Just seven months after giving birth to her daughter Stella (via C-section in June), Tori Spelling has already lost all her baby weight, and then some. The shrinking 35-year-old actress is getting ready to appear on the new “90210“, so the pressure to lose weight and look like all her other super-skinny co-stars must have been great.

In case you were wondering what Tori did to lose all that weight so quickly, she shared her “secrets” to In Touch magazine - of course she says her diet was healthy, and she even claims not counting calories!

How much did you gain while pregnant with Stella?
I gained 50. I lost 10 pounds instantly and then another 40.

What was your diet like while losing the weight?
Breakfast was yogurt, fruit and nuts. Lunch was homemade soup with a sweet potato or soy milk base. We’d snack on celery and peanut butter, and then I’d make lean protein with vegetables for dinner.

How many calories did you eat a day?
I never counted. I just ate healthy.

What about exercise?
I would go for long walks or biking with the kids. We’d do physical activities every day.

How does it feel being back in a bikini?
I’m proud! I could’ve gotten here sooner if I was fanatical and worked out extensively every day, but I’m glad I didn’t. I’m so happy I did it with my family and in a healthy way.

Supermodel Cindy Crawford makes a point of eating ice cream in front of her daughter, to make sure she doesn’t have food and weight issues. Cindy is worried that her daughter Kaia will develop obsessive dieting habits unless she learns that even her thin mother indulges in snacks and treats.

The mother of two (daughter Kaia, 7, and son Presley, 9) says she has to exercise restraint while snacking, but enjoys the occasional sweet for her children’s sake.

She says, “I do want my kids to see their mom eating normally. If we go for ice cream I might get the tiny size but I’ll eat it. I don’t want my daughter to think she can’t eat ice cream.” [Source]

For the New Year, as usual, most magazines and tabloids talked about celebrity bodies, who lost and who gained weight in 2008, and so on. Let’s take a look at some of the “celebrity diet secrets” that helped stars lose weight during the past year.

Britney Spears: The pop princess packed on the pounds during an emotional rough patch in fall 2007. No one would have been wiser had Spears, 27, not donned a bikini while stumbling about the VMAs stage.

How she did it: No stranger to dance routines, Brit lost the 20 thanks to intense cardio three times a week (think lunges, jump squats and general boogieing). As for the nacho chips, they were replaced by a 1,200-calorie-a-day delivery plan, Sunfare.

Mischa Barton spent her Christmas vacation in Goa, India, and wanted to share some bikini pictures of herself with the readers of her blog.

Here are some photos from my Christmas vacation in Goa. The ocean there was so beautiful and warm I didn’t want to get out. I would swim all day, ate mostly a vegetarian diet and bought some beautiful things from the vendors I bargained with — jewelry, saris, you name it.

Christmas was certainly different this year, as I usually ski during the holiday. But the Christmas display in Goa was beautiful.

Mischa is trying to find some balance in her life by doing yoga exercises and embracing the Buddhist philosophy of living.

I slept every night outside in a hammock with quilts and pillows and would wake up at dawn. The hammock was just outside my sisters Zoe’s room on the lawn and you could see the ocean. It was heaven! I was in serious need of this sort of break!

I was also doing tons of standard yoga, more for spirituality and the mind — I love Buddhism. Here’s a quote from the Dalai Lama to think about (if I was to get a tattoo it might be this one!)

“This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness.”

Yoga seems to be working miracles not only for Mischa’s mind, but also for her body… What do you think?

Jennifer Connelly has recently lost a lot of weight, and this has caused people to wonder about her health. Some even speculated that she was losing weight in order to compete with her thin “He’s Just Not That Into You” co-star Jennifer Aniston.

The true reason for her weight loss, however, is grief and stress. Jennifer’s husband, Paul Bettany, has just revealed that his formerly curvaceous wife’s slimming down is the result of the death of her father Gerard, who passed away in September.

At Monday’s 20th Annual Palm Springs International Film Festival, Connelly’s husband, British actor Paul Bettany, finally addressed the weight loss rumors.

“I will tell you… My wife just lost her father,” he explained to OK!. [Source]

Lily Allen has sought the help of her hypnotherapist Susan Hepburn once again in order to lose weight and stop drinking.

After several sessions of “hypno-dieting” (a new trend that’s popular with the stars right now), the singer has dropped two dress sizes and gave up drinking. This new weight loss method (which is rumored to cost about $600 a session) is also favored by celebrities like Geri Halliwell and Sophie Dahl.

Here’s what Susan Hepburn, the hypnotist who has worked with Lily, said about this method:

“During sessions, I taught Lily to favor healthy, low-fat meals instead of junk food and to see that alcohol isn’t a confidence booster, it’s just extra calories that sabotage your efforts to get a good body.” [Source]
