1. She Eats Healthy When She’s Pregnant
Hembrow has an incredible post-baby body, which has led several women clamoring for her secrets. She revealed that one of her biggest secrets was eating healthy while she was pregnant. “What helped me bounce back is definitely how I ate and trained as I was pregnant,” Hembrow said in a YouTube video. “I ate very clean, I had a lot of veggies, a lot of protein, and I tried to only limit my treats to the weekends, so during the weekdays I was eating clean all the time.”
2. She Stays Motivated

In the same vlog, Hembrow says one of her best post-baby weight loss secrets is staying motivated. She says that this helped her stay consistent with working out. “What kept me going is how I wanted to look after the baby,” she says. “I knew I wanted to get fit again after the baby, and be in the best shape I could be, so I wanted to make it easier for myself by staying active while I was pregnant. I wasn’t in a rush or anything, but as soon as I got home I was eating clean, I was wearing the postpartum binder, and then I started working out about six weeks after the birth.”
3. She Does Workouts At Home

While Hembrow does like to visit the gym every now and then, she mostly works out at home. She says that her workouts aren’t super complicated, and don’t take that much time, so she can easily slide them into her schedule. “I will often do some workouts from my at home booty program – you only need dumbbells, or I will do a HIIT workout in the lounge room,” she says to New Idea.
4. She Gets Enough Protein

Hembrow has a muscular figure, and in order to maintain that, she makes sure to get enough protein into her diet. She says that she goes for supplements like powders, and lean proteins like turkey. “For me, lean protein like chicken breast, turkey and fish, really helps, but I find that with trying to build my booty I wasn’t consuming the amount of protein I needed, so supplements like protein shakes helped too,” she tells New Idea.
5. She Eats Complex Carbs

Hembrow tells New Idea that she isn’t afraid to incorporate carbs into her diet. However, she says that she mostly eats complex and healthy carbs, as opposed to the simple ones that people tend to avoid. “I needed to eat lots to build that area so I also ate lots of complex carbohydrates like brown rice, oatmeal, potatoes and healthy fats.”
