Seyfried has opened up on her healthy lifestyle which she says is all about
finding the right balance. Unlike other stars who have admitted to extreme
diets or cleanses, Amanda says she does like to have a raw diet on occasion but
will only keep it up for a week to cleanse. She doesn't feel comfortable
cutting out sugar or coffee from her diet. Amanda adds that she works out every
day in moderation: “But only for an hour. The occasional raw diet for a
single week, just to cleanse. I’m just not into hardcore anything. If I go on a
diet, I can’t quit something. Emotionally, I need sugar in my life. I like
wine. And coffee. It’s like, coffee, you can’t drink coffee?”
Amanda
candidly admits she is often conscious of her figure but doesn't feel the same
pressures models do to look completely flawless. She compliments curvy American
model Kate Upton for showing that women can look beautiful with a different
figure and thinks it's refreshing for people to see that there shouldn't just
be one beauty ideal: “I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t constantly aware of
what I’m doing with my body. I don’t have to look like a supermodel. I don’t
have to have these abs — the camera doesn’t see that. but because we have all
been designed to want these things, I’m a victim of this stuff too. Thank God
for Kate Upton. She’s a supermodel, she has curves. She’s like
the new image of beauty and thank god.”
