Michelle Pfeiffer Eats Donuts To Stay In Shape
September 7th, 2007 by Rian | Filed under Celebrity Diets, Miscellaneous Celebrities.
Have you ever wondered how Michelle Pfeiffer keeps her slender shape? She indulges in donuts and other goodies every once in a while. The rest of the time, she just eats healthy, gets plenty of sleep and works out.
She said: “It’s simple. Eat well, exercise and get lots of sleep but make sure you indulge occasionally. At my age I think, what the hell, and eat a Krispy Kreme doughnut!”
She added: “My other thing is crunchy, salty food. I love chips, salsa and guacamole.”
It sounds like she has a normal, healthy relationship with food and weight. Good for her! If only it were that easy for everyone…
Wise woman.
I don’t think she’s that hot. I think she’s one of those ladies that looks good on screen but is old and worn out in real life.
Anyone who doesn’t think that Michelle Pheiffer looks amaaaaazing for their age is crazy!
In this picture, she looks great. Sometimes she can look pretty rough though.
I do that diet too and I don’t look like Michelle Pfeiffer ! Ho! no wait actually i do the opposite. I eat doughnut all the time and once in a while i eat a carrott. Sorry, my mistake !
so pretty. BUT did she really need the earrings and the necklace?
She looks great and has a healthy attitude toward her body and food. I wish that I had that approach.
yeah right Michelle. Suuuuuuure, and you haven’t had any work done on your face either.
Great work though- she;s gorgeous.
No! I work out with Michelle Phieffer’s trainers in Northern california and she definitely does not eat donuts. She just says that to the media to come across normal. But she definitely follows a strict diet that was in an article in W magazine a few months ago. It is calle The Happy Body. She is very stict and eats 2 meals a day with 3 small snacks which i also follow.
Here is a description of the article…I see her alot and work out with her
i think it is that easy for everyone.
if you`re eating healthy and doing sports you will have a good figure (not to mention clear skin and more energy).
the only thing you need to do is get informed (because not every diet that is said to be healthy is healthy for real) and change your habits.
It’s so hard for me to believe she’s just a year shy of 50. She looks great. I think she ate a donut once last year and is focusing one that one time.
That works, if you’re the type of person who can stop after just one once that floodgate has been opened.
Red eyes in the picture though.
She’s no Mischa Barton.
Mischa Barton needs to ask her advice on how to take care of what nature gives you to work with.
She is one of the most beautiful almost fifty year olds——-ever.
Thanks for the link, Claire. That regimen is absolute insanity. Total f*cking bunkum. There’s no need for THAT extreme an approach and lifestyle. Following it must make for a really happy attitude and make the person following it a real joy to be around.
She looks great for any age…she has always looked great imo
I tihnk she looks wonderful!!!! I could only hope to look that good at her age…
Yeah ok that’s great cause she is old now, but when she was the young hotness she was bulimic!!!
Stupid!
Fucking liar.
she looks amazing for her age
She looks really pretty. I agree with her advice. I have similar habits.
I think and always thought she was one of the most classy and stunning women in the world.What ever she’s doing to stay beautiful, it sure is working.
ANYBODY COULD SAY THAT THEY EAT DOUGHNUTS….BUT IN REALITY THATS BS….SHE’S JUST LIKE THE REST OF THOSE HOLLYWOOD ANAS >:(
this is not the most flattering photo but i think she looks beautiful!!!
was she really bulimic?
I’ve always thought she was gorgeous. She does however look 50 to me… just a hot 50 year old!
yea i’m sure she eats junk food all the time..ppfftt..
She’s about as close to honest as I think a celeb is being about diet. She’s admitting she’s very careful about what she eats with an occasional treat. And ‘occasionally’ doesn’t mean every day. Plus she’s only maintaining her weight not trying to lose.
And Jacky you’re too funny!
At 49 she’s simply amazing. Totally agree Mem, she probaly does look her age, because she’s not oddly stretched or injected up.
she’s effing lying
and so overrated

She does look great– but the woman has definitely had work done on her body and face. It’s a little irritating to me when celebs say things like this, as if anyone can do this and look just like them. In reality, they have all have armies of stylists, surgeons, makeup artists, etc. working on them.
