Celebrity Moms’ Diet and Work Out Routines For Post-Baby Slim Downs

As a mom, it can’t be helped that having a baby causes the number on the scale to go up as high as 35 pounds. Needless to say, most moms, celebrities and non-celebrities alike, cope by balancing a healthy diet. Another popular method is working out as soon as the baby is born. This method sheds the weight gained during pregnancy and promotes a healthier lifestyle and body. In working out, the need to hire personal trainers arises, and celebrities often make an investment of $15,000 a month as a starting sum. Some examples are Busy Philipps, Chrissy Teigen, and Serena Williams, who are known for seemingly hitting the red carpet or runway as soon as their children are born.

We’ll be giving insight on how these super-moms handle this feat, as well as their thoughts concerning it. From more than recognizable stars such as Rom-Com Queen Reese Witherspoon to Pop Superstar Beyonce, here are all the celebrity moms whose post-baby slim downs will surprise you!

Christina Aguilera

Pop culture diva Christina Aguilera is the recipient of multiple accolades, including five Grammy awards and a Latin Grammy award. The singer started to gain fame when she earned credits in the 1989 reboot of Disney’s The All-New Mickey Mouse Club as part of the main cast.

Amassing a whopping $160 million in net worth since then, the Burlesque star has been one of the most notable figures in the industry since childhood. A mother of two, she has an eleven-year-old son named Max, whom she shares with her ex Jordan Bratman, and a five-year-old daughter named Summer, whom she shares with fiancé Matthew Rutler. The 40-year-old singer has been candid about the challenges of maintaining her health and body since becoming a mother, and she attributes her slim figure to regular yoga, remaining stress-free, and sticking to a diet schedule.

Jessica Simpson

Born on the 10th of July 1980, Texas native Jessica Simpson is destined to become a successful singer and actress whose net worth is now a massive $200 million. The actress had humble beginnings, starting as a church choir member. She later auditioned for the 1989 reboot of Disney’s The All-New Mickey Mouse Club.

In 2002, the singer married the 98 Degrees member and longtime boyfriend, Nick Lachey. Sadly, they went on separate ways after four years of their union. Simpson then started dating NFL player Eric Johnson in 2010, and the two confirmed their engagement the following year. She announced that she was pregnant in late 2011. Though pregnancy could slow down many expectant mothers, it provided Simpson with new business opportunities. She signed a contract with Weight Watchers to promote their brand by losing weight after her baby was born and even started a maternity line.

She rose to fame in 1982 after starring as Gertie in Steven Spielberg’s hit E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial, for which she would be most known.

The actress has been on the big screen for decades, but she admits that remaining in shape for all those movies, TV shows, and red carpet appearances takes too much effort. She has spoken about how difficult it is for her to retain her ideal weight, especially after having two daughters.

She is also known for her portrayal of Laurie Keller on the ABC series Cougar Town, for which she won a Critics’ Choice Television Award.

The 41-year-old actress also works out daily, ever since she was first asked to shed some weight for a role. The actress started when she was forced to drop weight for one of her film jobs in the early 2000s. Although she was opposed to the idea, she went to celebrity trainer Gunnar Peterson anyway. Peterson exposed her to high-intensity training. Phillips is well aware of the effect her relationship with her body can have on her children while also using fitness as an investment in keeping herself focused and grounded.

The actress used to advocate for low-carb dieting and was obsessed with keeping a “model weight,” but that has changed in recent years. Teigen has prioritized her love for cooking, especially cooking for her family— somewhat disregarding her past as a model who prioritized strict dieting and achieving a certain weight. She told People magazine that it’s more important for her to put mind and spirit over body and “to enjoy things as they come.”

Williams is married to the entrepreneur and co-founder of Reddit, Alexis Ohanian, with whom she shares daughter, Alexis. The athlete once said that she expected to lose weight while breastfeeding her daughter Olympia, but she remained the same weight despite adopting a sugar-free, vegan diet.

Mariska Hargitay

Mariska Hargitay is one of the celebrity moms many look up to when it comes to losing weight immediately. In 2006, she welcomed her first child August with her husband, Peter Hermann.

Hargitay’s pregnancy did not come in a swift. She had gestational diabetes, which was also the reason why she had an emergency-section delivery. Despite facing several challenges in pregnancy and giving birth, Hargitay delivered her healthy baby safely. The actress’ condition also pushed her to lose weight immediately. She lost over 54 lbs in such a short period which left many amazed. In an interview, she said that she ate healthy food to lose weight. Hargitay did not spend a dime or have cash loans to lose weight but just munched on more fruits and vegetables after her pregnancy which explained how she got thin in no time.

