Marisa’s Diet

From what we can find Marisa usually sticks to a healthy and sensible diet, but goes low carbohydrate just before an event or a role. Which was the case for the movie “The Wrestler” Marisa cut out pasta from her diet a month before she started filming.

Marisa’s Hula Workout

Marisa does cardio to stay in shape, and as of a few years ago, she also uses a hula hoop to stay slim. When Marisa was on the Ellen show she told her all about it.

“Someone gave me a hula hoop two years ago. It feels really good, and it’s really calming. I bring one to all sets now,” she says. “You’re waiting and you have all that extra energy and you want to stay focused and relaxed and something about that hoop – you do it and it calms you down. Honestly, it’s the best thing.”

Marisa on Stripping

“I pray a lot like, ‘Keep me skinny please”. “I’m concerned with how my body looks and I just find it really hard to watch myself. It’s very tough when you’re in different cities and different time zones. Often my schedule during filming just doesn’t give me time to work out.” Marisa calls the nudity in “The Wrestler” “appropriate” for the film.

  “I said to myself, ‘It’s now or never,’” Marisa says. “I admit I felt a little faint before I did it. I don’t think I’d eaten in like two days. The most embarrassing part is having your family watch it.”
