The Aussie actress, who believes there is "body fascism" plaguing women in showbiz, says she swears by the super-strength garments to suck in her post-baby pounds.

In an interview with A U.S. newspaper, she told how a gruelling celebrity regime of sweat and starvation isn't her style.

When asked how she's so trim after giving birth to daughter Olive in October, and she grinned mischievously and lifted up her flowered blouse.

"Spanx!" she declared. "You know them? It's night and day!"

Digging into a jar of M&Ms, the former Home and Away star said she is still breast-feeding and admitted that she believes calorie-counting is a waste of time.

"I really felt like there's so much pressure on young women in show business.

"There's so much body fascism. I don't buy into any of it. But I do have good genes," she added.

Isla has had a busy schedule since giving birth.

In addition to promoting Definitely Maybe, she has also been filming another romantic comedy, Confessions Of A Shopaholic.

Earlier this week, she was spotted totting around her daughter Olive between takes of her upcoming film, which she is currently shooting in New York.

The film, which also stars Hugh Dancy, is an adaptation of Sophie Kinsella's novel series about a compulsive shopper in serious debt who becomes a financial advice columnist.

"I loved those books," she said. "I'm such a Sophie Kinsella fan. She's such a talented writer, and it taps into the consumer collective conscience," Fisher says. "I've done a lot of research - a lot of shopping."

Isla recently declared herself to be "the happiest I've ever been in my life".

And as she carefully covered her four-month-old in a hooded sheepskin wrap, it was clear she is a doting mother - and a fiercely protective one.

She has said: "You know, motherhood is my favourite topic in my personal life and I won't shut up about it.

"But it's not something I want to discuss publicly just because of the amount of attention it draws."

"Poor little Olive didn't choose to be exposed in that way so I'm very strong on that."

Still, the Australian star has revealed that having a baby has been life-changing.

"I think that all experiences definitely change your perspective on life, particularly motherhood."
