Lea Michele is strict with herself!

Lea Michele has had to be own strict teacher to get her through the grueling Glee school days.

The 25-year-old actress says she’s had to cut out the junk food and embark on new fitness regime just to keep up with the demands of the hit show.

“I’m doing a lot of yoga, and doing some extra training as well as trying to eat really well,” says Michee. “Our hectic schedules mean I have to be strict with myself and make sure I get plenty of sleep too.”

Lea who became the subject of eating-disorder rumors when she suddenly looked very thin during the summer of 2010 recently insisted her weight loss was due to a surgery she had because of an infection in her jaw.

“I’m half Italian,” she said.

“I can eat some bitches under the table.”
