The actress added: "I'm the healthiest I've been in years and I'm so grateful - it's a miracle."

She also revealed how she lost weight: "After eating for 20 to 30 minutes, you hear an involuntary sigh. This is a communication between your stomach and brain that tells you that you've eaten enough... and what I "I've discovered that if you listen to that sigh and push the plate away for just five minutes, you'll realize that you're full and don't need to eat anymore."
