Tori Spelling brags about post-baby bikini body
Tori Spelling had her second child, a daughter named Stella, almost seven months ago. The 35 year-old reality star is also mom to a son, Liam, 20 months. Tori has lost 50 pounds since she last gave birth and is in this week’s In Touch showing off her tight tummy and thin legs in a bikini. Not one to pass up an opportunity to toot her own horn, Spelling tells the magazine that she “kicks ass” for being able to lose the weight so fast, and calls herself “a working mom of two” who “did it all by myself.”
“When I got my body back after Liam, I was happy,” Tori tells In Touch. “But this time, I was like ‘I kick ass!’ I’m a working mom of two, so to know I did it all my myself was huge.” Now slim, sexy and bikini-ready, Tori exclusively shares how she did it – and how she’ll keep it off.
How much did you gain while pregnant with Stella?
I gained 50. I lost 10 pounds instantly and then another 40.
What was your diet like while losing the weight?
Breakfast was yogurt, fruit and nuts. Lunch was homemade soup with a sweet potato or soy milk base. We’d snack on celery and peanut butter, and then I’d make lean protein with vegetables for dinner.
How many calories did you eat a day?
I never counted. I just ate healthy.
What about exercise?
I would go for long walks or biking with the kids. We’d do physical activities every day.
How does it feel being back in a bikini?
I’m proud! I could’ve gotten here sooner if I was fanatical and worked out extensively every day, but I’m glad I didn’t. I’m so happy I did it with my family and in a healthy way.

Good for Tori and all, but the “working mom” bit comes off as insincere when she’s not working a regular 9 to 5. It’s hard enough to take care of two tykes but surely she has help and it’s doubtful her husband works a regular job either. There’s something kind of off putting in the way she brags about it but doesn’t admit to much exercise.
There’s a follow-up page with her sample daily meal and exercise plan. In Touch she says she does exercises like weight lifting, yoga, and long walks although Tori didn’t admit to more than group exercise in her interview. It takes a lot of strength training and cardio to get slim like that and it’s almost like she’s dismissing it as easy but still trying to take credit for the results. Maybe the magazine spun it that way and I just find her annoying. If you see the photos in In Touch she looks pretty smug, but at least people won’t concentrate on the faces she’s making now that her body is banging again. Given her fashion sense, the less clothes she’s wearing the better.
