But none of them suggested she shed some pounds before. Plus, they didn’t bother her, telling her she should have undergone lip filler and Botox to binge the attractive appeal on the screen.

Perhaps, she was one of the side roles or an outsider whom they didn’t pressure to change her mien. Still, she trimmed down more of her 35 pounds and landed a major role in American Television.

“Maybe it was because I was too old, or I was in comedy. ‘Ah, just leave her, she’s beyond it.’ I think it’s because I was a little older, an outsider, and I was always up for the best friend [part], so I never felt pressured. I still don’t feel pressure to change what I look like….”

Opted vegetarian diets

Before she took a flight to Los Angeles, she turned vegetarian. All thanks to her mother, who inspired Ashley to go over plant-based diets.

So, she consumed a nutrient-dense and low-calorie diet, which automatically refers to no chance of gaining extra pounds. Also, it meant shedding down the surplus of weight that you had before.

All of a sudden, she was slim and trim while staying in the city of dreams- LA. After four years of creating a household name, Christina McKinney, in ‘Ugly Betty,’ left the show and returned to her hometown where she broke pescatarian rules.

She turned towards the non-vegetarian diets again. Though Ashley includes the meat-based diet, she still possesses a lean figure, likewise the ‘Ugly Betty’ days.
