Selena, her love for food, and weight

Selena had a body that many girls wanted to have. She had curves, a small waist, and was overall in a good shape. She was repeatedly asked what her diet and exercises secrets were and what she did to have a great body.

She would always reply with "Nothing, I don't do anything" or "Nada, yo no hago nada" in Spanish.

And it was true. Her husband confirmed on his book that Selena didn't like the gym and that she wasn't definitely one of those women who exercise all the time
She even said in a interview that she could never see herself exercising everyday!!
It was surprising to most people that she could be that fit by eating lots of fast food and never exercising.
However, Selena would say that was always dancing for concerts and practicing dance steps and admitted that dancing helped her to keep that slim figure. She had a pear-shaped body, with a very small waist and a big booty. Jennifer López, who played Selena in the 1997 movie Selena, has a very similar body shape which made her look even more like Selena for the movie role.

Selena ate what she liked and was never on a diet. She was a very big fan of junk food. She truly enjoyed it and didn't feel bad after eating it. Her favorite food was thin crust pizza with double pepperoni.She would always joke that she could eat a whole medium pizza by herself. She also liked tacos and burgers as well as Coca Cola, brand she collaborated with as a spokesperson. She liked the fast food places Pizza Hut, Whataburguer or Jack in the box. Her favorite restaurants were Olive Garden and Hi-Ho Restaurant, both in Corpus Christi, TX and Mi Tierra Restaurant in San Antonio, TX.

Selena was asked about her cooking abilities. (see first video below)

- Sabes cocinar? (Do you know how to cook?)

- Claro que si! mariscos, arroz con pollo que se sirve con fijolitos refritos...tambien hago tortillas pero no se como hacerlas bien...se ponen muy duras (Of course! Seafood, chicken with rice served with fried frijoles. I also do tortillas but I still dont know how to make them good...they become hard)

There is also a video of her and Carlos Ponce making French toasts in 1994 (see second video below). Carlos asked Selena several questions while they were cooking. The video was filmed for the TV show Control Show in 1994.
