Leah Remini's post-baby diet

The King of Queens star Leah Remini famously gained 80 lbs during her pregnancy with daughter Sofia Bella, 3 in June, and has been outspoken about her struggle to lose the weight. Leah tells TV Guide the more-than-extra pounds were a result of a poor pregnancy diet, where she "ate like a pig" for nine months.

I just ate like crap. I ate anything and everything. I went back to my childhood. I'd eat a whole box of mac and cheese, McDonald's, French toast. I'd say, 'I don't eat it. My baby eats it.' But I went on a great diet.

The actress initially went on Jenny Craig and followed up with the 1st Personal Diet.

It's determined by the metabolic rate of your blood, and then they send you a diet on your e-mail. I was trying everything else. I did Jenny Craig and lost 10 pounds, but I couldn't get rid of the other 40. And this did it in six weeks.

Leah also says parenthood has put things into perspective for her, as it has also done for co-star Kevin James, who has a daughter Sienna-Marie, 18 1/2 months, and is expecting another girl in July.

When Kevin had his daughter, we lightened up. We used to obsess about the most ridiculous things, like, 'Why can't we have sesame bagels?' And since we've had the babies, we appreciate what we have.
