out about how she got not only her weight but also her health under control. She explained that in 2004, after having struggled with infertility, she retreated to her home and put on weight and started feeling the side effects. She said,
“My blood sugar went out of control. Diabetes runs in my family so I went to see my doctor,” she says. “He was like, ‘Buck up,’ and it was sort of the wake-up call that I needed to hear.”
Although she didn’t start working with a trainer or a nutritionist she did create her own diet plan which consisted of three low-glycemic meals a day, four snacks and long daily walks.
“I’m not one of those people that can suddenly start running and hire a Pilates trainer, it’s just not my thing,” says Vardalos. “The walks helped clear my head. I was weighing myself once a week, just trying not to be obsessive about it. I just wanted to feel better; I wanted to feel healthy.”
These days, the mother of a four-year-old whom she adopted last year is back on track. She looks happy, healthy and working in Hollywood again.
“It was never about that Hollywood pressure to lose weight, I laugh at that. It was always just an issue of health,” she says. “Some people have been calling it a comeback, I actually call it a resurfacing.”
