Eva Mendes Enjoys Eating Junk Food

In a sea of too-skinny actresses and stick-thin socialites, Eva Mendes stands out. Not only is she in fabulous shape (and not too thin or unhealthy looking), but she is obviously comfortable enough with her figure that she posed nude for a recent Jane Magazine cover.

… Mendes refuses to gripe about her figure. “I’m thankful that I’m healthy and that I have my limbs and a nice physique. Of course, there are things anybody wishes they didn’t have or wishes there were more of, but why even bring that up? I think it comes off as bratty.”

Eva also admits to eating junk food, because she enjoys it.

“The combination of tacos and French fries, it’s heavenly. Throw in a shake in there, and you’ve got a party.” she told the press recently.

It sounds like Eva has a generally healthy body image, although I personally can’t understand how people can indulge in junk food with any regularity and maintain a healthy figure. At any rate, Eva is a better body role model than many other celebrities that I can think of…

    imho, she was in perfect shape but has also fallen into the skinny preference obsession….
    she has lost weight and has been training heavily.
    Dont she how she is different from other Hollywood women.
    I wonder how you got to that opinion.

    * Dont see how..

    Really really photoshopped, I would have put this under “photoshopped celebrities.” You don’t see how people can eat junk food daily while maintaining their figure? As long as people keep under their caloric limit they can’t gain weight. Simple as that. If you count calories, than you can eat fast food junk every day in the right portion sizes. You can have a couple mcdonald’s cheeseburgers, small shake, ice cream cone, eg mcmuffin, and MORE junk every day without gaining an ounce if you watch the calorie totals overall. The only drawback is that you’ll eat less making you feel hungry a lot and you’ll become extremly unhealthy and probably unhappy and malnurashed.

    Sorry, I don’t trust those photos. They looked shopped.

    Also, I’m a very healthy eater, so the junk food she mentioned made me want to barf. She might as well eat from the garbage can - that food is so junky.

  6. purpleplague | 30/07/07

    It’s easy to eat junk and maintain a healthy weight. She either eats small portions, eats only when truly hungry, or perhaps she counts calories.

    ^I’ve seen candids of her recently and those photos aren’t photoshopped that much at all. She looks about the same size as she does in candids. I think she has a great body.

    Why do my comments take a million years to await moderation?

  9. mamalisa | 30/07/07

    Ilove Eva…she looks fantastic!!

  10. Violaine | 30/07/07

    She is wonderful.

  11. Am | 30/07/07

    She’s fine. I’ve seen pics of her in swimsuit. Girlfriend has junk in her trunk but it beats being a stick. She’s got a body women should have.

  12. Holly J | 30/07/07

    Eva is hot!!! My boyfriend loves her and so do I!! She’s is mos def slim…she just is not boney, but she’s not a big girl at all. I read the cosmo article with her that came out a few months ago, and she said she wears anything from a 26 waist jean to a 29 waist. I liked how she admitted her size. I think a 26 is like a size 4/5, but I’m not sure, and a 29 is a size 7/8. What I like most about Eva, that although she isn’t stick thin, she is so exotic lookin and just really lovley, I don’t really care she isn’t 100. Also, I have seen candids of her, and she really does look like this.

  13. Baby | 30/07/07

    Love her body.

  14. tim jones | 30/07/07

    She is good looking, don’t get me wrong, but she is still too thin. She needs to start eating more junk food and have it show to be hot in my book.

  15. Sacharomyces cerevisiae | 30/07/07

    yeah ok-she eats junk food etc but still:photoshopped to death and the critical bits (butt and thighs) well hidden. sigh…

  16. Swanhilda | 30/07/07

    You are so right Sacharomyces cerevisiae.

  17. suzy | 30/07/07

    “I can’t understand how people indulge in junk food with any regularity and maintain a healthy figure”? Well, if they are as young as Eva and the other celubu-whatevers, they can. For now. But it will catch up with them in their late 20’s, when their bodies finish growing and their metabolism slows down. Then, yikes. Where did that mystery bulge come from? Then they become tim jones’ dream girls…

  18. mushroom | 30/07/07

    comments about loving curves and eating junk food or not really caring about weight are laughable when coming out of the mouths of celebs that were born with (or paid for) kickass bodies with near perfect proportions.

  19. *sheesh* | 30/07/07

    eva has a booty. she is bomb

  20. Elle | 30/07/07

    Good for her indulging. We all should while our metabolisms are still working at a quick speed. Although, that photo does look like it may have been tampered with in the photoshop department. So difficult to not see that these days.

  21. Heather | 30/07/07

    I *love* Eva.
    And of course people can eat junk and still have awesome figures. It’s just all about the caloric intake vs. caloric consumption in weight loss/gain/maintenance. You could lose weight eating 1400-1600 cals from McDs everyday as long as your burned more than you consumed. Of course, you’d feel better and get more nutrients all of the calories came from lean proteins, fruits and verggies.

