She Eats Until She's Full

Dobrev tells Women's Health that she isn't about starving herself or limiting her portions. In fact, she actually says that she eats more than people think, and that this helps her body a lot. "I feel healthier. You're happier when your body is full," she explains. "Your brain functions better, and you're a nicer person. I would get hangry, I think, because I was so busy running around that I wasn't the best version of myself."

She's More Conscious About Her Wellness

Dobrev says to Women's Health that she is a lot more conscious about what she eats and what she does to workout than she previously was. "I'm getting older and more conscious of what I eat and how I eat it and what I do," she says.
