Are celebrities just like us? Not all, but maybe some. Maybe. I always wonder how actresses manage to slink back into their skinny jeans two days after giving birth...to twins!

Maybe they have a personal trainer, a chef who cooks them only the very best organic and low-calorie meals, or... (gasp!) have they gone under the knife?

Well it's refreshing to know that Jessica Alba, who is a first-time mom to daughter Honor, doesn't do any of the above.

What's her secret?

She wore a girdle!

People magazine reported that Alba says her slim post-baby appearance is all thanks to a belly band -- she even said that she tried hitting the gym, but it just wasn't for her.

OK...Jessica Alba might as well be Superwoman looking like she does, but it is nice to know that she squeezes it in like many of us.

There are quite a few good girdles out there -- shapewear like Spanx, Yummie Tummie, and even clothes with slimming slips built in. Check out these posts for more information:

Did you wear shapewear like Spanx or Yummie Tummie post-baby?
