Alba reveals how she lost baby weight

Jessica Alba has revealed how she shed the extra pounds after giving birth to her first baby Honor last June.

“I wore a girdle,” she tells the February issue of Elle magazine. “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. She was like, ’I slept in it.’ I didn’t recover as fast as she did. I don’t have a six-pack – that’s just not my body at all.”
