Haylie Duff is one yummy mummy-to-be, but that doesn't mean she wants to spend the rest of her pregnancy dressed in maternity clothes!

But, as the 30-year-old celebrity chef and Real Girl's Kitchen host tells Racked Miami, after "fighting the good fight on buying maternity clothes," she now has "this massive belly" and "can't deny that I'm pregnant any longer!"

"I've tried to not go too maternity," she clarifies, "but at a certain point you've got to have room, you know?"

She adores one item in particular, too: her David Lerner maternity leggings! "Those have probably been my favorite the whole time I've been pregnant," she says. "I'm sort of sad to lose them once I'm done with them."

Haylie might be dressing to accommodate for her baby bump now, but it's certainly not slowing her down. "I did Soulcycle through my whole pregnancy and I go on walks with friends," she tells Racked Miami. "You know, I've worked through most of it shooting season two of The Real Girl's Kitchen. So I've been active in general. Chasing my little nephew [Luca, sister Hilary Duff's 2-year-old son] around and playing with him has been exercise enough! We've taken him to the beach plenty of times."

Of course, Haylie's been eating healthy throughout her pregnancy as well. One place she stocks up on lots of fruits, veggies and fresh foods? Local farmer's markets! She has some advice, too, if you're planning to stroll through one to pick up your groceries. "Know what you're kind of looking for so you're not buying a bunch of random stuff that you don't end up using," she says. "Because everything at the farmer's market is fresh, right? So it goes bad a lot faster than what you get in a grocery store."

Somebody knows her stuff!
