Anderson, a celeb trainer, is a favorite of Gwyneth Paltrow, Olivia Wilde and Nicole Richie.

And while Cox eats healthy most of the time, the former "Friends" star fessed up to a few indulgences.

"I do cheat, on occasion, with pasta or bread and butter," she said. "And I do eat a lot of cheese and nuts, which is probably not the best idea."

Cox also shared that getting older isn't always a bad thing. "Beauty over 40 is a slippery slope, but the life experience and knowledge we gain can make us sexier with age."

Cox's big cheat food is pasta or bread and butter. No Twinkies for her! What's your indulgence food? Tell us on Facebook.
