Top Chef Host Padma Lakshmi Dishes on Pregnancy

October 06 2009 18:20 PST

We already told you that the U.S. television show Top Chef’s host Padma Lakshmi is pregnant. Well now the former wife of Booker Prize winning author Salman Rushdie is dishing on her pregnancy, revealing all about her diet and physical adjustments.

"One thing that happens when you're pregnant is that as your stomach starts to stretch [and] it itches! So I have to keep my belly really lubricated. Every morning, there's a buttering ceremony after I get out of the shower. It's really like basting a turkey with body butter," said the 39 year old.

Sounds interesting! Is Padma still eating butter though or has the pregnancy altered her diet?
"I am as omnivorous as it's possible to be. I always say there's nothing I won't eat and nothing I won't wear. Am I gonna be having a Scotch on the rocks? No. But I never did that anyway," the former model revealed.

As for her body, Padma hasn’t noticed any difference from eating a lot during the shooting of Top Chef!
"During the course of filming Top Chef, I gain 15 lbs., so I'm used to needing two dress sizes. Now I'll just need three: my fat size, my skinny size and my super size." 

Sounds like the cookbook author has everything under control! Although she still won’t reveal the identity of the father, or the baby’s sex. Well, a girl’s gotta have some secrets no?
