Alumna of “Office” has changed her outlook on diet and exercise.

Annually, 45 million Americans follow a diet. Mindy Kaling used to be one of these people until recently.

Kaling, 42, stated that if there were an awards show or I was filming something, then I used to be like, I have got to stop eating these foods or six weeks before, I’m only going juice.” Kaling told TODAY.

Kaling, 42 years old, decided to try moderation a few months back. This approach has produced impressive results.

“I’m never going stop being a foodie. The actor said that he will never be able to eat salmon and spinach every day. “I am trying moderation for the first time in all my life. I love it.”

Kaling also stated that her outlook on fitness has changed.

She revealed that in my 20s I believed a workout must be hard, such as running for 45 minutes and having to hate it all the time. “I no longer have that relationship with exercise.”

Walking is Kaling’s favourite form of cardio. Kaling doesn’t care about how many steps she’s taking, but she does aim to get her body moving seven days a week.

She said, “Sometimes, I’ll be like: “Well, there are four times in the day where I have 10 mins so let’s walk and not sit down and check Instagram.” Instead of it being a single exercise session at the beginning of each day or nothing at all, I am now determined to be more active all the time.

Kaling stated, “I don’t weigh myself.” However, Kaling, mother of Spencer, 20-month-old son, and Katherine, four-year old daughter, said it was much easier to dress these days.

She said, “The most amazing thing to me is that all of my clothes fit.” It’s easy to get dressed and that’s great. That makes me happy.

Kaling spoke out to TODAY about her partnership with Propel Water’s JOWO campaign, which is the joy of working out. This multi-city tour will offer free classes and $100,00 grants to trainers. There will also be giveaways.

Kaling stated, “(This] campaign is about recognizing that everyone can be at totally different levels of fitness but we can still claim that we are athletes and come collectively and find joy and movement.”
