The secret to supermodel and mum Padma Lakshmi's svelte post-baby body is out!The secret to supermodel and mum Padma Lakshmi's svelte post-baby body is out!

As she explains, "I can’t expect to look immediately the way I looked before. It is about feeling good about yourself and being healthy.”

She is a well-known figure not only in India but also internationally. A supermodel, the host of the US-based show Top Chef and a full-time hands-on mum; Padma Lakshmi wears many hats.

Not to forget, she has the 'mom-bod' to die for? Don't believe us? Well then take a look at this recent picture she posted on her Instagram page. She is seen wearing sexy lingerie and enjoying every bit of it.

But why did she flaunt her 'to-die-for abs?' Well, it's going something to do being a mother!

And, as she explains, "Don't hate because I'm in lingerie. Moms do that sometimes." Yes, you read that right! 

Setting a new goal for post-baby body for working mothers, Lakshmi proved that she is in a great shape, thanks to her healthy eating habits and religious exercise routines.

But it is easily something that all mums can do!

Her secret to getting that pre-baby body back

In an interview to Momtastic just a few months after the birth of her daughter Krishna Lakshmi-Dell, (now 5), Lakshmi revealed that since she had to return to the limelight soon after delivery, she made sure she ate right and was disciplined about her workout.

But she also added a disclaimer admitting that she couldn't have immediately bounced back to her pre-baby body within days and it took a lot of work, belief and patience.

"I can’t expect to look immediately the way I looked before. It is about feeling good about yourself and being healthy,” she said.

She even shared a picture of herself working while breastfeeding and gave a shoutout to all working mothers who juggle their mummy-duties with work.

A shout out to working Moms everywhere!! #TBT #topchefmemories #littehands #nursing

So how did she lose all that pregnancy weight and come out looking like the supermodel she is? Well, her secret is finally out and you won't believe how some simple activities helped her lose all that weight.

Continue reading to see how Padma Lakshmi lost her pregnancy weight. It's something even you can do at home!

How Padma Lakshmi got her pre-baby body back

In the same interview the supermodel and mum to five-year-old Krishna explained how with just a few changes in her lifestyle and with the addition of this one physical regime, she was able to get back to her pre-baby body.

“I needed to make sure I was healthy. I was breastfeeding and I wanted to be good at my job and that involves tasting food. I couldn’t worry about my weight and taste everything on the show,” she said.

Lakshmi reportedly took up boxing and cut back on excessive food indulgences. Apart from these changes, she did a very simple thing, which is reportedly resorting to taking 70 flights of stairs every single day and adding weight-lifting to her daily regime.

She is also a very conscious eater and recently launched her own range of frozen organic rice and lentils, which can be cooked in minutes. The yummy-mummy even shared a video of her new line on her Instagram page adding that it can be quite helpful for working mums everywhere.

About a year and half ago, my company, Padma's Easy Exotic began to offer organic frozen rices and lentils, although the journey to market was a lot longer. I now have been fortunate enough to have a lot of mom and pop natural and health food stores carry us as well as select whole foods and other grocery stores too. But we're just getting started!!!! This is something I began to do at home with leftover plain rice, rice dishes and lentils for me and #littlehands. And then it dawned on me that this is a great idea to help other working moms, dads or even anybody who's too busy to cook every night but stills want to eat healthy. I need to get the word out!!! Because I believe we really do have a wholesome and delicious product (the lemon rice is my grandma Rajima's recipe!) at an affordable price. I was lucky enough to be able to shoot our first ever commercial. And here is your first sneak peak!!!!!!!I can't believe I'm actually showing it to you!!! We had a lot of fun making it in our neighborhood farmers market and at home. This is truly from our family to yours. I'm biased but I still get choked up watching it. I hope you guys like it too!! And, if you're curious please, please, please ask your local grocer to carry it so you can try it for yourself. I also want to thank Poppie Van Herwerden for a beautiful piece of filmmaking that really captures the spirit of Padma's Easy Exotic. Here you go.....!!!!!!!!! #unionsquaregreenmarket #padmaseasyexotic

Two simple ways you can lose post-baby weight

If you are thinking that adding boxing to your daily exercise routine might be a tad bit difficult, then how about these two simple steps that can bring you back to your post-baby self!

  • Kapalbhati: The ancient art of yoga, which includes a very powerful and effective exercise called Kapalbhati can come to your rescue when it comes to shedding extra kilos. This exercise removes toxic air and toxins from the body, thereby, gradually reducing all that body weight.

  • Ginger water: Another remedy that can come to your rescue is hot ginger water or adrak ka paani. This simple desi remedy is great for quick fat burning and also increases metabolism and most importantly reduces cortisol, which is a steroid hormone.

While Padma Lakshmi continues to give us major health goals, we are sure that after trying these two simple remedies even you can get your post-baby body back in no time.