Yes, it is a good diet plan, but she’s doing a lot more than just that.
I’ve always wanted to know why she hasn’t aged over the years. She looks just like she did in Grease 2 for god sakes. What’s up with that??
I like her attitude and I think it shows on her body… she always has looked excellent - not too thin, but never overweight and out-of-shape. A great model for the food and weight obsessed girls who try to exist on two shreds of lettuce, can’t take it anymore and than dive into a gallon of ice cream.
I don’t know whether she has a specific diet, but from the blurb here on Skinny Website, it sounds practical. I eat chips, salsa and guacamole frequently! I think it’s important to eat things that you want to, your body will stop when you’re full. If you don’t starve, you’re not going to over do it and over eat either. It’s a matter of balance. I’m not naive and saying that it’s easy to get over an eating disorder, because I realize it’s something that really needs to be professionally worked on for a long time. Helping your body by eating in a friendly manner will go a long way, and you won’t gain weight.
I think she’s gorgeous. Her attitude towards food is good, a donut once in a while doesn’t ruin anyone’s diet.
she looks so good and it’s right eat also high calories food,little portions and it’s ok…stop with the starving diet…the only good thing is learn a healthy and balanced habit…
No mention of all the plastic surgery she’s had….. Surgeries she’s even admitted to.
This has got to be the most beautiful woman I have ever seen.
I like how she says she “eats donuts” to stay in shape…riiiight. She probably eats a Krispy Kreme once a month MAYBE. I think if you work out regularly, eat a reasonably healthy diet, and allow yourself a few treats, of course you’ll look great when you get older. I hope I look half as good as Michelle when I’m 50. Courtney Love needs to take a lesson from her!
She’s so gorgeous. When I reach 50, I would be thrilled to look HALF as good.
I do her diet too and exercises but maybe i dont eat so much of chips and salty food. So I am sure when I am in her age I will look as good as her or even better…
A krispy kreme (glazed) only has like 190 calories or something — that’s not even that bad at all!
Michelle looks fabulous–end of story.
I can’t wait for the next Mischa Barton thread. She wore some nice dresses for a change–and her body is going to provoke some comments.
Good for her!
Did anyone see how skinny she looked in “Hairspray”? Very skinny for such an old woman.
Michelle is amazing, freaking gorgeous! ALWAYS loved her, her Catwoman is one of my all time fav film characters right up there with Donnie Darko and Satin from Moulin Rouge
My comment has been in jail for hours now!!!!! Michelle has always been breathtakingly beautiful. I think from what it sais here, she sounds quite sensible. Balance is always best.
But Nani, how many of those calories are fat calories? Probably most of them. That’s not to say that she shouldn’t have her donut, just that you could choose a snack at the same calorie content with much less fat.
You guys don’t believe her do you?
i think pretty much every actress says “yeah, i have a normal diet but i do love to eat junk food and to stay in shape all i really do is walk my dog.” give me a break. you know that most actresses dont eat a lot, have a trainer, exercise constantly, and gets botox and facials and peels, etc…. i wish theyd just be honest rather giving the usual lines.
PS.
oops, i seem to have left some words out of the above paragraph.. !
I think she looks beautiful, but I’m almost sure she’s lying.
There’s no rule that sais you can’t have a donut or you’ll suddenly blow up like a balloon! Moderation in snacking and being able to treat yourself is important.
Jane, I agree. The necklace and earrings seem to cheapen her. She’s got such striking features though. Very pretty. Oh and as for the donut dilemma, I do believe she has donuts once in a while. She’s not a skeleton or anything so I don’t see why that is so hard to believe. Balance is key! (as someone already said)
Why are some of you guys making such a big deal about the fact that she eats junk food? Every once in a while, we need to treat ourselves. Pfeiffer didn’t even say she ate them everyday! Geez people.
Its funny. I used to be overweight. My opinion of my thin friends…. “Whatever. Your skinny. You don’t eat anything.”
I’m very thin now. I eat fairly healthy. Not perfect. Every once in a while you do have to let yourself have that donut or at least a bite of one. Some kind of indulgence. When you don’t indulge you end up giving in and eating a box of donuts. Then you complain that eating one donut and staying thin is impossible.
