So often, the celebrity stories that get the most press focus on fad diets, lose-weight-quick schemes and who’s recently packed on the pounds. But for 44-year-old actress Lisa Edelstein who plays the sexy, confident Dr. Cuddy in Fox’s “House,” keeping her body healthy through a vegetarian diet and practicing yoga has been a lifelong commitment, not just a quick fix during her time in the limelight.

“I think in the developed world, we eat addictively, and it’s hard to find a healthy relationship with food,” Edelstein said in Prevention’s June issue, on sale May 4. “We have emotional attachments to food from childhood. And it’s a mistake when people go on diets — they’re waiting for it to end. You have to find a way to have a relationship.”

With childhood obesity in the U.S. at an all-time high, we tend to think Edelstein is right on about most people’s relationship with food. For her part, the actress became a vegetarian at the age of 15 and hasn’t looked back. “I was never a big meat eater — I was always picky,” she told Prevention. Being raised in a kosher home also had something to do with it, since, she said, “if you’re raised with a food restriction, it’s not that difficult to have another kind of food restriction.”

At some point, Edelstein recalls dreaming that she was eating chicken, “But in the dream, I understood that it was actually miniature human legs and arms. My brain was connecting muscle and bone to another animal. Once I had made that connection, it just wasn’t something I wanted to eat.”

The actress loves vegetables, with favorites including broccoli, kale, carrots, Brussels sprouts, string beans, sugar snaps, hearts of romaine and avocado. “I love to cook! One of my favorite things to make is lemongrass soup. It’s wonderful, like vegetarian chicken soup — really good when you don’t feel well.”

In spite of her health-conscious eating habits from a young age, Edelstein still experienced a shock when she hit puberty later in her teen years. “When I was 19, I went from a size zero to a size 10 in six months,” Edelstein told Prevention. “My boobs and my butt grew 3 1⁄2 sizes. Suddenly, I was this voluptuous woman, and I had no idea what to do with my body. I hated it. Eating was so much fun until then…. (Now) you sort of have to learn how not to eat potato chips.”

To counter her drastically-changing body, the actress has always been active, and has been “doing Mysore [mahy-sawr] style Ashtanga yoga for 14 years. I like it because it’s a self-practice-everyone’s doing the practice they’ve learned. The teacher only gives you another pose because you’re ready for it.”

SPOILERS FOR SEASON 6 FINALE!

Now that “House” fans know that the will-they-won’t-they relationship between cranky Gregory House (Hugh Laurie) and his long-suffering boss Lisa Cuddy (Lisa Edelstein) is destined to happen, the only question left is when that hook-up will go down.

Unfortunately for “Huddy” fans, it won’t be anytime this season — but they’ll get one step closer.

During the final three episodes, Cuddy is going to be asking herself whether her fledgling relationship with private eye Lucas Douglas (Michael Weston) is really going to work out.

“It is going to be addressed by the end of the season whether or not she thinks she can [stay with Lucas],” series executive producer Katie Jacobs told EW.com.

While fans wait for Cuddy’s decision, House will have his hands full with therapy sessions featuring his rehab doc, Dr. Nolan (Andre Braugher). There’s also a big cliffhanger mystery that may or may not involve fellows Thirteen (Olivia Wilde) and Taub (Peter Jacobson).

“In the final episode there’s an unanswered question with one of our actors and it’s a mystery that will play out over next season,” Jacobs hinted.

Can you imagine yourself working, in real life, with someone like Dr. House?
Yes, I’d love to. He has a great personality and he is brilliant. It’d be inspiring.

Are you talking to your doctor in a different way because of the show?
No, although I think that now doctors talk to me in a different way. [Laughs.]

After six years of playing Dr. Cuddy, are you glued to the character?
I don’t know… There will be a day, some years from now, I’ll think about that. The best thing about playing a character for so long is that you interiorize faster each one of the scripts and the way the character deals with the others.

Why the show is a success?
I think it’s pretty much related to Hugh [Laurie, the actor who plays House] and the writers talent. All this people that is afraid to die and, when you see a man saving lives at the last breath, it’s thrilling.

Some of House’s jokes are about your breast. Have you talked with the writers about it? Have you had enough?
No, I love it. My breasts and my ass should be on the credits of the show as guest stars and they should even have their own salary. [Laughs.]

What the good is in act?
This one is tough. [Stop]. Acting with good arguments and gifted actors is very stimulating. I love what I do because there is a change every now and then. Sometimes, I admit, it’s boring but, most of the time, it’s fantastic.

Why is it boring?
Shooting only one scene can take three to ten hours.

There are tribute videos at YouTube with songs like ‘Sweet Child of Mine’ or ‘Crazy for This Girl’ that goes with pictures of you. What do you think of it?
Really? I didn’t know, I have to see it. But I’m surprised that people have time to do those things!
