Katherine Heigl Had To Lose 10 Pounds For “Knocked Up”

Katherine Heigl had to lose ten pounds for her role in “Knocked Up” and she said the dieting was “awful”. Katherine had to eat fish and veggies and work out daily to get the super fit body she sported in the box office hit.

 “It was awful! I remember once reading an article about Jessica Alba – who is the most beautiful, most in-shape person alive – and how committed she was to her regimen. And I thought, There is no way in hell that will ever be me. I can’t only eat fish and vegetables or work out seven days a week. Then suddenly I was that person and I was shocked. But I could never maintain it. I like food too much!”

Amen sista! We know you do what you have to do for the payday, but we love the fact that she refuses to get sucked into the Hollywood body machine.

“Jennifer Aniston and Halle Berry are both in amazing shape. They look phenomenal but they don’t look sick. Then there’s Kate Winslet: She’s confident, beautiful, talented and sexy and she owns it. Early in my career, I read an interview she gave about how the industry wanted her to lose weight; she basically gave them the finger and said no. I remember thinking, I can do that too. I don’t have to look like one of these genetically superior people in order to work.”

Add this down to earth  view on body image to her outspoken loyality to her friend TJ Knight and we officially add Katherine to our list of chicks that rock!
