Model Niki Taylor Gets Pre-Pregnancy Body Back

A little over a year ago, model Niki Taylor gave birth to a daughter, whom she named Ciel. Now, not only is she back to the weight she had before becoming pregnant, but she’s even more healthy, even though she makes all kinds of sweets for her kids. Speaking with People magazine, Taylor reveals her secrets to losing weight the healthy way.

Aside from Ciel, Niki also has two 15-year-old teens who eat what she describes as “basically teenager food.” This means cereals, potatoes and meat and some sweets, of the healthy kind. Clearly, she can’t have the same if she wants to maintain her enviable figure, which she also shows off in an amazing photo with 13-month-old Ciel swinging on a garden swing, while mom is flashing her incredibly long and toned pins.

“Most moms might struggle to lose post-pregnancy pounds with two growing sons in the house. ‘They are meat and potato boys,’ Niki Taylor says of her 15-year-old twins, Hunter and Jake. ‘They eat cinnamon rolls, cereal – basically teenager food.’ But Taylor, 35, stuck to her own mom food – a healthy diet of oatmeal sprinkled with berries, and chicken broiled in coconut oil – that has helped the model lose 59 lbs. – going from 197 lbs. to 138 lbs. – since giving birth to her daughter Ciel, now 13 months. (Dad is race car driver Burney Lamar, 29),” People magazine writes.

“If Taylor finds herself craving a cinnamon roll too, she limits herself to one bite – or else. ‘If I have dessert, I spend a half an hour more exercising,’ says the 5’11″ model, who spends 30 minutes a day doing cardio – walking, jogging or on a gym treadmill. ‘So I would rather just have the bite than work out an hour!’ As for weight training? Well, that’s just a part of motherhood. ‘I’m lifting a 25-lb. baby, her stroller and a diaper bag,’ she says. ‘That’s a workout’,” the publication further informs.

Niki Taylor is not the only female star to say that raising a baby virtually eliminates the need to work out in the gym. Late last year, Ashlee Simpson, who also got back her pre-pregnancy body in almost no time and seemingly with very little effort, was saying that her secret “weapon” against the flab, especially on the arms, was her son, Bronx.
