December 14, 2011 - 5:49 pm by Vibe

Jessica Alba kicked her fat to the curb and brought back her svelte body after restricting herself to 1,200 calories a day and wearing a girdle for two to three months after giving birth. Although she admitted to struggling with baby weight loss on Twitter, she worked harder in her cardio, weightlifting and yoga sessions. The 5’6’’ actress also gained some extra dough, suing pregnancy weight loss product Belly Bandit for $1 million for using her name and likeness to promote it.

The former Mrs. Fall-Out-Boy Ashley Simpson let pieces of her stay on during the nine months she carried son Bronx Mowgli. Family genetics from Mama Simpson and a three-month workout plan were factors in the quick weight loss. Jessica’s younger sibling just finalized her divorce to rocker frontman Pete Wentz this month.
