Sofia Vergara plays the famously sexy and funny Gloria Delgado-Pritchett on the hit show, Modern Family. She is also know for her curvy figure but like everyone else, she has to work to keep her body fit but also plans a diet that allows for her to maintain her curves. Wanna body like Sofia? Well, read on to learn some of her secrets to keeping her 38 year old body gorgeous and fit.

Like most of us, quality times with family and friends often includes food. She and her son love to cook meals together and she often meets her friends out for lunch. So, to keep from gaining weight, she says, “I have to control [what I eat] in my diet plan now especially when I’m getting ready for the Emmys. When I really want to be good and control myself, I have lollipops in my handbag — instead of having a tiramisu, I have a boring lollipop to stay true to my diet plan.” Also, Sofia does not eat red meat and sticks to an organic lifestyle. Vergara said, “Since I was used to eating organic in my diet plan back in Colombia, when I moved to Miami, the meat didn’t taste good to me, anyway, so I stopped including it in my diet plan. I’ve been off it for 16 years.”

As for exercise, Sofia is very honest about her feelings about it; She hates it and even said that the thought of doing fitness training exercises puts her in a bad mood. However, she understands that in her line of business, it is necessary, saying, “The truth is, you do fitness exercise program for health and you do look better. And I have a responsibility to the show. Nobody wants to see Gloria with a flat ass!” So, she found something she enjoys doing which also serves as a form of exercise – dancing to Latin music. It is a great form of cardio exercise. She and her trainer do dance fitness an hour a day, three times a week.
