Balancing Diet for Indulgence

To accommodate her sweet cravings, Vergara follows a balanced diet at home, avoiding fattening foods like hamburgers and pizza. This allows her to indulge in her favourite treats. “I try to eat a balanced diet at home, and avoid fattening food such as hamburgers and pizza, just so I can eat sweets,” she explained.

Dulce de Leche Delight

When it comes to her go-to sweet treat, Vergara has a particular fondness for cake. “I mean any kind. But I do like dulce de leche, it’s like a caramel,” she said, adding, “Usually, they don’t do it that great here in L.A. I haven’t found anyone, but when I go to Miami or Latin America, they’re great.”
