A couple of days ago, countless paparazzi pictures of Jessica Alba on vacation in St Barts emerged online, prompting a lot of talk about how she had an impeccable figure even though she’d given birth to two babies.

As it turns out, her secret aide to a perfect body isn’t something that she’d recommend to everyone.

Jessica is featured in the latest online issue of Net-a-Porter magazine, with a gorgeous spring spread and an interview in which she also reveals how she got her banging body back after her second pregnancy.

“It was brutal; it's not for everyone,” she says.

“I wore a double corset day and night for three months. It was sweaty, but worth it,” Alba adds of the way she got her toned tummy back.

Her fans agree with her on that: by the looks of those photos online of her in a two-piece bikini, the “brutal” method was totally worth it.

In the same interview, Alba also talks a bit about her role in “Sin City 2” and how motherhood and expanding her horizons as a businesswoman have made her a more “fearless” actress.

Fans must know that Alba is now a writer and a businesswoman as well, having launched an eco-friendly home line that’s proved a smashing hit.

“I just finished the best movie I've ever done. It was so opposite to what I do [at home],” she says of “Sin City: A Dame to Kill For.”

“My approach to acting now is so different – I'm fearless because I have nothing to lose. Before [children] my whole identity was wrapped up in every decision – now, I don't care,” she continues.

“It could be a pile of [expletive] and you could think it was the worst thing you ever saw, but I still had the best experience,” Alba adds.
