Hollywood is filled with fantastical diet crazes, but Gossip Girl star Blake Lively has claimed that she is all about an active lifestyle and fresh ingredients.

Lively, who was recently spotted at JFK airport on Saturday drinking from a carton of water, opened up to A.J. Calloway from Extra TV (featured below).

"I like to cook," revealed the star, "I use a lot of fresh ingredients, which really does make a huge difference."

Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively Lead Low-Key Life?

In terms of working out, the actress maintained that she can't stand the gym. "I live a very active lifestyle....I don't go to the gym and I eat chocolate..." she admitted, "So what I do instead is I find other ways to be active." This included dancing in school and currently involves hiking and other outdoor activities. When it comes to her lifestyle, Lively said she is "very experience oriented."

While Lively does cook for husband Ryan Reynolds, The Proposal star has not always taken the same route as his wife. When altering his physique for The Green Lantern, he admitted to eating unpleasant combinations in order to build muscle.

Lively and Reynolds must be doing something right, because earlier this year they were selected as the first husband and wife couple to be the spokespeople for L'Oreal Paris. Lively had already been affiliated with the brand at the time of her husband's contract.

The two are also becoming known for their style, poise, and charisma on and off the camera.
