Breastfeeding is the very best diet I’ve been on.

Romijn’s quip treats postpartum weight loss and body expectations with humor, reframing “diet” as something incidental rather than a punishing regimen. By calling breastfeeding “the very best diet,” she highlights the intense caloric demands of lactation and suggests that her body changes were a byproduct of caring for her baby rather than a deliberate pursuit of thinness. The line also lightly critiques celebrity culture’s fixation on rapid “bounce back” narratives: it implies that the most effective, sustainable changes may come from life circumstances and health needs, not from restrictive plans. At the same time, it’s a personal observation—not a universal prescription—since breastfeeding experiences and effects vary widely.