Ciara’s dedication to her work as a singer and dancer is much evident in her commitment to losing weight just a few months after giving birth to her third baby.

Ciara seeks the help of celebrity trainer Decker Davis who has been with her in her fitness journey.

In an Instagram post, Rowland told her 10 million fans that she is ready to go back to rigid training and gym workout as her doctor gave her the approval to shed her post-baby weight. However, with her snap showing off her body, it seemed like Rowland need not go back to the gym as she already reached a degree of fitness just like her pre-baby body.

Kelly Clarkson

Kelly Clarkson has maintained a degree of high-flying career as a singer. While reveling in her start status, Clarkson is not an exception to people’s scrutiny about her weight throughout these years. Many call out the changes in her weight, especially when she gave birth. It also did not help that she has a thyroid disease, which is actually one of the biggest factors of her weight gain.

Despite this, Clarkson is not someone to back down and sulk on people’s hate comments on her weight. Instead, she proved to them that she could also don a svelte frame with the proper process. She went all organic in her food, without GMOs and pesticides that give unhealthy substances to the body. She did not subscribe to rigid workouts or strict meal plans but only to healthy eating with the aid of the book The Plant Paradox.

Just like a lot of women, Kunis also had her personal post-pregnancy challenges. The tremendous shift in her body after giving birth made it hard for her to get her old body back.

According to her Instagram, she weighed around 120 pounds when she checked her weight on a scale. According to her, her weight loss is attributed to an organic, dairy-free, keto diet and box jumping as her workout exercise. Sometimes, she treats herself to some sweets and junk food while still maintaining her diet.

Alicia Keys

When it comes to regaining post-baby weight, Alicia Keys certainly has a number of tricks up her sleeve. She stunned quite a lot of people just months after the birth of her sons, Genesis and Egypt.

In her case, she was able to drop 30 pounds around 10 days after giving birth, but the remaining 20 pounds proved to be quite a challenge. The actress’ mindset when it comes to post-pregnancy weight loss is quite refreshing, however. She took her time with getting back her pre-baby body and reminded women to be more forgiving of themselves, especially of the “imperfections” that may arise during the process.
To her credit, Heigl also made sure to take care of herself properly while dieting. She exercised three days a week and opted for less rigorous activities such as long hikes and yoga.

Needless to say, it is understandable why she found adding a workout routine into her daily schedule quite tedious.
Aside from regular exercise, she included a five-factor diet into her lifestyle. This means eating five small meals each day and having one cheat day per week. It’s great for money management, too, because you won’t end up buying unnecessary food that might end up going to waste!

Olivia Wilde

“The truth is, I’m a mother and I look like one.” That’s real talk coming from actress Olivia Wilde when she was asked about bouncing back after giving birth. She is also first to admit her love for junk food such as pizza and beer! As for her exercise routine, is a well-known fact that the actress does plenty of SoulCycling. Wilde has said that the best way to get her body moving is by stretching, so she also takes dance lessons. You can achieve the same without leaving the comfort of your home through online classes!
However, despite the fact that she does of physical activities, Wilde does remind other mothers to avoid reaching for perfection. Instead, she does exercise to build her strength as well as for the benefits it has when it comes to her mental health. Needless to say, that’s great advice coming from someone who knows exactly what they’re talking about.

Jennifer Hudson

Jennifer Hudson, the ebony songstress, has proven to the world that if women put their minds to it, they can achieve anything. She lost an incredible 80 pounds after her pregnancy, and it wasn’t due to any crash diets. Instead, she tells ladies who want to lose weight, “It’s not a diet; it’s a lifestyle change.”
Hudson, like many other women, had to deal with a difficult personal loss. This determined woman overcame all odds to become a finalist on American Idol, win an Oscar, a Golden Globe, a BAFTA, two Grammys, and begin living a healthy lifestyle for her young boy. She credits her weight loss to Weight Watchers programs, a disciplined lifestyle, and self-motivation. Many experts feel that you don’t need to count calories to lose weight; all you have to do is adjust your lifestyle and eliminate all the meals and activities that contribute to weight gain.