  22. lambman | 30/07/07

    I think Eva is so pretty, and she is slim but not skinny.

    If you are tall and have a fairly fast metabolism junk food doesn’t always affect you that much. If I’m lifting weights regularly (which I need to start again) I can eat junk food and not gain any fat.

    Thank you!!! I get really annoyed w/ comments like “EW how can you eat that ONE slice of pizza and not be 200 lbs???!!!??” …It’s easy. Count calories most of the time and indulge every once in a while. It’s not that difficult. Really, it doesn’t matter (weight-wise) what type of food you take it, it’s all about calories.

    Eva looks great! I love her!

  24. ~*~katie~*~ | 30/07/07

    honestly eva has one of the prettiest faces….shes gorgeous

  25. Laur | 30/07/07

    you can’t understand how people can indulge with regularity and maintain a healthy figure?! seriously?? it’s called MODERATION. it’s not like she gorges herself everyday. she probably just allows herself a treat every now and then so she doesn’t feel deprived. it’s not like you have to completely give up junk food to look like that.

  26. sydney | 30/07/07

    i luv eva!!shes so beautiful!she can get away with eating junk food!hey rian,u should add eva mendes too the list ovr there!chances are we will be seeing more and more of her!

    EXACTLY Laur, you don’t have to be a rocket scientists to figure it out! lol

  28. Becky | 30/07/07

    I’, not really sure who she is, but I have heard of her. Those pics are hard to tell what kind of body she has really, she’s sitting down. I wonder what she normally looks like.

    Anyway, I don’t know about you guys but it makes me feel quite pleased that a celebrity has actually admitted that, yeah, they do like to eat junk food. It makes her sound really down to earth and. . .normal?

  29. newgrrl99 | 30/07/07

    I love her and think she is one of the hottest women in hollywood… but man, you can barely even seen her body in these photos! Why is everyone saying they are photoshopped and why would they bother doing it? you can’t see her much at all!

  30. LaLa | 30/07/07

    Of course she’s thin. It’s called genes and exercise. jaime j and I are the only smart ones here.

  31. GoshGollyMe | 30/07/07

    they totally slenderfied that photo. covered hips, highlights on bone and shading on edges…

    attention everyone with a large butt:
    POSE LIKE THIS AND NO ONE WILL KNOW

  32. margaretta | 30/07/07

    What amounts of junk food. That’s what matters.
    She could just be having a bite!

  33. Persephone | 30/07/07

    I agree with Josy! and the others that said gaining/maintaining your weight is about calorie consumption.

    Her body is OK, I don’t think that the pictures are photoshopped to death. Her flaws are well hidden and of course there is some airbrushing going on.

  34. maddie | 30/07/07

    i agree rian.

  35. maddie | 30/07/07

    i like u jamie j.

  36. cancandoll | 30/07/07

    such a hypocrite. if she’s supposed to be full and curvy, nicole ritchie is getting a little too fat too. MY GOD

  37. Dardar | 30/07/07

    this is just a lot of “talk”.. nobody actually knows how she eats. It’s the typical i-eat-junk-all-time-and-still-look-good bids..blahblahblah

  38. MiMi | 31/07/07

    Eva DOES excersise that is how she can have that figure with junk food! She use to be bigger then that(i even saw her on Maxim).

  39. dooB | 31/07/07

    I love Eva Mendez, she is soo pretty. I love her personality too. It’s good to see a woman with curves.

  40. Eva2 | 31/07/07

    i actually read the entire interview and she admits to only indulging in junk food about once a month.
    she looks phenomenal . this is what women ahould look like . not emaciated little girls with no curves.

  41. SupermodelSuzie | 31/07/07

    She has a nice body, but her face is a cross between a man and a gorilla.

  42. KB | 31/07/07

    Eating junk and staying thin is not that hard and if I’m not mistaken, she’s tall so that helps. I’m 5′9″ and 128 lbs. and I eat junk, but it’s all checks and balances. I ate banana bread for two days, gained a bit so now I’m on Slim-fast and small meals till Friday, pizza night. On Sunday, I’ll have ice cream and take it easy Monday and do lots of cardio-burning cleaning. It’s not hard, the media just makes it hard. Junk food is meant for splurging, so do it once or twice a week and live life with fun!

  43. emilia | 31/07/07

    BRATTY?!…. i adore mendez but “BRATTY?!” … I’m sure alot of us would be much less “bratty” if we looked just a little bit more like her despite having parties with tacos, french fries and milk shakes! lol

  44. MelodySoul | 9/08/07

    I’m sure she doesn’t eat like that all the time. Even once a week would be consider “regular” but you can easilly indulge once a week and keep your figure/lose weight.

    That second pic is sooo photoshopped

  45. Reenefupnob | 9/03/08

    I’d prefer reading in my native language, because my knowledge of your languange is no so well. But it was interesting! Look for some my links:
