LOS ANGELES, Ca., Feb. 2 (TOTI) --

Ellen DeGeneres has changed to a vegan diet that is working wonders for her. She looks so good that even her wife Portia De Rossi is impressed.

“She looks amazing,” De Rossi told the New York Post. DeGeneres answered a few questions recently for US Magazine, specifically about her diet and the changes she's made to her lifestyle.

“We eat really clean,” she said in response to the question 'How has your diet changed?' “I stopped eating meat first, and when I stopped earting dairy – which was hard, because I loved cheese! - I lost the most weight. I eat a lot of vegetables.”

Most doctors recommend a vegetarian diet as an important way to lose weight and improve people's health. DeGeneres said she and Rossi also quit eating meat because of the cruelty to animals issue.

“I saw the cages in a disturbing documentary Earthlings, and could no longer participate,” she said. “We love animals.”
