Drew Barrymore says her husband makes it "impossible" for her to diet.
The 39-year-old actress, who gave birth to her second daughter, Frankie, in April, claims she hasn't regained her pre-pregnancy figure yet because art consultant Will Kopelman "is such a food."
The 'Blended' star said: "[He makes it] impossible to lose my baby weight because he's such an eater, and I love food, too, so this baby weight is going to stay on for a while. It's just not easy with him because he is such a foodie."
The couple, who got married in 2012 and also have daughter Olive, two, enjoy indulging at restaurants on a regular basis.
Drew told E! News: "Date night is always about trying a new restaurant or eating food on the couch [and] watching 'Top Chef' - which we did last night."
The actress, who has just launched three new fragrances for her cosmetics company, Flower Beauty, finds it difficult to make time to pamper herself and shared a photograph of herself painting her nails on the subway in New York City on Tuesday (04.11.14).
She said: "I love commuter beauty. I am always on the elevator, in my rearview mirror, on the subway doing my nails and my make up--you name it...There's just something about beauty on the move. Commuter beauty is a movement!"

Robert Downey Jr. and Susan Downey have named their newborn daughter Avri Roel Downey.
The 'Chef' star, who already has two-year-old son Exton with his producer wife of nine years, is besotted with their baby girl, who he joked has inherited "a variety of Susan's traits" instead of his own "junk DNA."
Writing on his Facebook page today (05.11.14), the 49-year-old actor shared: "Yep...Avri Roel Downey joined the party at 3:22 a.m. on November 4th...she's 7lbs even, spans 20 inches, and is accompanied by a variety of Susan's traits that have seemingly overwritten my 'junk DNA.'
"I'll post pics here and there when I'm not too busy staring..."
The 'Iron Man 3' star, who also has a 21-year-old son, Indio, from a previous marriage, admitted he can't stop taking pictures of Avri.
He wrote: "After 9 months of intensive development, Team Downey is pleased to announce our 2014 fall/winter project.
"Principal photography commenced 11-14 and will continue until she says, 'Dad! You are embarrassing me...I'm 30, this has gotta stop.' "
Robert previously confessed he was nervous about raising a daughter.
He said: "I've never had a daughter before, so I don't know what really prepares a dad. I'm asking around. But I did my part and now I'm just going to show up and do what I'm told."

Stevie Wonder is planning to name his unborn daughter Nia.
The 64-year-old singer and girlfriend Tomeeka Robyn Bracy, who were rumoured to be expecting triplets next year, have confirmed they will welcome one "wonderful" baby girl into the world in December.
Speaking on 'The View' today (05.11.14), the 'Superstition' hitmaker said: "The truth is we're going to have a wonderful daughter, (to be) born in December, name is going to be Nia, which is 'purpose.' "
Stevie also couldn't resist poking fun at the rumours, adding: "I got, how many, 22 kids?"
The legendary singer, who was married to Karen 'Kai' Millard Morris from 2001 until 2012 and Syreeta Wright from 1970 to 1972, already has eight children, ranging in age from one to 39, from five different relationships.
Stevie is said to have told friends he regrets not being present for some of his children when they were younger, but is now very close to all of them.
A source said: "Aisha [his oldest] enjoys her dad quite a bit, they get together and eat and joke.
"He's been helping [his son] Mumtaz with some of Mumtaz's music and he always talks about how talented his son is.
"He knows that being a father is a full-time job and now that he's a little older, he feels like he's up to the task and he doesn't want to let any of them down."

Channing Tatum has experimented with cocaine in the past.
The 'Foxcatcher' star, who has 17-month-old daughter Everly with wife Jenna Dewan-Tatum, admits he tried the drug "a couple times" after working as a stripper in Florida, but insists he's never had problems with substance abuse or alcoholism.
The 34-year-old star told The Hollywood Reporter: "I wouldn't say I was losing myself in drugs because I wasn't doing anything habitually. Just experimenting. Experimenting, I would say. Never the big ones - crack or heroin. I never OD'd or anything. Never."
Asked if he'd used cocaine, he said: "Maybe a couple times, but that was later.
"Drinking was probably the biggest [thing]. I didn't look at drinking as a problem. It wasn't at that point, and I still don't think it's a problem. But at that time in my life, it was, 'Let's go out and have a great time.' "
But the 'Magic Mike' star brushed off a comment he made during an interview earlier this year, when he called himself a "functioning alcoholic."
He said: "It was something said that wasn't meant to be factual. It was said in context with the glutton side of myself. I'm constantly a flip-and-flop of extremes. I take care of it, to an extent - and then I kind of knock it all down and destroy the sand castle. All I meant was that I do things in extreme."
Despite being one of Hollywood's hottest stars, Channing didn't make much money from stripping.
He said: "Not as much as you think. On a good night, 150 bucks. On a bad night, 70 bucks--even 50 at times."