Jordin Sparks

Jordin Sparks and husband Dana Isaiah welcomed their first child, DJ, on May 2. Due to her slender appearance a little over a month later, you’d never guess the 28-year-old had recently become a mother. When questioned about the secret to her post-baby figure, the actress and singer walked out to the Ladylike Scholarship Luncheon in Beverly Hills on Saturday, June 2. She told Us Weekly that all the credit for her post-baby figure belongs to her baby.
Sparks said that breastfeeding her son was helping her drop the weight. She added that she hadn’t been to a gym in years. While walking the red carpet a month after giving birth is impressive in and of itself, Sparks astonished everyone when she attended her first event three days after DJ was born. To be fair, it was the premiere of her movie Show Dogs.

Khloe Kardashian

Khloe Kardashian is offering weight-loss and workout advice. The Revenge Body host came on Kourtney Kardashian’s Poosh live stream, where they discussed health and wellbeing. When a fan inquired about how much attention she places on nutrition versus exercise when attempting to lose weight, Kardashian, 35, opened up about losing weight following the birth of her and Tristan Thompson’s baby, True, in 2018.

Kardashian said she lost almost 60 pounds after the birth of her daughter. She added that exercise and diet go hand-in-hand in any weight loss journey. The reality star stressed that eating whatever she wants does not imply that she is unhealthy. It also means that she credits the advantages and disadvantages of high-calorie menu items. Kourtney agreed, saying that she’ll diet to lose weight before coming to Italy or somewhere else where she knows she’ll be able to eat anything she wants.

Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi

Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi looks excellent as a mother. After the birth of her first kid, Lorenzo, in 2012, the former Jersey Shore star was a weight-loss machine. Less than a year after giving birth to Giovanna, her quick weight loss was just as effective the second time around. However, the mother of two insists it’s not about looking better than before; it’s about setting a good example for her children.

The mother of two spoke with People about her health and fitness routines, as well as her making investments in a strict training program, clean eating plan, and daily indulgence. There are no shortcuts, as you may have guessed! Polizzi works out at least four times a week with her trainer, Anthony Michael, for 45-minute to hour-long sessions. In addition, she is cutting carbs from her diet and packing pre-packaged meals with lean protein and vegetables with the help of her trainer and his customizable meal system Anthony Michael Fit Food. Polizzi appreciates the hearty meals that will help her tone up, although she will be saying goodbye to whole-wheat pasta and bread for the foreseeable future.

Sara Rue

Sara Rue’s weight-loss journey has been a success. She lost a considerable amount of weight, over 50 pounds to be exact! She even had a bikini photoshoot to show it off! The actress has kept it off with exercise and healthy food for the past five years. Fortunately, she also became a mother at that time, so she now has the added responsibility of parenting a daughter. Nevertheless, her story inspired many people, and she even hosted a show called Shedding for the Wedding, in which obese couples competed to reduce the most weight and win prizes.

Rue opted to keep track of what she was eating rather than following a rigorous diet. She believes that eating without thinking causes weight gain because you consume a lot of junk food. Rue enjoys her plant-based diet, which may not be suitable for everyone. While animal protein is an excellent source of protein for building lean muscle, animal fat can increase body fat percentage to a significant degree.

Carrie Underwood

Carrie Underwood’s second pregnancy was unlike her first in every way. To begin with, the journey there was everything but simple. It’s all too tempting to get carried away when it comes to losing baby weight and attempting to get back to your pre-baby self and only focus on aesthetic achievements. In truth, postpartum fitness is likely to be quite different from what most mothers expect.

However, the fact that you’re able to set out time for yourself to exercise or simply practice self-care is something to be pleased with. It’s okay if your strength isn’t what it previously was. Even if exercise has to take a backseat with a new baby in the family, that’s fine, too. Strength isn’t always determined by how much weight you can lift, how many reps you can do, or even how often you can go to the gym each week. Sometimes strength entails the ability to meet oneself exactly where you are—or, as Underwood put it, “follow the course,” no matter where that route may lead. Underwood deserves credit for being a role model to other mothers out there!

Kylie Jenner

Kylie Jenner’s figure appeared to have snapped back to its curvy form just five months after giving birth to her first baby, Stormi. Like her fitness-obsessed siblings before her, she has been working off her postpartum weight swiftly but quietly. Jenner has been all too eager to display her newly-found postpartum form, with logo-emblazoned bodycon dresses and midriff-baring blouses. Jenner was only 21 years old at the time (she’s now 23), so youth-driven adolescent metabolism undoubtedly had a factor.

She lived by the ‘treat yourself’ slogan throughout her pregnancy, openly admitting to eating doughnuts and visiting In-N-Out to satisfy her cravings. On the other hand, Jenner has made a significant commitment to a clean, organic diet, which she followed before her pregnancy. Her post-baby diet consists primarily of organic fish and chicken, and she has eliminated all grains and fried meals in favor of fresh veggies, credits to Life & Style. She also “tries to prevent everyone around her from eating junk food so that she isn’t tempted,” according to the magazine.

