How did Jessica Alba get her body back in shape after giving birth to daughter Honor Marie? Doing 400 crunches a day? Nope. Chomping on carrot sticks? Nope. Liposuction? Nope. Her secret? She wore a girdle! No kidding...
Alba tells the March issue of Elle:
Jessica's post-baby body secret:
"I wore a girdle. Eight weeks after my girlfriend had her baby, you could see her six-pack. She told me to put an elastic band around my waist - any kind of band or girdle works."
The 28-year-old actress said, "I didn't recover as fast as she did. I don't have a six-pack - that's just not my body at all." (Ya, Jessica looks bad, very bad. Ha).
New mom Jess says she did try working out to get in shape for a calendar shoot, but didn't stick with it.
"[The workouts] were horrible. I cried. And I haven't worked out since." Oh, she's another Alessandra Ambrosio I guess!
Jessica tells Elle about her childbirth experience:
"Contractions aren't that bad. If you've ever had bad cramps? That's what they're like. But that moment when they put the baby on your chest - that's deep. It's a deep experience."
Alba says she doesn't like being away from Honor and often cries if she is:
"This is the first time I've been away from her. It's been six days. It sucks; it's the worst thing ever. But we Skype, so I can see her on video. The worst is when you can see her little chubby hands grab the screen, and I'm not there."
She adds, "That's a new thing - I never cried before. Just being a mother is making me a big, weepy mess."
