Vanessa Hudgens recounts diet problem during High School Musical

“High School Musical” sweetheart Vanessa Hudgen’s was once into such bad eating habits that she once had difficulties fitting into her costumes. She admits that back in 2007, her weight off the scales due to avoiding veggies and instead gorging on heaps of junk food.

The diet problem got so bad that Hudgen’s shares she had difficulties appearing in live series versions of the series. During an interview with US magazine Shape, she explains that she “was so unhealthy. I used to go to Cold Stone Creamery, get a tub of Butterfinger ice cream and east it all before bedtime.”

Hudgen adds that she “lived on [microwavable junk food] Hot Pockets and never touched vegetables; I needed to do something about my diet,” further explaining that her “fingers were permanently stained orange from Cheetos. I almost couldn’t get my costume on. When I finally got it zipped up my boobs were up to my chin!”
