Keke Palmer wants new moms to know some truths about snapback culture.

The Nope star, who welcomed son Leodis with her boyfriend Darius Jackson in February, discussed the importance of new moms fighting the pressures to lose weight or to return to their pre-pregnancy bodies during an interview with People published on Wednesday.

The main thing I would say to any new mom is do what you can when you can, whatever it is that makes you feel good, she said, adding that new moms should only follow a workout regimen if it makes them feel good.

If thats not what youre worried about, then dont worry about it, she said.

Palmer later pointed out that often when celebrities immediately lose their baby weight or appear to snap back to their pre-pregnancy bodies, its largely due to the nature and cultural environment of their careers.

Anytime you see a celebrity doing a snap back or whatever like that, its part of the damn gig, she said. A part of our jobs is to look good and to look the part. So dont think its this thing where its like, We doing it because we got it like that. No, the job is on the line.

She continued, If we want the checks to get signed, we got to be what we got to be.
