After having a baby, Heidi Montag talks about how she transformed into the "best version" of herself.
Heidi Montag is feeling like the “best version” of herself after shedding 22 pounds after the birth of her son, Ryker.
“I just had my second baby, and I learned from my first child that if I didn’t get back in the gym and really get that strength immediately, that I would end up with back problems,” Montag, 37, exclusively told Us Weekly while discussing her relationship with Hydroxycut. “So, I wanted to be the best version of myself, and I thought, ‘It is time to start working out as soon as possible.’” Montag and her husband, Spencer Pratt, had their baby, Ryker, now 13 months old, in November 2022. The couple, who wed in 2008, also have a 6-year-old son, Gunner. As a “tired [and] busy” mom of two, Montag told us that she “needed something else” to aid with her post-birth body change, and she found it in the weight reduction pill Hydroxycut. “I thought it’d be a really great one to incorporate into just the lifestyle that I was wanting to accomplish,” she said. “And they have multivitamins mixed in with it, and it gives me that energy as a mom of two that I need to get through the rest of the day. So, it was the right option to include in my objective, which is to be the greatest version of myself.” In addition to Hydroxycut, Montag focuses on eating the “healthiest possible food” and engaging in solid exercise. “It’s about getting in the gym, for me, and being able to lift weights,” she added. “I lift weights from three to five times a week, which I personally love. And then, being able to do other things—going hiking, being outdoors, being with the guys, playing soccer, and running around.” Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is something Montag hopes she passes on to her kids. “It’s also great to set that example for your kids and to show them, like, ‘Mom eats healthy. Dad eats healthy; let’s all eat healthy together,’” she told us. “My mom says I have the healthiest kids of anyone she’s seen. I definitely attempt to get the best stuff for them. I definitely don’t want to deprive them of being children, so it’s all about balance for them.” Pratt, 40, for his part, has begun on a wellness quest of his own. “I think that he just wants to build the most muscles, too,” Montag stated. “And so, he is in a gym and on his path, so we’re on the same path and different paths at the same time.” While Montag stated that she and her husband—who met while shooting the reality series The Hills—"used to be really competitive in the gym,” Pratt now lets her enjoy some time alone while working out. “Spencer has really stepped up and supported me completely, and he’s like, ‘No, it’s your time. Definitely go to the gym. I got the lads. I want you to concentrate on yourself and feel very good about yourself,’” the former MTV star shared. At the end of the day, Montag told us she isn’t focused on “comparing myself to anyone else,” but rather wants to be the “healthiest mom” she can be for her sons. “It was just a really good way to be able to have some more time for myself because, as a mom, you sacrifice so much. ‘Oh, I’ll do this later, or I’ll do that.’ Having that support from Spencer made it possible,” she concluded.
