Jennie Garth Explains How She Got So Skinny

Lookin' good, Jennie Garth!

Even though her just lately slimmer frame raised eyebrows earlier this summer, newly-divorced Garth confirms she's dropping weight the old-fashioned way: By way of a mindful diet program and tons of work out.

" I'm just taking care of myself: Consuming much less, working out a lot more, drinking a lot of coconut water," Garth, 40, informed Us Weekly at Thursday's Old Navy Denim Pop-Up Bar occasion in L.A.

Garth has admitted that her March split from Nurse Jackie's Peter Facinelli immediately 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 very good lady," explains Garth, who functions out with trainer Shannon Stewart. "I n ever think in depriving yourself of items you want."

The mom of 3 daughters, Garth has begun to start off 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 post -split and has lately been on dates with hunky photographer Noah Abrams.

Thursday's Old Navy party supplied Garth with an chance to display off her slender, attractive new bod to her old pal Luke Perry, with whom she not long ago reunited to film an Old Navy commercial. "It was weird, it was like no time had passed and we were back on the set yet again," Garth tells Us of filming the commercial with her former Beverly Hills, 90210 costar. In simple fact, their Old Navy reunion is a sign of issues to come.

"We want to function with each other yet again since we truly love just about every other and it would be wonderful to shell out time together doing work," says Garth, who is currently composing a sitcom with Perry, 45. Adds the actor, who played 90210's Dylan: "t's a excellent day at perform when you're with men and women you know and that you like."