Gigi Hadid

Gigi Hadid decided to pose for the cover of Vogue in March 2021, just ten weeks after giving birth to her daughter Khai with her boyfriend, Zayn Malik. Despite the fame that comes with being the face of a prestigious fashion magazine, the supermodel told Vogue that she was “realistic” about her post-baby physique and didn’t try to reduce weight before the shoot.

In the cover story, Hadid, 25, stated, “I was like, ‘Yeah, I’ll shoot a Vogue cover, but I’m not going to be a size 0,’ and I don’t feel like I need to be back to that at this moment.” Credits to the new parent, she also doesn’t feel obligated to fill her schedule with modeling assignments. She stated that being a mother has taught her the importance of stability rather than being in a new country every week. She’s completely fine with giving up her jet-setting lifestyle favoring a more relaxed lifestyle on the Hadid family farm in Pennsylvania.

Briana Culberson

Briana Culberson recently delivered her third child, son Hank Ryan Culberson, and she’s sharing a glimpse of her postpartum recovery with fans. Vicki Gunvalson’s daughter has returned home after giving birth, and she credits her post-baby physique to her Keto diet.

“Thanks to keto, @bellybandit luxurious belly wrap, and @blanqigirls postpartum leggings for sucking it all in!” Culberson mentioned in her Instagram post. She was dressed in fitting black leggings, a casual gray long-sleeved blouse, and warm white slippers when she posed in the mirror. In addition, she updated her fans on her physical recovery. Culberson is in no rush to get back to her pre-baby body. In fact, she’s taking things one day at a time and preferring to focus on her nutrition. She has previously stated that sticking to her Keto diet helped her third pregnancy be the “healthiest pregnancy yet.” It’s good to see a celebrity use their platform to promote a healthy and active lifestyle!

America Ferrera

Stretch marks and excess weight are frequently discussed in the context of postpartum body image. On the other hand, America Ferrera has battled to accept something very different: the loss of her strength. Six months after giving birth to her son Baz, the actress opened up about how she feels about her physique.

After completing her first triathlon two years ago, Ferrera discovered a new love for exercise and the outdoors. Her body image was revolutionized after she found what her body was capable of. The Ugly Betty star has made a point of appreciating the experience, although getting back into exercise has been a long process. In a series of Instagram videos, she credits hot yoga as her first postpartum workout and that getting through the session helped her get back to her “amazing body.” Last year, the couple celebrated their 15th anniversary and welcomed their second child, a daughter they named Lucia.

Daphne Oz

Daphne Oz has shed “almost 50 pounds” in the nine months since giving birth to her fourth child, daughter Gigi. However, the 34-year-old MasterChef Junior judge published a pic of her progress on Instagram, admitting that she hasn’t quite achieved the goal she set for herself. “I still have a long way to go,” the TV personality stated, adding that she is focused on feeling strong and energetic.

Oz told People that she joined WW to make a “promise” to her health following her pregnancy with Gigi, which she described as her “hardest pregnancy, physically” of the four. She noted that it’s easy for her to overeat because she works in the food industry, and she wanted to focus on making “meaningful eating choices.” Oz has been documenting her wellness journey on Instagram, and she says that having support on social media helps her get through the challenging degree of weight loss.

Melissa Joan Hart

Melissa Joan Hart thought she’d have a terrible time losing the 60 pounds she’d gained after giving birth to her third child, son Tucker, in time to return to work on her ABC Family program, Melissa & Joey.

Hart began the Nutrisystem program after hearing from others who had had success with it. Since then, she has lost 29 pounds. After losing the first 30 pounds before beginning the meal-delivery service, the actress — who is also the company’s representative — exclaims that she is “slimmer today than before the pregnancy!” Hart credits the best part of her slimdown plan is that she can still eat her favorite foods while eating portion-controlled meals like 270-calorie ricotta cheese-stuffed pasta, one of her go-to bedtime dinners, and tortilla soup with rice, beans, and corn. “They make healthy versions of your favorite cuisine. I like Mounds bars, and this almond-coconut bar is one of my favorites. I don’t have to feel bad about myself.” She adds that she always saves room for a dessert after supper.

Britney Spears

Britney Spears’ physique changed dramatically in just four weeks, credits to her trainer, Tony Martinez, who says her weight loss is due to a healthy and long-term approach to diet and exercise.

