On her home gym: “It mostly dries my clothes,” the actress, 34, admits to PEOPLE, “but that’s where I work out.”

On her indulgences: “I have my once-a-month nachos,” she says, “but it’s soy cheese and turkey chili on it, so it’s somewhat safe. But it’s still a big vice for me, because I have a big bowl of it. And when I travel,” she says, “I like to take advantage of room service. I’m really into eggs Benedict in the morning.”

On staying in shape from healthy lifestyle and Weight Watchers: “I’m still on the Weight Watchers kind of thing, so I just kind of remembered and started counting my points again throughout the day,” she says. “Fruits are zero points, vegetables are zero points, so I make sure I use that to bulk up, and then make sure I have my protein. I usually have my protein at lunch and my carbs at night – I don’t mix protein and carbs.”

On the Hollywood eating disorder epidemic: “You’re always gonna have your anorexics and you’re always gonna have your bulimics,” she said. “I’m hoping that young girls will look up to the girls that are the size 4, 6, and 8’s, and know that super super skinny is not pretty – just ask any guy! Ask the guy, ‘Do you think that skin and bones running on the beach is attractive?’ They’ll say, ‘Hell no!’ “

When I read the ending the visual that popped into my head was Nicole Richie’s infamous picture of her running on the beach looking like a literal bag of bones. I liked this interview and I like Jenny McCarthy. I think she’s funny, beautiful and very down-to-earth.

Jenny McCarthy was spotted on the beach, recently, looking great! She is a spokeswoman for Weight Watchers, which helped her lose about 40-50 lbs. after gaining about 70 during her pregnancy with her little boy Evan. 

Anyway, good for her! She looks fabulous and happy, especially since she’s been with her new love Jim Carey.

Actress/model Jenny McCarthey has opened up about her four-year old son Evan’s autism after revealing she’s planning to release a new book all about dealing with the developmental disability.

The former Playboy pin-up has revealed her son is “hypersensitive to air and water” on her website IndigoMoms.com and she’s determined to help educate parents and teachers about autism. She says, “I want our children to start each day in silent meditation. I want organic cafeterias, outdoor class sessions… I want it all.”

McCarthy, 34, will reveal all about her own struggles with her son’s autism in new book Louder Than Words: A Mother’s Journey In Healing Autism. She tells In Touch magazine, “It’s a heartbreaking story about a serious health issue.”
