Nadya Suleman may be a mother of 14, but she definitely doesn't have the body of one. The controversial tabloid darling, who rose to fame 3 years ago when she gave birth to octuplets, is showing off her amazing figure on the cover of one of the British tabloids.

Wearing only a pair of knickers and covering her modesty with her hands, Octomom smiles to the camera and proudly bares her slim, toned figure.

Asked whether she ever went under the knife to bounce back in shape, Suleman shrugs such an idea off: not even she knows how she did it, but she knows for a fact she never really tried very hard.

It's all down to eating lots of vegetables and working out whenever time permits her, she tells Closer, as cited by the Daily Mail.

It was never her intention to be thin, Suleman insists. In fact, she initially started exercising after giving birth to become stronger, not because she was trying to shift the extra weight – and there was plenty of that, seeing how she carried octuplets.

“I just pinged back into shape like a rubber band after the kids, I don’t know how I did it. I eat like a horse, don’t count calories and have never owned a set of scales,” Suleman boasts.

“I gained an entire human when I was pregnant with the octuplets, going from 10st [140 pounds / 63.5 kg] to over 19st [266 pounds / 120.6 kg], but two months later, I was a size 8 again. Now, I never weigh myself,” she adds.

“I've never believed in diets. I just eat healthily. I’m a pescatarian and eat 15 portions of fruit or vegetables a day. I eat so much! Now, I run 40 miles a week, whenever my mum or a friend will babysit, but it’s still just for stress relief,” Suleman continues.

In the same interview, Octomom speaks of how beautiful she sees herself, and how she doesn't need a man to make her feel this way.

Speaking of, she claims she's not interested in finding love and having a relationship right now, though not for lack of suitors: she literally has to fight men off with a stick, and resort to cheap tricks of stepping out disguised with a wig and a fake baby bump to discourage them from pursuing her.

Suleman also tells Closer she feels she deserves more credit for the way she's bringing up her 14 children – yet no one is willing to give it to her.
