Debra Messing feels great after losing 20 pounds.
Speaking to ABC News, the former Will & Grace star said she set out to rid her body of the ‘crappy foods’ she grew up consuming after feeling constantly tired and lethargic – which she had simply attributed to the busy life of a single working mom.
She added: ”I lost like 20 pounds. It wasn’t my intention, that wasn’t why I made the change. I made the change because I was just tired all the time. For a long time, I just accepted that was the plight of a working, single mother. You’re juggling everyday.”
The actress, who started dating her ‘Smash’ co-star Will Chase shortly after splitting from Daniel, drinks homemade green vegetable juices every morning, which helps her to stick to her diet for the rest of the day.
She said: ”At least I know I’m starting my day and getting a big shot of nutrients that I need. I start out strong.”
She added: ”I’m just eating really, really clean healthy foods. Obviously I knew there was an association between what I ate and whether I gained 10 pounds or lost 10 pounds, but it never really became a reality for me that it shows on the outside in your hair and skin and even the clarity of your eyes. I was just stubborn.”
