"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.

Want to curb your appetite? Use these 7 helpful tips to eat less!

EAT FIBER: Unrefined foods, especially those that are high in fiber, stimulate appetite-suppressing hormones and make you feel full

BRUSH YOUR TEETH: Take a break from eating to brush up. The minty flavor of toothpaste helps you resist eating more.

BE CONSISTENT: Eating breakfast and regularly scheduled meals keeps hormone levels steady and quashes hunger pangs

EAT SLOWER: It takes a while for the brain to realize that the stomach is stretching. Eating slowly gives the brain time to catch on.

FEWER CARBS: Carbohydrates make you hungrier. Load up on fats and proteins.

PORTION CONTROL: Smaller portions mean fewer calories are taken in, so less fat gets stored. A point system assigns a value to portions of all sorts of foods to help tabulate—and limit—daily consumption.

MEAT FREE:  At nine calories per gram, fat is more than twice as dense as protein and carbs. Thus dieters can consume the same amount of food but still lose weight if they eat less fat. Focusing on complex carbs like whole grains helps stabilize blood sugar, and lots of fiber increases satiety.
