American actor Jennifer Aniston said that she gave herself a break from her diet regime, and now enjoys pasta and sandwiches. She said that as long as the food was had in moderation, there was nothing to be afraid of.  “Why are you depriving me of things I love?” said the 52-year-old actor.

“I started to give myself a break, allowing yourself to have pasta, a sandwich”, said Aniston. “Everyone’s very afraid of the bread basket, and I’m no longer afraid, as long as it’s all done in moderation. There’s something my body appreciates about (having carbs), like, ‘Oh, thank you! Why are you depriving me of things I love?’” reported Independent Online.

Aniston said that she practises intermittent fasting and consumes collagen. “I kind of naturally do intermittent fasting, just because I’m not a breakfast person. I just like a cup of coffee and my collagen”.

“I was hitting a stage in my life where I wanted to up the health game. Back in October, my back went out; I’d done a really hard workout, and then one day I tried to get up and couldn’t. I literally fell to the floor and ended up having to go get an MRI. Sure enough, I had a 9-mm bulging disc, which is really intense. So my whole workout had to change”, added Aniston. She said that she could not run after the injury.

“We can’t just do one simple move. We try to add four moves to one. I haven’t been able to run, which is my love. I’m going to slowly start incorporating that into my workouts again”, said Aniston.
