Drew Barrymore has revealed that she was inspired to lose 20lbs in weight by starring in Netflix hit Santa Clarita Diet.

The show – in which she stars as zombie housewife Sheila – saw her shedding the pounds as she admits she came to realise that ‘putting a little into yourself does make you feel a little more alive’.

Speaking on The Today Show she explained her philosophy by pointing out: ‘If a woman was really eating just protein and nothing else she would lose weight.

‘It gave me this intense responsibility that I said I want to fulfill to be Sheila and then there was like no excuses … It is called ‘Santa Clarita Diet’ but it is more than that for me.’

The actress went on: ‘It is doing her hair and putting on nails and accessorising. Sheila has reminded me in a way that sometimes putting a little into yourself does make you feel a little more alive.

‘Isn’t it ironic? … This is a smooth sailing ship, there is no drama. If I could have no drama in any area of my life, I will take it.’

Santa Clarita Diet season 2 is streaming on Netflix now.
