Jennifer Hudson still wants to eat for two

Jennifer Hudson wishes she could carry on eating for two.

The singer-and-actress – who gave birth to her son David in August – would love to continue eating as much as she did when she was pregnant but has been forced to "snap back" to a healthier diet to lose her baby weight.

She told ETOnline: "The trick is getting back into your old ways. If I could go around eating like I ate while I was pregnant, that'd be the way to go. But you have to snap back to it. It's like an on and off switch, you have to go back to the norm."

The 28-year-old star – who has the 10-week-old tot with her fiance, trainee wrestler David Otunga – loves being a mother and is amazed at how quickly her son is growing.

She said: "He's continually growing every day and getting smarter and cuter as the days go by. He tries to talk. He really tries and makes noises like, 'Yaaaaaah'. Nothing comes out, but he really tries to talk. I'm just like, 'Are you serious?' He really tries. He's adorable. I love him. He tries to smile too, and I love it, love it, love it."
