^^^Sarah Jessica Parker at NY opening night for “Betrayed” on Feb 6th
Ever wonder how the lovely Sarah Jessica Parker stays so slim and trim? Well we may have our answer now… a fast metabolism!
During a recent interview in OK Magazine, Sarah mentioned that she is always hungry and that her metabolism just “marches through everything”.
Q: How Are You?
A: Forgive me for eating potato chips in front of you, but I’m hungry. I’m always hungry. My metabolism just marches through everything.
Try not to hate her too much!

I actually believe her when she says that because she’s been thin forever.
First!
I don’t know if I quite believe her… Yeh a lot of ppl have fantastic metabolisms (grrr!) but she is so so skinny/bony and we see her working out lots!
Who just randomly throws that comment out there? It makes it sound like either bragging or a lie.
“How are you?”
“Hungry” … yeah, that’s always my initial response too *rolls eyes*.
Eek! Look at those granny hands!
I hate these women that act like they have uber metabolisms and that’s why they are thin. If you look at earlier pictures of her, there is a “chubby Sara” phase when she was in her late teens/early 20’s.
Granny hands and feet…yuck!
Maybe she threw it out there because she was REALLY hungry. Is she supposed to have the same, dull “oh, i’m fine…” response? I think it’s funny.
I think I believe her…she’s always been pretty lean and muscular.
And we all know that muscle burns those cals…
Anyway. Don’t care enough to her hate.
._.
her hands and feet are awful
OMG - what’s up with the veins? Gross! And I’m sorry - but she is just *not* pretty. She’s a fabulous fashionista, yes - but pretty? Not so much.
I once read that she used to eat her salad without dressing! So she really is watching what she’s eating! I think she’s kind of constantly on a diet, no wonder she has cravings for potatoe chips…
OMG, she 42 or so. She is so skinny, it`s normal that her feet and hands look like this!
Liar!
Ugly liar.
it so hard to tell if they really have a fast metabolism or not she has muscle so its kind of hard to believe i think keri rusell is trying the truth though … ha even if she is naturally thin it really doesn’t matter in her case she was named the unsexiest women by maxim so yeah
I actually believe her. She is one of those like Keri Russell that just look naturally thin! She has always been thin her entire career. I like her a lot!
all those years of wearing high heels has really taken a toll on her feet. and her hands are terrible. how does that happen to someone when they arent in the 70’s because I sure as heck dont want that to happen to me.
i have never seen a woman so ugly…who cares if she is skinny? i’ll start caring once she gets a new face.
Her veiny-ass feet and hands are so GROSS!! Way to thin of skin prob. cuz of lack of nutrition.
Ugly??? I think she is gorgeous!
And some people are blessed with fast metabolisms– I’m not one of them but gosh, give her a break.
Her feet look creepy! I don’t watch much SJP but she seems to be at a pretty good weight, and she may always be hungry because she probably doesn’t eat much.
Yes, she did carry more weight (and muscle) when she was younger. It’s baloney that she eats a lot or has a rapid metabolism. She probably allows herself to eat whatever she wants but in teeny tiny amounts. She probably ate 4 chips. She says she doesn’t do anything to workout except walk around New York.
She is always hungry because she is constantly dieting. If you stay well fed, you are not “always hungry.”
What is the deal with the veiny hands and feet…. eww…..
Luvz the bod, but what’s with all the veins?
her feet are just nasty and she wouldn’t be hungry if she would actually eat. I agree with those that said she was not this “naturally thin” in the beginning of her career.
Good for her if it’s true she has a fast metabolism. I remember her being slightly bigger though in her younger years.
I agree with leah –it was probably 4 chips. You can graze like that all day and not eat very much.
However, I know someone who was on a photo shoot with SJP, and she said SJP refused to ingest anything all day. She wouldn’t even drink water.
well..them chips is nowhere seen on that thin body of hers.
oh this interview is SUCH a set up she deliberatly sed that to quash and e.d rumorz..
She needs a nosejob. Oh yeah and she should hide her feet and hands.
what is it with those feet?
ugly
her talent and fashion sense make her gorgeous and make up for her features that go against the norm. while it is somewhat phony to answer ‘hungry’ to such a question, who cares? she’s been this weight for years now, so if she had an e.d. she’d probably be a whole lot worse off than this. let’s stop confusing straight out anorexia/bulimia with women who take pride in looking thin and know that their clothes will come off with more appeal on a thin body. she in no way shape or form looks to be suffering and being a successful actress, business woman, wife and mother i sincerely doubt she has time to bother with a classified eating disorder, which in case anyone forgot, is something that takes over the mind and body and consumes all of a persons time. i highly doubt someone with multiple movies coming out is overcome by that disease.
Bollocks.
sorry, just don’t believe her. The fact that she made such a big deal of eating in front of the interviewer and giving her the quote makes me double suspicous.
I don’t know of any real women who get thinner and frailer as they head towards middle age and after having children - only celebrities !
