Octo-Mom Nadya Suleman now weighs 120 pounds and appears to have a taut, flat stomach despite carrying eight babies at once, just a scant year ago. What’s her secret?
It’s been only a year since Nadya Suleman, 34, gave birth to eight children, earning herself the nickname “Octo-Mom.” Of course, this single mom has actually carried and given birth to six other children.
In spite of that, she’s currently on the new cover of Star magazine with a body more often seen on a college-age supermodel. Her muscle tone appears high and her body fat looks low. According to Star, which featured her in an extensive photo shoot, she is down to 120 pounds from a pre-delivery 270 pounds – and she claims it all happened through diet and exercise.
The 150 pounds came off through her own efforts, Suleman insisted, and Star’s recent coverage includes her diet and fitness methods.
This means the massive fat loss didn’t occur through plastic surgery.
“No way, I would feel like I cheated,” Suleman told Star. “I wanted to prove to myself that I can do it on my own, naturally. My friends call me ‘Rubber Band’ because I always snapped back so quickly.”
But many mothers – certainly many who have experienced weight gain, stretched skin and separated abdomen muscles while carrying far fewer infants – opt for what’s known as the “Mommy Makeover.” It is a package that generally includes liposuction, breast augmentation and a tummy tuck.The “Mommy Makeover” often provides the results that exercise and diet alone just can’t provide.
In Suleman’s case, she insists she has not sought help from a plastic surgeon – although experts are dubious. Certainly, few would have faulted a woman for tummy tuck surgery to remove the remaining stretched skin after pregnancy and delivery of eight babies.
Given her considerable weight loss in a year’s time, and given the saddling schedule of a new family so large, the Octo-Mom’s body change seems a miracle.

Yep, a miracle. A SURGICAL miracle. Who does she think she is fooling?!! By the way, it has been revealed through investigations into her IVF doctor`s conduct that she actually had 14 embryos implanted, six died within days. And she used FRESH embryos though she had dozens and dozens in storage. That is an incredible amount of embryos to “freeze” for personal use. Wanna bet she figures on selling them off….her plan was to ensure that she never has to work a day in her life by living off the backs of her children, both those she has birthed and those she can sell off to be birthed by others! If I were looking to do IVF with a “donor” embryo I would be worried…..very very worried…..especially if I were in California!!
