Drew Barrymore Talks Gaining Baby Weight and Daughters Posing for Playboy (VIDEO)

Drew Barrymore loves food and isn't afraid to say it, loud and proud.

According to People magazine, the actress, who is currently pregnant with baby number 2 with husband Will Kopelman, revealed her past and present pregnancy cravings and how her current pregnancy is different from the first.

"The [craving] with Olive was tamales," Barrymore said. "Anything tamale. I love tamales. With this little lovely lady it's like pan-fried noodles from any Chinese restaurant. I drive by them and I fantasize about them. I find myself like pulling over a lot for food. Like the car just goes off the lane and over to the restaurant."

During an appearance on NBC's "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," Barrymore called her eating style unhealthy, currently eating anything she wants.

"Oh God. I mean, I just eat everything I want, which isn't healthy. I'm bigger this time than my first time," Barrymore told DeGeneres. "My doctor the other day was like, 'Yeah, so I think maybe pull back a little bit.' I was like, 'Really?'"

The 38-year-old "Charlie Angels" actress is expecting another girl later this year. Barrymore said she gained about 40 pounds during her first pregnancy and is expecting the same this time around.

"But I'm keeping it in check," she said. "I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be. I gain like about 40 pounds a pregnancy, which is totally fine."

Food is not the only thing on this mommy's mind.

The actress who posed for Playboy magazine when she was 19, told ABC News that she will not let her 15-month old daughter Olive do the same.

"I would not let her [pose for Playboy]," Barrymore said in a recent interview. "My life choices are not supposed to be the gateway to somebody else's. That's my journey...I celebrate that I had any sense of freedoms at a certain point, because I don't feel like that now. The best kind of parent you can be is to lead by example, and whatever I've experienced in my life is a part of my story and I'm proud of that."

Barrymore called motherhood the role of a lifetime.

"It's a ride," she said. "I'm tired, but it's the best ride I've ever been on in my life."
