Jessica's Trainer Talks To Us How She Did It Without Losing Her Mind!

Slow and steady wins the race — at least, that’s how the saying goes. But for Jessica Simpson, her astounding weight loss after giving birth to Birdie in March was fast and furious. Best of all, it was healthy! Simpson’s longtime trainer and founder of Sweetkick, the sugar-control mint, Harley Pasternak, tells Us the star didn’t aim to lose 100 pounds in six months — dropping from 240 to 140 — rather, she changed her habits and the results followed. He tells Us how she shed pounds wisely.

What were Jessica’s specific goals?
