Being a self-confessed foody, Salma Hayek isn’t a fan of doing diet and hasn’t shied away from expressing her love for great food and red wine. However, this hasn’t stopped her from keeping her health in check, as while in stressful moments, she often turns to food for comfort, after doing a juice cleanse, she is once again “motivated to eat healthier and not emotionally”.

As for her meals throughout the day, the actress’ breakfast includes a medley of berries, fruits, and vegetables, which might not sound tasty on paper, but per Hayek “it’s delicious”.
The Frida star also enjoys fat for lunch, which can include the likes of hearty, avocado, chicken sandwiches and tamales. For dinner, the actress often loves to add a Mexican flare to her food.
Everybody has a weakness and mine is food. If you love food and you love red wine and they put you in France, you’re in a good place and you’re in a bad place at the same time.
While her love for food ensures that she is “at the limit of chubbiness at all times”, Hayek shared that she also remains happy, which further adds to her glowing appearance.

The aforementioned foods aren’t the only things that the actress enjoys feasting on, as the Desperado star also has a knack for insects. Hayek has been open about enjoying a variety of bugs, and once detailed her experience eating them during an interview with David Letterman (via People).
She said:
These little ants fried are amazing with a little guacamole. And the worms, there are many different recipes for those. The little grasshoppers have a smoky flavor to them. It’s the way they cook them, and it’s really good… They’re delicatessen.
Interestingly, eating insects can be heavily beneficial, as they’re full of good nutrients, which may further explain Hayek’s incredible physique at 57.
