Biggest Loser host and Days of Our Lives star, Alison Sweeney is ready for summer. She’s opened up to People to share her tips and tricks she’s learned as the host of Biggest Loser as well as pose for that hot pic above.

“I can’t even tell you what my life would be without the show,” Sweeney, 34, says. “I’m a more confident person and certainly more well informed, and that confidence I have comes from knowing I’m doing what I need to do and working hard for it.”

Alison Sweeney Brings You ‘The Mommy Diet’

She isn’t super strict all the time though, but several times during the year,

“I cut the crap out of my diet – cheese, dairy, carbs like bread and pasta and fatty meats.”

She loves to snack on sliced bell peppers and cucumbers, as well as exercise every day.  She manages to squeeze in treats here and there to keep herself balanced.

“I’ll have wine or a piece of cake once in a while,” says Sweeney. “But I don’t look at it as sliding backwards, even if I go a whole week without working out. I don’t dwell on it and beat myself up – I just try to have a healthier day tomorrow.”

I love that attitude.  No need to be miserable and miss out on the good stuff all the time, right?  I just wish I had that kind of self control!  I have a magnetic attraction to the bad stuff…… and working out isn’t my strong suit.

Alison Sweeney launched her upcoming book, ’The Mommy Diet‘ at The Grove yesterday and she looked fantastic!  This sure to be a hit book isn’t going to be released officially until December 28th, but she’s begun the promo tour just in time for Christmas. Alison knows what she’s talking about when it comes to weight loss and all things related to dieting thanks in part ot being a mom of two and also her time as host on The Biggest Loser.

Here’s a bit on her book,

As a working mom who looks hotter than ever after two pregnancies, Alison Sweeney knows what it takes to look and feel great during pregnancy and how to get back in shape post-baby. (Yes, it’s possible!) In The Mommy Diet, she shares tons of straightforward tips, personal anecdotes, easy-to-follow exercises, fashion insight, nutrition advice, and even a few of her favorite quick, easy recipes.

The Mommy Diet helps moms-to-be stay fit, positive, and pampered during pregnancy and then steers new moms to a healthy recovery and body confidence after the baby is born. It’s a warm, accessible, funny guide to everything from prepregnancy through the first nine months postpartum—an especially crucial time for new moms who want to shed their baby weight safely and establish a fitness routine—and beyond.

This book is a must have for any mom who needs answers and perhaps just for any girl who needs to get rid of those unwanted pounds.  Congrats to Alison on the book!
