Having a baby changes everything, and for Giada De Laurentiis that adage holds particularly true. The 39-year-old celebrity chef tells the December issue of Shape magazine that her approach to diet and exercise has been irrevocably altered since welcoming daughter Jade Marie, 20 months.
A former gym devotee, Giada turned to yoga as an expectant mother and never looked back. “I thought, ‘Oh, this will be a good way to stretch’ but it turned out to be so much more,” she notes. “It taught me to breathe, it strengthened my muscles and it helped me relax.”
In fact, yoga has become so important to Giada that a private instructor arrives at her home every day at 4:45 a.m. for an hour-long session. The early start time might make some moms cringe, but Giada says it is crucial.
“If I don’t do it first thing, I simply won’t do it,” she admits. “With my crazy schedule, that often means cutting into my sleep.” She adds,
“But yoga gives me the energy and focus I need to get through my day. I’m not saying I don’t need a cup of coffee in the afternoon sometimes, but it’s the yoga that definitely keeps me centered.”
It also helps her maintain her enviable physique, which she says she reclaimed by giving up white sugar and cheese for six months after Jade was born. “I gained 22 pounds, which doesn’t sound like much, but I’m only 5’3″ so it was a lot for my height,” Giada points out.
“Because I had a c-section, I couldn’t work out for a long time afterward, so I knew the best way for me to lose weight was through diet.”
Jade is Giada’s daughter with husband Todd Thompson.

Being four months pregnant hasn’t slowed down Bethenny Frankel one bit.
She’s shooting The Real Housewives of New York City, will set out on tour to promote her new book, The Skinnygirl Dish, and just finished filming her first exercise DVD.
Over the weekend, Bethenny, 39, took time out on the NYC set of her Skinnygirl workout video to show off her baby bump and chat with Life & Style about the pregnancy!
Congratulations! Are you super excited?
BF: I’m really excited. I’m starting to show a little bit. I don’t fit in my pants — it’s very liberating. Now I believe that I’m pregnant.
Have you gained a lot of weight?
BF: Five or six pounds, but they’re right in my stomach.
A lot of people think being pregnant is one giant binge, but you should check yourself before you wreck yourself.
I’m not changing the way I eat. If I eat chocolate cake at lunch, I try not to have it after dinner.
By no means is it dieting, but I’m trying to maintain some sort of balance because I’ll have to deal with it later. I’m actually thinking of writing a pregnancy book. There’s no reason to gain 75 pounds.
Have there been any complications because of your age?
BF: I had a scare. I had a big blood clot before three months. It was very scary. I was on bed rest.
Do you feel like this is a miracle baby?
BF: Absolutely a miracle. I’m not young, and I run around like a maniac. I always wanted to have kids, but I thought I’d wind up adopting or freezing my eggs. I didn’t think it would just happen at my age.
Did I plan the pregnancy? No. Did I want it? Yes. I felt like there was something huge missing in my life that I hadn’t experienced yet.
