Vanessa revealed to WebMD that she doesn’t deprive herself when it comes to food. “I enjoy food. I enjoy good wine. I enjoy good, hot, fresh bread if I'm in France, with a nice slab of ridiculously delicious butter. So, especially when I travel, I always try to eat what's local and what's good. I try not to overindulge, and if I do, I have enough discipline to get back on the routine to better health.”
