From high school bullies to navigating unrealistic Hollywood standards to losing baby weight, Mindy Kaling<\/strong><\/a> has been open about her health journey over the years.<\/p>\n

Many fans met the comedian through her character on The Office,<\/em> Kelly Kapoor, which debuted in 2005. In addition to recurring on screen, Kaling was in the writer\u2019s room. During a season 5 episode, Kelly went on a diet inspired by Beyonc\u00e9<\/strong><\/a> \u2014 replacing meals with a cleanse that consists of lemons, cayenne pepper, water and maple syrup.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe always think of a diet with a big groan,\u201d Kaling said of the story line on NPR in 2011. \u201cBut I think diets are fun. I think it is an American pastime for a lot of women. I don\u2019t know. I think that Kelly thinks of dieting as a fun hobby to have.\u201d<\/p>\n

That same year, the writer released her first book, Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?<\/em><\/a>\u00a0In the candid memoir, she wrote about creating a \u201cmakeshift diet formula\u201d in high school after a classmate told her she would \u201cbe really pretty if you lost weight.\u201d As a result, Kaling \u201cwould eat exactly half of what was put in front of me, and no dessert.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWithout exercising, I lost thirty pounds in about two months,\u201d she wrote. \u201cI remember waking up in the morning and looking down at my fingers and seeing they had shrunk overnight. Suddenly I was freezing all the time, like those skinny girls in movie theaters are always complaining about, and needed to sleep with an extra wool blanket. My face thinned out, and my belly went away. \u2026 I thought [my bully] Duante would finally leave me alone, but he didn\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n

The actress explained that she \u201cstayed at a pretty normal weight until college\u201d<\/a> when she gained 35 pounds during the first six months of her freshman year. She dropped the weight by introducing exercise into her life, but declared she would be \u201cchubby for life\u201d for four reasons: she has \u201cno hobbies except dieting,\u201d she has \u201cno discipline,\u201d men she\u2019s \u201cdated have been into me the way I am\u201d and she\u2019s \u201cpretty happy with the way I look, so long as I don\u2019t break a beach chair.\u201d<\/p>\n

As Kaling\u2019s star rose, she became known for fashion \u2014 both as her character on The Mindy Project<\/em> and on the red carpet<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf there was an awards show or I was shooting something, I used to be the person that was like, I have to stop eating these foods, or six weeks beforehand, I\u2019m only going to juice,\u201d Kaling admitted on Today<\/em> in May 2022, adding that she now opts not to restrict her diet, but eats in moderation<\/a>. \u201cI\u2019m never going to stop being a foodie. I\u2019m never going to be someone who can just have spinach and salmon every day. I just am really for the first time in my life, trying moderation, and I love it.\u201d<\/p>\n

The producer added that she no longer thinks of exercise as a punishment.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cSometimes I\u2019ll be like, \u2018Well, I have four different times today where I have 10 minutes so let\u2019s just walk instead of sitting down and checking Instagram,’\u201d she explained. \u201cSo instead of it being like one chunk of exercise in the beginning of the day or none at all, I\u2019m now just deciding that I\u2019m going to be a more active person all the time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kaling\u2019s new approach to wellness came after she navigated losing baby weight twice. She welcomed daughter Katherine in 2017 and son Spencer in 2020.<\/a><\/p>\n

The star wasn\u2019t afraid to take fashion risks as she navigated her own body image issues.<\/p>\n

“On TV, if you were really thin, then you could be the lead. Otherwise, you had to be like 250 pounds, and you had to be the slapstick comic relief,” she explained on Good Morning America<\/em> in 2021. “But what was crazy, what was left out, is just like this range of people which is a majority of American women over the age of 24. What if you’re like a [size] 12 and you want to just live your life and look cute and date?”<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

In her second book, Why Not Me?,<\/em> released in 2015, Kaling wrote about a 21-day juice cleanse ahead of a Mindy Project<\/em> scene in a whipped-cream bathing suit with James Franco.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cLike every heterosexual woman and gay man in the country, I think James is a very mysterious and sexy weirdo \u2026 I didn\u2019t want him to feel my bra-strap pudge on the set,\u201d she wrote.<\/p>\n

While she loved that she got to dress like \u201ca slutty teenage hitchhiker and it felt great,\u201d she spent her days laying \u201cin my bed, grinding my teeth, waiting for dawn to break.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Kaling welcomed her daughter in 2017, opting not to reveal any details about the father of her kids.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter I had my daughter I had to shoot a movie, like, two months later, so I was very much like, \u2018Just give me grilled salmon and saut\u00e9ed spinach.

\u201cI feel like in conversations about fitness and exercise, if you\u2019re going to be talking about someone who\u2019s healthy and fit, you have to be a hard body with, like, a six-pack. But that\u2019s not really how it works, and I have learned to embrace [my body] in the past six months [since having a baby],\u201d she noted to Shape<\/em> three months earlier.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
