Jessica Alba insists that her body is far from perfect, despite the way the media has portrayed her. Now a 32-year old and a mother of two, Alba says that she has a muffin top, cellulite, and stretch marks.

What's to blame? According to

The actress recently published a book on healthy living called The Honest Life: Living Naturally and True To You, and she has a lot to say about healthy eating in addition to fitness. "I started cooking for myself at 12 because a lot of food my family ate was processed. I wanted fresh," she explained to Women's Health UK. "I eliminated microwave foods, things with too much salt, and tried to eat more natural food, things that were cooked in a kitchen as opposed to a factory."

E! Online reports that Alba shared many of her favorite recipes with the magazine, including pizza, roasted chicken, and ice pops. However, if you can't get your hands on a copy of the magazine, they were also printed in Alba's book.
