October 7, 2009 in Christina Hendricks by Versus
Oh oh… all you curvy lovers are probably a little worried – Will Christina lose her famous curves? Well, let’s hear the details!
Don’t worry, January Jones–Christina Hendricks has no intention of losing her curves. At an Emmy after-party on Sunday, the Mad Men actress told People that Christina’s “has gone on a diet” to prepare for her wedding. Her advice to her co-star: “Not to go too far, because if she loses her curves it will be a very sad day.”
Good thing Christina is totally content with how she looks. She told SELF, “My healthiest habit is keeping positive about my body at whatever stage it is–being confident and celebrating who I am at the moment.”
The sexy ’60s office manager–whose husband said she’s “changing people’s view of what’s beautiful”–did admit to switching up her diet, but not for her wedding, rather, a life change. Keep reading for the details!
Christina is a self-professed foodie, even though she grew up in a household where her mom made “very much Southern ’70s cooking, like fried chicken, mashed potatoes and quiche.” It wasn’t until she moved away from home that she realized there was a whole world of food out there. “Like vegetables!” she said. “My mom didn’t like them, so she hardly ever cooked them–and when she did, they would be overcooked. Now when she comes over and I make fresh veggies, she says, ‘These are the most delicious things I’ve ever had!’ So I’ve turned my mom on to vegetables, which is good.”
To stay healthy, Christina gets “inspired by” the seasonal recipes in cooking magazines and on sites like epicurious.com. “Otherwise, I’ll just go to the grocery store and look around for what’s beautiful and pick that up. Like rhubarbs!”
As for her diet, she started it “just for me, for my life. I feel like I need more energy, so I’m trying to stay away from tons of carbs and eat more protein.”
She also exercises three times a week with a trainer–and her fiancee! “It’s amazing how quick an hour can go by when you work out with someone you love,” she said. Their typical workout includes well-rounded cardio and strength development. “Working out together makes it fun!”
Christina’s perspective on health and fitness is pretty refreshing, huh? Not that she sees herself as a poster girl for curvy woman on TV. “At first, I thought people were calling me out and it made me feel uncomfortable that they were focused on it,” she admitted. “Then when I realized it was all positive and it was actually helping other people, it started making me feel great.”
