Victoria Beckham

Victoria Beckham,celebrity bodies,celebrity,diets victoria beckham The ex-Spice girl regained her slim figure less than a month after giving birth to her third son, Cruz, after getting quick weight-loss advice from Elizabeth Hurley, who reportedly follows a one-meal-a-day diet. Hubby David says: \'Victoria\'s very happy, she didn\'t put much on anyway, to be honest. She only had this little cute bump. But she\'s really good and really healthy, I\'m so proud. She\'s great and she\'s losing the weight quickly, which is pleasing for her\'

Debra Messing

On her body post-baby she says: \'I\'m trying not to stress about [losing weight].\' Messing credits her slim figure to breastfeeding and, on the advice of her doctors, she didn\'t start working out - doing some Pilates, yoga and walking - until three months after the birth

Heidi Klum

Heidi Klum,celebrity bodies,celebrity,diets heidi klum The 31-year-old model breastfed baby Leni, which meant she could only leave the baby for a few hours - just long enough to fit in her near-daily 60-minute workouts, which, along with a high-protein, low-fat diet, helped her lose 30lbs. \'People say, "Oh, [with a newborn] you\'re in pain and you\'re tired and you can\'t have sex and everything is miserable,"\' she says. \'For me it\'s the opposite. I guess I am lucky.\'

Kate Hudson

Says Hudson: \'I did lose the weight pretty fast.\' She relied on a 1,500-calorie-a-day diet and three-hour daily workouts. It helped that she was breastfeeding Ryder, too

Jill Hennessy

Having a child unifies everything for me.\' On the subject of her post-baby body: \'No trainer needed. I run and bike and do sit-ups and push-ups at home\'

Denise Richards

Denise must be happy with her body after the baby, as she did a Playboy shoot five months after the birth: \'It was weird. I was like, "I\'m a mom now"\'

Natasha Hamilton

A caesarean meant she couldn\'t exercise for six weeks, so the singer found other ways to shape up: \'Instead, I sorted out my diet by cutting down on carbs, eating much lighter food and lots of fruit.\' Two months later, dancing on stage completed the transformation. Says Natasha: \'It\'s the best form of exercise!\'

Kate Winslet

Kate Winslet,celebrity bodies,celebrity,diets kate winslet The 29-year-old actress gained nearly 4 stone when she was pregnant with her second baby, Joe, but she lost the weight following an Oriental face-reading diet, which spots vitamin and mineral deficiencies. The diet meant no red meat or milk, but lots of chicken, potatoes, salad and butter. Says Kate: \'I was cynical, but was given an eating plan and the weight fell off!\'

Gwyneth Paltrow

Gwyneth Paltrow,celebrity bodies,celebrity,diets gwyneth paltrow The 31-year-old actress was spotted out a month after Apple\'s birth in a pair of slender Seven jeans - her svelte figure was said to be due to yoga, but the real secret to looking slim at a Los Angeles gala just weeks after giving birth? \'Two girdles! It\'s a great trick. That\'s how all the Hollywood girls do it. There are these great things called Spanx, which are like bike shorts, and they just squeeze you in. It\'s terrific\'

Melinda Messenger

celebrity bodies,celebrity,diets melinda messenger How did the presenter get back in shape? \'This time it was much harder just because it was the third time. But I had to exercise, even though I absolutely hate it. So I did stomach crunches and tried to eat healthily. I lost a pound a week and quickly got back to the size I wanted. I went up to about 8½ stone after the birth. I\'m normally between 7 and 7½. I didn\'t get a personal trainer, I just exercised when I felt like it\'

Kate Moss

Kate Moss,celebrity bodies,celebrity,diets kate moss The 33-year-old supermodel was back to her old self just months after giving birth, thanks to a low-fat, wholefood diet plan and gentle exercise regime, which she had devised for her by natural health guru Dr Nish Joshi. She is also said to have munched on sushi, which has no fat and is very low in calories

Elizabeth Hurley

Liz Hurley,celebrity bodies,celebrity,diets elizabeth hurley The 42-year-old actress and model shed her post-pregnancy bulge in just three months by subsisting on a diet of brown rice, oatcakes and steamed fish. She combined her diet with twice-weekly sessions with her Pilates guru, Lynne Robinson. Pilates works by toning the core muscles in your body, such as the tummy, pelvic floor and lower back - which creates a firmer middle section
