"Eats clean, goes lean! Debra Messing has dropped 20 pounds without dieting, the star revealed in an interview with ABC News on Wednesday, April 23.\r\n&amp;quot;About two to three years ago, I made a very, very big change the way I approach nutrition,&amp;quot; 45-year-old Messing told ABC. &amp;quot;I think it made a big difference in how I look or at least how I&amp;apos;m perceived to look.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;I lost like 20 pounds,&amp;quot; the Will and Grace alum added. &amp;quot;It wasn&amp;apos;t my intention, that wasn&amp;apos;t why I made the change. I made the change because I was just tired all the time. For a long time, I just accepted that was the plight of a working, single mother. You&amp;apos;re juggling everyday.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nOnce a &amp;quot;crappy foods&amp;quot; consumer, Messing credits her weight-loss to proper nutrition. &amp;quot;I&amp;apos;m just eating really, really clean healthy foods,&amp;quot; she said. &amp;quot;Obviously I knew there was an association between what I ate and whether I gained 10 pounds or lost 10 pounds, but it never really became a reality for me that it shows on the outside in your hair and skin and even the clarity of your eyes. I was just stubborn.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nShe added in the interview that she kicks off her mornings with a green juice. &amp;quot;[That includes] kale and spinach and celery and ginger and lemon and cucumber,&amp;quot; she said. &amp;quot;At least I know I&amp;apos;m starting my day and getting a big shot of nutrients that I need. I start out strong.&amp;quot;\r\nLast seen on NBC&amp;apos;s Smash, the actress most recently filmed the pilot for NBC drama, The Mysteries of Laura. &amp;quot;I was shooting 15, 16, 17 hours everyday,&amp;quot; she told ABC of her role as a detective. &amp;quot;I really depended on having that juice once or twice a day. It really gave me more energy.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
