Jessica Alba, who has been very outspoken about her fears of gaining weight during her pregnancy, has discovered a new trick to avert packing on the pounds.

Jessica Alba’s weight loss plan

Jessica, 26, is wearing Earth Lodge Boots – which have negative heels (the toes are 3.7 degrees higher than the heels), so wearing them “is like walking on a treadmill,” says a rep for the company.

“You get a slight workout, and exercise benefits pregnant women.” Jessica’s stylist requested the boots from the company, but I think a wiser strategy would have been to “requestâ€? a personal trainer and a good nutritionist, don’t you think?

In any case, why is Jessica worried about gaining weight? She is young and she was in great shape prior to getting pregnant, I do not think she is going to have a weight problem after giving birth. [source: Life & Style]
