The \u201cOffice\u201d alum \u2014 who\u2019s reportedly lost 40 pounds<\/a> since 2020 \u2014 was hit with speculation<\/a> that she turned to a GLP-1 weight loss drug to trim her figure.<\/p>\n

However, she chalked up her body transformation to eating smaller portions<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cHonestly, I just eat less,\u201d she said in an April 2022 interview<\/a> with \u201cEntertainment Tonight.\u201d \u201cI wish there was something more juicy about the way that I\u2019ve\u00a0lost a little bit of weight, but that\u2019s the way I\u2019ve done it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kaling noted that as the world returned to normal after the COVID-19 pandemic, \u201ceating whatever is probably not the way to go.\u201d<\/p>\n

Her mother\u2019s death in 2012 from pancreatic cancer also inspired her to think about her health and mortality in a new way. She even became an ambassador for the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network.<\/p>\n

The six-time Emmy nominee continued to discuss her health goals during a May 2022 interview with the \u201cToday\u201d Show,<\/a> admitting that she had been on a mission to \u201clook a certain way\u201d since the age of 14.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wish there was something more juicy about the way that I\u2019ve\u00a0lost a little bit of weight, but that\u2019s the way I\u2019ve done it,\u201d she said. FilmMagic<\/p>\n

\u201cI used to be the person that was like, \u2018I have to stop eating this food or six weeks beforehand I\u2019m only going to juice,’\u201d she said, explaining that the diet restrictions would only work about \u201c30 percent of the time\u201d and \u201c70 percent of the time [she] couldn\u2019t stick to it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kaling shared that she is really trying to enjoy things in \u201cmoderation\u201d for the first time in her life.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am never going to stop being a foodie. I\u2019m never going to be someone who can just have spinach and salmon every single day,\u201d she said on the show. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe Mindy Project\u201d creator reflected on how she used to believe that working out had to be rigorous and something \u201cyou had to hate.\u201d Fortunately, Mindy said she no longer has \u201cthat relationship with exercise anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n

A year later, the \u201cNever Have I Ever\u201d creator shared that she is finally feeling comfortable in her own skin. <\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m feeling really confident in my body these days, which is not something that I\u2019ve been able to say for my whole life, unfortunately,\u201d she told People<\/a> in May 2023, adding, \u201cI feel great.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Tony Award winner credited her weight loss to running and hiking nearly 20 miles a week, as well as weight lifting.<\/p>\n

\u201cWorking out can be a really private moment\u2026where people don\u2019t need anything from you, and that can be great,\u201d she told the mag. <\/p>\n

That same year, Kaling shared on Instagram that her doctor told her she was the \u201chealthiest [she has] been in years.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mindy Kaling showed off her fit frame in a bold look while attending the star-studded Golden Eve event…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":395171,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[49,48,361,46326,362,31565,75,12439,118238,2372],"class_list":["post-395170","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-celebrities","tag-celebrity-diets","tag-celebrity-news","tag-celebrity-weight-loss","tag-entertainment","tag-health-and-fitness","tag-mindy-kaling","tag-womens-health"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/395170","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=395170"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/395170\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/395171"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=395170"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=395170"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=395170"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
