Vanessa Hudgens covers the December 2018 issue of Women’s Health US – getting real about body image, how she’s changed her diet and exercise routine, and when she thinks she’ll settle down.
On her body philosophy and experimenting with intermittent fasting:
“If I ever get to the point that I’m not happy with my body, I’ll do something about it. You will always have the power to do something. Sometimes it will take a little longer than you would like, and sometimes it may be a little more extreme. But if you honestly have a goal, you can do it. You just need to figure out the right way to get there.”
On finding confidence in her petite build:
“I see how women who are 5’9 walk into a room, and I am so attracted to the space they take up. But then I started to realize that you can take up space without height—with your achievements, points of view, and opinions. Now that I’ve realized I can work through it, I’m like, ‘How do I make myself feel more confident?’”
On her 7-year relationship with Austin Butler:
“We both respect, trust and admire each other. It’s so solid now because I feel strong as an independent woman. I am very self-reliant, but it’s nice to have a best friend you can share victories with as well as losses.”
On her newly pescatarian diet, inspired by Paul McCartney:
“I used to be the girl who ate bacon for breakfast every single morning.” Now… “I love finding things that are good for you and also taste amazing. I try to get enough healthy fats, protein, and foods that give me energy.” (source)
