Skinny icon Victoria Beckham seems to be on a strict weight loss journey after giving birth to her daughter last month – here’s the full story from Daily Mail:

After giving birth to Harper Seven last month and gaining 1st 7lb (11 kg / 24 lbs), Victoria Beckham has gone into hiding in a bid to get back to a svelte size zero.

The former Spice Girl has been following the new ‘Five Hands’ diet to taper her figure in time for a grand unveiling at New York Fashion Week from September 8-15. With a matter of weeks to go before she makes her return to the spotlight, Victoria has reportedly been sticking to the strict regime which consists of just five handfuls of food a day.

A source told the magazine that she has cut out sugar and has been snacking on miniscule portions of smoked salmon, prawns with chilli, yellow-fin tuna sushi and scrambled eggs.

‘Five days after giving birth, she started eating five high-protein meals a day accompanied by green vegetables, drinking gallons of water, and only snacking on goji berries and nuts.’

 Following the birth of her three sons Brooklyn, 12, Romeo, eight, and Cruz, six, Victoria used a combination of Pilates and algae wraps – which reportedly shed 2-3lb a session – to regain her slender appearance.

Images of her after the birth of her first son Brooklyn, in 1999 sparked concern over her rapid weight loss. At the time, she said: “I had become Skeletal Spice. What upset me was I ate like any normal person… I wasn’t happy with how I looked.”

On being comfortable in her own skin: “For the first time, I feel like what you see is what you get. This is me: the more natural hair, the slightly more relaxed way of dressing. I feel really content personally and professionally. I’m not freaked out about getting older. I’m growing older with the most amazing man I’ve ever met – with my soul mate. Life’s great.”

… says Victoria in Allure Magazine.

From the Vogue UK January 2011 issue:

Hair: I love leave-in conditioner – Frédéric Fekkai’s is one of the best.

Lipstick: Stila’s Lip Polish in Gleam is an old favourite and recently I’ve been trying Burberry’s Lip Glow in Nutmeg, which is a pretty, neutral pink. If I could design a beauty product, it would be the perfect nude lip gloss.

Workout that works: Running every day.

Nail polish: I like Chanel, as it always does forward-thinking colours.

Body treat: I try to keep it simple with Nivea Body Lotion and I love a Thai massage.

Secret obsession: To stay hydrated I drink lots of coconut water.

Victoria Beckham is Marie Claire’s covergirl this month and she’s got something interesting to say:

KS: Any secrets to looking this good? Any plastic surgeon numbers you’d like to share?
VB: I take care of myself. I work out every day. I eat healthy. But I like to have fun too. I’m not going to say no to a glass of wine, let’s put it that way. But God! People in this business are obsessed with youth. I can understand it when you constantly see pictures of yourself in the press. But I do seem to be the only person I know who is getting older. Most famous people get younger and younger. I sometimes ask myself that question: ‘How come I’m the only person who’s getting older?’ But I’m cool with that. I read once that elegance is a privilege of age. I thought, that’s so true. You get more comfortable with yourself as you get older.
