''I want my health to be a priority,'' she tells E! News.
When it comes to losing weight, Drew Barrymore isn't afraid to admit she's struggled with it. We feel you, girl!
During an interview with E! News about her new partnership with Emsculpt, the Santa Clarita Diet actress discussed her personal journey with weight loss, especially after having two daughters, Olive and Frankie Barrymore Kopelman. Drew revealed that despite her best efforts to diet and exercise, her body just wouldn’t shed the weight as she expected.
"My problem was that no matter how hard I dieted or exercised, after having two kids—and my genetic predisposition— I was never losing weight," she shared. "I was always getting injured, so this, for me, was a game-changer."
She continued, "I’ve been able to build my core with Emsculpt, and it’s completely changing my life. I can work out more [and] that just makes me feel mentally better and physically better."
So, how does it work? In simple terms, Emsculpt is a non-invasive body-contouring treatment that helps to build muscle. Drew described it as feeling like "doing 20,000 crunches in 30 minutes" due to the “magnetic field” machine.
While Emsculpt has made a big difference for Drew, she stresses the importance of a healthy diet and regular exercise for maintaining overall fitness.
"You do have to maintain a workout routine, it's not a magic wand," she explained. She also admitted with a laugh, "[I] wish I could eat pasta for three meals a day, and wash it down with wine."
She confessed there was a time when she put her children, work and everything in-between first. But now, she's more than ready to focus on her health. "I want to shift that," the 44-year-old actress said. "I want my health to be a priority."
For Drew, the shift in priorities comes after a period where she put her children, work, and everything else first. "I want to shift that," the 44-year-old actress said. "I want my health to be a priority."
It’s not just about looking good for Drew; it’s about feeling good. "I’m just trying to have a life that makes sense... [I] don’t want to feel an aesthetic, [I] want to feel good and confident."
As for her love life, Drew revealed that she’s not a fan of dating apps. "I tried a dating app for like five minutes, and I hated it so much. I can't even express on public television the feelings it gave me, but they weren't positive, and I didn't like it at all."
