New mom Jessica Alba recently revealed on Twitter that she started exercising and dieting to lose the baby weight:

“I did my first day of workout since I had the baby, just cardio for 40 min. -it’s a start. Anyone else starting a fitness regimen?(sic) My doc told me I could start after 2 wks. -im going light, stationary bike and elliptical. Start with walking and throw in 3 sets of lunges 20 per leg. U could do it while strolling ur baby. Commit to 10 min a day for a wk then add another 10 until u get up 2 40 min a day. It’s easier to ease into it.(sic)”

As for her diet…

“I would keep ur diet as healthy as possible 6 days a wk and give urself 1 day to indulge.(sic)”

On how her eating disorder manifested:

My Trainer set my calorie intake for optimum weight loss at 1,400 calories a day. Without telling her, I reset it to 1,000. Within weeks, my weight fell from 130lb (9st 4lb) to 120lb (8st 8lb), then 115lb (8st 3lb). But I still saw bulging thighs in the mirror. I dropped to 800 calories a day and fine-tuned my work-out. Every morning I ran for 45 minutes on the treadmill. I followed that with exactly 105 sit-ups – I wanted to do 100, but the five extra sit-ups allowed for some sloppy ones. If I had time, I would also do leg lifts: 105 with each leg.

Around my treadmill at home I taped cards down the length of the wall: 111,110, 109, 108, 107, 106, 105. Each time I lost a pound I removed the relevant card. It was getting more difficult to lose weight as I got thinner, so I needed all the motivation I could muster.

“Exercise for me is like eating, sleeping, and breathing. I’m consistent, and when I’m not consistent, it shows up on my body. I get really skinny, and I know it might sound like, ‘Well, good for you.’ But the body that people talk about is not me trying to stay slim, it’s the one where I work hard to keep weight on me. Your body definitely does change.”

“I do the elliptical every day for at least 45 minutes. I don’t enjoy it, but I do it. I love doing the spin bike. It’s a great way to burn 500 calories or something every time you do it, which is amazing.”

“I watch America’s Next Top Model and go, ‘Okay, I know if I stay on this an extra 15 minutes, I will look like that girl!’” she tells Us. “I don’t however, when I get off, but it inspires me.”
