I would eat 300 calories a day - a lot of Jell-O and no-sugar everything, of course. I was doing Pilates, weight-training, circuit training over lunch I would run on a treadmill in my dressing room with a fan on my face so I wouldn't sweat my makeup off.

If you've ever watched any of The Real Housewives, or those types of shows, they're all performing. Even though they're real people, they're performing.
