Mindy Kaling Is Done With Crash Diets And "Punishing" Herself With Exercise

In a time when celebrities are still openly admitting to dangerous crash diets ahead of red carpet events, at least we can count on Mindy Kaling.

The star, who has partnered with Propel to promote 'the joy of working out' recently shared how her philosophy about fitness and dieting has changed radically since her 20s.

I used to be this person that would be like, 'Okay, I have a big event coming up, the pressure's on. I have six weeks to just like, stop eating, juice cleanse, do the boot camps' — whatever.

She's got other things on her mind. The writer-producer-actress is currently juggling multiple projects including Legally Blonde 3, The Sex Lives of College Girls, and Never Have I Ever and her two kids

Kaling has also been influenced by her friend B.J. Novak who "got really into yoga" during the pandemic.

He recently was saying how much he loved it and I think it's a very, very good type of workout for someone with my personality because I'm kind of anxious.

She's also finally come around to the idea of stretching. "I think because of my age, I can't keep up with the kind of cardio I want to do or with the training I want to do if I don't stretch.
