Sofia Vergara‘s Diet

Summary

Vergara was always naturally slim, and says when she was a teenager, she’d wear two pairs of jeans to give herself more of a shape. Still, time catches up with all of us and now she has to put more effort in to maintain her hourglass figure. Consistency is Vergara’s watchword with regard to both diet and exercise. She isn’t too strict, but she doesn’t like dieting and so she makes an effort to keep cheating to a minimum during the week. She says she naturally gravitates toward healthy foods, such as Greek yogurt, fruit, nuts, fish, and vegetables, but that she also has a sweet tooth that she needs to keep an eye on. She also makes sure to stay hydrated with plenty of water and considers it one of the most important parts of any beauty routine.
