Kate Winslet has lost three-and-a-half stone since the birth of her daughter Mia ten months ago. And to celebrate her new, slimline look, the actress posed in a corset for the cover of a British style magazine.
“People tell you the weight drops off afterwards. Hell-o! It does not,” the actress told InStyle magazine. “After delivering Mia, I thought: ‘Great, now I can wear my leather trousers.’ I cried when they wouldn’t go past my calves. My bottom looked like purple sprouting broccoli and other body parts resembled squashes. I was an absolute sight, I really was. How can you feel blooming and sexy when you look like the back end of a bus?”
So, how did the Titanic star do it? She consulted the services of pregnancy and birth guru Zita West, who advised twice-weekly visits to the gym and swimming, as well as facial analysis – when an expert looks at your face and deduces what minerals and salts are lacking, as well as which foods are irritating your system.
Kate admits that she was cynical about the treatment at the outset – until it started working. “She gave me an eating plan and the weight absolutely dropped off,” she said. “My skin’s much better. I never feel tired, I just feel great – never felt better.”
Her new film, the Mick Jagger-produced Enigma, in which she plays a World War II code-breaker, is released soon. “I was the perfect person to play the frumpy friend, because I was frumpy,” she says of her role as Hester. “I was five months pregnant, but I didn’t have a proper bump. I just got really round – well, fat. When I first watched Enigma, I was like: ‘Why didn’t anyone tell me just to stop eating?’.”
