If you've been dying to know Jessica Alba's diet and workout secrets, you may be disappointed to know the star says she doesn't do either. Of dieting, Alba says that's "for the birds".

While the 28-year-old California beauty looks every bit fit on this month's just-released cover of SELF magazine, Alba says she can't seem to get on track with her New Year's resolutions.

"I’m not a big workout person," she told SELF. "Every single day, I tell my girlfriends we’re starting a regimen. And then it’s, like, ‘Want to get dinner? Want a glass of wine?’”

But don't be mistaken - Just because Jessica Alba doesn't workout doesn't mean she negates healthy living. "I think you have to eat in a way that makes you feel your best. I include a lot of vegetables and lean protein and fruit and grains in my diet," she says, while also saying in the past she passes on healthy traits to her daughter, Honor (born June 2008).

“She doesn’t have sugar at all; she doesn’t even have fruit juice," Alba said in a past media interview of her daughter's diet. "She has, like, three-quarters celery or cucumber juice with a little bit of apple juice - that’s the most sugar she’s ever had," she added.

Adding, "I know it’s crazy but… she doesn’t know. She’s like, ‘Cucumber juice - awesome!’”

According to what else is "crazy" and  "awesome" is Alba's post-preggers body. While celebs like Kendra Wilkinson and Heidi Klum can't wait to shed their baby body weight, Alba says she's embraces the past experience and loves her stretch marks.

"Even though some might consider them a flaw, I’ve learned to love my stretch marks. Pregnancy was the most incredible experience I’ve ever had. So I’ll take the stretch marks. I’ll take the sagging boobs. I’ll take the cellulite I can never get rid of. If you walk around with your head held high and you’re happy and positive, then all that other stuff is irrelevant. Confidence is number one.”
