You wouldn’t know it by looking at her svelte post-baby figure now, but sources say that while Angelina Jolie was pregnant with twins Vivienne and Knox, she had some high-calorie cravings- and gave into them often. But when her junk food eating habits started rubbing off on the whole family, including partner Brad Pitt, the actress decided to clean up her diet.

After giving birth to twins, Angelina Jolie had a difficult time putting the breaks on the high-calorie pizzas, Hot Pockets, french fries and ice cream she consumed during her pregnancy, Us Weekly reports in its latest issue, on newsstands now.

Her snacking got so bad that a source close to Jolie’s French Ob-Gyn, Michel Sussman, tells Us that he instructed her to eat more nutritiously. (She said junk food is “their family’s weakness” and even joked about Brad Pitt having a pregnant belly, says the source.)

The article suggests that Jolie didn’t drop the weight through exercise, but instead through a very strict diet that included special foods being shipped to the family while they stayed in Berlin. Hopefully, she doesn’t go overboard and revert back to her scary-skinny physique she had before the pregnancy. I think her new curves look fantastic.

I know how hard it is to resist those pregnancy cravings. I’m 5-1/2 months along right now, and last night I would have killed for some lime sherbet. The cravings get so intense, you get fixated on them to the point of distraction. Sometimes it’s better for everyone if you just give in to them - but in moderation, of course.
