Kristin Cavallari was “afraid” of eating carrots while on her diet.
The 37-year-old beauty currently feels in the “best shape” of her life – but Kristin used to struggle with her diet.
Speaking to Bustle, Kristin said, “I’m eating more carbs than ever before.
“There was a time in my life when I didn’t eat any carbohydrates. I was even afraid of carrots for a while because I was doing a ketogenic diet combined with intermittent fasting. I think that messed up my metabolism and it took me a year to stabilize.
“This freedom in eating was really nice.”
Kristin first rose to fame through “Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County” and now considers the television show to be an educational experience for her.
She explained: “We were very young when our lives were manipulated in this way. I’m not complaining about it. I’m so grateful for the show. I think it can be both – I can feel like we were taken advantage of and I can also be grateful for it.”
“At that age, 17, 18, no one really knows who they are, but it definitely made me feel like, ‘I’m not that girl on TV, but if there’s even a small part of me that’s like that, then I know I don’t want to be that.’ So maybe it was actually a blessing in disguise and made me a nicer person overall.”
Earlier this year, an insider revealed that Kristin was “happier than ever.”
The reality star is enjoying life with her boyfriend Mark Estes and her three children – Camden (11), Jaxon (10) and Saylor (8) – are also doing great.
The source told PEOPLE: “Everything is going so well with Mark and he gets along great with their kids. They have a lot of fun together. Their friends honestly haven’t seen them this happy in the last decade.”
