Jessica Alba has revealed the secret to her slamming post-pregnancy body.
"I wore a girdle," the 28 year-old actress told Elle. "Eight weeks after my girlfriend had her baby, you could see her six-pack. She told me to put an elastic band around my waist - any kind of band or girdle works."
The Fantastic Four star admitted that she attempted to improve her appearance with exercise, which didn't help.

The workouts, she said, "were horrible. I cried. And I haven't worked out since."
Ironically, Alba found giving birth to be easier.

Worth the girdle, we're guessing.
