Jennie Garth Explains How She Got So Skinny

Lookin' good, Jennie Garth!

Although her not long ago slimmer frame raised eyebrows earlier this summer, newly-divorced Garth confirms she's dropping weight the old-fashioned way: Via a careful diet program and tons of work out.

" I am just taking care of myself: Consuming less, exercising additional, consuming a good deal of coconut water," Garth, 40, told Us Weekly at Thursday's Old Navy Denim Pop-Up Bar event in L.A.

Garth has admitted that her March split from Nurse Jackie's Peter Facinelli soon after 11 many years of marriage has taken a toll on her physique -- but says that she's not necessarily reaching for comfort meals all of the time. "I eat a lot of Greek yogurt: Greek yogurt in the morning, salads and proteins the rest of the day and perhaps a cupcake if I have been a great girl," explains Garth, who performs out with trainer Shannon Stewart. "I don't believe in depriving on your own of issues you want."

The mom of 3 daughters, Garth has begun to start dating yet again in the wake of her split. "She's happier than ever!" says a buddy of Garth, who romanced HGTV star Antonio Ballatore submit -split and has not long ago been on dates with hunky photographer Noah Abrams.

Thursday's Old Navy get together offered Garth with an opportunity to present off her slender, alluring new bod to her old pal Luke Perry, with whom she recently reunited to film an Old Navy commercial. "It was weird, it was like no time had passed and we had been back on the set yet again," Garth tells Us of filming the commercial with her former Beverly Hills, 90210 costar. In reality, their Old Navy reunion is a sign of factors to come.

"We want to perform together yet again because we truly enjoy every single other and it would be great to spend time together doing work," says Garth, who is at this time creating a sitcom with Perry, 45. Adds the actor, who played 90210's Dylan: "t's a fantastic day at function when you're with people today you know and that you like."
