I am always amazed at new celebrity moms and how fast they slim down. Apparently I am not alone since InTouch recently named the top ten starlets who quickly lost their baby weight and how they did it.

• Brooke Burke: Brooke is back in her bikini
  Staying fit during her pregnancy made losing the weight a breeze for Brooke Burke. “I did cardio and Pilates faithfully throughout my pregnancy and I started up again as soon as my doctor gave me the go-ahead,” says the 35-year-old, who gave birth to daughter Heaven on January 8. Now working out four times a week, she has already dropped the extra 30 pounds and is wearing her bikini once again. “It felt great,” she tells In Touch. “But I was taking my daughter to the ocean regardless of what I looked like!”

Everyone is always asking me what Jessica Alba's secret is. Girls I wish I knew, but I do have a little insight for you. Jessica has been spotted hobnobbing with other celebs at the Revlon Run/Walk for Breast Cancer, which shows that girl is staying active (and even doing it for charity). I like that...

Aside from burning calories through her own "ACT"ivism, InTouch (May 28th, 2007 issue) got the scoop from her trainer Ramona Braganza on what else she is doing to cut down on the calories:

• "Her secret is portion control," says Braganza. "She likes to have dinner out, but will only eat half of the food on the plate."
• A pro in the kitchen, Jessica loves to cook dishes like egg-white omelets, salads, healthy enchiladas and waffles - and drinks two to three liters of water a day.
• Jessica does cardio religiously (on the elliptical, stationary bike or treadmill for 30 minutes, four times a week). But when she's preparing for an action role, she'll likely add weights and yoga to tone up. "I like circuit training," she tells InTouch, because it keeps her from getting bored.
