Australian model Elyse Taylor gave birth to daughter Lila eight months ago. Being a Victoria's Secret model, naturally, she's back in her pre-pregnancy shape:
Taylor says she put on over 60 pounds during her pregnancy, weighing 176 pounds right before she gave birth, according to the Daily Mail Australia. (Experts in the States recommend a 25- to 35-pound weight gain for women who are at a normal weight before pregnancy, or up to 40 pounds if you start out underweight.)
The model said she's had to work hard to lose the weight — and it wasn't easy:
"I tried different diets and now I'm on the blood type diet. My body has changed because usually I just juice or have salads. It's been exhausting [having to workout.]"
In an Bonberi.com interview she gave during her pregnancy, Taylor shared the fitness routine responsible for her pre-pregnancy figure: everyday, she did an hour of Pilates and 30 minutes of cardiolike running or power walking.
As for the Blood Type Diet, it's an eating plan based on the theory that your blood type affects your nutritional needs and can predict the way your body reacts to particular foods. Taylor didn't mention her blood type, but if you know yours and want to get on board: type As benefit from vegetarian foods; type Bs should avoid chicken and double down on gamey meats, veggies, eggs, and low-fat dairy; type ABs should avoid caffeine and alcohol, and load up on tofu, seafood, dairy, and greens; and type Os should avoid wheat, dairy, caffeine, and alcohol, and stick with lean meats and produce, according to the official Blood Type Diet's website.
The eating plan isn't designed for weight loss — it's more to promote wellness and fend off weight gain. If you think you need to lose weight though, chat with your doctor before you follow Taylor's lead.
