Catherine Zeta-Jones' recipe for post-baby body

Welsh actress Catherine Zeta-Jones, 37, admits that she enjoyed eating for two while pregnant with each of her children. In fact she has said that she "ate for Wales" and savored her favorite food items during pregnancy. Her children, with husband Michael Douglas, 62, are Dylan, 7, and Carys, 4.

Catherine shows off her fit post-baby body in the July 2007 issue of InStyle magazine. Catherine explains that she chose to lose weight the old fashioned way – through healthy eating and exercise.

I have to drag myself to the gym like everyone else. But I do eat sensibly and have lots of chicken. Although if I could eat only three foods for the rest of my life, it would also be smoked salmon sandwiches with potato chips crunched inside and fish and chips if I did not put on weight.

Catherine also exercised regularly using a exercise regime she used for her role in the musical Chicago in order to drop extra baby weight.

Catherine and her family live predominately in Bermuda.

Of course if I had my own personal chef and trainer, I could have a fabulous body too. (Okay, slightly envious.)

But she put the work in versus plastic surgery or gimicks and she’s got the results.

Guess that means I need to drag my butt to the gym more frequently and actually go inside versus waiving from the parking lot. Good thing I like grilled chicken!

I love her but can’t they find a different picture of her family. It is always this same picture.

Sarah’s note: So true! I’ll ask the contributors to change it up a bit.

Good for her, it takes effort but can be done.

She lost the baby weight, in part, with cigarettes which she chain smokes.

She should be more honest about her “healthy” choices.

I agree with marlee. It is well known that she smoked through her pregnancy with her last baby, there are pics of her very pg and topless sucking on a cancer stick.

Love this website but why do you feature CZJ???
She smoked throughout her pregnancy, and really is not fit to advice other mothers on how to loose the weight. Very disappointed with you C-B…

i REALLY AM DISAPPOINTED WITH CELEBRITY-BABIES FOR PROMOTING CATHERINE ZETA-JONES AS A ROLE MODEL OF HOW TO GET BACK IN SHAPE !!! IT IS WELL KNOWN AND WELL DOCUMENTED THAT SHE SMOKED CIGARETTES THROUGHOUT HER PREGNANCY!! WHAT AN AWFUL SELFISH THOUGHTLESS THING TO DO TO YOUR UNBORN CHILDREN… I REALLY HOPE C-B RE-THINKS IT’S DECISION TO FEATURE CZJ.
