“I have learned, from past experience, that restriction backfires,” Julianne told Birdy. “If you make something off-limits, you just obsess over it more. And then you binge, and feel really naughty and guilty. So I don’t ever say ‘no desserts,’ or ‘no carbs.’ I don’t cut out food groups.”

She continued, saying: “I have my pasta; I eat sour candies when I get a craving. I just try to focus on balance, fresh and natural ingredients, and getting those raw veggies and variety so that I stay healthy and happy!”
