ALANIS MORISETTE FAT OR SKINNY! WHAT DO YOU THINK? CAUSE SHE'S EATING BEANS & NUTS TO LOOK LIKE THIS!

After a bad break-up, even a glowing star may need to wrap herself in a protective cocoon - by eating ice cream and doughnuts.
Alanis Morissette's body has emerged from food-inflicted hibernation and is ready to float like a butterfly once again, as she proved to the world out for a jog last week.

Now that the extra flesh isn't there to remind her of the mess left when ex Ryan Reynolds went away - and promptly married Scarlett Johansson - she is feeling better than ever.

Last week photographers snapped pictures of the platinum-selling singer as she sweated it out in the Brentwood neighborhood of Los Angeles on a steamy afternoon, and she looked radiant on the "Tonight" show with Conan O'Brien earlier this month.

In addition to light weights, biking, swimming, kickboxing and dancing, she is training for a marathon, the Daily Mail reports.

Morisette embarked on a new diet and exercise regime last September, and by the new year she had shed 20 pounds, she told OK! magazine at the time.

The 35-year-old says the vegan diet she adopted was more a matter of disease prevention than an effort to slim down - that part was an added bonus.

"I saw this book, Eat to Live, and I thought, that’s exactly what I want to do," she told OK! "I wasn't interested in some fad diet that was unsustainable, like 'lose 10 pounds in two weeks.' " I don't believe in diets; I think they're short-term and a bit of an emotional roller-coaster."

She now eats mostly fruit, vegetables, beans, and nuts and steers clear of dairy and meat.

Morissette says her period of letting herself go not just as a product of a broken heart.

"At 21, I was touring with 'Jagged Little Pill,' so I didn't experience the footloose and fancy-free passage that most people do in their teens and early 20s," she told OK! "My whole life I've been overly responsible. So I was fantastically indulgent for a good nine months. I knew it would be a temporary thing, and it was fun."

And while her current boyfriend, lawyer Tom Ballanco, is thrilled to see her at her best, she didn't drop pounds to please him.

"He thought I was sexy at whatever weight that I've been," Morissette told OK! "I've never felt loved in that way before."
