For Liv Tyler, losing weight after the birth of her son Milo was no easy matter. "I was not one of those women who just dropped pounds instantly when I was breastfeeding," Tyler tells Britain's You magazine. "Actually, I got so homely I was ravenous for things like doughnuts and cakes."
Tyler took a self imposed hiatus from acting to focus on son Milo for the first year of his life. She stayed primarily at home and had a rude awakening about her weight following a run in with a photographer.
"I can remember walking down the street one day – I was going to the nail salon – when ... a photographer took my picture," she recalls.
"I was wearing a very unflattering shirt that I had worn when I was pregnant and a pair of sweat pants, and when the picture appeared in a magazine they ran a caption asking if I was pregnant again. When I saw it I said, 'I think the holiday is over.' "
Her ultimate weight loss was a result of several attempts and methods to shed the pounds. "I did a million different things," she says. "I would be on a strict protein diet and then a raw diet, and then I would do colonics and fasting. And I did Pilates, yoga and working out with my trainer."
She does admit that she still has another vice she must conquer. "I'm afraid I smoke sometimes. I did give up for a long time when I had Milo, but on my last film my character smoked and that was bad for me," she says. "I don't like it, but I secretly love it. I know it's terrible."