Martinez told Life & Style magazine, “She is all about portion size right now.” He added that the singer enjoys salads, broccoli, asparagus, kale, and other green vegetables. Her diet also includes a lot of protein. The mother of two consumes 1,200 to 1,600 calories each day, which she divides into five or six little meals. In addition, she works out three to four times a week for 40 minutes, including tennis matches, basketball core exercises, and even climbing fences. “We never do the same thing twice,” Martinez explains. “That’s why she likes it — and it shows in her body.” “She is pleased with herself since her clothing is distinctive. They’re a little more lenient with her. I prefer to go that route than forcing her to lose weight.”

Katy Perry

Eliminating post-baby curvatures after pregnancy takes time, as Katy demonstrated in an Instagram story she shared five days after giving birth to her daughter Daisy Dove with English actor Orlando Bloom. The American Idol judge gained roughly 45 pounds throughout her pregnancy, so she’s far from having a flawless flat stomach. Her body, though, appears to be in good shape, which she credits to a proper diet and exercise regimen.

During her pregnancy, Perry stayed fit with workouts that provided her with a dose of physical conditioning. She follows Harley Pasternak’s diet, which encourages her to eat five small, healthy meals per day and exercise five times per week. Her diet includes broths, grilled asparagus, whole grains like quinoa, and grilled chicken. Similarly, coconut water and freshly squeezed fruit juices provide her with nutrition and vitamins. As a result, Perry eats well-balanced meals to be healthy and retain high energy levels for work and performance. When she needs specific foods or smoothies, she looks for healthier alternatives, such as smoothies with healthy flavors but no fat.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley gave birth to her son Jack a few years ago, but she only just opened up about how having a baby changed her perspective on her body. The model disclosed that she gained 55 pounds throughout her pregnancy on Ashley Graham’s Pretty Big Deal podcast.

The mother of one said that it was initially difficult for her to accept how her body changed to a surprising degree during pregnancy. However, she eventually accepted the alterations, claiming that in the month leading up to her delivery, she “essentially wandered everywhere naked.” Huntington-Whiteley finally felt “very confident in my body,” although “it took a minute to get there.” The model lost the weight approximately a year after her son was born, and she wants other women to realize that it takes time. “Everyone’s body is different, and everyone is on their journey,” she said. “I truly want every mother to focus on herself while simultaneously spending time with her child,” she added. “It’ll come; it’ll happen.”

Bethenny Frankel

Bethenny Frankel is well-known for her appearances in The Apprentice: Martha Stewart and The Real Housewives of New York City. Outside of TV, she has made investments towards starting her lifestyle brand and disaster relief initiative. Being a TV personality, she has been quite conscious about her body. When she became pregnant with her child Bryn, Frankel was reported to have gained 35 pounds throughout her pregnancy. This led her on a quest for fitness.

When Frankel gave birth to Bryn in May of 2010, she immediately started slimming down. Just three weeks in, she shed some 30 pounds off her weight.

Frankel already lived quite healthily through a balanced diet and daily exercises, including yoga and a good walk around her neighborhood.

Hilary Duff

Hilary Duff is best known for playing Lizzie McGuire during her teens. She has since expanded to other fields such as business investments, singing, writing, and donating.

She eventually decided that she had to slim down after giving birth.

After she gave birth to her daughter Banksy in 2018, Duff immediately started slimming down. It took her 10 months to lose some weight. She aimed to get her body goal for her daughter’s first birthday. In August 2019, when she posted a selfie on her Instagram account, she showed that she has returned to her pre-pregnancy body. She thanked her dietician and personal trainer for helping her throughout her fitness journey.

Padma Lakshmi

Model and Top Chef Presenter Padma Lakshmi has always been quite conscious about her body. As per her tradition, she always goes on a strict diet and fitness regimen every year before the Emmys just to have that perfect physique. However, it was her post-pregnancy period that was her most difficult yet. Shortly after giving birth to her only daughter Krishna back in February 2010, Lakshmi immediately went to work to slim down. Her goal: burn the 25 pounds she gained throughout her pregnancy.

According to her, she needed to lose some weight to go back into working for Top Chef. Sure enough, she managed to shed 10 pounds in May 2010. She attributes this fast slimming to her exercise regimen, which includes boxing, running on the treadmill, and climbing flights of stairs. A few months later, in October, she reported that she had lost all of her weight gain from pregnancy. Her investments towards her body has certainly paid off.

Claire Holt

Vampire Diaries actress and model Claire Holt hasn’t always followed the trend of celebrity mothers suddenly slimming down shortly after giving birth. As a mother of two, Holt has certainly gained some weight after those pregnancies. While it is not known how she loses her weight, insights can be gained from the early 2010s, before her marriage to real estate executive and investment manager Andrew Joblon.