She is always hungry because she never eats, she was probably eating a bag of chips because she hadn’t eaten anything else in the day.
so what, she has a skinny body & she eats all the time…look at her unattractive face…god giveth, god taketh away…
BLOOOOODY LIE
one can see she is working her ass off in the gym…poor girl
I love SJP. However, I’m noticing her age is finally starting to catch up with her..and as much as I admire her for not going the plastic surgery way, I think she needs softer hair (the slick back look isn’t working anymore) and fresher make-up.
Her body looks great. A little veiny, but not much you can do about that. She’s fabulous.
She looks really old…
wtf is up w/her veiny hands and feet!?
Yeah I’m sure that’s BS. She’s old and looks emaciated half the time.. she probably doesn’t eat.
Then eat more, because your body is starting to break down your facial muscles. I think I could pick her skull out of a skull lineup because I’m so used to looking at it bare.
Ew, kinda creepy, huh? First thing that came to my mind.
Those shoes would look MUCH better on my feet. She should give them to me.
I’m one of the few who believe her. My own mom eats 3X more than any woman I’ve ever seen in my life, and she was skinny (around 5′2 and 90 lbs)up until menopause a couple years ago. Now she’s a whoppin 105 lbs haha. I have another coworker who is 5′5 and 105lbs, and eats non-stop at work. Although SPJ’s metabolism may not be the norm for an American woman, it’s common for Asian women to be tiny to the point of looking skeletal, but with perfectly healthy appetites, and a decent amount of food!
“her talent and fashion sense make her gorgeous and make up for her features that go against the norm.” kayte thats is just a polite way of saying exactly what poops said%)
oh the fats metabolism crap…so all that exercising she does has no effect on on this supposedly fast metabolism? and the fact she was slightly chubbier when younger, where was the fast metabolism then?
LOOK AT THOOSE FEET! My god that’s the yukkiest I’ve ever seen
She’s got SUCH a sense of style - she’s such a fashionista. But… If you’ve got thoose ugly feet - don’t wear open shoes like that.
Yeah, I actually believe her. Remember how awkward and thin she was in stuff like Footloose…
UGH, look at her hands and feet.
Some people’s metabolisms slow down as they age, and they gain weight, but on the other hand I know plenty of people who lost their teenage (or college years) chub, and became very slim adults. I think there’s a lot of haters here, and they just have to face facts. SPJ is just one of those lucky ones!
omg she looks sooo ugly on that pic… those feet… eeuw
I call bullsh1t.
Why the heck would she care if we all thought she had an ed? As a journalist I know that an interviewer will not quote themselves - so I’m guessing the conversation went like this:
SJP - sorry for eating chips in front of you
Interviewer: It’s a surprising snack for someone your size - aren’t you worried you’ll gain weight?
sjp: metabolism bla bla bla
My point is she probably didn’t make a long bragging speech as some of you think, she merely started out by excusing herself for eating during the interview.
I belive her, I’ve always thought she was naturally slim. But well, she’s not the prettiest of women, is she!
yeah, whatever Sarah. I alwasus find it suspicious when women make a point of making a point of the fact that they eat. In my personal experience they usually have an eating disorder and are trying to deflect suspicion. Same thing when celebrities makes a point of eating burgers and fries or stuffing themselves in front of journalist while claiming they eat junk food like everyone else and or have a fast metalosim. They are just trying to deflect attention or suspicion from the fact that they have an eating disorder.
Of course she is.
Her feet are hideous o.O
Not much she can do about heredity folks. She’s very vascular, and being so thin there is not much fat padding her hands/feet. Give her a break.
I’d rather see veins than blubber any day. People arn’t use to seeing veins these days because it’s not the norm-everyone has adipose padding them. Most women as they age, if they remain lean will have veins, and some are more vascular than others.
she actually has a great body. In satc she has her tummy showing a lot and she’s so muscular. In the previews for the movie she looks great too. Lovee her
yes, breads. Because, after all, god forbid say something about someone in a “nice” way…
scary feet… scary nose… big fat liar..
Does anyone remember how she looked in “Girls Just Want to Have Fun?” She was slender but not as skinny as today. Also, she weighed significantly more in “Honeymoon in Vegas.” I think she lost the weight for the Sex & the City roll. As if her metabolism would speed up in her forties!
hey face DOES kinda look like a foot.
luckily in the words of Peter Griffin “her face looks like a foot!” so I don’t hate her TOO much despite being naturally skinny
You can’t just say veiny hands and feet show a lack of nutrition, or even old age. I’m 23 and a health freak..I have the veiniest hands and feet ever. My sister, mom, and grandma also have them. If I were to gain 100 lbs I’d probably still have them.For a lot of people its hereditary, and as much as you hate them there’s really nothing you can do
Angelina Jole and Madonna are cursed with same ulgy veiny feet and hands….
a horses face equals a horses metabolism.
WOW. I just looked her up on imdb. Did you all know she’s only 42? I think she looks MUCH older. I thought at least 48.
She’s not an attractive woman, but she seems genuine. I hated her character on Sex and the City, but in real life, she seems down-to-earth. I don’t think she “eats whatever she wants”. She looks like she works very hard for her body. Frankly, if I were a celebrity and worked so hard for my figure, I wouldn’t downplay it by lying and saying it was “all natural”. I’d want some f*cking credit!