Taylor Swift's role as New York's ambassador shouldn't be called into question because it is a "city of immigrants", the head of the tourist board has insisted.
Fred Dixon, NYC & Company president and chief executive, has hit back at critics who have blasted the decision to give the 24-year-old singer - who was born in Reading, Pennsylvania and raised in Nashville - the role because she is not from the Big Apple, but he insists she is incredibly passionate about the city.
He said: "Her passion for New York is very genuine and she wants to tell the world about it. New York is a city of immigrants, not many of us were born in New York - we've all followed our dreams there.
"We've done the traditional New Yorkers view of the city - this was an incredible opportunity for us to take one of the world's biggest pop stars and use her to talk to people about that dream of coming to NYC."
Fred admitted Taylor - who moved to New York City earlier this year - was a "money can't buy" option for the city because the 'Welcome to New York' hitmaker, who is not being paid, can easily promote the city by reaching out to her 46.2 million Twitter followers.
Speaking to Travel Trade Gazette (TTG), he added: "Taylor has one of the largest social media presences in the world, and she has a huge millennial following, which is very important to us.
"They can be difficult to reach in an authentic way, and she does that for us. It's something money just can't buy."
Taylor was named New York City's Global Welcome Ambassador last month and as part of the role she will see in 2015 by performing on TV show 'Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest', which will broadcast live from Times Square on ABC on New Year's Eve (31.12.14).
David Letterman recently questioned her motives after she was appointed into the role and several other residents have also followed suit.

Matthew McConaughey "became a man" after the death of his father.
The 'Interstellar' actor lost his beloved dad Jim in 1992 and says the tragedy had a profound effect on him.
Writing about one of 10 moments that helped shape the man he is today, he said: "A boy loses his father, he quickly becomes a man, I was 22. I remember clearly the sobriety I felt in the pain of my father passing. The sorrow refined me, and I never looked at the world the same again."
Elsewhere in the article, the 45-year-old hunk - who has children Levi, six, Vida, four, and Livingston, two, with wife Camila Alves - recalled his misguided decision to swap his trusty truck for a sports car when he was in high school - and quickly found the flashy motor "changed" his personality.
Titling the experience 'The Curse of the Red Sports Car', he wrote for People magazine: "My truck was informal, rugged, social, like me. But this 300ZX [sports car] was my dream car, or so I thought. And as soon as I got it, something changed. I started acting like my car. I became really concerned with my appearance, meticulous, self-conscious."
Just two months later, the 'Magic Mike' star sold the sports car and got his truck back and claimed he quickly returned to his usual self.

Charlie Hunnam gets "depressed" if he doesn't work out.
The 'Sons of Anarchy' actor thinks it is important to keep his body clean and not "corrupt" and is "addicted" to the chemical response he experiences when he exercises.
Speaking to the new issue of Men's Health magazine, he said: "I get more out of fitness mentally than I do physically. It's like an oil change.
"Your body is mostly water and it gets dirty, you know? You have to clear the dirty water otherwise it'll corrupt everything; your thoughts, emotional process and body.
"I get addicted to the endorphin release of working out - my whole physiology relies on that. If I get injured or I don't have time, I'll start to feel cloudy, then depressed."
The 34-year-old star admits he has been setting up as many projects as possible for when 'Sons of Anarchy' draws to a close because he wants to avoid "falling into a dark pit" of despair.
Discussing how he feels at the end of a project, he said: "There's a brutal reintroduction back into your regular life, which has been completely f**king neglected for six months.
'I imagine with 'Sons'...that's going to be exacerbated tenfold. I can feel weird and lost - I'm prone to it.
"I wanted to avoid falling into a dark pit of existential crisis this time, so over the last 18 months I've been setting up some projects.
"I felt working through the transition was the healthiest way to deal with it."

Daisy Lowe wants to go to university after she's had children.
The 25-year-old star insists she was always similar to 'Absolutely Fabulous' character Saffy - the geeky and sensible on-screen daughter of Jennifer Saunders' character Edina - when she was at school so she would love to take up education again when she has a family of her own.
The brunette beauty - who previously dated Matt Smith - said: "When I have kids, I'll go back to university. The university of life has been good for me.
"While my friends were at uni, I was still going out and having fun. I was really into school, a real Saffy."
The model - whose parents are Bush frontman Gavin Rossdale and fashion designer Pearl Lowe - admitted she was inspired to do well at school because actress Helena Bonham Carter went to the same education establishment as her and she was a massive fan of the 'Sweeney Todd' star.
She added: "Going to South Hampstead was really academic and you're really pushed to want to do things for yourself. I was quite happy to work really hard.
"Helena Bonham Carter had gone there and I love her. She's always been a massive idol of mine. I really loved sciences - that's what I got all my A*s in!"
Daisy insists she feels more "childlike" the older she gets but she has got slightly more mature since her days of living with actress Jaime Winstone when they had a whole room in their flat dedicated to dressing up clothing.
She said: "Everyone's always said I'm quite grown up for my age, but now I'm 25, I feel like I'm the age I'm supposed to be.
"The older I get, the more childlike I become, which is probably a good thing.
"When I was 21, I used to live with Jaime Winstone. She's hilarious and really talented.
"We had a fancy dress room, a creative room ... it was a whole year of fun!"
American Express has commissioned Daisy to lend her support to Small Business Saturday, an initiative encouraging people to shop in small independent businesses on Saturday December 6. Visit: amexshopsmall.co.uk.