In November 2012, she was grilled by her Vampire Diaries co-star Phoebe Tonkin about her diet and exercise regimen. According to Holt, she is quite athletic, being a swimmer and a runner. She has dabbled in cycling and some cross-training as well. In addition, she doesn’t eat too much, which helps her enable to slim down. To expand on her diet, she mostly eats healthy proteins and vegetables. Contrary to others, she eats more carbs than usual due to her long exercise regimen. As a side, she drinks coconut water for rehydration.

Ayesha Curry

TV personality and actress Ayesha Curry is also known as the wife of NBA superstar Stephen Curry. Together, they have three beautiful children. With her busy schedule between writing cookbooks and managing a restaurant, staying fit became one of Ayesha’s challenges. Fortunately for her, she did just that.

During the past year, she lost a total of 35 pounds. Most of it was the weight that she gained during her pregnancy. According to her, she started her fitness journey back in 2019. She admits that being fit wasn’t on the top of her priority list back then. Based on her interviews in 2020, she said that she mostly ate a mindful and nutritional diet, with a heavy emphasis on greens, along with HIIT workouts and some cycling with her husband. She credits her husband Steph for helping her. With a superstar athlete for a husband, it’s no surprise that she has managed to shed those pounds.

Vanessa Bryant

Vanessa Bryant has been quite committed to continuing her healthy lifestyle. From her marriage to the late Kobe Bryant, she is a mother of four children. As such, she has gained a considerable amount of weight over the years. Some commenters even said that she had to shed some pounds. It might have been an impossible and massive investment on her part, but sure enough, she did just that.

With a basketball legend as her husband, Bryant has taken cues from his diet and exercise regimen. She mostly eats lean meats and vegetables while avoiding some refined sweets and fatty foods. Along with that, she may have been following her husband’s exercise routine such as running. However, it is not as intense as her husband’s six-hour-long exercise routine. It seems that her regimen works, as she manages to fit into many beautiful dresses graciously.

Lauren Paul

Lauren Paul is known as the wife of Breaking Bad star Aaron Paul. Together, they have one child. Already a glowing and beautiful figure, Paul has managed to maintain her weight over the years. This is despite her experiencing an eating disorder, largely due to her troubled childhood. Fortunately, for her, she has managed to make an investment towards overcoming it. Since then, she has founded, along with her husband, an advocacy campaign group called Kind Campaign, which aims to aid women in body positivity.

While she has not opened that much about her diet and exercise regimen, it is clear that she burned off some of those pounds after giving birth to daughter Story Annabelle in February 2018. A month before her scheduled childbirth, she was spotted with her husband going to a West Hollywood restaurant. Being pregnant, she may have craved more food than usual. Fortunately, she managed to maintain her body after giving birth.

Madonna

At 62 years old, Madonna still manages to impress a lot of people with how she maintains her youthful look. Her exercise and diet routines have been quite followed over the years. From calorie-crunching programs back in the 1980s, she is no stranger to losing some of those pounds and has been a trendsetter for many diets and workout regimens, thanks to her superstar status.  Having given birth to four children, along with two adopted twins, Madonna has been committed to making an investment towards slimming down.

For her diet, Madonna follows a very macrobiotic diet. The diet consists of whole grains, legumes, vegetables, and fruit. She adds some fish into her diet, as well. As for her workout regimen, she has adopted a mix of cardio, resistance training, and some stretching. This enables her to move the majority of her body so that she can be in tip-top shape.

Liv Tyler

Liv Tyler has been an icon for many years. She became world-famous for portraying Arwen in The Lord of the Rings trilogy. She is also the mother of three children, with two from her marriage with David Gardner. Unlike many celebs in the industry, Tyler has never pressured herself into slimming down to any degree. She called such pressures not normal. After giving birth, she mostly tends to her newborn child rather than hit at the gym.

After giving birth to Lula Rose in 2016, Tyler mostly focused on her child. However, this does not mean that she didn’t have plans to shed some weight. While she has struggled to shed some weight in the past, she is at the very least determined to do so. According to her, she mostly has a strict protein and then a raw diet. As for her exercise, she does some Pilates and yoga.

Natalie Portman

Natalie Portman is no stranger to slimming down, even after giving birth. As an actress, Portman is well-known for her appearances in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace and Black Swan. Portman has been a committed vegetarian since childhood. She even took it up a notch in 2009, when she became vegan and spent some of her investment money on causes like animal rights. She has been the mother of two children since her marriage to Benjamin Millepeid.

