'Along Came Polly' star Debra Messing, who has switched to a healthy diet, misses eating junk food.

The 45-year-old actress, who has lost 20 pounds, wishes she could live on burgers and fries, reported People magazine.

"I miss everything... Burgers, fries and pizzas. Literally if I could, I would subsist on all of that," the actress said.

The former 'Will & Grace' star, who is working on a new NBC show titled 'The Mysteries of Laura', says that her new job is helping her to avoid the lure of junk food.

"Unfortunately, working 17 hours a day, you can't subsist (on that) and be a good employee," she said, adding, she has fond memories of the food she had to give up.
 

The actress now focuses on eating well. Her new diet includes, a green shake in the morning that contains kale, spinach, celery and cucumber.

"It's really just about trying to stay disciplined, which has been a problem for me in the past, but so far so good," she said.

Messing, who has a 10-year-old son said she does not exercise regularly, but maintaining her "clean" diet has given her more energy.
