Jessica Simpson’s former trainer, The 5-Factor Diet author Harley Pasternak, is defending the singer’s new fuller figure.

“She has curves where a woman needs to have curves. We all go a little bit up and a little bit down. But she’s healthy,” Pasternak tells Extra.

At Sunday’s Kiss Country Chili Cookout in Pembroke Pines, Fla., the 28-year-old singer — dressed in high-waisted jeans and a double belt — shocked fans with her new curves.

But Pasternak says “she’s still sexy. She’s still a beautiful woman. And I have no problem with the way she looks.”

Adds the trainer, “I think if more people looked the way she looks now, the country would be a lot healthier.”
