She added, "I've been eating differently, eating way more vegetables, definitely eating directly out of my garden and just really putting in the work, making sure I sweat every single day and staying up on nutrition – nutrition is everything. And I try to dance every day for like five to ten minutes. I think that's really important, too: Make it fun!"

"I figured if I'm going to do a transformation, I'm going to challenge myself all the way around," Haddish said. "But let me tell you something: I miss the meat," she continues. "I want some brisket!"
