Ugly Betty star America Ferrera is anything but ugly, but admits to trying just about every diet ever invented in an attempt to lose weight. The 22-year-old star revealed to In Touch magazine that since she began her role as Betty she has quit trying fad diets and now loves her curvaceous figure.

America said she eats healthy, runs and practices yoga to maintain her weight. The stress of starring in a hit television show also helps to keep the pounds off. Nutritionists and weight loss experts certainly wouldn't recommend the "stress diet" for weight loss, and in fact stress causes most people to gain weight. America has to be commended, however, for flaunting her curves and making women aware that you do not need to be a stick figure to be a successful celebrity.
