]Halle Berry gained 35 lb with her baby girl Nahla but she was adamant about getting her red carpet figure back. She used to eat small meals every few hours and avoid sodium-rich and fried foods because they kept her blood-sugar levels steady, which is crucial to managing diabetes. In fact, her favorite go-to meals included homemade soups or fish with leafy greens like kale or spinach and brown rice. “Her soup isn’t just soup — there are probably lots of vegetables and beans, so it’s filling,” says her trainer.
