Jessica Alba’s Tight Abs Secret: A Girdle!

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.”
