Standing at 5’7, the mother of three children remains slim and healthy by following a healthy lifestyle. Aside from opting nutritious meals most of the time, she also lives an active life, which includes regular workouts. Being in the acting industry, Ellen has always faced intrigue with regards her slender physique. There are reports suggesting that the actress is strict in her diet to the point of starving herself. However, Ellen insists she does not partake in such unhealthy ways. During her pregnancy though, the Grey’s Anatomy star was able to put on some weight.

She said in an interview:”I went up a pants size during my pregnancy. I was in size 25 jeans and went to 26. I gained 26 pounds. Now, after the baby, I weigh 10 pounds more than I ever have. I love it, because everyone always told me I was too skinny before, and I thought, Oh, God, what if there are 14-year-olds who think I’m not eating, and then they don’t eat? Do I have a responsibility? But really, I don’t care if people think I’m too skinny.” The actress also became more involved in fitness after giving birth. For toning her stomach after having her first baby, she utilized an intense core workout. She also worked with celebrity trainer Gregg Miele. She reportedly toned her abs with the use of stability ball and performed plank ups (planks and sit-ups) as well.