About the vains… I read somewhere that she actually has a decease (can’t remember the name though) that makes her hands and feet look old prematurely. So please, stop being so hard on her because of this, there is nothing she can do about it. She said in the article that she considers herself lucky, because the decease could also “attack” the face, and make that look old…
I think she looks lovely, and very brave for not trying to hide her hands and feet. It’s always nice to see someone being proud of who they are!!!
pizza and beer once a week would be good for her.
“oh please do excuse me whilst i eat my anti anorexia rumour chips i’m always hungry because im on a constant diet like most women” and thats no crime to admit!
I love her but theres no need for this. Or maybe she’s tellin the truth and i’m bein a bitch not beliving her.
Veiny much? I don’ envy her, hell no
she isn’t beautiful but she has great sense of style,she’s always very cute and she’s always been this skinny…so I think she’s not a lier..
Those veins make me cringe.
women on perma diets always say they have a fast metabolism - “i can’t help it” and people stop asking them what they are doing to be skinny - i think she should gain some weight because it will make her less gross to look at and it might fill her pointy face out
I like her. I don’t think she looks odd either. She has character and personality and style which isn’t what you can say about a lot of people.
The woman’s consistently been a bag of bones for almost 20 years now. Maybe it is her metabolism. Plus the bag of chips is probably a small snack size one.
B!tch please. When she was younger she had a much softer look — yes, she has always been fit, but she used to look healthy and less horsey-faced. So, supposedly since she’s gotten older her metabolism has gotten faster? Ummm …. that’s not how it works.
I’m sure she’s always hungry because she doesn’t ever eat enough. DUH!
She’s naturally thin but I do believe she watches what she eats to make sure she stays slender. I remember reading awhile back that she counts WW points and she knows the points values for a lot of foods.
“My metabolism just burns through anything I eat”…yeah, like the Diet Coke and piece of sugar free gum she ate for lunch. She must have been absolutely stuffed after that feast. Good thing she’s got such a fast metabolism or she’d definitely gain some weight and have to go on a diet of HALF a stick of gum. Boy, I’d hate to see that happen. Can you tell I dislike this woman?
eek…looks like her metabolism has marched right through any subcutaneous fat deposits too. holy web of veins, batman.
EWWW veins on her feet.
The veins in her hands and feet are horrible and gross.
horsesh*t (pun intended)
Hate her or not…look at those disgusting feet! She’s got skinny grandma feet.
I dunno. I have a friend who is super thin and says the same thing. In reality she will eat a small bag of chips for lunch with a diet coke, that’s it. Coffee the rest of the day, maybe a donut with coffee later in the day. Crappy diet but not much going in calorie wise, just a bad choice of food.
She says the same crap all the time. In an interview she said she would grab a couple of burgers on the way home and then eat Indian food. I also remember she turned up to an event and exclaimed she came for the food, that’s she’s an ‘eater’ and that if you ask all her friends they will tell you she is an ‘eater’.
I don’t know if anyone has told her but most human beings tend to be eaters, or else they will die. The fact that she talks about food and metabolism all the time seems odd.
I agree with the people who’ve said her feet look absolutely terrible. It may not be one of the world’s great fashion items, but give this woman some popsox or tights!! At least then those years of tottering around in skyscraper heels (which are still not good for you even if Manolo makes them!) won’t look as if they’ve taken quite so much of a toll…
I completely agree…. when she was in that Halloween movie in the early ’90s (she played a witch- no prosthetic nose needed) she was definitly not naturally thin. I would KILL for her body during the “Sex in the City” days, but clearly she works for a body like that, and she should be proud of her work.
Everyone ages… don’t be so hard on her about that. She’s one of those celebs that is awesome on screen, but kinda a pill in real life, but you love them nonetheless. (Like Katherine Heigl, or Catherine zeta-Jones, Adriana Lima… gorgeous women… personality leaves something to be desired.)
It’s not normal to be hungry all the time unless you deprive yourself of food. If she truly is hungry all the time, then she is most likely not eating enough. duh. If you eat properly, not even having a fast metabolism will make you be hungry all the time. its an excuse.
she has been a size 0 for two decades…I totally believe that it is natural for her
she cannot help the veins in her hands & on her feet, but she could do something, like fat injections! If i had that condition & her money I would certainly look in to some cosmetic procedures
OMG, those feet. The hands aren’t as bad, but seriously, why doesn’t she do anything to fix that? If my feet looked like that I would never show them. GROSS.
i used to think she was ugly but not anymore. the more i watch sex and the city, she has grown on me. sometimes she still looks sorta gross, but sometimes she can look really pretty and cute. and i had no idea she was chubbier in her younger days, i thought she was naturally skinny…that sort of bums me out that shes full of it like the rest of them.
I like her. With her money she could easily have ‘the works’ and blend in with all the other plastic faced celebrities but has the confidence to be her natural self instead of some insipid Barbie doll.