Have you tried it? Eating healthy all month and buying a candy bar at work because it sounds good. Yum. Back to eating healthy.
I doubt it.
Spectra, eating a donut once a month while eating healthy IS probably what she meant. Its not like “Oh hey.. I ate healthy all day. Think I’ll have a donut. Indulge a little. I hope I do this well tomorrow!”
Um, duh. One donut only has 200 - 400 calories. She could easily eat a donut and a cup of black coffee for a meal, be rather full and content, and maintain a thin weight.
doesn’t everone think it’s amazing how jessica alba has become so skinny recently when she ‘hasn’t worked out in months except for yoga and she eats whatever she wants’????
One donut does not make you fat. As long as it’s not everyday. I believe her. However as I said above, she has had work done and I think it’s obvious, however she does look great! Especially for her age.
sorry- this is really mean, but I must say it!!!!
SHE LOOKS LIKE THE WHITE VERSION OF MICHAEL JACKSON!!!look @the pic and I swear you’ll see it!
now that that is said, what is so ‘’amazing'’ about eating doughnuts every once in a while and still staying thin? come on, if you really watch what you eat all week and eat ONE doughnut on the weekend + an extera 30min of running, what’s stopping you from losing weight even if you are hitting 50?
good to hear at least one Hollywood beauty is acting normally when it comes to food - she’s a good example (as long as she really does this and isn’t just blowing hot air) for others - she looks great but i wish the botox forehead wasn’t there
“indulge occasionally” That says it all. mmmmm…krispy kremes…my problem is I can’t eat less than six
For her ages, she really keep her body very well.
didnt anyone see her in the movie hairspray she looked ill and very gaunt and anorexic looking did she not??
Thank you Claire(waaay at the top) for telling it like it is…also, SkinnyGirl, I was wondering if you were planning on covering the story that is in InTouch magazine about the celebutantes that are wasting away skinny? It would be much appreciated.:-)
a healthy star for once. though she was looking quite thin in hairspray. she still looks amazing.
The title of this blog is so misleading, shes not saying she eats donuts to stay in shape. She exercises and eats healthy to stay in shape, she eats junk in moderation…..
MICHELLE PFEIFFER ROCKS MY EFFING WORLD!! love her to death… and Oksana, you (and no one else) will EVER look as good as she does at 49 (or ever). and omg CLAIRE!! you workout with her! that’s amazing!! sooooo luckyyy… tell me much gossip : )
i def. agree with eating in moderation and that a donut once in a while wont make you fat, etc… but i just think that to look like her at her age, it takes a bit more than that..
Seriously Oksana? We’re here to discuss celebrities- not your hotness level.
Skinny Girl, are you okay? I know you have a life otherwise, but I’m starting to worry about ya.
Ok, those of you who comment on pictures like this stating “I could only hope to look that good at her age” need to rephrase that to “I could only hope I have enough money to re-arrange my face to look that good at her age.”
She aint ugly. but his whole celebrity image thing is a crock and to those of you idolizing this hoo hah need to snap out of it.
Quit fucking with nature and be happy on the inside. Who gives a fuck what you look like, It’s your attitude. You could be the nicest person and butt ugly but you’ll still be a hell of a lot more important than someone who is pleasing to the eye but a complete bore and superficial.
In conclusion, she reminds me of a snake.
All the female celebs…say they don’t work out…even J. Alba recently said she hasn’t worked out for two months!!! Shah right!
Michelle hasn’t seen a krispy kreme donut in years! Lies!
love her!
Ahhhh. WreckChords, you’re a fabulous breath of fresh air!
if people think indulging is having a donut you need to take a very strong chill pill
please
i eat donuts when i want, it isnt often but a minimum of twice a week of two donuts does me a world of good
She is a classic beauty……I’d do her!
I eat a ton of junk food…..but try very hard to do it in moderation, no big deal.
If I’ve eaten well all week, and gone to the gym I feel perfectly fine eating popcorn at the movies, or having chips and beer at a bbq…if its not every day, or a big percentage of your total diet it really doesn’t have too bad an effect
I bet she eats a donut now and then. It’s probably what keeps her at a thin yet steady weigh - the right to indulge now and then can keep folks from going on an all out binge.
