Alanis Morissette Goes Vegan Loses 20 Pounds

Canadian singer Alanis Morissette is showing off her new trim figure after losing 20 pounds through a strict vegan diet. She shed the weight over three months after making a conscious decision to change her eating habits. The 34-year-old reveals her secrets in the new issue of OK!

On what she ate that made her gain weight: “A lot of salt and processed grains like bread. I was a sandwich person, and if I had rice, I would pack the salt on.”

On her workout routine : When I’m out on tour, my shows are so physical that that really takes care of it. When I’m not on tour, I do between a half hour to an hour of light weights, running, biking, swimming, probably five times a week. I also love to kickbox and dance.

On what her boyfriend attorney Tom Ballanco thinks of her weight loss: “He just cares about my well-being. He thought I was sexy at whatever weight that I’ve been. I’ve never felt loved in that way before.”

On having a wedding soon: “I could see in the not too distant future being married with children, absolutely, but I’m in no crazy rush. I wildly respect him. How he views the world, the lens through which he looks at life is very similar to mine. To have that in common makes me sleep well at night.”
