"It Mom", Gwyneth dishes about her vices and losing weight in V Magazine:

"I put on 40 pounds with Moses. And I found it really hard to loose the last 20 pounds," Paltrow, 35, admits. "I didn't mind having the big boobs. But it was the stomach roll, the back fat, and the post-pregnant butt. And it was so hard to get rid of."

She did it with by eating "organic, seasonal food that isn't processed."

"I haven't eaten meat for about fifteen years. I eat fish, a little bit of dairy – not much milk – but I love cheese," she adds. "We'll make chocolate chip cookies and eat them, but sugar makes me feel pretty bad. I have coffee and wine. I've got lots of lovely vices!" SOURCE

She must be doing something right, because her body looks amazing.

KIM CATTRAL:

• Kim says that to stop her eating the leftovers from her dinner, she squirts lemon juice all over the food so that it tastes disgusting and she wont be tempted to eat it!
• Kim is a fan of the GI and South Beach diets. 
• "I exercise as much as I can. If I don't exercise, I feel sluggish. "I try to do 30 minutes a day. "If I can't get to a gym, I walk. I find it a release.
• "I ski and I have a very disciplined workout regime.
• "I play tennis, I run, I like to do the treadmill and I do very light weights."
• Her secret weapon when it comes to her long, youthful limbs is pilates - something she credits with not only keeping her trim but also improving her posture and helping her sleep.

SARAH JESSICA PARKER:

• When it comes to eating, the gorgeous star favours the Zone diet and tries to keep her portions small.
• Sarah also likes to stock up on protein and doesn't overdo it on alcohol, fat or sugar.
• "I walk everywhere instead of taking a cab," she explains.
• "I don't have a fitness routine and I don't work on my figure at all, but I do try to sneak in some exercise into my life any way I can."
• "Running around New York City and having a five-year-old," she says helps her maintain a Hollywood figure.
• Despite her dislike of the gym and not being a fan of tough exercise regimes, she does go running and practices pilates and yoga to stay in shape.

KRISTIN DAVIS:

• When she needs to lose weight, the actress uses the Zone diet and says, "My main issue is to never let myself get too hungry.
• "I make sure I eat every three hours or so, mostly proteins, good carbs, veggies and salad."
• She also adds, “I think it is about having balance. Eat what you want but in moderation.”
• “I live up in the hills and I have dogs, so it is my responsibility to get them out and walk with them and I love being outside.
• "I go on lots of hikes. "I think it’s good mentally to do that as well as physically.”
• Variety is also really important for Kristin, and when getting back into shape to play Charlotte, she says, "I knew I would be running, so I went back on the treadmill.
• "I also did yoga and pilates." "I love pilates. But you know, I don't like anything forever, I get bored."

CYNTHIA NIXON:

• She loves sushi.
• She credits her slim physique, in part to Gyrotronics - a combination of several workouts, including yoga, ballet, tai chi and gymnastics.

 HER FITNESS:

The singer has been training with Mike Alexander, who is best known for making her older sis look fabulous in Daisy Dukes. Ash and her trainer workout at her home where she has a treadmill, elliptical, and dumbbells. " I love it when my arms are toned, so we use weights to target them-- and we do lunges to give my small butt more shape," she says.

"Her backyard has about 30-40 steps, so I have her jog down, do lunges for th length of the pool, jog back up the stairs, then do a set of squats," Ashlee's trainer explains.
