Hilaria Baldwin Talks Losing Baby Weight

Hilaria Baldwin, wife of Alec Baldwin, recently sat down for an interview with Cosmopolitan, where she talked about losing baby weight. The magazine quotes her as follows:

"I gave birth about 10 weeks ago, but I'm not trying to lose the baby weight. I’ve come to a point in my life where I'm not trying to be skinny, I'm just trying to be healthy, and I've found that if I don't really stress about it, the weight kind of just comes off. I started drinking [coconut water] religiously when I was pregnant with Carmen to soften the early contractions I had throughout my pregnancy. (My doctor wanted me to drink Gatorade, but I prefer not to drink anything with artificial colors, and coconut water is supposed to hydrate just as well.) I'm totally on the coconut bandwagon right now because I'm breastfeeding my son and it's also supposed to help with milk production. 

I’ve always liked smoothies, but I've started to make a bigger deal about them now that Carmen eats solid foods and is at the age where it's hard to get her to eat vegetables. We share a smoothie with kale or spinach every day. I just make up my own recipe. Right now, I'm obsessed with this combination of Dijon mustard, champagne vinegar, honey, shallots, olive oil, salt, and pepper. but give me Dijon mustard, some kind of vinegar, and olive oil, and I'm happy. To this day, I don't really like chips or crackers or anything like that. I’m very into textures. I don't like popcorn because it reminds me of packing material. I’m weird in that I love vegetables and salad, especially in the summer. People tell me I'm so disciplined, but I grew up eating this way.”
