Only a few years ago, actress Kate Winslet was what we could have called (and even did) a plumper woman, a description that she personally never avoided or did anything to rid herself of. In all fairness, Kate was never a size 0, a thing she often expressed pride in, saying that healthy cannot, and should not, equal sickly thin. With all that, she still does plenty of exercise to keep in top shape.

One thing that fans, and not only, know about the “Titanic” actress is that she’s one of the most discrete and shy celebrities Hollywood has to offer, so we shouldn’t be surprised if her dietary plan and workout routine are among the things she does not speak of that much. Yet, interviews with her can help a bigger picture gain contour and it is telling us that, not surprisingly, Kate is not the kind to go crazy for strict diets.

Quite on the contrary, as a matter of fact, the actress has progressively eliminated all alcohol, bread and processed foods from her daily intake, sticking only to natural, healthy foods. As for sports, a short spell on the treadmill every now and then does the trick for her. “I don’t drink, don’t eat bread and limit processed food as it tends to be full of additives. A little bit of running on the treadmill every now and then helps. It bores the hell out of me, but you’ve got to do it.” she is quoted as telling a media outlet a while back.

The only thing that Kate Winslet did out of the ordinary in terms of weight loss was shaking off 56 pounds after the birth of her daughter, with the help of the Facial Analysis Diet, which implies spotting nutritional deficiencies and disorders by “reading” the face. “The weight just dropped off, my skin’s much better; I never feel tired. I just feel great.” Kate said about the Diet.

With these in mind, Kate Winslet might not be the “ideal,” standard Hollywood woman, in the sense that she still isn’t, and will probably never be, a size 0, or anything close to it. What she is, though, is the perfect example that fit should always equal healthy.
