Kate Beckinsale refuses to give up desserts just to stay thin.

"I'm not aiming to be Gisele," she reveals in the December issue of British Elle.
"I'm entirely normal. I have my good days and my bad days... but if someone turns up with cupcakes, I'll have one... I'd hate to be one of those people who won't allow themselves a slice of birthday cake," she says.
She admits that she's in better shape now than she was in her 20s. Beckinsale says that she "didn't have a clue" about healthy eating. "I'd eat a small breakfast and lunch and then have a baked potato for dinner and feel really horrible."