According to her, she adopts a vegetarian diet and works out almost regularly. However, she is not a stranger to more intense workouts. In fact, she had to go through an eight-hour-a-day training for Black Swan. So when she gave birth to Amalia in 2017, many were quite surprised by the speed at which she managed to lose some pounds. Fortunately, her long-time routine of a vegan diet and constant exercise are keys to that success.

Kristen Bell

Among the most impressive post-pregnancy weight loss journeys, Kristen Bell has got to be one of the most incredible. The actress wowed many when she lost 28 pounds after giving birth to her second child, Lincoln. Throughout her pregnancy with Lincoln, Bell gained 43 pounds. It’s quite impressive how she managed to lose a lot of weight. Even so, she hasn’t followed the trend of weight crashes that are quite prevalent in Hollywood. Thus, weight loss efforts make it even more impressive.

According to Bell, she isn’t worried about her post-baby body. She added that she doesn’t want to be quite miserable about losing weight. Even more so, Bell has been quite outspoken about the stigma of being heavier post-pregnancy. She stated that magazines and media coverage can be partly to blame. This is why, when she had her cover photo for Redbook Magazine, she made sure to send a message that you don’t need to rush too much on losing weight.

Gwen Stefani

Being a pop superstar and prominent TV personality, Gwen Stefani has always been conscious of her physique. Even at the age of 51, she has managed to be quite fit and healthy. This, in return, allows her to perform to her fullest. Stefani is the mother of three children from her relationship with Gavin Rossdale. Today, though, she has been engaged with fellow singer and Voice judge Blake Shelton. With a hectic schedule, it is pretty impressive how she still manages to make an investment towards slimming down.

Like in 2006, she immediately went on a diet after giving birth to her son Kingston. While she admitted some difficulty during that slim down, she has said that it was quite worth it. According to her, she went through a combination of a healthy diet and exercise, with some occasional cheat days. In recent years, she has modified her diet and exercise to slim down much faster for her concerts and tours.

Gisele Bündchen

Being a supermodel, Gisele Bündchen has undoubtedly needed to look out for her physique. The Brazilian model is the wife of NFL legend Tom Brady since 2009. They have two children together. It’s then no surprise that she gained some weight throughout her pregnancy. Even then, she managed to surprise many when she walked on the runway in July 2010, sporting a see-through football referee attire. While her runway walk is just part of her job, this was just months after giving birth to her son Benjamin in October 2009.

According to her, she immediately went to work to slim down after giving birth. With the help of a personal trainer, she managed to lose 30 pounds of her post-pregnancy weight, which is an impressive feat. The model also stated that she initially did some kung fu then yoga for three days a week. She also has been mindful of her food and isn’t quite stressed about which foods she eats. As such, her investment has managed her to return to her physique that wowed the world over.

Julia Roberts

Aside from being a committed actress, Julia Roberts is keen on slimming down after giving birth to her children. Roberts is the mother of three from her relationship with David Moder. Her weight loss saga after giving birth to twins and a daughter was extensively followed by the media, thanks largely to how she lost some pounds.

Roberts has mostly adopted a balanced diet with constant exercise. While it might seem mundane, it is a refreshing change of pace compared to other celebs who may have gone with more radical solutions.  According to her trainer, Roberts started with some yoga. Then, when she finally recovered from giving birth, more intense exercises like swimming and running followed. As for her diet, she has mostly consumed, as said by the trainer, ‘real foods.’ Real foods, in this case, are foods that aren’t found on the drive-thru and in fast-food restaurants. It seems that Roberts’ investment has paid off, as she shed her 35-pound weight gain throughout her pregnancy.

Amber Rose

While others on the list are just sticking to diet and exercise to shed some pounds, model Amber Rose has adopted a more invasive procedure to lose weight. Shortly after giving birth to her son Slash in October 2019, she didn’t waste her time waiting to get fit. It only took her two months before going under the knife for some lipo surgery. Because of this, she has managed to lose a whopping 37 pounds for those months. While lipo isn’t the best course for losing those pounds, it seems that it was the procedure that worked best for her.

Of course, lipo wasn’t the only method she used and made an investment in working out. The model mostly does some yoga and waist training, coupled with a high-protein diet and detoxification. According to her, she has worn her waist trainer for six hours a day. It’s no wonder her waists are pretty impressive.

