Top Chef host Padma Lakshmi has ceased exercising as much and has consequently gained weight "quickly", she tells Page Six magazine.

At month six in her pregnancy, the 39-year-old Indian American cookbook author is pictured in the mag nearly nude, wearing gold gladiator sandals.

If she's gaining weight, it's hard to see in the photo.

"One of the reasons I think I've gained weight pretty quickly during my pregnancy is that I'm not exercising as much as I do normally, I can't. I'm feeling tired," she said to Page Six. "You hope that with age, what you pay for in gravity, you gain in gravitas. I'm sure my thighs looked better when I was 25, but I think my mind is better today."

Other celebrity stars going through pregnancy like Kourtney Kardashian turn to activities like swimming and yoga to keep up with their having-a-baby bodies. Former Playboy model Kendra Wilkinson on the other hand has confessed to indulging in her pregnancy cravings like BBQ and cheeseburgers - All of which give her the "pregnant butt" she loves!

Last week, Padma wasn't shy about her size when she showed up on the late night show with Jimmy Fallon. The mom-to-be wore a mini skirt and thigh high boots while on the interview and may have hinted at what she's having. See the video below.
