"I drink a ton of water," she told UsMagazine.com at the True Grit premiere in NYC last December. "Water really flushes everything out."
Lakshmi, who's currently in the midst of a nasty custody battle with venture capitalist Adam Dell, also offered some sage advice for other moms struggling to shed the last few pregnancy pounds.

"Just try to enjoy the food but don't overdo it," she said. "Be healthy. Your body will thank you."

8top chef is the best reality show on tv period love it. Padma is a uber milf as well. here's some nice pics I found and posted on my blog today http://instantcelebs dotcom and yes as you guessed she looks even better naked
VaVaVoom!!
@Chris, thanks for that info! Looking forward to tonights show as well!
wow, hot mama indeed!
She looks great. Way better than I thought she would. On Top Chef, she doesn't look like much, kinda fat in either too tight or dumpy, "eclectic" clothes.
I always wondered about the scar and I looked it up....according to the website I found, she was in a very serious car accident and left her with multiple injuries, including a broken right hip and a shattered right arm. it happened when she was 14 and the surgery required left the 7inch scar on her arm...I'm a fan of Top Chef also and love seeing what they come up with every week
All I can say is WOW! I am very impressed.
Yes she is - one hot momma! I've always wondered about that long scar on her arm - Im a big fan of Top Chef.
