You guys were really interested in Eva's 5-Factor Fitness but she also told Cosmopolitan magazine about another less structured diet, the Jeans Diet, that she follows.
Want to know what the Jeans Diet is all about, then read more
Cosmo: You have a hot—but real—bod. What do you do to keep it that way?
Eva: I work out with a trainer three days a week, and we do 30 to 45 minutes of cardio and then very light weight training. On another day, I’ll go on a great hiking trail. I don’t own a scale—I fluctuate 5 to 7 pounds and don’t worry about it. I have thinner size jeans, which are 27s, but I also have 28s for when I’m a little more voluptuous. Then I have 29s, which are totally me…very womanly. I don’t allow myself to go any lower than 27 or any higher than 29—it’s the Jean Diet. I’ve learned to love my body whether I’m 7 pounds heavier or 7 pounds lighter. I’m accepting of my body and have a good relationship with it.
Once again, I am loving Eva. She realizes that size is not the end all be all and with all the vanity sizing going on, I am totally on board with sticking to a few sizes that you are comfortable in. It is OK if you don't always wear a size 28... really, it is!
Check out the February issue of Cosmo to read more on Eva.

i like the idea of a jeans diet. if i still fit in my jeans, then i'm ok. if not, time for a workout and a diet.
1I kind of go by that too....I have pants that range in size depending on label, time of the month, and my weight.
2That's exactly what I do. I have two pairs of jeans that are my barometer. If they feel good, I'm happy. If they're starting to get snug, I'm on it!
3I agree, i do it to. When my clothes get to snug i back it up from the table a bit.
4that's a cute diet
5it works i guess, but im on a budget most of the time so when you have to buy one pair of jeans and make it last, its tough!
6I WISH I wore a size 28!
7I am loving this idea too! plus its totally personal instead of trying to fit my lifestlye into fad diets that just dont work!
8Yeah. I wear a 14, what would that be in those sizes? I am confused. Why all the different sizes ??
9A size 27 in jeans would be about a size 4 in clothing.
(24-25 size jeans is usually 0-2, 26-27 might be 2-4, 28 might be a size 6, and so forth....)
10^Oops, I forgot to mention that the sizes I listed above are American sizes.
11Sorry, and I think she looks great, but her HIPS actually fit in a 2, 4, or 6? That is amazing to me, because i thought you had to be thinner than that to wear that size.

Why don't you wear the face you have when I am not around?
What hips?

13cravinsugar: Yes, I'm guessing Eva is a size 4...which is a pretty accurate guess considering she says she's a 27-28 in jeans. I wear a size 2, sometimes 0, and my hips are only slightly smaller than hers.
14puddinpie you're a pro chef and you wear size 0-2?!?!? i am so jealous!
lol
15^Are you jealous of the fact that I have to work out 5 times a week just to keep from gaining weight from all the food I eat? I bet not!
16LOL! okay, when you put it like that!!
i only bake once a week and its already so hard to resist. tee hee i applaud your self-control! lol
anyway, its great to see that there are slim chefs around, v inspiring
17^ Oh...thanks! *blush*
18LOL!
19That's a novel idea, but I think everyone does that to a point.
20God, it's so good to hear about a celeb wearing a normal size, not a double-00.
She's so fab. Such an inspiration!
I tend to do the same thing I've got my tiny 27s and a pair of 29s as well. Cool to find out that celebs do the same!
21Cute concept and I heart the dress
22Wow. She's saying her heaviest days are size 29 days? Good grief. Is she 5 feet tall? I'm 5'8" and inbetween size 29 and 30 and that's a size 6. She in no way looks like she could be much smaller than me in the waist unless she's considerably shorter.
23^She actually is auctioning a pair of her old jeans for charity right now, and they're a size 26 Seven jeans. You can find them on Clothesoffourbacks.org I have no idea how tall she is, but she's been photographed standing next to other celebs and she doesn't look that short. She's probably around 5'5" or 5'6", I'm guessing.
24haha thats funny.. i do the same thing lol before i even read this.. stay between a 27 n 29.... which is good for me.. since i have HUGE hips well not HUGE.... but not tiny thats for sure...
25I love this girl.. she does always look beautiful... eveytime i have seen her she always looks healthy.. and never ever too skinnY!!!
This is a great idea, and Eva always looks sexy and healthy. Good to see a celebrity who's not starving herslef. I'm loving her too!
26She's only about 5'2". Seen her in person. Actors are some of the shortest people in America.
