Jessica Alba: 'Food cravings consume me'

Jessica Alba has revealed that her second pregnancy has caused her to be consumed with food cravings.

The Machete actress and husband Cash Warren announced in February that their 2-year-old daughter Honor Marie would soon be joined by a new sibling.

In an interview with Latina magazine, Alba remarked that she's learned the best approach to dealing with cravings is to simply indulge them.

"Sometimes you can't get a food out of your mind," she lamented. "I could always eat watermelon. With Honor, I loved fruit, too. It's a decent craving. You still eat cheeseburgers and pickles - you just want watermelon really bad."

The star added: "I don't deprive myself of anything. I eat whatever."

Alba also explained that she's taken a more relaxed approach to exercising during her latest pregnancy.

"I'd like to still do something five days a week, from a half hour to an hour - nothing excessive, just some moving [around]," she added. "It makes the whole pregnancy so much easier. The more fit you are, the easier the birth is, and a healthier baby you're going to have."

Earlier this month, Alba professed that giving birth to Honor in 2008 helped her to become more accepting of any physical imperfections.
