Jessica Alba wore double corsets to shed post baby weight.

Female celebrities are constantly watched to see how fast they can lose baby weight.

31-year-old, Jessica Alba is one of them.

Leaving many magazines speculating on her diet and tricks, the movie star certainly bounced back to her pre-baby body after both of her pregnancies. In an interview with magazine, Net-a-Porter, Alba finally revealed her very unique and surprising method to losing those extra pounds.

She states “It was brutal; it's not for everyone. I wore a double corset day and night for three months. It was sweaty, but worth it.” The idea behind the corsets is to very tightly hold in the loose skin that usually hangs following childbirth.

The garments help to support abdominal muscles and reduce water retention along with straightening posture.

Recently 36-year-old Shakira, who just had a baby in January, confessed to People magazine that losing her post infant weight had been 'stressful'. She reportedly practiced zumba dancing during and after the pregnancy to shed the excess pounds.

She says “I think that our mothers and grandmothers weren't under the pressure women of today are after delivering a baby.”
