Rebel Wilson talks diet while promoting her app Fluid

Rebel Wilson was promoting her Fluid app on Thursday evening on the rooftop of the new Beverly Hills restaurant Funke with her pal Carly Steel by her side.

Guests sampled Casamigos and dined on pizza as well as pasta and artichokes as they were introduced to the app that has ‘no labels,’ as in there are not a lot of boxes to tick.

And during the event, Rebel talked to DailyMail.com exclusively about her busy life that she shares with her fiancée Ramona Agruma, who was also at the event.

Wilson said that she is trying her best to stay in shape but it is challenging as she has a new person in the house: a daughter named Royce whom she shares with Agruma.

Royce wakes up early and is an active child, which makes gym visits a challenge. ‘I did gain weight once I had my baby because although I didn’t give birth to her and I didn’t need to lose any baby weight I had just gained weight from the lack of sleep and from the change in my lifestyle,’ noted Wilson. ‘For instance now I can’t go to the gym as often as I used to I’m just not working out as much so that has slowed me down.’

But Rebel loves being a new mom and her happy home life. ‘Royce is a joy!’ she added.

She is very excited about her app Fluid that she started with close friend Carly. 

‘My dating up is really cool for people because you don’t have to tick a lot of boxes – you don’t have to describe what you like you can just be a regular human being and look for what you want in the world you don’t have to say if you want a man or a woman in your life you can just meet the right person,’ she said.

‘I used to date men and I looked for a man to be with and then I met Romana and I realized I liked her and she just happened to be a woman.

‘So the app does not limit people. Are you looking for love? That person you fall in love with could be a man or woman. 

‘So the app Fluid doesn’t have a label in the motto is no labels, and it’s done really well people have received it really nicely they like the message.’

The event was held on the rooftop of Funke, LA’s newest hotspot from famed Chef Evan Funke.

Guests were greeted with a custom Casamigos Ice luge and welcome margaritas featuring the newest Casamigos Cristalino.

Wilson, Steel, Rebel’s fiancée Romana, Bella Thorne, Vas J Morgan, Dave Osokow, Joshua Colley, Scott Evans, Jade Bender and more of her friends learned how to craft three Casamigos cocktails: Spicy Blood Orange Margaritas, Passionfruit Palomas and Summer Spritz in a mixology class.

The mixology featured Casamigos Cristalino to highlight Casamigos newest product. Following the mixology with Rebel, Casamigos hosted a private Cristalino tasting.

Rebel has become a poster girl for a celebrity who has turned her health around.

In the 2012 movie Pitch Perfect her character was given the unflattering name Fat Amy. But now – after losing 80lbs – she is a red carpet dynamo as she rocks designer gowns that make the most of her slender frame. 

The 43-year-old actress told DailyMail.com exclusively how she maintains her incredible figure.

Turns out, her meals have gotten smaller – though she does have cheat days – and she makes exercise at a gym a priority.

The road to good health has been full of surprises, she shared.

‘When I first started my diet I set a goal weight because I needed some kind of goal I needed something to work towards but once I started losing the weight I thought maybe I could do more?’ she shared with DailyMail.com

‘So I change my goal weight at first I wanted to just lose 75lbs and then I thought I can go further so it’s sort of tough. 

But she is always learning new ways to take care of her health. 

She recently went to a detox at VIVAMAYR in Austria for a week. 

‘I was just actually in a program where I learned about food and they taught us that you don’t really need as many calories as you think,’ shared Rebel.

‘Everyone thinks that you need to eat so much in your body needs it but the truth is your body doesn’t need a lot of calories and I know that might sound crazy to some people but if you eat right and you eat small portions you’ll be just fine,’ said the singer.

‘I learned that you really only need about 600 calories a day you don’t need 1,500 or 2,000.’ Rebel did not say if she followed the 600-a-day calorie plan. And she also clarified that consuming only 600 calories a day was for detox purposes and not intended for a daily routine.

She would also not advocate to anyone to eat as few as 600 calories a day, she said. 

Wilson says she understands it is hard to juggle a diet and real life. 

‘The problem is that people are stuck at a desk or in their car and they tend to get hungry and they want to eat because that’s how they deal with stress or it’s a habit but the truth is you just don’t need all those calories,’ she explained.

And Wilson revealed what her own flaw is: she is an emotional eater. 

‘That is my thing,’ she relayed.

‘Sometimes it’s hard for me because I’m an emotional eater that is my issue I eat when my emotions run high. I still struggle with that and I still work with that all the time it’s just a process, it’s a journey.’

And she cleared up the incorrect rumour that she skips carbs. 

‘A lot of people think that I don’t eat carbs but I do eat carbs I just eat them in small portions. I do eat pizza and I do eat pasta I just don’t eat a lot of it,’ she said.

Wilson also named her cheat food. 

‘My cheat food is ice cream – I really do love ice cream, and my favorite is Ben & Jerry’s it always has been it’s great quality and it’s so satisfying,’ said the star.

‘When I wasn’t watching my weight I would sit down and eat a pint of Ben & Jerry’s sometimes, it’s just what I did-  it was a habit – but now I’m much more careful I will have like a third of a pint and I’ll eat it slowly I won’t eat the whole pint at all that’s in my past.’

Though she has gained a small amount of weight from being a new mom, she still feels great but hopes to shed a bit by the hot months.

‘I am happy with the way I look now and I feel good about how far I have come but I would like to lose more so we’ll see it’s really hard with all the traveling I do – I was just in France, I’m always on a plane and when you’re always on a plane and traveling you eat more and work out less so there are challenges that come with being so busy,’ she noted.

But she is over the moon that her career is doing better than ever. 

‘I’m very grateful that I am working so much and everything is going so well,’ said Wilson.

Her career is on fire: Her upcoming films include The Deb, which she directs, Bride Hard, Verona and Rocking the Boat.

‘I do have a few lead roles in movies which makes me really happy I’m so thrilled to be working this much and getting such big parts. And I am directing a movie which is fun, The Deb,’ she said.

As far as her record label Rebellionaire, she is proud of it. 

‘I opened a record label because it just worked out with the film I directed it went hand-in-hand because the film has music in it and this way it’s on my label. I have a lot of good people around me guiding me so I think it’s gonna work out really well. And I’m going to be signing a few acts there are some Australian singers I’ll be working with that have a lot of potential and I’m thrilled about it,’ she noted.

But her main focus these days is her girl. 

‘I really love being a mother – our daughter has brought so much into our lives and Ramona is really happy,’ she said.

Her daughter wakes up early though.

‘This morning she woke up at about 5 o’clock in the morning so that’s an adjustment and of course we get tired. But she is so darling and we love being parents it’s just a thrill I feel very fortunate.’

And there may be another child in the cards. 

‘As far as having a second baby we would love that we’ll see how it goes you just never know,’ said rebel.

‘It’s a lot of work with one so I don’t know how it will be with another but people say that it’s good to have to cause they can keep each other company,’ she said.

‘I come from a family of four so I’m used to having a lot of people around I have three siblings and it’s wonderful so I do think that I would want my child to have a sibling. We’ll have to see what happens though you never know what turns life takes.’

She added LA is her home base. 

‘I spend most of my time in Los Angeles and I like it here it’s really different from Australia where there are more social programs for people but I really do enjoy America it has so much to offer.’
