I don't eat for pleasure, says Jada Pinkett Smith

Washington, June 7 (ANI): Jada Pinkett Smith has revealed the secret behind her flawless body and attributed it to adhering to her grandmother's advice of not eating for pleasure.

The Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted star admitted that she eats for nourishment, as she believed that the taste of meals is irrelevant to what it does for the body.

"I don't eat for pleasure," Us magazine quoted her as telling Essence.

The 40-year-old explained that she "had the only West Indian grandmother that could not cook. She was an awful cook, and she taught me that you don't eat for taste, you eat for nourishment. And I have kept that over the years, so I can eat anything that's healthy."

Though she did acknowledge indulging in French fries and pizza, once in a while.

"I eat for my schedule so I have to eat high-protein, lots of greens and healthy carbs so that I don't fall flat on my face."

Her diet secrets aside, the actress and mother-of-three also reveals that she's planning to star in a movie with Will Smith, 43, her husband since 1997.

"Will is going to [shoot a film] with the boys probably, and he and I are gonna do one," she tells Essence. "He can't wait. He was like, 'You and me, next.' I was like. . . 'Let's do it!" she added. (ANI)
