Celebrity Post-Baby Bodies

These hot mummies share their secrets on how they got so thin — so quickly — after pregnancy

BEYONCÈ

Beyonce-Knowels

Bey returned to work very soon after the birth of baby, Blue Ivy, in 2012. She gained 26kgs during her pregnancy and her weight shot up to 88kgs before she gave birth. She quickly lost all that weight. How did she do it? Apparently it’s all down to a rigorous exercise routine on the treadmill and a low kilojoule diet with lots of lettuce!

KIM KARDASHIAN

The curvy Kim K had it bad when she was pregnant, gaining around 23kgs and a lot of negative publicity. Kim surprised everyone when she lost most of the weight in less than seven months thanks to over 100 squats every morning, working out every day and being on a low carb diet.

AMBER ROSE

Amber-Rose

Amber weighed 92 kilos when she gave birth to her son, Sebastian, last year and she took 10 months to shed the extra weight. She slimmed down by following a portion-controlled diet, yoga, and daily 90-minute exercise sessions with a personal trainer.

TAMAR BRAXTON

The reality TV star and singer weighed 93 kilos when she gave birth to her son, Logan, last year. During her pregnancy, Tamar admits she fell into the eating-for-two trap. To shed the baby weight, she went on diet and took up spinning classes. The singer lost most of this weight in a month as she had to prepare for a world tour for her new album, Love and War.
