Seven weeks ago, Eva Mendes gave birth to her daughter, Esmeralda, and now, she has "re-transformed" back to her original slim form. The eye-brow raising question is how she could possibly manage to refashion her figure in such a small time frame? While people gossip about her methods and her strategy, let's step into the facts.

Media outlets strongly support the idea that this has to do more with her genetics and her natural daily routine, and less with those doubtful and out-of-the-box fitness measures. However, this transformation has still left many amazed. For some it is hard to believe that this 40-year old mother could maintain her stunning physique, but she says she watches what she eats very carefully. Apparently, that's what has been working well for her.

However, it seems that she does not hesitate when accepting the little treats her mother brings her every once in a while.

Perez Hilton reports, "And for her splurges, her mom's been cooking her traditional Spanish dishes. Those are her treats. While Ryan is gone, her mom has been spending a lot of time helping her."

Eva Mendes has also been exercising well; however she says she still has to "warm up" a bit more, till she can fully commit to a proper workout routine. Fans say, "It is rather impressive to see their idol, fall, stand, and shoot for the stars once again."

It's pleasing to hear that Eva is doing well, and hopefully, this star will continue inspiring her fans with her fabulous performances and unrivaled portrayals
