Actress Julia Roberts dismissed fad diets and strict fitness programmes as reasons behind her fitness.

Actress Julia Roberts has dismissed fad diets and strict fitness programmes and credits her genes for keeping her thin.

The "Pretty Woman" star manages to stay healthy by working out once in a while. The 40-year-old is grateful for her genes for her slimness.

Contactmusic.com quoted her as saying: "I have been working out, but listen, it is 97 per cent genetics. Don't let anybody tell you any crap about anything else, because that's what it is - 97 per cent genetics and three per cent just get your ass moving. Because I've never met a cookie I didn't like."