Blac Chyna

When you are a celebrity, it is not only important that you do some financial planning to protect your fortunes. Your image is just as important, so models like Blac Chyna are really investing time and effort for a perfect body. Especially after giving birth. In fact, just nine days after Blac Chyna gave birth to her daughter with Rob Kardashian, Dream Renee, she showed off her belly on Instagram. We have to give it to her, this new mom has a whole new level of confidence, and we should admire her for it.

This model has so much willpower when it comes to losing weight. Apart from her showing off her body figure almost 10 days after giving birth, a lot of what she’s gained during pregnancy seemingly vanished into thin air. In just seven days of postpartum, she went down from 192 pounds to just 177 pounds. She could definitely reach her goal of dropping to 130 pounds in no time.

Cardi B

After Cardi B gave birth to Kulture Kiari Cephus in 2018, she’s had about two cosmetic surgeries. At that time, her daughter hadn’t even turned 1 year old, yet Cardi was so ready to lose all that post-pregnancy weight she gained. She had liposuction to lose the belly fat around her waist. In addition to that, Cardi also had breast augmentation surgery right before her baby’s first birthday. By the time the Billboard Music Awards came, she had flaunted her slim figure and six-pack abs.

She may have gone through a couple of surgeries, but she aided it with a good and healthy diet. She even drank a lot of weight loss tea called “Teami.” Cardi also stated that she doesn’t like looking too skinny, even though she only eats twice a day. It may not have been easy for her to maintain a particular body shape, but she is doing a fantastic job at it. After all, you have to take care of your body to some degree.

Mel B

Spice Girl, Mel B is a mom to three beautiful kids, Angel Iris Murphy Brown, Phoenix Chi Gulzar, and Madison Brown Belafonte. The first time she gave birth on February 19, 1999, she quickly realized that it is totally fine if you gained some post-baby weight.

After Mel gave birth to Madison in September 2011, the British singer didn’t mind lounging around in her pajamas all day for an entire month. After all, she deserves to relax after pushing a baby out of her.  However, it wasn’t long until she started working out. It only took her 6 months to lose all those post-pregnancy weight. She even flaunted her new body on the cover of Woman’s Day, an Australian magazine. After putting on 66 pounds when she was pregnant with Madison, she sheds on 33 pounds in 20 weeks, leaving her almost weightless at 132 pounds. Even her six-packed abs are back. We ought to give her credit for having the discipline to lose all that weight in just 6 months.

Heidi Klum

Some celebrities would go so far as to refuse to have their pictures taken until they lose all their gains from giving birth. Post-pregnancy weight loss is a massive deal for Victoria’s Secret angels like Heidi Klum, whose biggest investment in show business is to have the perfect runway model figure.

Heidi became even more known for strutting her stuff at the 2005 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show just two short months after giving birth to her beautiful son, Henry Samuel. She did it again years later. Only this time, Heidi needed five weeks to lose all those extra pounds after her pregnancy with Lou Sulola Samuel on October 9,2009. In fact, she took the 2009 Victoria’s Secret Fashion show by storm with her slender figure. It took a healthy diet and extreme 45-minute workout routines with the famous celebrity trainer, David Kirsch.

Nikki Reed

Twilight actress Nikki Reed was serious about losing all the post-baby weight after her first pregnancy with her husband, Ian Somerhalder. In fact, it only took her a couple of weeks to do it. Seriously, she doesn’t look like she just had a baby at all, even if she did give birth to their daughter, Bodhi, on August 10, 2017. Around this time, she even showed off her abs in an Instagram photo.

Nikki is all for eating the right food. In fact, she would never eat food that is not fresh. The actress also shared that she has been eating a lot of healthy salads, quinoa, and beets. She is very much into yoga too, which helped with weight loss. It helped her have a toned frame and a flat stomach. She also gives credit to her brother, Nathan, for giving her a hand in her workout routines.

Kristin Cavallari

Kristin Cavallari doesn’t let herself feel stressed out about losing her baby weight right after giving birth to baby number 3. Instead, she adopted a  laid-back approach to losing weight. It helps that her husband, Jay Cutler, supports her being comfortable in her own skin. After all, she has gone through the pressures that come with pregnancy after having it twice before.

She gives herself time to feel relaxed before getting into an intensive workout routine. Six months later, she was flaunting her slender figure without the belly rolls. Moreover, a healthy diet goes a long way. This is really what keeps her in shape. 80 percent of the time, it is all healthy food. The 20 percent is for whatever junk she wants to eat to satisfy her sweet tooth. Now, this is a helpful tip! Turns out the investment your body needs for it to stay healthy and fit is a good diet.
