Jennifer Love-Hewitt has claimed that she regrets not spending more time naked during her youth.

The actress, 29, said that she wishes she hadn't been so critical of her physique when she was a teenager.

"I wish I had been nude from the time I was 12 until I was 28," she told Health magazine.

"I looked great! I so wish I had listened to my mom and grandma when I was 18 and would complain about some little tiny bump or feeling bloated.

"I used to scoff and say, 'No, I feel fat today!' Now the joke's on me."

She continued: "I want to tell all young girls to walk around in bikinis all summer, because there will be that one day in your twenties when you'll eat a hamburger and actually see the hamburger on the side of your leg."
