Kate Walsh isn't on extreme diet

Kate Walsh insists her sexy figure isn't the result of extreme dieting.

The Grey’s Anatomy star says she keeps trip by eating healthy.

“I think we’re all trying to eat healthier these days, and as a woman and an actress, I’m always concerned about eating right. But at the same time, you want it to taste good. I’m sort of notorious for having at least one potato chip a day. I don’t like to diet, that’s never worked for me. I like to eat right and in moderation, but give myself treats and kind of have everything,” Kate said.

“My very first job was a cashier at Burger King in Tucson, Arizona. And I occasionally worked the drive-thru. I’d go wherever I was needed! My second job was at Dairy Queen. I stayed in the fast food royalty. My friend’s dad owned a Dairy Queen in Tucson. That was during my sophomore summer of high school.”

Kate says she strives for a normal life despite the fame.

“I think you just have to work a little harder to create that when you have a job that’s a little odd,” she said. “But I also feel like my idea of what a ‘normal’ life was when I was growing up, is much different than what I think it is today. No matter what job you do, we all have a much different life than our parents had. My parents’ generation had one job and then they retired. Now, people have many different jobs. It’s a much more mobile world. It’s kind of exciting. I think you just have to have a strong sense of who you are and integrity to have that normalcy. It’s more of an internal thing –feeling happy and grounded.”
