After having her fourth baby, new mom Niki Taylor talks about the difficulties of losing weight post-baby.

In an interview with In Shape magazine, the model mom talks about the importance of sticking to a strict routine, especially while raising four kids.

“I get up every morning at 4:50 a.m. and put on my running shoes and go for a nice little jog in my neighborhood. I get up before everybody else,” she explained. “That’s my time. I get to go over what the day is going to bring and I get to pray and clear my mind… It’s a lifestyle now and if I don’t, I feel like something’s off.”

As for cooking, the supermodel likes to tweak recipes to get rid of some hidden calories. “There’s so much sugar in drinks and dressings and sauces. Try to eat at home whenever you can,” she advised. “My husband and I eat a lot of clean, healthy food, lean meats, a lot of vegetables, and not a whole lot of sauces.”
