‘That shocks the body,’ said the cover girl who was recently at an Emilia Perez event with pal Zoe Saldana.
‘My body is not used to having a ton of carbs but it is hard to completely cut them out. So if I have carbs once a week my body does not get used to them and can process fast. If you have carbs every day, your body doesn’t process them as well.’
This comes after Blanca told DailyMail.com that she would never use the diabetes drug Ozempic for weight loss as she would rather ‘sweat it out at the gym’ instead of rely on the drug.
‘I know Ozempic does wonders for people suffering from Diabetes, it is like a miracle drug for some, but I would not use it for weight loss,’ said Blanca.
‘I don’t judge people who do that, I know it’s incredibly challenging to lose weight. It’s just not for me because I feel I can diet and exercise to stay at the weight I want.
‘But I also have to admit that I am lucky, my metabolism is pretty fast, so I have it easier than a lot of people. Everyone has to do what is right for them and just be healthy first and foremost.’
Staying in shape is important to the actress as she tells DailyMail.com she has learned a new way to work out.
She does strength training instead of intense cardio – and she does it at home as well as the gym.

‘As we get older, we lose muscle mᴀss; that’s called sarcopenia. So it is important to keep muscle mᴀss up,’ she told DailyMail.com.
Sarcopenia is a condition that causes a progressive loss of muscle mᴀss, strength, and quality in older adults.
‘When you maintain muscle mᴀss then you not only look better but you move better and your risk for injury is lower.’
She added: ‘So I have been focusing on mobility, strength, and stability. It is so easy to do, I keep free weights at home and at the gym I use the machines. It is a must for me now.’
She also lost 10lbs earlier this year by giving up meat and is instead eating fish and chicken.
‘I think it is has been really good for my waistline because my dresses are all loose now!’ she told DailyMail.com. ‘And I don’t miss the steaks which can be too heavy sometimes.’

This comes after she attended the LA premiere for the Oscar-buzzed film Emilia Perez.
Star Zoe Saldana told Blanco there was a lot of ‘excitement’ around the gritty film Emilia Perez – about a Mexican drug dealer who changes their gender – and she is thrilled about it, in a DailyMail.com exclusive.
‘The performances were excellent and so powerful performances,’ Blanca told DailyMail.com after seeing the movie. ‘And the film offers so much, it is really boundary-pushing.
‘Zoe is being talked about for an Oscar nomination and I can see why. She really does it all, sings, dances, and speaks in both English and Spanish.’
Blanca also posed with the main star of the film, Karla Sofía Gascón. ‘I love being a part of this amazing cast, I loved the experience,’ gushed Karla to Blanca. ‘These women are brilliant.’
