Serena Williams has revealed that she thought she would lose weight while breastfeeding daughter Olympia - but says she remained the same size despite following a sugar-free, vegan diet.
The 36-year-old tennis star, speaking to journalists ahead of her continued comeback at Wimbledon this week, joked that it was 'a lie' that women shrank while nursing their babies.
The mother-of-one explained that she learned 'everyone's body is different' and said that while she had initially planned to only breastfeed for three months, she kept going until daughter Olympia was ten-months-old.
She said: 'I was vegan, I didn't eat sugar. I was totally eating completely healthily... and I wasn't at the weight that I would have been had I not breastfed.'
'What I've learned is that every body is different - no matter how much I worked out, it didn't work for me. I lost ten pounds in a week when I stopped. I just kept dropping.'
