Question: Why Won't My Post-Natal "Pooch" Go Away?

Great question. It is one that is on the mind of lots of new moms. The answer is different for everyone but I will give you a few things to consider and a few tips that have helped many mothers return to the body they remember.

Nutrition: Experts agree that a mothers nutrition – before – during – after pregnancy is a big factor believe it or not. Some studies point to poor nutrition being an underlying cause of stretch marks. Remember the baby is like a parasite in many ways. Mothers must focus on nutrition to minimize the negative impact on their musculature to grow the best baby possible. The era of eating anything you want – giving into every craving – and joining the choir of women singing “your body just changes when you have kids” – is over!

Time: The process the body goes through to stretch and accommodate the pregnancy is amazing and it takes time to recover. I have tracked significant progress for up to 2 years after birth. Do not give up.

Your DNA is Unique: Everyone is different. Your course with post natal recovery is going to be different than your friends. Share tips and secrets with people but remember that your body is unique. It will take hard work to rehab form the pregnancy – but I know you can do it.

Breast Feeding: I advise my clients to breast feed for 9-12 months. This is not just for the 101 reasons why for the baby. It is for you. The fluid and fat built up in your body for a reason. Breastfeeding. It will help vacuum the fat and fluid right back out. It is astonishing the difference it can make. I am not saying I can not flatten your belly if you do not breastfeed – but it really helps.

Train Abs 3 Weeks ON 3 Weeks OFF for ONE year: This is a “jimmy exclusive” and based on working with 100’s of post natal moms. This will make a big difference of the flattening process. Maybe I will write a short book on how and why it works – for now, just do as i say.

Supplements to Consider:

• Healthy Fats – I love Carlson’s Finest Fish Oil. hey depletion of need fat stores is a known fact of child bearing.
• Amino Acids Support – You grew a human – dude. Your body gave up lean tissue to make that baby. You need to get it back. Your are like a bodybuilder the first year after a baby. My favorites are glutamine and bcaa’s – but i am “{pro” amino acids, period.
• A good Daily Multi with plenty of Calcium – My favorite, of course, is VitaPlex by Schwartz Laboratories – 2 in the morning – 2 at night

No F.U.P.A for you,
